Buy a Home Gym – Complete Equipment for Your Home Studio

All you need to know.

Home Gym FAQs.

A home gym is a private training environment where you can perform various exercises for strength, endurance, and flexibility – all without a gym membership. It typically includes several fitness machines and accessories to enable varied and complete training. The goal is to achieve maximum effectiveness with as little space as possible. Whether in the basement or in the garage – with the right products, almost any room can be transformed into a professional fitness studio.

  1. Time-saving & Flexibility: No travel time, no waiting for equipment. You train when and how it fits into your daily routine – even spontaneously.
  2. Long-term cost savings: The initial investment quickly pays for itself – no monthly fees, no travel costs, no waiting lists.
  3. Privacy & Comfort: You train in a familiar environment, without outside glances, with your music, your pace, and your equipment.
  4. Hygiene & Safety: All equipment is only used by you (and possibly your family) – you determine the standard of cleanliness.
  5. Individual Equipment: Instead of predetermined machines in a gym, you choose exactly the tools that suit your training goals.

Yes – a home workout can be just as effective as training in a gym if you pay attention to proper planning and execution. The basic requirements:

  1. A well-thought-out training plan
  2. High-quality equipment for targeted strength and endurance training
  3. Consistency and motivation

With equipment such as a rowing machine, ski trainer, or a multi-gym, all muscle groups can be trained efficiently – from functional full-body training to targeted muscle building. Studies also show that people with a home gym train more frequently because they don't have to overcome any logistical hurdles. This means more consistency and better results.

There is no general answer to this question, as the costs depend heavily on your goals and the desired equipment. A high-quality home gym can be realized in various price ranges:

  • Beginners (from €500–€1,000): Dumbbell set, exercise mat, resistance bands, simple weight bench.
  • Advanced (1,000–2,500 €): Multi-functional strength station, adjustable dumbbells, barbell with weight plates, floor mats.
  • Ambitious athletes (2,500–6,000 €+): Combination of barbell system, power rack, rowing machine, ergometer, ski trainer and professional floor protection solutions.

At motion sports, we offer high-quality solutions for every budget with an optimal price-performance ratio – ideal for your personal goal.

The amount of weight you need heavily depends on your training goal and fitness level:

  • Beginners: 50–100 kg total weight is sufficient for basic exercises
  • Advanced: 100–150 kg provides scope for muscle building
  • Professionals: 150 kg+ for intensive strength training and progression

With weight plate sets or adjustable dumbbells, you are flexible and can gradually expand your home gym. It is important to invest in quality – robust grips, secure closures, and durable materials ensure lasting training success.

In addition to fitness equipment, the following elements should not be missing in any home gym:

  1. Mirror wall: For exercise control and motivation
  2. Bluetooth speaker or TV: For workout videos or music
  3. Light & ventilation: A pleasant room climate promotes training motivation
  4. Storage systems: Order through storage systems for dumbbells, kettlebells and weight plates

Yes – with the right equipment, absolutely. A home gym, free weights, and a cardio machine allow for the same workout as in a gym. Plus, there are advantages like 24/7 availability, no waiting times, and complete freedom in your workout.

Your Perfect Home Gym – Complete Studio-Quality Equipment

More and more people are choosing to set up their own home gym – and for good reason. A personal home studio offers you complete freedom to train exactly when it fits into your daily routine: no travel time, no waiting for equipment, and no dependence on gym hours. Whether you want to specifically build muscle mass, improve your endurance, rehabilitate after an injury, or simply stay healthy and fit in the long term – with the right equipment in your home fitness studio, you'll achieve your goals faster, more sustainably, and with more enjoyment than ever before. At motion sports, you'll find a carefully curated selection of high-quality fitness equipment for your home gym, manufactured to studio quality and designed for long-term use – from multifunctional multi-gyms to dumbbells and barbells, as well as rowing machines, treadmills, floor protection mats, and extensive accessories. With the right complete home gym setup, you bring true studio quality into your home – for every budget and every training space.





What equipment belongs in a home gym?

The question of what fitness equipment belongs in a home studio cannot be answered generally – it always depends on your individual training goals, your current fitness level, and the available space. While beginners often start with a manageable basic setup and expand their home studio step by step, experienced athletes opt for more extensive equipment from the outset, enabling both intense strength training and effective endurance training. It is crucial that your home gym is versatile and functional, allowing you to train all major muscle groups specifically and simultaneously strengthen your cardiovascular system sustainably.


Floor Protection Mats – The Foundation of Your Home Gym

Before you consider individual exercise machines, you shouldn't forget the foundation of your home studio: a high-quality floor protection mat. It reliably protects your flooring from scratches, dents, and pressure marks, safeguards your fitness equipment from damage caused by direct contact with the floor, and provides noticeable relief for your joints during training due to its shock-absorbing effect. Furthermore, high-quality rubber mats significantly reduce vibrations and impact noise – a crucial advantage if you train in an apartment or multi-family home. At motion sports, you'll find the right solution for every training area: from high-density rubber mats for general use to robust fall protection plates for heavy weights, and flexible puzzle mats for individual room concepts.


