If you are planning to invest in a home gym, you should be very careful in selecting the right kind of gym equipment as the market is flooded with way too many.

To start with, figure what kind of home gym equipment you might need. It should ideally include:

Bodyweight resistance equipment
This involves opposing force that contracts and strengthens your muscles. This kind of training uses our own body weight as resistance, thereby increasing the strength of the muscle. The best part is that this type of home gym equipment is largely budget-friendly and also takes up little space at home.

Weight equipment
It is a type of resistance training but is quite different from the bodyweight resistance training. This training helps to build more lean muscle mass, which is responsible for giving you a sculpted appearance. They are budget-friendly and occupy relatively less space when compared to machines.

Cardio equipment
It is the inevitable part of a workout program and there is no point in having a home gym without any cardio equipment. Jogging, running, high-intensity interval training, and jumping rope are some of the examples of cardiovascular exercises. While they do occupy a fair amount of space, the recent ones in the market come with a foldable option.

Having established the must-haves, mentioned below are some top brand equipment for a home gym:
