Our Favorite Smart Home Gym Equipment in 2023

For game-changing cardio and fitness training at home, the Original Peloton Bike offers a premium workout experience. Cruise, sprint, and climb your way to peak fitness, and compete with millions of Peloton members worldwide. This static smart bike can support a maximum weight of 297 pounds and is suitable for anyone up to six and a half feet tall.

With a two-channel rear-facing stereo speaker system, a 10-point 22-inch HD multi-touchscreen, a 5-megapixel front-facing camera, a built-in microphone, and Bluetooth connectivity, you have all the tools you need to track your progress across hundreds of training programs. On-screen metrics chart your speed, heart rate, resistance, and more, as you advance through the ranks.

With so many online classes to join in with, the choice here is almost endless. On the downside, you’ll need to fork out extra for a Peloton All-Access Membership to enjoy the full library of content available (both through your bike and the Peloton app), but if you can afford the initial outlay, you’ll find every sort of live and on-demand classes you can think of to help you smash your fitness goals.

With its 16-inch HD touchscreen and (required) subscription service, there are plenty of places the Hydrow Wave Rowing Machine can take you. Enjoy virtual tours of the Scandinavian Fjords, explore the vast expanse of Loch Ness, or plunge into the ice-cold Alaskan waters. Hydrow members can enjoy a huge library of content set in exotic locations, as they work on their strength training.

This foldable smart rower supports weights of up to 375 pounds and is a great way to enjoy an immersive, full-body workout at home. It uses a patented electromagnetic drag system to mimic the effect of rowing on water, to ensure that you are using the same muscle groups as you would be in a real boat.

As with the Peloton Bike, the cost of this rower may be a few strokes beyond the reach of some people’s budgets. But for those that can, this Bluetooth-enabled rower allows you to take advantage of a huge, curated library of content, including on-demand workouts with world-class athletes.

Create unlimited training profiles, monitor all your progress, and track your metrics across any number of exercise types. Besides rowing, Hydrow can be used for yoga, Pilates, circuit training, and general mobility training. And if space is at a premium at home, this vessel can be safely stowed away until you next take to the water.

Peloton Guide offers AI-powered personal training at home. Using innovative camera technology, Guide will count your reps, track the weights you lift, and watch your form. Designed to work with your TV, you can see yourself in real-time on-screen, next to your personal instructor.

You’ll need roughly six feet of space to use Guide effectively at home, which is equivalent to two Yoga mats placed side-by-side. Using this space for your workouts, Peloton Guide can accurately count your repetitions and track your progress, whether you’re engaging in strength training or cardio.

A separate Guide membership is required to access all of Guide’s exclusive on-demand content, which includes boot camps, endurance training, and much more. If you own another Peloton accessory, such as Peloton weights, or a Peloton heart rate band, these can be registered with your Peloton Guide and will work alongside your workout.

Peloton Guide is an innovative way to engage in full-body workouts at home without the need for any other exercise equipment. Although the Guide membership is rather costly at $24 per month, it does allow up to five people to be registered and would therefore make it suitable for family use.

Boasting a maximum track speed of 12 miles per hour, NordicTrack Commercial Series Treadmill is fantastic for at-home training. It has a handy SpaceSaver folding design, so that it won’t permanently engulf your available space, and it’s fitted with a 14-inch HD Tilt and Pivot touchscreen and integrated two-inch speakers.

With an incline range of 3 percent to 15 percent, you can enjoy some tough hill climbs with NordicTrack, too. And an AutoAdjust feature will alter your speed and incline in real time to match your workout. This feature works with iFit, the subscription service that works with NordicTrack.

A 30-day membership to iFit is included with your purchase and includes access to live and on-demand global workouts and studio classes. This subscription service allows up to five members to register and is the best way to get the most out of this smart treadmill.

The tread belt here is 60 inches long and 22 inches wide, so should provide you with plenty of space while running. And as a welcome bonus, the NordicTrack Commercial Series Treadmill comes equipped with dual AutoBreeze fans to help keep you cool under pressure!

As far as celebrity endorsements go, Shaquille O'Neal is up there with the most impressive of them. It's therefore no wonder that the MAXPRO Fitness Cable Home Gym has garnered as much publicity and hype as it has. Does it live up to that hype? Yes, it does, and with some impressive chops too.

This package includes a quick-connect long bar with two MAXPRO handles, ankle and wrist straps, door mount brackets, and a USB charger. This cable system can be fully adjusted to provide resistance of up to 300lbs.

Connect to the MAXPRO coaching app and MAXPRO's onboard sensors will communicate your workout data and progress. Monitor your reps, heart rate, velocity, and power from here, and choose from a library of coached classes to suit your own personal workout goals. There's even a world leaderboard for you to really test your mettle against.

Whether you're into strength, HIIT, resistance, or suspension training, the MAXPRO Fitness Cable Home Gym has got you covered. It's as portable as you are too; perfect for hotel rooms, holidays, and nights away from home. In fact, you can take this with you wherever you go, so there are no excuses to not keep those workouts up!

With the NordicTrack Select-A-Weight Adjustable Dumbbells, you have the benefit of a full-weight set in your own home but taking up a fraction of the space. Featuring 15 weight increments per dumbbell, it delivers the same range of weights as 30 individual dumbbells.

These versatile dumbbells can be easily adjusted to suit whatever style of workout you’re doing. A 30-day trial membership to iFit is included with your purchase, and this grants you access to a library of on-demand strength training classes and workouts. Whether you’re using them for cross-training, strength training, or as part of your cardio fitness, iFit helps give these smart dumbbells longevity.

And that longevity is also part of the make-up of these NordicTrack dumbbells too. A great space-saving idea for home workouts, that can be changed up on the fly as you gain strength and look to push yourself further. These Wi-Fi weights are ideal for pumping iron in your living room.

What Kind of Smart Gym Equipment Is Right for You?

A smart home workout isn't always a cheap option, as some of the products in this roundup demonstrate. There's the initial outlay, which can be costly, plus the ongoing expense of subscription services which may be required to unlock all the available premium content online.

However, saving money may not necessarily be the main motivating factor. By offering you the same intense and effective workout at home, you can save valuable time traveling to the gym and back. You don't have to worry about losing your locker key, and chances are, the shower will be free afterward. Plus, with hundreds of live and on-demand classes available with your smart gym equipment, you needn't feel like you're exercising alone, as you will be part of a bustling global community.

Devices like the Hydrow Wave Rowing Machine offer a fantastic, intensive, full-body workout. With electromagnetic drag technology built-in, it can mimic the pull of real water, giving your muscles a powerful workout. Plus, with a Hydrow membership, you can row to hundreds of exotic virtual locations on its 16-inch HD screen.

For an equipment-free workout at home, the Peloton Guide offers plenty of versatility. This AI-powered fitness camera puts you in the center of the action and acts like a virtual personal trainer. With more than 500 movement tracker-enabled classes to explore, you can work out your own way, while still making progress towards your goals.

But for the best overall features in home workouts, the Original Peloton Bike is a tough act to follow. Forgetting the dizzying price tag and ongoing subscription costs, the available features here are staggering. For starters, it can be fully adjusted for your comfort (or discomfort, depending on how you're training!). A large ten-point touchscreen keeps you firmly in control of the action, and a vast library of both live and on-demand content awaits your perusal. Choose classes to suit your mood, choice in music, or fitness goals, and then get pedaling.

And with such a huge online community, Peloton is the place to be if you're looking to challenge yourself against others, to stay motivated.
