Two summers ago Karl bought a home gym on clearance at a sporting goods store. I am told it was a great deal. The (very heavy) boxes of unassemble home gym have been sitting in the warehouse since then. I finally urged him to either sell it on Craigs list or put it together so we could actually
look at use it. So he had his delivery guys bring it to the house and haul it downstairs, (everyone should have their own delivery guys). One Saturday we decided to have at it.
So, just 3 hours and 20 minutes later we finished. All the parts were there, the instructions were pretty easy to understand, and we didn't get mad at each other!
Now I never have to go to a public gym, I can go to my basement to sweat and groan in private. Maybe I should note that I never have been to a gym before, never even been tempted. But the 5 minutes I spent on this machine was okay, I might use it again.
