Hey Shawn! That is one hard question to answer. I've decided upon one piece of equipment, however, I'd like to give you my rationale on why I chose this piece of equipment. My top three are:
1. A 15 pound kettle bell
2. The TRX suspension trainer
3. Kangoo Jumps.
My final answer is Kangoo Jumps. If you don't know what they are visit www.kangoojumps.com and if you should decide to purchase a pair please mention my name.
As much as I love the TRX trainer and Kettlebells the workouts are primarily core and functional and there are thousands of activities that I can engage in that mimic the many movements one performs with either pieces of the above-mentioned equipment.
Kangoo Jumps on the other hand allow me to engage in high-intensity low-impact aerobic and anaerobic activity. My reality is that my body doesn't respond to exercise in the same manner as it did 20 years ago. This means I can engage in explosive aerobic and anaerobic activity without the impact on my body.
Thanks for your question.

An Airex exercise mat. We always have our bodies to work with. But a nice soft mat to cushion from a hard surface is unbeatable.

One piece of equipment. It's light and versatile. And many clients already have it. A Fitness ball (Swiss Ball, Stability Ball), you know that big round thing. Exercises range from simple crunches to complex mountain climbers and straight leg jack-knifes. Great for core, legs, arms and chest. Have a client do a regular push-up, then the same push up on a Fitness Ball. The instability forces you to use all those wonderful connector muscles. And when you use a Fitness Ball, EVERYTHING has to come to the party. Of course it's up to you to be creative, create a pace and flow, maybe some great music and crank out an amazing workout.

Shawn I've been a gym rat for more than 30yrs and a trainer for
5yrs. I would want a TRX suspension system or something like it.
I just returned from a trip and I had taken my TRX with me. I just threw it in the suitcase and used it every morning. It's like having your gym with you all the time.

GRAVITY! As long as we have that we can use our body to strengthen & build muscle! Seriously though...I'd have to say pull-up bar...there is much to be accomplished with a pull-up bar:
Hip Flexors, ABS, Back, Biceps, Lats, Rhomboids, Traps, Pecs, Triceps, Legs.
Even better would b a "power station" - a multi-exercise piece of exercise equipment that features a rectangle-shaped frame with both dip and pull-up bars.

TRX suspension trainer! I started TRX training last year and love it! I like how adaptable it is: studio, hotel room, outdoors. Followed by dumbbells and stability balls.

TRX, no doubt! I've been using it for many years now and nothing is more versatile regardless of the venue or client.

TRX. I use it in my studio and take it to client homes. I even use it when I travel. TRX for strength and add some cardio and you have a great workout anywhere.

I would say a barbell and a variety of weights so you have lots of options for strength training. You can get good cardio without machines.

Free Motion Dual Cable cross. You can do total body workouts and train two people at one time. Can't beat it!

As many have already said, my personal choice would have to be a TRX. Between the size, portability, functionality, and ease of use, I think it is the best piece of equipment to have on hand.
That's not to say there aren't many other wonderful products, but if I am really asked to pick just one, I have to go with a TRX.
