I highly recommend a TRX.
If you can afford it, a Paramount Functional Trainer is really good as well as a Freemotion Aerobic Functional trainer

If you are on a tighter budget I recommend a yoga mat, an exercise ball, and some dumbbells.

I would also recommend the TRX system - simple to install and multi-functional to say the least. Dollar for dollar, I would recomend that you put any/all dollars into this system because you can take it with you when you travel and it doesn't take up a lot of room at your house.

In addition to being convenient, it emmulates all of the necessary movements specific to riding: front/back; left/right; top/bottom. By forcing your body through all of these body planes, you are increasing your overall body strength (official term is Functional Integration) in a shorter period of time.

I have seen numerous times where riders think that they need to add extra weight, when they struggle to move their own weight around in the correct way.

When you add up the cost of dumbells and free weights, you will be amazed how expensive it can get. Don't get me wrong, I believe there is a place with free weights, but only after the rider is strong enough moving his/her own body weight around.

NOTE: I DON'T SEEL THE TRX SYSTEM; JUST PROVIDING YOU MY OPINION HERE.

I placed 2-1" eye hook into my rafters through the roof of my garage shoulder width apart. Then you can quickly hook, unhook the system. Let me know how it works out for you.
