Everyone person will have their own needs and goals when it comes to their home gym essentials. But we’ve put together a short list of what we feel form the basis of any great home gym.
Home Gym Essentials: Dumbbells
Dumbbells are one of the best multi-purpose pieces of equipment and right up there as a Home Gym Essential.

Most you simply hang on a door frame too and you can use your resistance bands in a variety of ways to assist your workouts.
Find Your Perfect Home Gym Set Up
It’s amazing what kind of home gym you can set up in a relatively small space.
If you don’t have the rare luxury of dedicating a whole room to a home gym (few of us have), why not utilise your half floor space in the office by pushing your desk and chair tighter against the wall?
Even better, why not clear out that old shed? You’ll also benefit feeling like you’re out of the house for your workout. Just make sure the area inspires you a bit, with some cool lighting and good music.
Be wary of dropping weights on the floor though! That’s where home gym flooring, like the affordable and durable Rival Rubber Flooring 15mm Mat can be absolutely crucial!
Cardio Machines
If you have that extra bit of space, and budget, to play with, a home gym cardio machine will really set you apart.
Don’t rush into buying one without doing your research, however, because there is such a variety and they might not all suit you.
There are treadmills, up-right exercise bikes, spin bikes, assault bikes, recumbent bikes, rowers, ellipticals and more.
We’ve got all the leading brands right HERE.
Accessories
Don’t rule out other neat stuff like medicine balls, foam rollers, ab rollers, TRX and more.
We’ve got them all in our accessories.
And if you want to look cool while working out at home, some wearable tech will do that and so much more in term of fitness metrics.
