Problems solved by technology

Once purchased, the vast quantity of equipment can take up an overabundance of space.

This leads to unsightly equipment being stored in places that are out of the way such as closets, basements, or garages.

Unfortunately, this often leads to a decrease in equipment use.

Another downside to current exercise equipment is the astronomical cost.
