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 10 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, 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.

Training program compatibility: Yes, this was designed to go with the free, eight-week Before the Barbell program featuring Meg Squats of Strong Strong Friends.
