It is the end of 2025, and it is time to take a look at the best and worst home gym equipment I used this year. It has been a busy year of training, moving into a new house, and completely transforming my gym space. With all of that came

Adding a true leg curl movement to a home gym is one of the most common gaps lifters run into once the basics are covered. A rack, barbell, plates, adjustable bench, and dumbbells handle most training needs, but they do not provide a knee-dominant hamstring exercise. That movement pattern, most

Evolpow reached out to have me review the M2B, and what immediately stood out was the price. This is not a category I typically shop in. The M2B sits firmly in the budget tier, which made me curious what a true all in one setup would feel like at this

The Merach R50 air resistance rower enters the home gym market as a direct competitor to the Concept 2, which has long been considered the gold standard in rowing machines. This unit was sent to me free of charge for review, and after spending several weeks using it consistently, I

The home gym bench market is brutally competitive. Rep, Rogue, and several newer brands have raised the bar on build quality, vinyl, zero gap designs, and modular add-ons. Titan Fitness sits in an interesting spot in that landscape. It usually comes in cheaper, often ships for free, and still offers

This review covers a complete Rogue deadlift setup used for roughly four years: the Ohio Deadlift Bar, the 26’ER Wagon Wheels, and the Rogue Aluminum Collars. None of this was purchased to create an “all-Rogue” package—it happened organically over time. The question is whether that same buying path would make

Cable attachments might not get the same spotlight as barbells or benches, but they play a huge role in shaping how a home gym functions. After spending years building and refining my setup, I’ve assembled a collection of attachments that cover everything from classic pulldowns and rows to more unique
