Matter of fact we are moving, will be having a small room instead of a basement dedicated to equipment and they are immediately going up! As far as having mirrors behind equipment - your on a treadmill or lifting weights - not throwing them!! LOL!!!
To Amyinaustin - its your home, don't worry about what others think. Enjoy your space especially if it's for getting healthy!
