For us it is the Total Gym (way before it became an informercial) my husband uses it everyday and LOVES it, P90X and the Fanny Lifter.

I didn't really think I had anything - but I'm so wrong. I have the Fanny Lifter - the sculpting stick - the Transfirmer - and the flippy blue step (is that the death box I hear so much about) & P90x. I didn't really want the Transfirmer - had no intention of buying that one but was sucked in by the infommercial.

I still use the fanny lifter and the Transfirmer - glad I have them but I actually don't use them with the Firm workouts they were intended for.

Me too, and I LOVE THEM and use them in almost every workout for pushups or tricep dips. They're great for people with wrist soreness. They also make pushups more challenging.

I never watch TV though. I'm assuming the Perfect Pushup ab straps that I bought have also been on an infomercial. I love those too.

I've purchased infomercialgadgets over the years, but not for a while.

I remember having the Tony Little Gazelle (became a clothes hangar until I sold it at Play-it-Again sports)

I also had the Brenda Dygraf stepper thingy (also got rid of)

I had the Fluidity bar

I had the Transfirmer

I currently still have Perfect Push-ups, but I haven't used them much at all because I use the Beachbody push-up handles.

I also still have my Fanny Lifter: but I repurposed it as a table for my laptop a long time ago.

I've bought a few workouts and systems (especially BB) that are on infomercials, but not from the infomercials (for example, I bought P90X when it first came out, before there even was an infomercial).

(InfoRmercial doesn't exist, as far as I can tell. Infomercial is a combo of "info" and "commercial").

Ah, that reminded me of one I missed... I had Tony Little's rocker thing (stepper). It was kind of fun!

I bought the Firm BSS 1 set. I ended up donating the fanny lifter to a good cause when I bought a high step topper.

I did buy the Body by Jake Bun & Thigh Rocker which I still have and still use.
I like it a lot. However, it's not as portable as was advertised, but I do find it to be effective.

I think I have enough toys to get the job done.
