I like the room with the iron in it. Now I'm not one to say anything because I tried to permanently put in an iron and board in my bathroom and the Missus shot me down. But still, "iron and ironing board" and "man room" don't mix very well.
I think that basement room is pretty organized for all the stuff it has in it. It's my bike room that makes even me a bit twitchy.
btw what is that red swing/hammock thing hanging near the squat rack?

Wut??...I just cleaned up the place 
I was gonna say it looks worse than it actually is.............But it don't lol
Jokes aside..The room is about 20-25 square meters, but due to the pictures angle it looks smaller
It really works great for workout! I'm there to swear and sweat...Not for a cup of tea

now after the cleaning...

and right after I did that huge cleanup, I dismantled my bike and started working on my new project.
it's like a huge part of the basement and my bedroom is connected to it, so my mancave is like HUGE LOL

A training station with different slings that can be attached. Saved my back for sure
Take a look at their site. It's a VERY good piece of training equipment,
but unlike most commercial grade stuff, it needs some instruction/reading.
I have two ceiling mounts in the room..Easy to take down/hang up

It was getting to the point that there were bikes, wheels and equipment all over room off the garage and it was driving me nuts. I found some great racks and some slat board and had a buddy of mine help me install it all.
Now it's organized and neat. My wife thinks it looks like a bike shop. I took that as a compliment though it probably wasn't.
Have a looksy.
