Having the best gym equipment brands for the home can make a tremendous difference in your workout results.
While a home gym was once considered a luxury, many people are now dedicating space to work out in their homes and garages.
From simple weights and yoga mats to high end cardio machines, there are many ways to stay in shape without setting foot in a gym.
To help you get started, we selected our favorite pieces of home gym equipment to fit a variety of fitness needs and budgets.
While there’s wide variability in home gym equipment, here are a few key factors to consider as you’re shopping around:
- Purpose. Are you looking to build strength, or is cardio more important? You’ll want to prioritize items that meet your current fitness needs, especially if you don’t have the space or budget for multiple pieces of equipment.
- Price. Gym equipment items range in price from around £10 to several thousand Pounds. While you shouldn’t sacrifice safety or quality, you can often save money by choosing products with fewer high tech features such as touch screens and Bluetooth capabilities.
- Warranties. Even high quality gym equipment can break, which is why it’s important to pay attention to the type of warranty the manufacturer or retailer provides.
- Customer reviews. Make sure to read several customer reviews, as they often provide honest feedback about the design, durability, and functionality of a product.
