Brent Fikowski's Home Gym

This lineup covers barbells (multi-use and specialty), kettlebells and hex dumbbells, bumper/change/fractional plates, racks/rigs with attachments, and conditioning tools like medicine/slam balls, rings, plyo boxes, and sleds. You’ll also find storage solutions and cable options like ATHENA® for added versatility.

If you want one bar for everything, choose a multipurpose 20kg bar; for Olympic focus, go with a weightlifting bar; for deadlift emphasis, a dedicated deadlift bar. REP’s options include the Colorado™ (multi-use), Alpine™ (weightlifting), Hades™ (deadlift), plus specialty picks like our Open Trap Bar and Safety Squat Bar to expand variations.

Bumper plates suit functional fitness and safe drops, while change and fractional plates let you micro-load between jumps; start with pairs that match your current maxes and add as you progress. For pros and cons by plate type, see our guide to picking the best weight plates for your gym.

Yes—REP racks in this collection support add-ons, and the wall-mounted ATHENA® lets you add pulleys without a standalone machine; choose plate‑loaded vs selectorized based on budget and adjustment speed. Get details in our guide to the ATHENA™ side-mount functional trainer. Check series compatibility (4000/5000) when choosing attachments.

Start with the foundation—rack or wall-mounted rig, a barbell with bumper plates, and a sturdy adjustable bench—then add dumbbells or kettlebells, bands, and one conditioning tool that fits your space. REP’s modular ecosystem of attachments and storage lets you expand as your training evolves.
