Which home gym equipment is good
When you look for gym equipment for your home go for the quality. You will only need one piece of each that will last for years to come. To see whether the equipment is good, check out the following trademarks.
Metal
Where it is appropriate, check whether the vendor used stainless steel or an equivalent. Just gym equipment is supposed to be hard to move so if you read materials like plastic or Aluminium check whether this is with the intent for better moveability. If it is made of a material that clearly was used with the only intent to save cost, try to stay away from it.
Heavy
If you put your full body weight on it you want it to be relatively heavy. Anything that is light enough to be quickly moved under a bed will break. You might as well get a good pair of runners for cardio instead or a Jump rope for indoors.
Good quality
If you buy something for your home gym check the reviews. If people talk about it in. a sense „good quality, high price“ it is probably worthwhile. If the feedback goes along the lines of „does the job for a good price“ it’s ok but you might want to stay away from it.
Good points to check quality are:
-
Seams
-
Friction points
-
Welds
-
Color
All of these are finishing touches and lower quality machines will show signs of scratches, inconsistencies or cheap material.
Single-purpose
Material which is single-purpose and stays the same is usually of higher quality. As soon as you have a „transformer“ piece of equipment it is more prone to error.
