Let’s be real: Home gyms are not going away. If anything, with a looming uncertain global pandemic still on our hands, they are only trending further.

 

Nowadays, the home can be a place where you relax, work, and work out. Because the required 30 minutes of moderate physical activity can be done at a gym or in your home, more and more people are updating their current machines. But because money doesn’t grow on trees, you might be wondering if these expensive home gym systems are even worth the price.

 

To start with, yes they are expensive. But they give us the convenience of hitting our 30 minutes of exercise a day, at our own time. Ahead, we share 5 of the most amazing full-body gym equipment (that are often on sale) to help you work out at home. Plus, all 5 of them have payment options making it not too drastic of an upfront financial commitment. A win, win.

 

MYX Fitness II Plus

The only bike on our list is often listed as $300 off for most major holidays (we recommend waiting until then so you don’t pay the full $1,599 price tag).

It also comes with a tablet, six-piece set of weights with kettlebell, a stabilizer mat, an exercise mat, a foam roller, and a resistance band. Hello full package.
