1. Treadmill

Cardio is essential to a full body workout and also in maintaining good heart health. Having a Treadmill is an essential for a quality home gym. You should always have a balance between cardio and strength training workouts. Having a treadmill is simple way of getting your cardio in before your strength training or vice versa. And its statistically proven that you burn almost 5x more calories per hour than bike, swimming or jumping rope. Whether it's for a warm ups, burn outs or cool downs; simply being able to run off calories at moments notice is a real convenience in the long run.

2. Kettle Bells

If you want an implement for an all-around workout, you're going to want at least one kettlebell. From goblet squats to swings, you can get a ton of work in within a limited amount of space. This soft-yet-powerful one is even safe for your home floors if you drop it.

3. Medicine Ball

Strength and conditioning as well as HIIT training has become very popular in the last couple of decades and for good reason. The equipment requirements are fewer as well as lots of effective exercises to choose from. Among those tools and Equipment are Medicine balls. Varying in different weights and sizes its a must have for your at home versatile training. From Athletes to Fitness Moms, medicine balls are pretty much must have for your home gym

4. Plyo Boxes

This Segways into the next essential for your home gym and that is a plyo box. Perfect for lower body training without weights. You can couple these with the medicine ball for a more intense workout!

5.  Power Cage

 

 

If you are looking to up your weight game than having a Power Cage is essential. There are plenty of different styles and versions out there but the main reason this was on our team was the pure functionality in most of these Power cages ( and the ability to add on later ). This is why our team chose to leave a Squat racks off this list. if your in the market for a squat rack; your better off just getting a reasonably price Power Cage. you have all the main functions of a squat rack plus more! From performing weighted squats, pull ups, dips, leg raises, etc.. most Power Cages are exactly that;  "A Cage to build  Power"..

6. Power Tower

Even though we didn't put Squat Racks on the List does not mean that Power Towers are not. Like the Power Cage the are highly functional and versatile. for pullups, chinups, dips, and all the other exercises you can pull off from a hanging position. Should support up to 400 pounds. 

 

7. Adjustable Bench

This goes without saying but you can really bench press without a bench let alone other exercises. Which is why having a versatile adjustable bench is another essential

 

8. Barbell & Plates

Again, it will be rather difficult to perform bench presses, squats, dead lifts etc without a barbell and some plates. So they will most definitely come in handy. ( Hint: Bench press, Squats, and dead lifts are foundational strength training workouts that increase power and explosion) .

 

9. Massage Gun

 

Speed up your Recovery in between workouts through muscle stimulation. Having a massage gun will help with just that.

 

 

10. Heavy Bag

If outdoor cardio isn’t your thing, this heavy punching bag is a great alternative for incinerating fat while building explosive power and speed. With the included gloves and wraps, you’ll be ready to rumble right away.

 

11. Stationary Bike

Get your cardio in with a low impact workout with a stationary bike. great warm ups and physical therapy.  Having a stationary is another great addition to your home gym.

 

12. Vibrating Foam Roller

Speaking of therapy, it's also good to talk about injury prevention. having a vibrating foam roller for the beginning and end of your workouts will go along way.

 

13. Resistance Bands

Having a set of a resistance bands nowadays is a must for any gym. They're versatility and functionality makes it why we feel every home gym should be equipped with them. if they're good enough fro pro athletes then they're good enough for me.

 

14. Yoga Ball

Besides developing good overall muscle tone for your entire body, the ball provides numerous other benefits that range anywhere from rehabilitating back, hip, and knee injuries to delivering a powerful workout to improve core stability, posture, and muscle balance. You also improve your flexibility and your cardiovascular system by using a low-impact workout.
