Hmmm, this sounds like you need some more creative storage solutions to me...

Let us know how we can assist!

I've already added two small tables next to the media console (whose drawers are already full!) and have filled those up quickly. I do have workouts from instructors that I love that I rarely reach for. Just because I love an instructor doesn't mean I have to love (or like) everything they make!

Well you're right. I do find there's an ebb and flow in my collection with some trainers as I try other workouts of theirs and gradually purge some that, for whatever reason, don't seem to click with me. Sometimes it takes awhile to get there though. (I adore Gilad but only kept 4 of his workouts...but I acquired many more initially.)

Now as to your storage solutions...

How about an under the couch tub? The under bed storage containers usually fit under a couch (unless I'm misunderstanding the set up in your room?)

i found a like-new Gaiam "Total Toning Pilates" kit, with S-shaped weights and sealed workout DVD with Ana Caban for $6 after using a $2 off coupon at Saver's.

https://uedata.amazon.com/Gaiam-Pila.../dp/B0012K1BN2

there were two favorable VF reviews here:

At goodwill, i picked up Irish Dancing by Jean Butler ($3). Collage used to carry this DVD and there's a VF review of this DVD. i got it out of curiosity.

Jeannine, I have the Total Toning Pilates kit - I hardly ever use the workouts (although they are fine), but I love the S-shaped weights!

I have that kit. I remember really liking it but not doing it very many times. I was doing studio Pilates twice a week at the time. I left it in Seattle to do on trips back up there when I moved to California ahead of my husband. We just finally sold our place up there last fall and it's now in one of the boxes stacked in the house we're remodeling here so I won't find it for a bit. Great breakdown in the VF reviews. The first two sections will be very useful for times when my knees are giving me grief since they're on the floor. Something to look forward to.

I think those weights would be great to carry while on an outside walk.
yes, kind of reminds me of Benedict Cumberbatch in Dr. Strange!

Ana Caban is one of the most creative instructors that I've experienced. Whenever i see her workouts, i buy it, and these are all used. I've seen too many pilates workouts where gadgets/tools were added but very little thought was put into the moves.
i thought it was serendipitous finding that kit because a recent thread motivated me to purchase Ana's Bodyball workout.
