Whether you’re searching for a single piece of equipment or want to create a home or commercial gym from scratch, the choices you make are vital to the success of your home fitness regime or commercial gym.
Philippe Starck is the poster-boy of design excess and has launched his own interpretation of home gym equipment at the Milan design expo 09. The project, "Home Gym Office" is an attempt to integrate gym equipment into an office environment. It's a decent premise, but his statement about the work sets the alarm bells ringing:
Life is an impossibility carried out. Better perpetuate it. For this we have to love life, to love ourselves at least 15 minutes per day. At home, at work. A few exercises and a good position, elegant obviously
That's exactly what i was thinking.....

Granted, the equipment is very 'designy', whilst being practical at the same time. I think these would make a perfect statement in any ultimate 'high end' home gym.
