As a Charlotte Personal Trainer – with a women’s only studio! – one of the most frequently asked questions we are currently getting is, “What do I need for my home gym?”
That all depends on how much you want to spend. We’ve made this list of best buys in ascending order of price.
All of these take up minimal space and give you a lot of versatility. Ours fits in the linen closet.
For contrast: a decent home treadmill will cost at least $800, and a Peleton bike will cost $2,000 + monthly membership.

➡️ Listed in increasing order of price:
1.True 180 home kit – included for any active member!
2. Stability ball – $25
3. Foam roller – $15+
4. Adjustable dumbbell set (or, for fixed dumbbells 15-20-25 or 20-25-30) – $2-3/pound
5. Kettlebell (12 and/or 16kilo, 20-24kilo) – $4-5/kilo
6. 12” step – $125
7. Suspension trainer (TRX are very nice, but also $2-400, and there are other options available for closer to $100 that are totally fine for home use) – $100-400
Odds and ends:
1. (Need extra band resistance?) 1” super band (our kit includes 1/2”, and you might need more resistance) – $20
2. (Need help anchoring your band or suspension trainer/TRX to a door?) door anchors
3. (Want a more comfortable grip for bands?) handle + clip to attach
4. (Do your knees need something more comfortable than your couch cushions?) Thera-Band
Happy Fitness!
