Need recommendations for fitness equipment: yoga, pilates, stretching?


I want to install a small home gym in a 9.5 x 11.5 room (8′ ceiling) on my second floor. The purpose of this is two-fold: I need to lose weight, and I need to regain strength and flexibility.

I was thinking of installing a ballet bar or parallel bars and buying a new or used Total Gym (for pilates).

What do you all think? Anyone have experience with Total Gym? Any recommendations on an alternative piece of equipment?

If you saw your neighbor jumping rope in the laundry room around 5 a.m. in the morning, what would you think?

LovingSoul asked:

I can’t afford a gym membership or fitness equipment right now. I also live above an elderly woman, who is very noise conscious, so exercise tapes for cardio is out of the question. Thus, I plan to jump rump for my cardio each morning, and train with free weights at home. Winter is coming, so I can’t jump outside, nor would I want to be that visible anyway. So I’m planning to jump rope in the building laundry room early in the morning before most people wake up. The floor is concrete, and it’s very large, spacious, and well lit. I’m sure someone may walk in on me at least once before the year is over, though it’s unlikely at the ***** of dawn(around 5 a.m.). What would you think if you found out your ADULT neighbor was jumping rope in the laundry room before the birds woke up? LOL
There are also windows and a waiting area in the laundry room, so it’s not isolated and dark like most basement laundry areas.
I’m also carrying extra weight, so I’m sure it will be a sight to see. :)

Moving to the west side of cleveland and looking for a great gym?

sunbeamsis asked:

We’re moving soon to the western side of cleveland. I used to be a member at the downtown Y in orlando, fl which had all the ammenities one could ask for in a gym (pool, sauna, steam room, computerized fitness equipment, exercise programs etc). Is there anything comparable up there for a decent price? I’m having a hard time finding ratings or recommendations for any of the gyms or health clubs.
