Best Compact Exercise Equipment

Just because you live in a small space doesn’t mean you can’t have a home gym. Trust me, we know: expert reviewer Anthony O'Reilly, CPT, CNC lived and exercised in a studio apartment, and before he built his home gym, he stored his bumper plates in his fireplace (no, really). One of the many reasons why he was the perfect person to tackle this subject.

Someone–and in many cases, more than one person–at Garage Gym Reviews has had their hands on every piece of equipment listed here. So for our list of the best compact exercise equipment, we tested and analyzed important space-saving factors, like:

  • Footprint: Is it small enough to really be called “compact”?

  • Portability: Can you move it around your space easily?

  • Value: Is the price accurate?

5 Interval Training Workouts From a CPT

There are several types of training methods available to you. You can do regular strength training, steady-state cardio, circuit training, Fartlek training, and—drumroll please—interval training. Ravi Davda, CPT, has been doing interval training for the past 10 years and practices it with his clients. He recommends interval training workouts because they’re usually quicker than regular workouts, can help improve cardiovascular fitness, and may help support weight loss goals.

So, if interval training is new to you and you don’t know how to get started, you’ve come to the right place. Ravi will begin his guide by explaining the key principles of interval training before sharing five interval training workouts for different fitness levels and goals. Then, he’ll share some expert tips on how to make your interval workouts more effective and the benefits of exercising this way.

Let’s dial up the intensity!
