How to Choose a Gym Equipment Package

Lifters know the hard path is often the best path. Good things don’t come easy, and all that.  

But easy can be good – if you’re building a home gym.  

REP offers various different equipment packages (including upgrade options) that make it easy to equip a gym with a few clicks of the mouse. These packages were designed to build out your gym all in one go, with various pieces depending on your needs. There are packages for lifters on a budget, for powerlifters training for a comp, for functional fitness athletes, Strongman competitors, lifters with limited space, and for total newbies. Best of all, you save money on some of REP’s best-selling equipment, instead of buying each item individually.

Here’s a closer look at the various equipment packages and how they compare.  

Minimalist Package

For lifters looking to start a home gym with minimal space

This package makes it easy for anyone to start a home gym -- even if you have barely any space. The Minimalist Package is proof that you can get a good workout at home, no matter what. 

What makes it stand out? This is for anyone. All you need for this package is a little floor space for an exercise mat and adjustable bench (which stores upright and out of the way when not in use). No excuses.

Equipment included: AB-3100 adjustable bench; Exercise Mat; Wall or Ceiling Mount Pull-Up Bar; set of Adjustable Dumbbells in 20lbs or 52.5lbs; Adjustable Kettlebell in the size of your choice (8-16kg, 16-24kg, or 20-40kg); Ab Roller; set of Pull-Up Bands; and a Speed Cable Jump Rope. 

Power rack included? No.

Customization options: Pick a wall or ceiling mount pull-up bar and pick the color of your bench (metallic black, red, blue, matte black, army green, purple, or white). You get to pick the weight of your adjustable dumbbell and adjustable kettlebell, too.

Training program compatibility? No.

This is another way to get your home gym started, including programming. This package is in collaboration with the well-respected JuggernautAI program.  

What makes it stand out? This equipment was selected by JuggernautAI to complement its programs. Juggernaut is known for powerlifting and powerbuilding (although you don't have to be a powerlifter to do it), so this package comes with a power bar that’s ideal for slower, strength-focused lifts.

Training program compatibility? Yes, this goes with the JuggernautAI program.  

What distinguishes the training program? Juggernaut workouts are for all levels (including advanced lifters) and available for a monthly or annual fee. The app uses your information and feedback in smart algorithms to customize your program. 

Other features: JuggernautAI has four different packages that are all designed to go with its programming, but just feature different combinations of equipment. Each package gets progressively more upgraded.
