Are you tired of schlepping to the gym, only to find it full with a long wait for the treadmill or elliptical?

Maybe it's time to invest in your own equipment.

You can save thousands of dollars by buying your own equipment if you know what to buy and where to buy it.

But, you also don't want to purchase equipment that will quickly become a place to hang clothes.

Dr. Barbara Bushman joins Melanie Cole, MS, to share the ultimate list of equipment that is worth the money... and which equipment is absolutely not.

If the people and energy of a club are your motivator, then this segment may not be for you.

But, if you want to be able to work out on your own schedule, with no lines, no smells and no need to wipe off the machines because the previous user couldn't be bothered... then this show is a must-listen.
