My advice is to get a membership at the Y and fill the room with storable food:

Go with the cheapest stuff so when you change your mind in 3 months it won’t be as painful.

Oh my god. I HATE you all right now.  ::)
There was a little girl,
            Who had a little curl,
Right in the middle of her forehead.
            When she was good,
            She was very good indeed,
But when she was bad she was horrid.

Don't underestimate the importance of the underlayment. An expensive flooring material on a bad underlayment is an expensive faux pas. Dense cork is amazing; moistureproof and bug resistant.

@KSM, agree?
Thank you for mansplaining flooring to me @sean92008 , I'm sure DickHead @KSM will back you up on this one. I was going to do it myself but since you're both so eager I'll expect you over bright and early to get started. Lunch will NOT be provided.

In all seriousness I'm not laying down a permanent flooring option at this time. I'm ripping out the carpet (it was an extra spare bedroom before) and laying down rubber flooring. It's the puzzle type so any doofus with a T-square can cut it for wall to wall installation. I'm laying it directly on the subfloor. It'll hold up to my reformer as well as the other...activities...that will take place in the room and will be easy to remove should I ever change my mind (looking at you, you rat bastard @GravitySucks ). I plan on doing it in black so it'll show off the silver bricks and gun storage that will take place in the former walk-in closet as @Walks_At_Night recommended. The tank will need to be stored in HIS driveway because mine is concrete and can't take that sort of weight.

But remember; she hates us! She will do the opposite out of spite - even to her own detriment.

Truth on the first
False on the second.

WEIGHT TOWER?  You??  Why..  with the TRX and reformer (just to mention a few of your activities) will do everything you need unless you're suddenly getting into bodybuilding. No. A weight tower is overkill unless you're looking to impress your friends, and self, just having the damn thing. YOU don't need it.

Get real, lady.  ::)

Look AssHat, you don't know as much about me as you think you do.  ::) I have a proper gym in my neighborhood a block away, so when I want to lift, which is about three days a week I cruise on over and get it done. There is no reason to have a big set up in my home. HOWEVER, I do add weights into my pilates routine and other exercises. Light weight between three and twenty pounds, so this will be a perfect compact storage option. @KSM

8mm-9mm rubber flooring?  That seems thin. Presuming it's not very spongy.

Petroleum product flooring. Humm.

I should be pulling the trigger on my flooring for my workout room, but for some reason I'm hesitating. 8mm or 9.5mm. It doesn't matter!!!! Just order it all ready. It's been sitting in my shopping cart since Saturday morning. ::) I'm perhaps enjoying dreaming about the finished project more than getting the project done.

1. Flooring
2. Mirrors
3. Art
4. Speakers
5. Vesa mount monitor
6. Ballet Bar
7. TRX
8. Weight Tower

That's the dream.

I'm curious about #3 the most.

Yes @sean92008 . It's recycled rubber. Wears well and provides good traction and impact resistance and will stand up to the weight of my reformer without damage, unlike foam or vinyl tiles. Supposed to be low maintenance. I believe it is a Shore 65A hardness. I'm not dropping olympic weights on it or doing tumbling or anything like that so I don't need anything beyond a 3/8" or 9.5 mm. I could go up to 1/2 inch but I think that would be overkill in my space and wasted money.

Me too  ;) @Camazotz Automat . I'm going to do some ink gesture drawings of pilates poses and may add water color to them for a little pop. I was inspired by some pieces I've seen around the net. I bought some new pens to play with. In the past I've always done my gesture drawings with india ink and a bamboo brush or bamboo nibbed pen. So this will be a fun project to try some new techniques on while decorating my space.

I'm also thinking of doing a mural in there but that will depend on how I end up doing my mirrors. I thought a large abstract-ish tree mural could be fun where my ballet barre will be.
