Product Guides & Reviews

A squat rack is the single most important piece of strength equipment in a home gym. It's also the one buyers get wrong most often. As a former strength and conditioning coach, I've set up gyms in everything from Brisbane garages to Sydney studio apartments.

An all-in-one home gym is the most efficient strength purchase you can make. One frame replaces a separate squat rack, cable column, lat pulldown station and Smith machine — and a good one will outlast the house it sits in.

Most cheap adjustable benches fail the same way. Solid in the shop, then six months in the ladder pin engages a millimetre off-square, your spine drops half-an-inch on every press, and the bench ends up under the spare bed. My Editor's Pick is the UFC Deluxe FID Adjustable Bench at $349 — 250 kg combined capacity, six back-pad angles, the bench I put in most client home gyms under $400.
