There are 4 essential pieces of home gym equipment you need to get up and running:

• Barbells
• Power racks (also called squat racks)
• Benches
• Weight plates

As soon as you have these 4 items you can do the majority of exercises in your home gym. We like to use the 80/20 rule for most things in life and these are the 20% of equipment that will bring you 80% of the results (maybe even more!) 

Get the basics right first. 

This page will help you choose the best home gym essentials for you based on your budget and ability.
