I mean lets be real, if you’re not investing in a gym membership, you should be investing that money into a home gym that will make you love your workouts!

Essential Home Gym Equipment:

Squat Rack: My favorite piece in any home gym is the squat rack. It’s so versatile as you can do so many different big compound exercises such as:
- pull up
- barbell back squat
- barbell deadlift
- barbell bench press
- parallel bar dips

The squat rack that I invested in also came with parallel dip bars. And don’t worry, it’s not as big as it may appear. But make sure you measure twice just to be sure.

Olympic weight and barbell set: In my home gym I had 300 pounds worth of plates, which was an excellent amount of weight to fulfill the requirements for most exercises.

The set I bought came with a 7 foot olympic barbell to use for squats, deadlifts, lunges, and presses. It also comes with two clips to keep the weights on the bar. Very worthwhile and affordable.

Dumbbell Set with Rack: I have a couple options when it comes to dumbbells. The type of dumbbell set that I invested in included dumbbells from 5-50 lbs. Although, 50 lbs isn’t quite heavy enough for me, it can be a good amount of weight for most people.

Also, to maximize the space of your home gym, and keep it organized, don’t forget about the rack.

If your home gym set up space is limited, another dumbbell set option are Powerblocks. These are adjustable dumbbells using pins. This dumbbell set takes up much less space, while still giving you plenty of dumbbell weight options for your workouts.

Incline, Flat, and Decline Bench: Not only is this bench super affordable, it is also very versatile. Rather than having to buy a flat bench, an incline bench, and a decline bench, the bench attached below is a 3 in 1. That way you can hit your muscles from all different angles during your home workout.

Jump Rope: one of my favorite types of home cardio workouts is with the jump rope. Not only is it affordable, but it’s an excellent form of cardio that doesn’t take up any space.

The home gym equipment listed above are, in my opinion, the essentials for any home gym.

Below, I’m listing the nice-to-have’s for home gym equipment.

Nice-To-Have Home Gym Equipment:
Assault Air Bike
Kettlebell 
Ab Straps
Equalizer Bars
Music Player: Amazon Echo 
LED TV with Articulating Wall Mount
Body Fat Analyzer
Speed Bag and Mounted Platform
Heavy Bag, Gloves, and Wraps
Medicine Balls
Bosu Balls
Swiss Balls
Foam Roller
Exercise Mats
TRX Suspension Trainer

Before I sold my home gym equipment (because I moved to California), these were the pieces that I had in my training studio.
