Extra Details:

I've cleared out a bedroom, so I could convert it into a home gym. The room is about 11' x 13'. Since it's not the largest room, I need to be strategic about the equipment I put in. I'd like to get as diverse equipment as the space permits. What should I get?

If you’re going for versatility in a compact space, Technogym’s Rack Personal is a good one. It’s sleek, doesn’t hog a ton of room, and gives you a crazy amount of exercise options for its size. Think squats, presses, deadlifts—you name it. It’s designed to look good (which is rare for gym equipment). Pair it with a bench and maybe some adjustable dumbbells, and you’ve got a killer setup without overcrowding your space. It’s practically made for people who want both function and style in a home gym. The only con I could think of is the price, but if you're going to invest in something that's also beautiful to look at, I think the price is justifiable. 

Technogym's Bench is another dream piece I'd have in my fantasy home gym. So sleek and versatile.

I love my Peloton tread. 

I use it daily to get the 10,000 steps in. I like the fact that I can walk at my own pace whenever. Usually after dinner, I walk for half an hour. 

Yes, Peloton requires a monthly subscription service if you want to use their workout programs, but it's quite useful and keeps me motivated to work out consistently. And that's crucial in a home gym setup.
