Exercise equipment is a fundamental element of an effective workout regimen for many people. There is a seemingly endless assortment of equipment of all types, sizes and price ranges from which you can choose. While this is a good thing because it offers something for everyone—and allows you to constantly switch up your routine by adding new pieces of equipment—it can also be intimidating because there are so many available options.
If you are just at the initial stages of starting to consider a home fitness equipment purchases, it may be helpful to start by thinking about the general categories of fitness equipment, and then working your way into more specific options from there.
Some of the most popular types of home fitness equipment include:
Treadmills: this is an oldie but goodie, as it is one of the most traditional staples of a home fitness arrangement. It is also commonly the first home fitness equipment purchase a household will make. Just because treadmills have been around for a long time doesn’t mean they are yesterday’s news. You might be surprised by some of today’s high-tech, modern treadmills that in many cases are packed with the latest technology and lots of cool features.
Exercise bikes: another longtime favorite of fitness buffs, exercise bikes have also come a long way over the years. There are a wide range of choices, from basic to upscale, in both the upright and recumbent categories. As with treadmills, the more basic models are great options for new users or those on a limited budget.
Elliptical machines: sort of a blend of the best aspects of a treadmill and bike—with other elements thrown in—ellipticals are quickly becoming a popular choice for home fitness. The wide range of choices allow for users to select a machine that is perfectly suited to their priorities, abilities and goals.
Free weights and weight machines: at the more low-tech end of the spectrum, weights and weight machines continue to be extremely popular, especially with serious athletes or those seeking to build strength and mass. Today’s weight machines offer incredible versatility and flexibility, though, so a single set-up can easily accommodate users of various abilities and fitness levels.
Of course, we also have many other fitness equipment options for your home gym, along with a vast inventory of accessories and optional extras.
