This is a timely thread. I currently have the use of a spare bedroom that makes for a perfect home gym, plenty of room for multiple pieces of equipment, ceiling fan, space for the TV and my workout collection. We even bought this house specifically because we could have a dedicated gym and home office. However, as DH and I have gotten older, we find that the house is too big and maintenance is too prohibitive, and we want to downsize to something like a loft or a condo. However, when we were first married and had to make do with a two-bedroom apartment (largeish, but still), we were crowded on top of each other and I had no gym room and basically used the complex's workout facility, letting my extensive video collection gather dust. I'm trying to figure out a nice compromise with either a big enough living or bedroom that I could just work out in there (creatively concealing my gym equipment when not in use), or sharing space with a second bedroom doubling as a gym and office. As we both work from home several days a week, though, the office really needs to be a place of quiet most of the day. So frustrating, and I'm not sure what to do.
