Home Gym Equipment

It depends on your fitness goals. Many people start with basics like a set of dumbbells, resistance bands, a treadmill or stationary bike, and a workout mat. If you have specific goals like strength training or weight loss, you may want to add a bench, squat rack, or cardio machine.

You don’t need a huge space — even a small spare room, basement corner, or garage can work. Plan for at least 50–100 square feet for basic setups. Larger equipment like power racks or treadmills may require 150+ square feet for comfortable use.

Consider your fitness goals and preferences. Treadmills are great for runners, exercise bikes are lower-impact on joints, and ellipticals offer a full-body workout. Look for machines that fit your space, budget, and include features you’ll actually use, like heart rate monitoring or built-in workouts.

Commercial equipment is built for heavy, continuous use in public gyms and is often larger and more expensive. Home gym equipment is designed for personal use, often more compact, and built to balance durability with affordability and space-saving features.

If you plan to use your home gym regularly, higher-end equipment can be a great investment. It typically offers better durability, more features, and a longer lifespan — saving you money and frustration in the long run.

Regular maintenance is key to extending the life of your equipment. Wipe down machines after use, lubricate moving parts as recommended by the manufacturer, tighten bolts periodically, and keep the space clean and dust-free.

Yes, many retailers (including Alpha Omega Fitness) offer financing options, allowing you to spread payments over time. Be sure to check for promotions, interest rates, and payment plans that fit your budget.

Measure your available space carefully, including ceiling height if you're buying machines like treadmills or lifting rigs. Always check product dimensions before purchasing and leave extra room for safe movement around the equipment.
