Personal Trainer

I'm interested in buying some home fitness equipment
ive got about £500

what would you recommend i buy?

thanks

My advice is don't spend it all on a treadmill or a cross trainer. Make sure you get a decent set of weights or even better, kettle bells. This means that you can add variety to your sessions. If you a piece if CV equipment then the tread mill is number one for me!

Go for kettlebells and if you have a space, then olympic bar and some weights.
You can do CV outside,so save yourself some dosh.

If you go for KTBells, make sure you do some course to learn how to use them.

thanks for the advice
my knees are a little kna*ckered so im guessing a treadmill wont work for me
so i think i will buy a xtrainer
and if i split my budget 50 - 50 i'll have £250 for fitness equipment
still a little stuck on what to buy i guess

Make sure,you want sort of training you want to do, building muscle, conditioning, etc.... That should help you to decide.
Try to hunt for some bargain, second hand stuff is much cheaper and with a bit of luck you can get pretty decent stuff...

Hi mate, go to Powerhouse Fitness - Fitness Equipment, Gym Equipment, Exercise Equipment and Fitness Accessories, I got two 8kg cast iron kettlebells for £36 including postage and packing. 8kg doesn't seem a lot but they pack a punch this babies!

I do a lot of home visits as part of my business and the overwhelming reaction I get from clients is how hard I work them with such simple equipment. I use:

A bosu ball
Reebok deck
Dumbells (powerblocks)
Resistance bands
skipping
gloves & pads (boxing)
bodyweight exercises
medicine ball

thousands of exercises possible from these simple pieces of kit!

The best bang for your buck is getting equipment that is inexpensive but high quality, can be used for multiple exercises and takes up very little space.

For my in-home training clients I've used medicine balls, resistance bands, stability balls and dumbbells as my main training tools because they are so versatile.

You have an almost unlimited number of exercises you can perform with these. You can use them for strength, endurance, cardio and performance based workouts.

I've seen and used a lot of them and I have seen a lot of poor quality ones. You can get these that are very durable, high quality and easily affordable at
