Looking for a home gym system for toning up.

Would prefer a weight free systems such as the Bowflex Classic but I am not too fixated on that.

Any recommendations?

Thanks.

What's your budget ?

Your budget is an important factor in the type of equipment you go after. If money isn't a concern, I suggest getting a cage system from Body Solid, with the necessary accessories depending on the type of workouts you're wanting to achieve.

In my personal experience, I found I am more motivated to work out at home once I got professional gym-quality equipment at home. It just isn't the same with cheaper, flimsier equipment.

I'd go with Power Rack with free weights, even putting on and taking off weights is a workout in itself.
Maybe Powertec http://www.treadmillfactory.ca/p-65-c-8 ... -11-s.html
Or BodySolid http://www.treadmillfactory.ca/p-62-c-8 ... r378s.html

I picked up a Nautilus system at Costco about 6-7 years ago. Excellent purchase. I think its model is NT-CC1, NT-CC2, NT-CC3 or similar. Likely not on sale any longer, but you might be able to locate one via Kijiji or eBay. I found someone who posted a few pictures below.

Between that unit and a pair of the Selectech dumbells, you can put together a robust and varied weight training plan.

Aside from that, for cardio you can use the good paved pathways all around Milton for some running.

Thanks folks. I wanted to keep it under a $1000 so I know there are quite a few in that range.
