🏠 Buds Fitness: Our Top 5 Home Fitness Favourites

When it comes to working out at home, simplicity, space-saving, and staying motivated are key. At Buds Fitness, we stock over 300 products, with nearly 100 dedicated to home fitness — and we know that can feel a little overwhelming if you’re just getting started.

So we thought it would be helpful to answer a question we’re often asked:

“What are the first five items you’d buy if you were setting up a home fitness space with limited space?”

Here’s Liam’s top five — hand-picked for their versatility, value, and storage-friendliness. These are all products we use daily in the studio, and ones we confidently recommend if you’re starting to build your own home setup.

🎲 1. Exercise Dice

Why we love them:
They’re small, light, and packed with potential. These dice bring unpredictability to your workouts — helping you shake up your routine and get moving, even on those low-motivation days.

Bonus: Great for family workouts or getting kids involved. Fitness becomes a game, and everyone wins.

⚖️ 2. Balance Board

Why we love it:
Improves core strength, stability, and coordination — all in one compact piece of kit. You can use it while watching TV, brushing your teeth, or to spice up standard exercises like squats or planks.

Bonus: Easy to store and surprisingly fun to master.

🆎 3. Ab Roller

Why we love it (even when it hurts):
Ask any of our Buds — this one burns, but in the best way. It’s a core crusher and one of the most efficient pieces of kit for your abdominals.

Bonus: You’ll see progress over time, which is key to staying motivated at home.
(Warning: may cause foul language aimed toward the coach… but it’s worth it.)

đź’Ş 4. Push-Up Bars

Why we love them:
Incredibly versatile. These allow you to shift your hand positioning to target the chest, triceps, shoulders, and back more effectively than standard push-ups. The cushioned handles also reduce wrist strain, making upper body work more comfortable and effective.

Bonus: Lightweight, durable, and easy to tuck away between sessions.

🔩 5. Hex Dumbbells

Why we love them:
The workhorse of any home gym. Hex dumbbells don’t roll, making them safer for storage and mid-set placement. They can double as push-up handles, and with just two pairs (we suggest 5kg and 10kg), you can complete a full-body workout at home.

Bonus: Built to last. Buy once, lift for years.
