Level One: Starting Your Fitness Journey at Home

Whether you’re just beginning your fitness journey, looking to train at home on a budget, or need a simple gym set up that you can travel with, this level one setup has you covered. Most of this equipment can be found here with a few exceptions that I’ve noted below.

  1. TRX
    A suspension trainer is perfect for hundreds of high-quality movements, including stretching. It’s even great for pull-ups when traveling. I use this suspension trainer because it’s lightweight and easy to travel with.
  2. Monster Mini Bands
    These are versatile, cost-effective, and offer endless exercise options. Note this is different than just having the tubing set below.
  3. Exercise Ball
    Add diversity to your movements and use it as a makeshift bench.
  4. Tubing Set
    Provides a variety of resistance levels without the need for a full dumbbell rack.
  5. Kettlebells
    In my videos, I demonstrate fantastic workouts using just a couple of kettlebells.
    • Women new to weights: 10 and 18 pounds.
    • Men new to weights: 18 and 26 pounds.
  6. Yoga Mat
    Essential for floor work and comfort during workouts.
  7. Mace & Steel Club
    I use these ones from ONNIT.

Level Two: Expanding Your Home Gym

If you’re ready to add more diversity without taking up much space, here’s your next step:

  1. Push-Up Bars
    Great for push-ups, back dips, and ab work.
  2. Pull-Up Bar
    Easy to mount and adds one of the most transformative exercises to your routine.
  3. Rings
    Similar to the TRX but with a better feel for your hands.
  4. Kettlebells
    Expand your set to four bells:
    • Women: 10, 18, 26, and 34 pounds.
    • Men: 18, 26, 34, and 45 pounds.
  5. Ab Wheel
    A classic for abs, lats, and upper body work.
  6. Medicine Ball
    If you pick just one, go with a 10-pounder.
  7. Dumbbells
    A rack ranging from 5 to 40 pounds is a great foundation.
  8. Landmine
    One of the most powerful and versatile tools.
  9. Bosu Ball
    Perfect for ab work, balance, and rehab exercises.

    Provides safety and stability for heavy lifting.
  2. Bench
    Essential for a variety of strength exercises.
  3. 300# Set
    A complete weight set for serious strength training.
  4. Dumbbell Rack
    From 5 to 60 pounds for a full range of exercises.
  5. Landmine
    This tool is too versatile not to mention twice.
  6. EZ Curl Bar
    Ideal for bicep and tricep-specific movements.
  7. 15# Training Bar
    A beginner-friendly or Olympic lifting training bar.
