Creating a home gym is one of the best investments you can make in your health and lifestyle, but how much does it really cost?
The short answer: it depends on your space, training style, and goals. You don’t need to spend thousands to get started, but the right setup can grow with you over time.
Here’s a quick guide to help you plan your home gym budget.
Basic Training Setup (£500–£1,000)
If you’re just starting out or training in a smaller space, you can build an effective setup without breaking the bank.
What to include:
- An adjustable bench
- A few pairs of dumbbells (or adjustable dumbbells)
- A mat for floor work and stretching
This setup is compact, affordable, and versatile enough for full-body strength training, HIIT workouts, and mobility work.
Mid-Range Setup (£1,000–£3,000)
If you’re ready to level up, investing a little more gives you a lot more variety and storage options.
What to include:
- A bench with integrated storage
- A squat rack or half rack
- Dumbbells, kettlebells, and a barbell with plates
This setup lets you lift heavier, train more efficiently, and organise your equipment properly, perfect for regular training or shared home gyms.
Premium Setup (£5,000+)
For those looking to create a truly custom training space, a premium setup offers the best in both performance and design.
What to include:
- Bespoke design and layout tailored to your space
- Premium equipment and finishes
- A complete storage system with cables or functional rigs
At this level, you’re essentially bringing a professional gym experience home, perfectly designed around your goals, training style, and aesthetic.
No matter your budget, the key is to start smart and build gradually.
