Does anybody else have a gym at home? I find it is really convenient and I'm a lot less self-conscious in my own gym. I also like the fact that I can watch or listen to whatever I want.

I'm pretty proud of the gym I've put together.
Treadmill: I paid $300 seven years ago. (I do use it, I just maintain it carefully.)
Recumbent Bike: I paid $89 four years ago.
Universal Gym: I paid $200 two years ago.
Stairmaster: I paid $25 at a garage sale.
Eliptical Trainer: I paid $30 at the local Goodwill store.
Free Weights (dumbells): $30 three years ago.
Weight Bench: free.

I used to think it would be really expensive to create a good gym at home, but between thrift stores and yard sales, I've managed to put together enough equipment that my workouts don't get monotonous.

Do you have a home gym? What sort of equipment do you have and why do you prefer working out at home?
