10 Best At Home Fitness Equipment UK 2024

Though not as cheap as some other bits of kit on the list, a kettlebell really is all you need to have effective workouts at home, no matter your ability. This particular brand is gym standard, so you know it is going to be good quality.

A kettlebell can be used to work every part of your body whether that be as part of a strength or a cardio routine. You'll be sure so get strong and sweaty with one of these, and it is small enough to store discreetly after using it. 

If you really want to feel the burn, resistance bands will become your new best friend. They are simple in design and easy to use.  By just putting them around your legs doing a few different movements to create some opposing force, you have a strengthening workout without the need for dumbells.

Within the set, there is the choice of a light, a medium or a heavy band, so you can select the right one depending on how experienced you are or which movement you're doing. You can use them as a warm up or as the main event, and they easily pack away in a bag. 

These TRX hanging ropes can be found in gyms everywhere and now you can get them for your home. They're ideal for home use as they encourage you to use your body weight, which also means you can make your challenges as hard – or as easy – as you would like them to be, depending on your level. 

The straps come ready to go, but they do require a bit of installation as they need somewhere to hang, normally from a wall or ceiling. Once you have them set up, though, they are very easy to adjust and can be used to target your whole body. It also comes with a workout guide and app to inspire you and get you started!

A yoga mat is an absolute must for home fitness devotees. Despite the fact that this mat (as the name suggests) was designed with yoga in mind, it is by no means limited to this form of exercise. 

You'll find a yoga mat is useful for a whole host of other activities, whether that be stretching, core work, or a high intensity workout. This particular mat is nicely cushioned, but not so much that you sink in, and it's made from non-toxic, eco-friendly TPE that's free from latex and PVC.

This cleverly-shaped exercise bike is much cheaper than others on the market but is still sure to provide you with a good workout thanks to its variable resistances. It also has a handlebar display to show your time, speed, distance and calories burned to monitor your progress.  

Although this bike is on the big side compared to some other home fitness equipment, it does fold away neatly and has wheels, which make it easy to put to one side when you are not peddling away or even to use outside. 

Skipping doesn't have to be limited to a school playground pursuit. As boxers have known for years, skipping gives you an intense all-round cardio workout whilst being still entertaining. 

It doesn't get more basic than skipping as far as exercise is concerned, meaning all abilities and ages can take part. This rope is also an extremely affordable way of adding some excitement to your daily routine, so whilst you might break a sweat, you won't break the bank. 

If you have a doorway, then you have space for this pull up bar. There are no screws involved which make this piece of equipment extremely easy to set up. It is adjustable too, so if you need to change it slightly for your doorway, you can. 

The pull up is quite an advanced exercise so might take some training to get there, but luckily this bar also offers the option of doing different exercises on the floor, providing a bit more versatility. If you would like to mix it up, it comes with a handy book to explain all the possibilities. 

This killer bit of kit works your abs hard. It is quite an advanced workout tool, not suited to those who are just starting out, but if you are experienced and feel you could do with finding another core exercise this provides a real challenge. 

It also comes with a mat for your knees – helpful if you're going to be working out on a hard or uncomfortable surface at home or in the garden. The wheel itself is also made with comfort in mind, with foam on the handles to support you as you roll. 

Gym balls (also known as Swiss balls) add a little bit of fun to a workout, but can still be very challenging when they need to be. They can be used in a number of ways, helping to improve balance and strength simultaneously. 

Conveniently, this gym ball comes with a pump so you can inflate it and get going immediately. It is made to be extra strong, holding up to 200 kg, so should also be able to take some wear and tear. 

This fairly simple piece of kit works to provide gentle resistance in your strengthening routines by using opposing forces, normally the two sides of the body working against each other. It can tone legs, upper arms, chest and thighs and is very portable.

Although not limited in where it can tone, it is quite limited in what you can do with it and can only be used for quite specific movements.
