Thanks for all the great replies! You guys had me convinced to take it and then hubby the realist pointed out that anywhere I could actually put it I won't really be able to see myself well in it anyway. Hmm. I need to go down and try to envision it before I go to her house tmrw!

Some other positive points about mirrors in workout space:
- makes the space feel bigger - reflects colors/decor from the other side of the space (it looks like I have twice as many plants in the room!) - I find myself working out more exuberantly! I like seeing myself looking energized - it's like it keeps me from just "going through the motions." - plus as many have said, invaluable for checking form! |

Yes, absolutely get the mirror! Checking your form is both useful and motivational. I'm lucky enough to have a mirrored wall, and mirrored closets on the opposite side.

I ended up passing on the mirror bc hubby was right. I looked all around my space and bc I have so much equipment/machines there is no place to put a 5'x3' mirror that it could actually be usable for my purposes. I may regret it but it just didn't seem doable. But bc of everyone's great comments I will be considering buying smaller mirrors if it seems i can make them work. Thanks again for all the great feedback!
