Types of sport and fitness equipment
Treadmills let you get in a great cardio workout at home — no matter what the weather’s like outside. Home treadmills also give you loads of different workout programs and handy fitness stats to track your progress. Monitor your heart rate, distance covered and calories burned.
From compact, foldable treadmills that you can easily tuck away to smart Bluetooth treadmills with vibrant displays — there are plenty of great options to run with.
Exercise bikes let you improve your cardio, build leg strength and burn calories. It's a low-impact form of exercise too, meaning that you can maintain healthy joints while improving your endurance.
From affordable, space-saving exercise bikes to high-end models with adjustable resistance levels, tablet holders and built-in touchscreens — get into gear here!
Rowing machines give you a great full-body workout. They can also help you develop good posture, improve cardio fitness and lose weight.
Most rowing machines come kitted out with smart LCD displays and adjustable resistance levels too. These will help you to make quick progress and build up your strength.
Ellipticals use your upper and lower body muscles for a great all-round workout. The handles and pedals work together and target the chest, back, shoulders, arms, legs, and glutes. You can tone different parts of your body all at the same time without putting lots of stress on your joints.
Many elliptical machines are Wi-Fi and Bluetooth-enabled too. So, you could listen to some tunes or catch up on your favourite show while you work up a sweat.
Vibration platforms are seriously popular right now. They give you an intense home workout without needing to hit the gym.
You can stand, sit, or do exercises on them as vibrations cause your muscles to rapidly contract — boosting your strength and power. They even improve blood circulation and help with balance. Good vibrations!

Extra sport and fitness equipment features
Safety features
Exercise equipment will have built-in safety features for your peace of mind. Treadmills and elliptical trainers come equipped with emergency stop buttons that you can press if you've pulled a muscle or need to answer the door.
Treadmills also have auto-stop safety clips. Just attach these to your clothing and if you fall or lose your balance — they’ll get pulled out of the machine forcing it to stop.
Programs
Exercise equipment can also help guide your workouts. Many have built-in, pre-designed programs that tailor your routine just the way you like.
Treadmills and stationary bikes will offer short, light workout programs — perfect for when you're just starting out. And if you're really into your fitness, you can try more intense programs like interval training and hill climbs to keep things interesting.
Connectivity
Most modern home gym equipment will have cool connectivity features like Bluetooth so you can sync up your smartphone and stream music to stay motivated.
Some premium exercise machines have internet connectivity (Wi-Fi) too. These let you connect to exercise apps that'll maximise your workouts with interactive coaching and live classes.
