Picking the best home gym equipment will help you redefine your fitness routine and stay healthy during these ambiguous times we are living in. Temporarily turning our homes into small-scale exercise studios was a trend well before 2020. But, for obvious reasons, more and more people are now experiencing working out at home.
But why do a lot of exercise tools and sports equipment that are available right now look like they’re still stuck in the 80s? It’s pretty difficult to find workout gear that is devoid of neon colours, synthetic materials and amorphous shapes. Many designs practically scream when in reality, a much more toned-down atmosphere is what most people need to concentrate on their workout.
Thankfully, though, this is changing. With a new year, a new aesthetic is coming along, and these brands are helping to define it. Through an approach in product design that emphasizes minimal lines, the use of quality industrial and natural materials, and placing craftsmanship at the center, the results are a new luxurious perspective on home fitness you didn’t know was even possible. These pieces are art for your home and art for your body. After all, it’s not just your body that wants to have a sleek, defined look.

Kenkō – Set B Walnut
The Berlin brand Kenkō manufactures beautiful fitness products from their workshop on the southern, lush green outskirts of the German capital Their creations are showcased and sold in their brand new, minimalist design studio in the art gallery district of Berlin-Mitte. The brand champions a return to the natural form, using materials such as walnut or maple wood alongside cork and polished stainless steel in geometrical shapes.
From individual sport equipment to larger sets, our favourite has to be the ‘Set B' in Walnut. It includes their 1 kg dumbbell set, their range of expanders, their maple push-up devices, and the Kenkō cork and steel massage ball (which can be filled with warm water for extra soothing post-work out recovery) — all housed in a stylish maple wood storage system that goes well in any room.
VAHA – Fitness Mirror
Perhaps the most futuristic of our selection, the VAHA Fitness Mirror is a first: a near-life size virtual trainer that incorporates artificial intelligence to improve your workout. Containing over 200 exercises — from HIIT to yoga which are created by high-end personal trainers like Nikeata Thompson, Natalie Ismail, or Michael Byrne — the virtual trainer is transported into your work out space via the mirror like a hologram and gives immediate feedback and encouragement on your movements as you work out in front of it.
However, if you prefer a personal connection, VAHA has you covered with their option of booking live 1-hour personal classes with coaches to train 1-on-1. Naturally, you can also integrate your apps and services — from YouTube to Spotify — to supplement your workout or use the VAHA itself for different purposes.

NOHrD – Sprintbok
Another German brand specializing in sports equipment made from natural materials is NOHrD. Based in northern Germany (which inspired the company’s name), as you might expect, NOHrD’s products are eco-minded, from the sustainably sourced German and American wood right down to the leather that’s sourced locally and tanned using natural, vegetable tanning techniques. With products spanning strength, cardio, coordination, as well as an elegant all-in-one wall solution, our personal luxury best home gym equipment highlight is the curved manual treadmill — the Sprintbok.
The latest product in their portfolio of best home gym equipment is unique not only with its materials — wooden slats and metal ball bearings housed in an elegant wooden frame of your choice — the running level is also completely self-determined by the runner. No programmes, no wires, no electricity. The energy you put in directly correlates to the response you get back, which results in a 30% higher calorie burn. Additionally, the simplicity and elegance of the design means NOHrD’s Sprintbok is a maintenance free machine — no oiling, greasing, or belt-tightening needed.
Ulysse Martel — Olympia Dumbbell
Ulysse Martel is a creative consultancy based in Switzerland headed by its eponymous designer, who also, along with architect Candice Joyce Blanc, created these futuristic, pearlescent pieces of home sports equipment. This Olympia set consists of a trio of dumbbells, along with push up bars and a two-handed dumbbell. The equipment’s design process drew inspiration from the pursuit of bodily perfection against a backdrop of scientific progression and genetics which, according to the designers, will soon leave the pursuit of bodily perfection “superfluous”.
Architectural in their lines and crafted from pearlescent lacquered steel reminiscent of early millennial car tuning, “left to rest, these dumbbells become genuine sculptures,” says Martel. Winner of the 2020 German Design Awards, the entire project was carried out in Switzerland and available at Nov Gallery in Geneva. Here’s hoping they enter a more large-scale production soon…
Ciclotte – Bike Teckell
The French may have made cycling into a sport, but the Italians made the sport beautiful. At least that’s a view held by those who know their Tour from their Giro. So it’s not surprising to see an Italian company doing exactly that when it comes to indoor cycling. Ciclotte’s Bike Teckell (in fact, Ciclotte’s entire product range) may be the most beautiful set of indoor cycling machines ever made. So, how could we not include it in our best luxury best home gym equipment selection?
Inspired by the Ciclò Monocycle held in the Italian Design Museum in Milan, their signature design features a large core circle for the body and twin carbon handlebar pins. The Teckell, however, takes it further, using transparent strengthened crystal for the body. Their transmission incorporates magnetism for a more faithful reproduction of the road racing feel, while a dedicated app provides speed and distance info, and allows for full integration with your phone and tablet.
maxwall – Classic Wall Bars
The clue is in the name: a classic wall-mounted gym designed with both beauty and practicality as way points. “I have used my knowledge as a designer and personal trainer in the development of the maxwall,” says Max Kant, CEO and designer of the maxwall, from his base in Berlin’s Prenzlauer Berg. The core product is crafted from beech wood, light or dark oiled with polished steel or brass fittings, however, you can also add a bench, dip bars and grip sets to really optimize your workout. An essential, understated yet elegant addition to your workout space and your home.
