The essential kit (that you’ll actually use) to reach and maintain your fitness goals
Often it’s the getting to the gym that means a workout doesn’t happen. You might be energised and keen to exercise, but if it’s late/dark/icy/you’re in charge of the kids, you can forget about it. But now it’s easier than ever to create your own fitness sanctuary (and eschew expensive membership) with the latest home-gym equipment. Sleek, technologically advanced designs mean you don’t need lots of space, plus you can workout smarter by fitting your fitness goals into your schedule.
1. Essentials for small spaces
If you’re short on space you can still think big. Versatile adjustable weights, such as dumbbells and kettlebells, wrist or ankle weights, which make every workout more challenging, super-affordable and portable resistance bands, plus an exercise or yoga mat for floor work.
2. Strength builders for dedicated corners
A weight bench can transform your free weights into a chest press, shoulder press or ab work. Forget bulky kit that takes over the spare room/garage/study; the latest compact training systems, such as the NOHRD Sling, give a full-body workout while taking up next to no room.

3. Cardio powerhouse
If you have the space, invest in tech that brings your favourite gym workout to you. From exercise bikes with on-demand classes, leaderboards and community, to treadmills with incline and high motor horsepower. For lower-impact benefits try a cross trainer or rowing machine.
4. Maximise your workout
The celeb-favourite WHOOP band is a 24/7 health-tracking wearable that provides continuous, expert insights, or try a smart ring which is worn on your finger. Proper rest and recovery is vital to every fitness plan, and Therabody massagers can give deep, targeted treatment. If you’ve got outdoor space, a Lumi Therapy ice bath is the gold standard for easing muscle pain to help recovery.
