So my office is moving 5-6 months from now and they are starting to clear out furniture. My office is in an old technical college and we have about 2x as much room as is actually needed. The company is not going to renew the lease and has signed a new lease starting mid next year in a space that is 1/2 to 1/3 the current size. I have not seen the new office yet, but of the 50 or so managers that work in that office about 40 of us work from home now and only go into the office to drop off paperwork and cheques etc. There are another 20 or so support staff in that office.
The gym room had a flatscreen monitor, treadmill, bike, eliptical machine, Squat rack some kettle bells floor mats and random barbells and wts. This universal machine was also up for auction. I checked it out and it has hardly been used. The minimum bid was $50. On the day of the auction, the office printed the mid day bids and no one had bid on this machine. The bidding was by email (hidden bid) and closed at 4pm. I bid $101 at 3:50-pm and won.
It is a Body Craft. The model type is obsolete, but used to be around $2600 new. I found a couple of them on Craigslist/Kijiji for $1200-1300. It is about 9 feet long by 4 feet wide and 7 feet tall. Luckily I live in a huge home and have room. I plan to put it in place of my full size poker table which I have not used in 2 years.

The table was made by a friend of mine Tony Chan of Chanman Poker Tables. He sold it to me at cost because I helped him deconstruct and move around 20 tables that he bid on when a local casino closed down. (to make way for a new much larger one)
