Powerhouse fitness only has nine retail stores nationwide, but thanks to its website you can select from more than 6,000 fitness-related products.
It has a selection of inexpensive gym equipment including kettlebells, dumbbells and weighted balls. If you are into boxing or martial arts it also has an impressive selection of gloves, pads and shields which are reasonably priced.
Take home
If you are considering purchasing cheap home gym equipment, it’s worth taking your time. There are many forms of exercise that don’t require equipment in their basic form.
It’s better to start a fitness regime before buying equipment, so can find out what type of exercise appeals to you. You will be less likely to purchase equipment that you then stop using due to lack of interest.
