You don’t need to join an expensive gym to keep your fitness resolutions in the New Year. If you have a few square feet to play with, you don’t even need to leave your home.
Whether you’re working with an expansive basement or a converted closet, with the fitness equipment on this list you can get in great shape on your own turf.
HEAVY BAG KIT
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.
TRX SUSPENSION TRAINING KIT
There’s a reason half the gyms in America now stock some version of this suspension training system: It’s the ultimate body-weight workout. You’ll also save a ton of valuable floor space.
POWER REELS
A cross between resistance bands and dumbbells, Power Reels provide constant resistance, forcing your muscles to spend more time under tension—a central tenant of muscle building.
BALANCE TRAINER
Turbocharge almost any exercise by incorporating this balance-challenging machine into your routine. You’ll better activate your core while firing up all those in-between stabilization muscles most workouts neglect.
AIR ROWER
Warm up your body before a workout with this whole-body rowing machine. Or max out the resistance to bulk up your back, shoulders, and arms.
MEDICINE BALL
This classic medicine ball features a durable, textured rubber shell for improved grip. It also has modest bounce for ball workouts that require it.

BOWFLEX HOME GYM
