What piece of equipment/gadget do you pine for?

I desperately want a set of those adjustable dumbells. One set with all the weights... awesome! I also, drool over the Total Gym every time I see the infomercial. Price prohibits me from getting the dumbells and space prohibits me from getting the Total Gym. Does anyone else have things they are dying to get, but will probably never be able to?

I've been lusting over the Fluidity bar. I have no idea why since I never use workouts that would utilize it but of course I think if I had it that I would. I would also love to have a pair of adjustable dumbells but somehow it doesn't make sense when I already have all the weights I need. Now the plate mates may be useful and I can see myself getting them someday....

A good, quality recumbent bike or elliptical trainer would be nice since I can't do any high impact for the time being. However, I just can't justify such an expenditure at this time in my life, and I don't foresee that changing any time soon, unless a miracle happens and I win the lottery without even purchasing a ticket!

On my list of "if I only had the room and the money" buys:
Versaclimber
Concept II Rower

(I think I have everything else

!)

I'm very tempted by the 45 cm BOSU Sport. We're going to be moving cross-country in June though so I'll probably wait until this summer before taking the plunge.

I want a new HRM because I've had my old one for a while and figure it will poop out soon. Plus I would like one with a couple of specific features that mine doesn't have.

I've also got a hankering for a Reebok step. I think I would like it better than my studio step.

I've been terribly intrigued by Supreme Pilates, but missed out on the cheaper price and refuse to pay that much for something I might not like. Then I'd forego my shipping charges and have to pay a fortune to send it back. I'm waiting for it to come to Target, so I can try it out and simply return it if I want to.

Kathryn, these are the two pieces that I want to complete my gym.

I have a treadmill, spin bike, LifeStep, and LifeCycle. I have always wanted these two pieces of equipment.

I would love to have a BOSU...I think I'll buy one for my birthday-or sooner if Dick's has a sale...
I also don't have a full-size club step (believe it or not!) I still have the step my mom gave me 13 years ago for my birthday. It's the step that came with the Kendall Hogan video and is smaller than a full-size club step. I just know the minute I break down a step is going to show up in the thrift store or in Play it Again Sports.
