Hi chaps,
First time poster so please go easy. I'm looking to kit out my 3x3m space (could potentially go bigger - 3x3.5/4m if worth it).
I've heard good things about Mirafit stuff. I'm considering this power rack:
Mirafit M200/M200S Power Rack With Barbell and Weights Set
Start your home or garage gym today with this M200 Series Power Rack Set. Includes a choice of either M200 or M200S rack, M3 barbell with collars and either 60kg, 100kg or 150kg of our black rubber bumper plates. Available in orange or black finish.mirafit.co.uk
And then potentially some dumbbells - again, probably a set with stand.
I've also come across a peloton with a broken screen for 150. Is that a good deal? Are they ok bikes on their own? I have a 40" TV I intend to put in front of the bike. This'll likely be for my wife more than me.
I also like the workout rowing machines give. But this may be a squeeze?
Please...any thoughts? I'm looking to maintain current 100kg/6ft - swapping some tub for some more muscle mass and strengthen up my core. My wife will be looking to maintain weight and tone up.
Interested on thoughts on space too. Theoretically I can go much bigger - are there layouts for various sizes showing what gear is best bang per sq foot?
Edit; also, gym floor - is the Mirafit flooring tiles ok? They're 300 quid cheaper than Duramat (mainly for garages though to be fair).
Depending on budget/space. Consider adjustable dumbells. You can get the automatic ones, or ones you load plates onto similar to a barbell. They keep flexibility open, although standalone ones are better if you can afford them. Just can get expensive to have a full set, as for 15kg you're basically rebuying 12.5kg dumbells and then a bit extra, whereas with adjustables you're only buying the incremental value and re-using the previous weight.
Peloton sounds decent and would be nicely adjustable for both of you. I wouldn't worry about the lack of screen as long as the rest of the functionality could be used to controlled via buttons/app?
