Splurge:The HOIST V5 allows you to do more than 50 exercises. And it's small (four by six feet); you can tuck it into a corner so your living room doesn't look like a gym.

EDITOR's PICK HOIST V5 Multi Gym - "Simply put: the best single-stack home gym available. The units seated leg curl is smooth and comfortable and will let you - finally - get serious hamstring workout with a home unit. The V5 also scores points with its press arms. On most machines, both home and commercial, you push or pull the handles along a fixed track and as a result you never work the smaller stabilizer muscles in the shoulder. But the smart design of the V5's arms gives it a free-floating feel - much like a dumbbell workout - forcing you to use and strengthen those important stabilizers."
