By now, we have all found some version of a new normal when it comes to working out at home. With a moratorium on those routine visits to a gym or workout classes over the last year, it’s been the only solution for fitness lovers who want to stay safe and prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
While there’s plenty of equipment-free options for keeping your body moving, a home gym certainly doesn’t mean you need to skimp on the accessories that make you feel like you can tackle all the workouts you want whenever you want. Whether it’s high-tech gadgets, old reliable tools for weight and resistance training or products that help you stay comfortable and maintain good form, there’s a wealth of at-home workout gear for you to build the workout area of your dreams.
