Got your Home Gym Equipment? Then get the Best Home Workout here
More and more, guys are turning to their own home gyms as their place to do all of their workouts. The biggest question however is, what is the best home gym equipment for me in order to get in a great workout at home?
In this video I cover the 4 essential home gym equipment pieces and provide you with options depending on your budget. In fact, you can turn any home gym into the ultimate home gym if you have the right exercise equipment.
It is important to note, that even the best home gym ideas can be impossible if either your space or budget doesn’t allow for them! Would I love to have an indoor turf field to sprint on year round? Sure, but I don’t have the room! Would I like to have an Olympic swimming pool? Yep but probably not the first item on my budget!
So, when I make my recommendations of my 4 favorite pieces of home gym equipment I do so with options to make sure that whatever your budget is, you can make a smart decision.
Heck, I even tell you about our bodyweight only workout ATHLEAN XERO which literally can be done without even a single dumbbell or other piece of home gym equipment. You can find that at if you want to see more details about it.
Meantime, the recommendations in order are…
1. Utility Bench – You’ll see that I picked mine up 20 years ago (and still use it today). You can probably find one of these benches in a tag sale for free, with the owner simply glad to get rid of it!
2. Doorway Pullup Bar – These range from 10 to 30 dollars depending on the brand. Just get a sturdy one that won’t rip apart your door frame!
3. Resistance Band – Any sturdy well made resistance band will do. Get one with the handles on it if you find it easier to grip.
4. Dumbbells (preferably adjustable dumbbells) – Adjustable dumbbells give you the ultimate in home workout freedom. They allow for progressive overload while providing the best in home dumbbell workouts with the right home dumbbell exercises. If your budget is tight, simply head to Walmart and get two or three pairs that are far enough apart to accommodate your varied strength levels on different exercises.
If you have a higher budget and are looking for the ultimate home workout tool then you definitely must check out the new ATHLEAN BLOX at
Dumbbells that you can fit in any home and adjust from 5 to 95 lbs in just seconds at a fraction of the cost of regular dumbbells.

I like my 20, and 30 lb pair of rubber Hex dumbbells. But I also have the regular standard plate dumbbells. a 14 inch handle pair, and 18 inch (I need to get a 16 sometime), and these are spin lock. They work great especially with 1.25 pound little plates for the progression like your talking about. I personally think the rubber Hex is safer. I will look for your Atleen Block if still available, im curious. But yeah I just use my regular standard weights
I need a home gym because all the gyms are closed.

Aren't the IRONMASTER Adjustable Dumbbells significantly better?

I got modular dunbels form decathlon, 2-10kg and only £15
Incredible to see how far is gym has come since 2013 here we are now in 2020 wishing we had dumbbells
This video is in bad need of a remake given the current situation and interest in home gyms
Any tips for the ladies?
For me only thing you need for your home gym with low budget is resistance band set. You can do anything with them and its simple to use. I got my at trainhome shop (check on google) and they have more home workout thing but for me only you need is band set.
I can’t find anything heavy at my house 🙄 so I guess I’m left to buy some shit
I had that exact golds gym pullup bar, the door was too narrow so I turned it into a barbbell
Im gonna say our motivation
Excellent video.
Why so many Trump ads?
Jeff or anybody reading; what stops that pullup bar from pulling the top of the doorway down?
Good advice and good presentation. I haven't watched one of these in awhile.
I bought one of the chin-up bars at a garage sale. Some door frames (or furniture)
won't hold up under the extra stress of exercise or increasing resistance, but
there are usually places to use equipment. Thanks for the video.
1. Door way pullup bar.
2. Recistance bands and resistance handling tubin.
3. Kettlebells.
4.Skipping ropes for cardio..
That would be my cheap top 3 three
I am interested in buying just one question, are these Athleanblocks made in china ?
how bout a totalgym are they any good
Hey Jeff do you have a program you’d recommend to us stuck at home right now due to the corona
I LOVE YOUR CHANNEL. How sincere and honest you are with your advises. Using your videos for home workout during this pandemic here in Pakistan. I was looking for reviews on adjustable dumbells and i am so happy to see you mentioned them. Hope you're making thousands of buck from views on your old videos 😉 You deserve it an !!
Broo today i am going to buy gym equipment for home..
So i was searching on YouTube for best important equipment for home gym.. and your video is seriously a waste of time… Thnx to waste my 8 minutes and 3 second plus this comment
Forget any mistakes Jeff has made. Nobody is perfect. But the way he inspires people to get off their ass is amazing. He's not trying to just make a sale. He's in it in part for the money, just like everyone, but he actually wants to help people
Jeff was about 6 years too early
Does anybody know how long the Athleanx Blox usually takes to restock?
Fantastic video. Thank you
Dumbells and a barbell?
damn, they're sold out
I used a heavy stone to do weight exercises. My mother saw me doing it once yesterday and said that she will get me Dumbbells next month. ＼(^o^)／
or you know if your not concerned with how long it takes to change weights, spinlock plate loaded dumbbells' are an even cheaper alternative
I just use my wife as barbell
Would this video change if made today?
Can i build mass using resistance bands?
I need a way to make a pull up bar or reverse pull up bar in my outside gym.
Hey Jeff. Should I buy an adjustable and a flat bench? Or just buy one of them? Can you recommend one for my home gym?
I am a little bit confused what this vidio for
Old time gym.
Damn. So he's like 38 close to 40 years old and he looks amazing.
All you need is cash, lots of it!
these old videos are so lonely with out jessie, lol
I came to take your advice and purchase your dumbells but they are out of stock. How soon can you get a set to me?!

I can afford 15 or 20 lbs duumbell pair resistence band and for pullups near my house park can do running and pullups enough to start .
my parents won't let me get a pullup bar cause they say it'll break the doorway!!! Sob
Jeff not saying "What's up guy's, Jeff Cavaliere, Athleanx.com" is throwing me off and making it difficult to watch this vid.
Power Tower… I'm thinking of buying a Power Tower. Just something where I can to Pull-up and Dips and have a FULL extension. Is there a current (this is 10/2021) recommendation that you can make? thanks 🙂
Nice gym you have a nice build
