Stay-at-home mandates during COVID-19 and the closure of non-essential businesses have kept most people away from gyms and fitness centers. Many regular gym-goers turned to workouts inside the home to maintain their health and fitness.
Due to space and equipment limitations, many at-home workouts focus on bodyweight exercises — things like lunges, squats and sit-ups that require nothing more than you.
“Bodyweight exercise is a good option because it’s free and you can do it anywhere,” explains Sarah Grooms, a personal trainer in New York City for Obé Fitness on demand. “I’m a firm believer that bodyweight exercises help build a strong foundation and a solid core before adding any equipment.”
While bodyweight workouts are great, you may want to buy an exercise bike, treadmill or similar piece of equipment to augment them. Why? To prevent boredom and increase intensity. “Equipment will greatly help level up your at-home workout,” say Liz Van Voorhis, founder and CEO of Fit Collective in New York City.
Here are some must-have exercise equipment options to create the ideal home gym.
