Don't let the size mislead you: Amazon gym equipment for small space dwellers will have a big impact on your fitness routine, even if the products require some creative storage solutions.
Gym memberships seem particularly enticing when the new year rolls around, but an at-home system has pretty much everything we want: versatility, customization, and perhaps most alluring of all, privacy (ever wish you didn't have onlookers during your cardio routine?).
As you peruse the best home gym equipment buys for your abode, have a look at these customer favorites (our expert shopper, loves them too) from the retail giant.

Thought your space was too tiny for an elliptical? Think again. This sedentary pedal exerciser gives you a little taste of the gym thanks to its built-in wheels and retractable handle. However, this elliptical doesn't quite clock in at 20 lbs, unlike its counterparts at the gym. If you like to work out while you WFH, consider this.
What to keep in mind
If you're setting up a workout spot in a tiny nook, there are a few things to keep in mind when you're shopping for at-home workout gear, according to Annie Collyer, Real Homes' head ecommerce editor: durability, space, portability, and your floors. Make sure to have a mat of some sort beneath the applicable gear so you don't scuff up your tiles or wooden panels, or slip mid-workout.
Looking for more ways to stay fit from the comfort of your abode? The debut IKEA workout collection, DAJLIEN, will be available in January 2024, just in time to coincide with those new year's fitness resolutions. The collection includes gym mats, weights, resistance bands, and those not-so-obvious gym essentials, like a portable speaker and flip-flops.
