My husband and I always dreamt of having our own little home gym. A few years ago , during pandemic, we decided to add a room to our home for exactly that, a gym! The space is not too big so we had to be smart on what exactly we were going to be bringing in as far as equipment and a few must haves. I want to share some of them with you and tell you why I loved them so much!

A treadmill
I believe we all need a treadmill at home. It helps you get your steps in when you can’t go outside and the incline feature really works wonders! After a bit of research, I had found the perfect treadmill! I was looking for an incline treadmill that was easy to handle and foldable, just in case I had to use that space for something else. I read so many reviews and watched videos on how this treadmill preformed. I also saw videos where taller men were using it, which meant it wasn’t too small and it was sturdy enough. At the same time, I loved how compact it was. I only had a small area available for it so I definitely needed one that did not take so much space. I totally recommend checking it out if you are looking for the perfect little treadmill! I will be leaving the link below.
A Pilates Reformer
If you follow me on instagram you will know I’m absolutely in love with Pilates. I went to a Pilates Studio for a little over a year. I learned so much there and fell in love with how Pilates changed my body and how it made me feel. I decided to buy a reformer to add to my home gym and it was the best thing I could’ve done! Other than saving me money and time, this Pilates Reformer is everything the studio one is and just the right size I needed for our small area. It came with so many goodies, including a Cardio Rebounder attachment and a full guide for beginners. I’ll leave the link bellow so you can check out the rest of the goodies it included. I was so pleased at how complete this reformer was. If you have been thinking of exploring Pilates and giving it a chance I recommend you go take a thirty minute intro class and if you love it, ether enroll into a program or save yourself some money and time and try this reformer at home for all your Pilates needs! You will not regret it!
Bala Bangles
If you already do some at home workouts and you love it, im sure you know of a few other things you can be using that will definitely elevate your experience. For example, I can not live without my Bala Bangles, they are adjustable wrist or ankle weights that are seamless, soft and made of such good quality. They are so easy to use, I personally use them a lot while doing Pilates or floor workouts. You will love them, they are definitely worth it!
A Good Mat
Let’s talk about mats! Stretching sessions, Pilates workouts and a lot more can be done on a mat but let me tell you, not any mat! As someone that is very sensitive on the knees and lower back, I HAVE to share with you all my absolute favorite, plushy, beautiful and good quality mat! Blogilates it is! She has some gorgeous designs. I often get asked where I got my mat and this is it guys, Il leave the link to mine down below again.
I hope this helps and you get to enjoy some of these at home gym must haves if you haven’t already. And let me know over on Instagram if you did!
