Reviewers share the only gear you need for the ultimate home gym setup

This top-rated recumbent bike is especially suitable for beginners. “Does this bike have all the bells and whistles you’d find at a gym? Of course it doesn’t,” points out one reviewer. “Is this the end of the job? I’m sure it is.”

This bike fits into tight spaces, so even people who live in apartments can ride it easily. One reviewer wrote, “I’m so glad this was my choice.” “I’m a 72-year-old young woman, and I was able to put it together myself.”

This colorful set of 6 weights is perfect for yoga, cycling, and other exercises. “These little dumbbells are perfect for those specific painful and diabolical exercises assigned to you by your rehabilitation trainer,” says one reviewer. “This is perfect for home use.”

Another Bowflex option, this adjustable kettlebell replaces the need for sets in the 8-40 pound range. It has an impressive average rating of 4.8 stars on Amazon, with reviewers praising its durability and space-saving design. “It’s best to adjust the weight,” said one shopper. “Put in the weight, turn the dial with a smooth click sound at each position, and pull out the weight.I can’t imagine it going any faster than this, and the solid feel is of high quality.Other parts are also of high quality.”

Most of the stands that come with dumbbell sets (if they come with one) are flimsy, so if you’re focused on strength training, you’ll probably need to provide your own weight rack. This top-rated option looks like it came straight out of an old gym’s weight room. “Easy to assemble and takes less than 30 minutes,” writes an Amazon reviewer. “The dumbbells are off the floor, so they’re a nice addition to your workout space. If I needed more storage, I’d definitely buy another set of dumbbells.”

If you really want to feel like you’re back at the gym, invest in a commercial-quality treadmill from the trusted brand NordicTrack. It features trainer-designed workouts, a 16-inch touchscreen, a silent design, and automatic intensity adjustment. “If you’re looking for extra content or a guided run or walk, the 1750 could be exactly what you’re looking for. All the iFit extras make this machine great,” added one 5-star customer.

This affordable, space-saving treadmill doesn’t have a flashy screen or a lot of space, but it does have all the essentials like a digital monitor, device holder, pulse sensor, and easy-to-use controls. “I’ve been using this for a few months now and I love it! I was looking for a small treadmill that actually folds up and out of the way. I’m 5’1 and run several times a week. It moves smoothly, works well, and inclines well. It’s very solid. I also love using the SunnyFit app to connect to the treadmill’s Bluetooth and track my workouts,” explains one Amazon reviewer.

This small treadmill is perfect for small spaces or home offices, helping you get more exercise without facing bad weather. “Honestly, I’m really impressed with this walking pad. It’s very sleek, quiet, and perfect for everyday life. I’ve been using it while working from home and it’s made staying active so much easier,” one customer wrote.

This five-band set has earned a solid 4.5 stars from over 135,000 reviews on Amazon, making it one of the most popular sets available anywhere. This pack ranges from light to heavy resistance and is perfect for athletes of all experience levels. “Simple but effective. You can pack this anywhere and use it as a mini-gym wherever you go,” said one Amazon shopper. “With a little creativity, you can add resistance to almost any exercise. I use it for stretches, face pulls, bicep curls, and even squats.”

This resistance band set resembles the equipment you’re used to at the gym. With the included handles, straps, and anchors, you can work everything from your triceps to your knees.

TRX’s resistance set has everything you need for high-impact training anywhere using only your own body weight. One reviewer wrote, “Provides an amazing workout and doesn’t take up much space.”

If you haven’t turned into someone with a pull-up bar in your doorway for the past two years, it’s time to make the switch. This bar has 4.5 stars out of over 24,000 ratings, meaning it’s worth your investment.

Skip soaking from the side of the couch and instead order this sturdy station that promotes dozens of full-body exercises. One buyer praised it, saying, “Please buy it.” “You won’t be disappointed.”

“You probably won’t find anything better at this price with high quality,” one Amazon reviewer says of this top-rated stand. Bonus: It can withstand loads up to 805 pounds.

Complete your pull-ups and dips in one place with this gym-style station. “It was very easy to assemble,” one reviewer wrote, noting that the height is easy to adjust for multiple users.

These cages are perfect for replacing many gym perks. You’ll have the space (completely to yourself, of course) to engage in controlled barbell strength training. This esteemed option is a splurge, but it’ll also take your home gym to the next level. “This is a great addition to your home gym, offers a huge variety of exercises and is great value for money,” concluded one reviewer.
