Just ordered a trap bar and curl bar that fits in my power rack (84"). Yep, a 7' olympic curl bar. The ever evolving home gym! The only thing I hate about ordering new equipment is having to wait for it!!

I'm torn as well. Its cheaper to do a home gym, but like you said the regular gyms have extra things like the steam rooms (and bball court in my case). I also find that if I do a workout at home sometimes I cut it short but if I'm at the gym I feel obligated to do the full planned workout, but that might be just me. Is there some place else you can get the steam room? I say this because the ski resort I have a pass at let you use the sports facility which has all that stuff. Maybe a tanning salon or something? But at that point it becomes more than its worth as its so easy to step in a steam room before or after a workout but to drive somewhere just to steam room seems not quite worth it. After this typing I think I'm more unsure. Anyone make a steam room at home?
I knew a guy on another site that did. I believe that there are kits for them. Google it and see.

Ordered a trap bar and a 7' Olympic curl bar that fits in my power rack. Should be here next week. Being able to shrug, deadlift, squat, and even do rows with the trap bar just adds to my options every night and allows me to really mix up the workouts.
With the giant curl bar I am excited to close grip bench with the different hand wrist angles. Will also be nice for skull crushers and of course curls and being able to use the safety bars and j hooks of my power rack versus pulling out the TDS stands all the time to use with the standard length curl bar. In this case it is approved to curl in the rack baby!!

Wish i had about 5000$ to spend at Rogue Fitness. I would love to have a decked out home gym.
I put my gym together 11 years ago. Its 90 percent Body Solid. Not pictured is a Stair stepper and a bike.

That's sweet Nitrous! I have some Body Solid equipment as well. Their Functional Trainer is awesome!

I was going to add a gym account originally but my house gym has really converted out better than I even had originally organized. Don't know if I could ever go returning to a professional gym now other than to maybe mix it up every now and then in the future.
