Building a home gym does not require every machine. The original checklist focuses on versatile basics:
- Urethane dumbbell weight set
- Exercise ball for balance, core and pressing work
- Air bike for low-impact conditioning
- Wooden jerk box for jerk, partial lift and plyometric training
- Muscle roller stick for warm-up and post-training soreness
- Resistance bands and tubes for portable full-body work
- Exercise mat for floor exercises and stretching
- Kettlebell, medicine ball and bench options as the space and programme require
The right selection depends on training goals, available space and the movements you can perform safely and consistently.
