Even though the pandemic may have subsided, having easy access to a home gym is now a no-brainer for people. It's just so convenient for the days when life gets in the way and you can't make it to the gym. 

But there’s so much equipment available and it is quite normal to feel overwhelmed while finding the perfect piece of equipment for your home gym. So, where do you start? How to find the best equipment that caters to your fitness needs.

The Days of Home Gyms as a Luxury are Gone

The gym is, in all honesty, the best place to build relationships, boost confidence, and combat depression.

Whatever your style of training—bodybuilding, powerlifting, Olympic weightlifting, Cross-fit, endurance sports, or anything else—most of us can agree that getting under a barbell, pushing our boundaries, and building a strong, confident body is therapeutic.

Essentials for a Home Gym

First and first, let's acknowledge that humans need human connection, regardless of how introverted you are—whether it's a little or a lot. Although the society we live in with its bots, automation, algorithms, and other gimmicks is fantastic for increasing productivity, it also makes it simple to avoid interacting with people.

Relationships are more beneficial than most people realise and can be the difference between being a permanent couch stamp and staying sane or making progress.

We have created the Ultimate Home Gym Packages for you so you don’t have to worry about the essentials you need in your home gym.

The Best Exercise Equipment for Your Home Gym

Here’s a list of must-have exercise gear, along with the rationale for each selection. This list is based on the objective to provide solutions that take any available area into consideration.

Pull Up Bar

Considering all the core exercises (squat, step, push, pull, hinge, trunk, and jump), it is almost hard to perform a vertical pull without the need of special equipment. Without a strong pull-up bar, you cannot perform a pull-up.

Pull Up Bar

Once you have a pull-up bar, you can do almost anything using a suspension strap system (or set of rings). This can enable you to pull in a horizontal direction. Again, without gym equipment, performing any kind of pulling exercise can be difficult, which is why a home gym needs equipment like this.

Dumbbells or Kettlebells

For space-related reasons alone, we strongly advocate for flexible sets. However, if space is not an issue, you could much rather get a set of rubber hex dumbbells. In addition to saving space, dumbbells and kettlebells can be used in a variety of ways to increase strength and fitness. You have the option of using two tools or loading your body ipsilaterally or contra-laterally. You can strengthen your smaller stabiliser muscles by doing this as well.

Dumbbells & Kettlebells

Adjustable Bench

A little extra room is needed for the next few items, but if you have it, an adjustable bench offers much more training choices than a flat bench. Although they cost more than other options, an adjustable bench can serve as a flat surface, an incline surface, a plyometric step or box, or an ostentatious table for your iPhone and protein shake.

Wall Ball

Wall balls are incredibly flexible when it comes to building strength and explosive power. Athletically, whipping it against a wall or the ground can be quite beneficial. 

Just make sure your floor or walls are strong. We won’t be responsible for your security deposit ;P

Wall Balls

Barbell, Bumper Plates & Squat Rack

These high-quality pieces of equipment are ideal for a full-home home gym setup. 

Moreover, rubber bumper plates are more adaptable and less prone to break than steel ones.

It is huge to have a barbell, bumper plates, and a squat rack if you can swing it.
