Apex 1.0 all-in-one rack and functional trainer
Equipment example: Apex 1.0. Measure your room and access route before choosing a large training system.

Choose a setup for your training space

A compact room or multi-use space

Hex dumbbell product example. Browse weights and available sets for a compact free-weight setup.

Start with dumbbells and a weight bench if you want a flexible strength-training setup without a full rack. Compare fixed and adjustable dumbbells, then check the bench dimensions in both its training and storage positions. Leave clear space around the bench for getting into position and putting weights down.

A garage or basement strength setup

For barbell training, build your shortlist around a rack or squat cage, a compatible barbell, weight plates and a bench. Measure the whole training area, not just the rack footprint: the bar extends beyond the uprights, and you need room at both ends to load plates. Check the manufacturer’s installation and anchoring requirements for the model you choose.

Cable training and an all-in-one system

Compare functional trainers if cable exercises are central to your workouts. An all-in-one system can combine several training functions, but you still need clearance for cable travel, attachments and movement. The Apex 1.0 Functional Trainer with Lat Pulldown & Rower is one option to explore. Review the current product specifications, included accessories and available variants before deciding.

Measure before ordering

  • Floor space: record the usable width and length, including space for loading weights, bench adjustments and storage.
  • Ceiling height: measure the lowest point, including beams and overhead doors. Allow for the movements you plan to perform, not only the machine height.
  • Access route: measure doorways, stair turns, hallways and elevators. Compare these with the equipment and packaging dimensions, and ask us about any dimensions that are not listed.
  • Flooring: compare gym flooring and mats for your setup. Mats do not replace checking that the underlying floor is suitable for the equipment and intended loads.
  • Compatibility: check bar and plate fit, attachment sizing, load limits and installation instructions. Do not assume all rack accessories fit every rack.

Build your home gym in stages

X-Rival adjustable FID weight bench
An adjustable bench is one option for a staged home gym setup. Check dimensions and model specifications.

You do not need to buy every machine at once. First choose equipment for the exercises you use most. Then add storage, extra weights or compatible attachments as your routine develops. Compare the complete order, including required accessories and delivery or installation, when setting your budget.

A simple starting shortlist is dumbbells and a bench for free-weight training, or a rack, barbell, plates and bench for barbell-focused workouts. Add a functional trainer when cable training fits your goals and space. For conditioning or a Pilates-focused room, browse our cardio equipment and Pilates equipment separately and check each model’s space requirements.

Home gym equipment questions

What should I buy first for a home gym?

Start with your main exercises and available space. Dumbbells and a bench can form a compact setup; a barbell-focused setup needs compatible equipment and enough clearance for safe use. There is no single package that fits every room or training routine.

Will a rack or functional trainer fit in my basement?

Check the exact model’s dimensions, operating clearances and installation requirements against your room and access route. Send us your measurements if you need clarification before ordering.

Can I see equipment before buying?

Ask our Calgary team whether your chosen model is currently on display. Display availability and stock are not the same, so confirm both before travelling or arranging pickup.

Where can I check warranty and return terms?
