THE IDEAL gym experience has always been pretty simple: It’s whatever works for you and your lifestyle, because that’s what will keep you coming back to sweat and lift heavy things day after day after day.
For some people, that means building a gym in their garage (or basement or backyard barn). For others, that means donning their favorite apparel and heading to the gym down the block. No matter what your fitness flavor, though, we’ve got you covered in our 2024 Fitness Awards, which are overflowing with home gym goodness but still include the perfect gear to take with you when you train away from home, too.

An ultra-slim cable machine that can fit into the corner of any home gym, setting you up for exercises like pullups, cable curls, and cable chest flies.
A cambered, neutral-grip barbell that features three different grip positions so you can comfortably challenge chest, triceps, and shoulders (and more!).
The ultra-tiny Wave, which can be stored vertically, delivers a smooth rowing experience whether you’re doing explosive sprints or taking on lighter Zone 2 workouts.
This cutting-edge massage gun provides not only percussive therapy but also hot and cold settings and LED light therapy as options for post-workout recovery bliss.

The fifth edition of Nike’s jack-of-all-trades trainer delivers the flexibility you need for box jumps and skater hops and just enough stability for basic lifts.
