Kettlebells
Kettlebells are indispensable when it comes to getting fit, strong and lean. They are one of the most versatile and effective pieces of equipment in the gym, however you don't need to be in the gym to use them! Kettlebells are a must for everyone looking for the best home gym equipment, however just like a lot of exercise equipment, they don't all come equal.
Kettlebells come in a variety of shapes, sizes and materials. The most durable (and nicest looking) are the cast iron type. Avoid vinyl kettlebells as they can become awkward to use, especially at heavier weights.
Wolverson Fitness (UK) provide excellent quality kettlebells that will last your home gym a lifetime. If you are US based, Rogue are another excellent brand with unrivalled equipment quality.
If you are just starting out, I'd recommend a 4kg, 8kg and 12kg kettlebell. Or if you are a more experienced lifter, 12kg, 16kg and 20kg will make a provide an effective option for home gym equipment. For more information about kettlebells, their benefits and how to best use them; click here.
GymProLuxe Resistance Bands
Resistance bands have been used for home gym exercise for a long time, however GymProLuxe have completely changed the game. Their equipment takes resistance band exercise to a whole new level. With resistances of up to 90kg, they can be extremely effective for both the beginner and advanced lifter.
The complete home gym exercise set comes with a padded exercise belt, detachable bar, high quality bands & other attachments. The all-in-one portable home gym equipment means that exercises such as bench press and barbell rows are no longer exclusive to the commercial gym environment and can now be performed at home.

Adjustable Dumbbells
We all know about dumbbells and their popularity in the gym setting. The issue with using them as home gym equipment is that they take up a lot of space. A full set of dumbbells can quite easily take up the whole room (not to mention the impracticality of getting them there in the first place). Luckily, we have another option- adjustable dumbbells.
With just a turn of a knob, you can have resistances from 2.5kg all the way up to 40kg - They are the perfect home gym equipment taking up the same size space as a pair of (large) shoes.
BowFlex provide the best quality adjustable dummbells for your home gym and I would definitely recommend paying slightly more for these over other brands- The difference in quality and durability is worth every penny.
