The Best Home Workout Equipment, Plans And Apps
From top-quality yoga mats to personal trainers, we've got you covered
We’ll let you in on a little secret (this one weird trick, PTs hate us etc): fitness is free. You don’t need home workout equipment, nutritional supplements or specialist apparel. Some form of clothing is probably a good idea, although the Ancient Greeks trained without it: the word gymnasion literally means “school for naked exercise”. But the point is that you can get in incredible shape with just basic bodyweight moves and determination.
Getting fit is a lot harder than trying to buy it though. So you may still want some gear to give you more options of what to do, or a workout to give you more of an idea of what to do, or an enthusiastic trainer to give you more motivation to do it. Some of the below apps, books, programmes and assorted pieces of paraphernalia for getting fit at home cost money, some are free. All come with Esquire’s approval, but none with determination.
