Get a home gym! Which fitness machines do you need?

Measure twice before you buy

First, make sure that you have enough space for working out and storing all the essentials. Before buying any machine or fitness equipment, measure the space and compare the numbers with the product details. The last piece of advice concerns the need to ensure a sufficient supply of oxygen in the home gym. Be sure not to exercise in an area with no windows or at least basic ventilation.

How to choose?

Do you want to keep yourself healthy, fit and lose weight, or do you aspire to build muscle mass? Before the actual purchase, think about the reasons and purpose of exercising at home. After thorough analysis and goal setting, you can start looking for the right equipment, machines and accessories.

MUZIKER TIP:
The best exercise equipment has compact dimensions, engages several muscle groups at once, and is easy to use.

Exercising with your own weight

If you decide to exercise with your own weight, no dumbbells or heavy and impractical machines are necessary. However, you will need a mat, which will give you stability and a sufficient amount of suspension. The Adidas Fitness Mat is 7 mm thick and produced in different colours. The mat is very pleasant to the touch, effectively absorbs shocks and is gentle on the joints. You can easily pack it away after the workout and clean it easy.

Reebok Power Tube Multi is a set of resistance bands with handles. They provide perfect grip, so you can perform exercises at home as if you were lifting weights in the gym. You can easily regulate the resistance (difficulty) during exercise by connecting or disconnecting individual bands. 

The HMS exercise wheel differs in many ways from more expensive, yet ordinary wheels. It has a particularly shaped handle and is equipped with a return spring that allows an easier return to the starting position of the exercise. The wheel is perfect for exercising your abdominal muscles, back, shoulders and chest.

Try the gym bar

An excellent alternative to floor workout is hanging exercises. Is it even possible at home? The answer is the Adidas Door Gym 2 in 1 bar. This pull up bar can be easily mounted on the door frame. Minimal damage to the frame is ensured by a rail equipped with foam door protectors. In total, up to three different grip positions can be used during the exercise. It will help you build strength in your back, biceps and triceps. 

Suspension Trainer Pro is a suspension system known as TRX. It is suitable for exercising the muscles of the upper body and legs. Since it is easy to use, it is extremely popular, especially among fans of functional training. The straps can be adjusted as needed. At the beginning, however, it is necessary to find a suitable place for anchoring.

Weights for strength training

When exercising with your own weight, after a while you will hit your limits and need more. The solution is using different types of weights that will make the workout more strenuous – the muscles will grow faster, and the weight loss will be much more effective.

Not everyone wants to store heavy and sometimes dangerous dumbbells or weight plates at home. That's why we have a wide range of sandbags available in our e-shop.

Choose the sandbag according to your requirements and possibilities – we recommend the Sidea Si-Sand Bag 15 kg, which has different grips all over the surface (up to 8 in total), so it can be used in many strength exercises and replaces both a large and a small dumbbell. Thanks to its softness, it does not pose a risk to other household members. 

The Sveltus Functional Bag is specifically shaped to be easily placed on your shoulders. Two handles ensure absolute stability, so you can fully concentrate on the exercises. This type is suitable for squats, lunges or even explosive sprints.

In case you decide to equip your home gym with traditional dumbbells and weights, the HMS SGP30 set with replaceable weights is designed exactly for you. The total weight is 30 kg and the set includes 1 coupling part, 2 one-handed bars, 4 clams and a total of 16 different weight plates.

You can put together 2 one arm dumbbells or one large dumbbell. The plastic coating of the plates helps increase safety. Models of 15 kg, 20 kg or 40 kg are also available. 

The weight training bench will be necessary if you lift weights, but you will also use it for exercises with your own weight. Reebok Deck is a unique bench that has up to three basic position settings – incline, flat, decline. It can also be used for elevated lunges or push-ups, there are many possibilities. This versatile device can also double as storage for fitness equipment. If you are serious about home exercise, definitely do not hesitate to buy this bench.

Home cardio

Cardio training at home is usually performed using machines – treadmills, stationary bicycles, steppers and others. We have selected the most effective equipment which will get your blood pumping at home even in case of bad weather or other restrictions.

Out of all the stationary bikes, there is one that stands out. It can't be missing in anyone's home gym. It is HMS Air Bike. What makes it so special? At first glance, it does not differ from any other stationary bike, but upon closer examination, you will notice that it has two movable handles.

During "cycling" not only the lower body is working, but also the muscles of the upper body are involved. That's why this is the perfect cardio machine. Air Bike does not strain the joints and has different adjustable intensity levels. As an added bonus, the Air Bike will effectively ventilate the space you are exercising in.

MUZIKER TIP: If you have enough space at home, you love to run, but the weather outside is far from ideal, a treadmill will become your favourite machine. Although there is nothing better than sports in the fresh air, just walking for a few tens of minutes a day will help you regenerate not only your body, but also your mind.

Rowing machine is another amazing and complex home cardio machine. Rowing really works the whole body, so go for the Adidas R-21. It does not require mains power, so you can easily place it anywhere. It has a clear LCD display with all training data, which works with the included chest strap and provides accurate heart rate data. The fitness app will further expand the possibilities of training.
