Investing in your home gym has never made more sense than in 2020. With many gyms closed due to the Coronavirus pandemic, building up your home workout setup can help you make the most of the situation. This guy created the ultimate budget gym inside of an old shed in his backyard. And this weightlifter converted his garage into the ultimate home gym. And this guy built his own half-rack out of lumber. And this guy built his entire home gym out of real wood. (Yep, that's a thing.)
From adjustable dumbbells, rowing machines, power racks, indoor exercise bikes, elliptical machines, kettlebells, punching bags, and barbells, we've done the research to help you have the optimal setup. Plus, these 42 pieces of gym equipment are guaranteed to complete any home gym setup. But another piece of gym equipment that is crucial to have in your setup is a weight bench.
Not only is it versatile for weight lifting, but you can use it for cross-training with cardio, CrossFit, or bodyweight work. And of course, having a bench at your disposal can help you have a stable place to press, fly, and curl. Whatever your fitness goals are, a weight bench can help you achieve them.