Multi-Gyms – Compact All-in-One Solution for Your Home Studio

A multi-gym is the most versatile single piece of equipment for your home gym, combining numerous exercise options in a single, compact system. With a high-quality multi-gym, you can train almost all muscle groups: chest press and butterfly for the chest, lat pull-down and rowing for the back, shoulder presses, bicep curls, tricep push-downs, and leg extensions – all without additional individual machines. Models with selectorized weights allow for quick and easy weight changes between sets, while power racks with integrated modules offer even more training variety and are ideal for ambitious athletes.


Dumbbells & Barbells – The Essential Foundation in Your Home Gym

Dumbbells and barbells are absolute basic equipment for every home studio and are indispensable in strength training. They enable free, functional training with maximum freedom of movement, where you not only build strength but also promote stability, coordination, and mobility. Particularly space-saving and versatile are adjustable dumbbells with a rotating system: with just one pair, you can train with numerous weight levels and adjust the load individually at any time – ideal for small training areas and varied workouts. Barbells, on the other hand, are the preferred training tool for classic compound exercises such as squats, deadlifts, or bench presses and unleash their full potential in combination with a stable weight bench or a power rack.


Weight Bench – Versatile, Stable, and Essential for Your Home Gym

A high-quality weight bench is one of the most important pieces of fitness equipment in a home studio and enormously increases training variety. An adjustable weight bench offers the greatest added value: by flexibly adjusting it to a flat, incline, or decline angle, you can specifically vary your exercises and target different muscle groups from various angles – from classic bench press and shoulder press to incline bench press, seated bicep curls, or bent-over rows.


Weight Plates – Modular and Indispensable for Your Home Gym

Weight plates make your home gym scalable, flexible, and individually adaptable. Rubber-coated plates protect the floor, minimize noise when putting them down, and are therefore particularly suitable for training in a home studio in apartments. Bumper plates made of solid rubber allow heavy weights to be dropped safely to the floor without damaging the floor or barbell – indispensable for Olympic weightlifting and powerlifting in your own home studio.


Home Gym for Beginners vs. Advanced Users

Beginners – Basic Setup (€200–€800): Those new to home training don't need extensive equipment to train effectively. A pair of adjustable dumbbells, a stable weight bench, and a floor protection mat are enough for over 50 effective exercises. Supplemented by a suspension trainer, a complete full-body setup is created in the smallest space – ideal for starting a home gym.

Advanced – Extended Setup (€800–€2,500): Those who already have training experience will benefit from a multi-gym or a power rack with barbell and weight plates, as well as an additional cardio machine like a rowing machine or cross trainer. A cable pulley machine ideally complements the setup for isolated exercises with constant resistance.

Professionals – Full Equipment (€2,500+): A professional home studio at true studio quality level combines a power rack, cable pulley machine, barbell with bumper plates, and a high-quality cardio machine – for professional competitive training without gym fees, available 24/7.


Home Gym Training Plan – Train Effectively in Your Home Studio

A structured training plan is the key to sustainable results in your home gym. 3-4 sessions per week of 30-45 minutes with a clear division between strength and cardio training have proven effective.

Monday – Upper Body Strength: Bench press, shoulder press, lat pulldown, rowing, and bicep and tricep exercises – 3-4 sets each with 8-12 repetitions.

Tuesday – Cardio & Core: 20-30 minutes on the rowing machine or cross trainer, followed by planks, crunches, and rotational exercises for a strong core.

Thursday – Lower Body Strength: Squats, deadlifts, lunges, and leg extensions – 3-4 sets with 8-12 repetitions for strong legs and a stable foundation.

Saturday – Full Body & Endurance: Circuit training with dumbbells and a suspension trainer, concluded with 15-20 minutes on the treadmill or exercise bike for maximum calorie burn.


Advantages of Your Own Home Gym Compared to a Fitness Studio

I. Train whenever you want – your home studio is available around the clock, with no waiting times for equipment and no ties to opening hours.
II. No travel time – save 30-60 minutes daily and use that time for your workout or recovery.
III. Long-term cost savings – a home gym pays for itself compared to monthly gym fees after 2-3 years.
IV. Hygiene & Privacy – no sharing equipment, no unfamiliar changing rooms, complete control over your training environment.
V. Customizable – music, temperature, training time, and equipment selection fully according to your personal preferences.


Which exercises can be performed in a home gym?

With a well-equipped home gym, almost all forms of training are possible – from classic strength training with dumbbells and a multi-gym to functional training with suspension trainers and kettlebells, as well as effective cardio training with a treadmill, rowing machine, exercise bike, or cross trainer. Thus, your home studio enables complete, varied training for the entire body.


Setting up a Home Gym: How much space is needed?

The space required for your home gym depends heavily on the chosen equipment. For a compact home studio setup with dumbbells, a weight bench, and a training mat, 6–8 m² is sufficient. If you want to integrate a multi-gym, treadmill, or rowing machine, you should plan for 12–20 m² or more to ensure enough freedom of movement and safety distance.
