Home Gym Equipment

When designing a home gym, equipment is one of the most important of considerations. Should you go high-end and build a home gym with the crème de la crème, the best of the best- health club grade, commercial fitness equipment that would make a fitness trainer drool (but just might bust your budget)? Should you install a single purpose home multi gym or fill your space with lots of home exercise equipment - squat racks, stair climbers, ski machines, elliptical sports equipment?

If budget is an issue, should you buy used gym equipment, cheap gym equipment, discount gym equipment, reconditioned gym equipment? Or do you just go the simple route? A minimalist approach? A decent barbell set, a sturdy chinning bar, a multi-purpose fitness/exercise ball? There are so many choices in home fitness equipment that you may not know where to begin. If there are such things as ideal home gym designs, there are probably as many ideal setups as there are home gym owners. Which is to say that the weight stack, curl machine or seated calf raise recommended by your favorite athlete spokesperson, your fitness trainer or your neighbor who's recently discovered sprint training, may not be the right gym/exercise machines for you. Which is why we've assembled some super articles to lead you through the choices in home gym equipment.
