Home gym essentials at a glance
Types of exercise gear in this collection
Exercise gear in this collection falls into six groups, listed from the largest to the smallest.
Dumbbells, barbells and kettlebells
Free weights are the largest group here. Hex dumbbell sets come with a vertical rack, and rubber coatings protect floors. Adjustable dumbbell sets let one pair replace many, and barbell sets add a 67 in (170 cm) bar. Soft kettlebells with an anti-slip grip and weighted vests suit lighter, daily routines.
Power towers and home gym stations
Power towers and home gym stations pack many exercises into one frame. Models add a pull-up bar, dip station, cable pulley or a weight stack of 99 or 143 lb. Power racks and cages hold barbells for squats and presses. Browse more in our strength training equipment collection.
Treadmills and walking pads
Treadmills and walking pads give you steady cardio indoors, whatever the weather. Many are foldable, and most show speed and time on an LCD display. A walking pad slides under a bed, and a walking pad with 16.5% incline adds a harder workout.
Exercise bikes
Exercise bikes include upright, recumbent, folding and mini desk pedal models. Most use quiet magnetic resistance with 8 levels, plus an LCD display and an adjustable seat. See the full exercise and stationary bikes range to compare each style.
Weight benches and racks
Weight benches and racks turn a corner of the room into a strength zone. Adjustable benches change angle for flat and incline presses. A squat rack or bench press set adds plate holders, a pull-up bar and safety hooks. Check the weight capacity before you load a bar.
Mats, boxing stands and trampolines
Mats, boxing stands and trampolines add variety. Folding gymnastics mats measure 4 by 10 ft (1.2 by 3 m) and suit yoga and martial arts. A punching bag stand with a speed ball suits boxing drills. Browse our trampolines for family cardio fun.

How do you choose exercise equipment for a home gym?
Start with your main goal
Pick one goal first. Choose weights, a bench or a power tower for strength. Pick a bike or treadmill for stamina. A mat suits stretching and core work. One goal keeps your first purchase focused.
Measure floor space and ceiling height
Leave about 1 m (3 ft) clear on each side of the equipment for safe movement. Some tall pieces reach 87 in (221 cm), so check the product height against your ceiling.
Check weight capacity
Add your body weight to the weight you plan to load. Rack and cage ratings in this range run from 660 to 1,540 lb (300 to 700 kg). Choose a rating well above your total.
Look for foldable or adjustable pieces
Foldable treadmills, bikes and benches store in a closet. Adjustable dumbbells replace many pairs of weights. These features matter most in condos and shared rooms.
Plan for noise and floors
Magnetic resistance runs quietly, which helps in apartments. A mat under any machine protects flooring, cuts noise and stops equipment from shifting mid-set.
Where does home gym equipment work best?
Small apartments and condos work best with foldable and adjustable pieces. A folding treadmill, a mini bike and one set of adjustable dumbbells fit a corner. Add a yoga mat for stretching, and see our aerobic equipment range for step platforms.
Basements and garages suit larger gear. A power tower, a power rack and a weight bench need floor space and a firm, level surface. Rubber mats under heavy gear protect the slab and quiet the room.
Home office setups can use a mini desk bike or a walking pad between calls. Short sessions through the day add up. Explore the wider sports and recreation department for more ways to stay active.
How do you set up and care for home gym gear?
Home gym gear needs a level floor, tight bolts and regular wipe-downs. Assemble each piece on a mat, then retighten every bolt after the first few sessions. Wipe sweat from handles and pads after use, and fold or store gear dry. Stop using any item that wobbles or creaks.

Home gym FAQs
What exercise equipment do I need for a home gym?
A basic home gym needs adjustable dumbbells, a weight bench and a mat. Add a bike or treadmill for cardio workouts. A power tower or power rack covers pull-ups and squats once you outgrow the basics.
What is the best exercise equipment for a small space?
Adjustable dumbbells, a folding treadmill and a foldable bike suit small spaces best. They store in a closet or behind a door. A mat marks your workout area and protects the floor.
Is a power tower or a weight bench better for beginners?
A weight bench suits beginners who want simple presses and rows with dumbbells. A power tower adds pull-ups and dips in one frame. Start with a bench if space is tight, and add a tower later.
How much space does a treadmill need?
A folding treadmill needs about the length of the deck plus 1 m (3 ft) behind it. Leave clear space beside it as well. Check the unfolded and folded sizes on the product page before you order.
Are exercise bikes good for low-impact cardio?
Yes, exercise bikes are designed to give low-impact cardio because your feet stay on the pedals. Magnetic resistance lets you raise the effort in steps. Choose an adjustable seat so your knees stay comfortable.
How do I choose the right weight capacity?
Choose a capacity well above your body weight plus the weight you plan to lift. Rack and cage ratings in this range reach 1,540 lb (700 kg). The rating appears on each product page.
