In the past I've had a crosstrainer, which became a piece of furniture until I sold it. I've seen many other people do the same, by a piece of equipment and then don't use it.
I'm consideting getting a treadmill to help with my daily step target as i get so sweaty and unkempt walking outside I can be put off if it's not quite cold to mitigate my heat. I also want to get a curling bar to add to my dumbbells so that I can workout when I can't quite fit in a gym trip.
Would they be doomed to the back of a cupboard or does anyone consistently use their equipment? If you're lucky enough to have a full on home gym, this probably doesn't apply to you as I think the issue is when the equipment becomes part of your living space rather than kept in a room you go to specifically to workout in.
