i want to start a home gym. what the basic equipments i should consider buying?

Answer 1

Depending on the kind of space you have for your "home gym". if space is limited, free weights, like dumb bells will do fine. if you want to have a mini gyms, standard equipments like treadmills, cycles, or a universal gym machines. below are a short description of each types of equipments you can consider:

Treadmills: The treadmill is perhaps one of the most classic pieces of fitness equipment. Home treadmills have come a long way over the years. There are fold-up models for small spaces that can be stored under a bed or in a closet. There are also high-tech models that track heart rate and have a variety of programmable features. A treadmill is a great piece of equipment to have because it allows you to walk or run even if the weather outside is lousy.

Ellipticals: The elliptical machine is another popular piece of workout equipment. An elliptical simulates the act of walking and/or running but is gentle on the joints. You get a total body workout with an elliptical machine, often in half the time it would take if you were actually walking or running. Most ellipticals allow you to adjust resistance for a customized workout.

Cycles: Exercise bikes or cycles are also popular for home gyms. Many of them feature handles that move back and forth, allowing you to work your upper body while working your lower body. If you like biking, then you will definitely enjoy an exercise bike. Like treadmills and ellipticals, models range from simple and budget priced to high tech and expensive. Recumbent cycles are quite popular these days as they allow you to cycle in a comfortable reclined position.

Home Gym Machines: Perhaps the most multipurpose piece of equipment in our home fitness equipment review is the home gym machine. These machines include names like Bowflex, Precor, Golds Gym and the Total Gym. With one of these machines, you can strength train your whole body without the need for multiple machines. Some home gym machines, such as the Total Gym, even have the ability for cardiovascular and flexibility training as well. you can read this article at :

Answer 2

All you really need are a set of dumbbells. Free weights are the best for compound motions and working stabilizer muscles. I have no clue how big you are but get a set from 5-50lbs or something similar. Also a bench that can go from decline, to flat, to incline is a must too.

Answer 3

Weights and jump ropes. If your gym is going to be in one place, add punching bags. And get floor mats: Those will save you and your clients a lot of bruises. You might even look at getting some padding that you can wear.

I hesitate to say more, without knowing how much space you're working with.

Good luck!

Answer 5

I would start buying free weights. (adjustable dumbbells, barbells, bench press set)

If you buy one of those things that you have to put together (machines)..you'll be limited to what exercises you can actually do.
You'll be able to perform various exercises with just adjustable dumbbells and barbells.

Free weights allow for more compound movements..which is what you want to gain muscle.
Machines are limited to isolation movements.

Answer 6

tread mill, some free weights, dunbells, bench press, depends how much room you have, and what your interests are, also a punch bag, and a bike.
