Cool... That's a relief.
$10,000 and only 225 sqare feet? You won't have to spend near that much money to have a decent home gym in that small of an area. What are your goals? Bodybuilding? Fitness? If you were into bodybuilding and freeweights, I would suggest a buying a rack with a bar and weight, an adjustable bench, and some dumbbells. That way you could do flat bench, incline bench, squats, you name it - you could do it. I've even seen some racks with a cable pulley system integrated into them for lat pulldowns/tri extensions, etc. All that could go into a 15'X15' room for under $4000 easy. Even cheaper if you buy used...
my suggestion would be to get a smith,power rack combo with a weight stack, lat/low row, pec deck, and a fid (flat/incline/decline) bench, $2000 then get a legpress/hack squat combo. $1000 A dumbell rack and dumbells.($200 to $1000) weight plates. with this setup youve got all the basics and room to spare for whatever else you want abs, jump rope, whatever...and still have room for 1 cardio machine.As a trainer for over 10 yrs I have setup many home gyms and this is the most space effecient way to go. ehatever you do dont buy cheap equipment. shop around

Garza, LOL
Kinsquat, me into Bodybuilding.
The reason why I'm prepared to spend up to $10000 is cos I don't want anything cheap (as in cheap and nasty). I'm not adverse to a good deal, but I want stuff that will last and is superbabe-proof (ie, hard to break !!!)
So far I've really only decided on I/F/D bench, and a power rack, with a noce array of Dbs and bars and plates. What do you guys reckon on cable jungles, leg stuff, etc......
And has anyone ever seen a multi-gym worth having....? I know I haven't...

Just to get in my $.02
Currently in my basement is a chin/dip station, an EZ bar, 150 in plates, wrist roller, and a #80 heavy bag hanging from the ceiling.
When the weather's nice and the drive easy - I head to the gym. Then back home to hit the bag for 10-15 minutes.
When it's cold, miserable, and/or icy. Warm up with the weights and hit the bag for 15-30 minutes.
