Lifters know the hard path is often the best path. Good things don’t come easy, and all that.
But easy can be good – if you’re building a home gym.
REP offers nine different equipment packages (including upgrade options) that make it easy to equip a gym with a few clicks of the mouse. These packages were designed to build out your gym all in one go, with various pieces depending on your needs. There are packages for lifters on a budget, for powerlifters training for a comp, for functional fitness athletes, and for total newbies. Best of all, you save money on some of REP’s best-selling equipment, instead of buying each item individually.
Here’s a closer look at the various equipment packages and how they compare.
Minimalist Package
For lifters looking to start a home gym with minimal space
This package makes it easy for anyone to start a home gym -- even if you have barely any space. The Minimalism Package is proof that you can get a good workout at home, no matter what.
What makes it stand out? This is for anyone. All you need for this package is a little floor space for an exercise mat and adjustable bench (which stores upright and out of the way when not in use). No excuses.
Equipment included: AB-3100 adjustable bench; Exercise Mat; Wall of Ceiling Mount Pull-Up Bar; set of Adjustable Dumbbells in 20lbs or 52.5lbs; Adjustable Kettlebell in the size of your choice (8-16kg, 16-24kg, or 20-40kg); Ab Roller; set of Pull-Up Bands; and a Speed Cable Jump Rope.
Power rack included? No.
Customization options: Pick a wall or ceiling mount pull-up bar and pick the color of your bench (metallic black, red, blue, matte black, army green, purple, or white). You get to pick the weight of your adjustable dumbbell and adjustable kettlebell, too.

Before the Barbell Package
For new lifters looking for general strength and fitness with a program

What makes it stand out? This package is more extensive than the $1,000 home gym packages and it includes all different types of weights (beyond iron plates): irons, bumpers, dumbbells, and a kettlebell. So you can get experience with all of it.

You can also choose your rack and bench color (metallic black, red, blue, or black). Pick which barbell you want.
Training program compatibility: Yes, this was designed to go with the free, eight-week Before the Barbell program featuring Meg Squats of Strong Strong Friends.
What distinguishes training program: Before the Barbell is a training intensive for beginners, people getting back to training after time off, people who lack confidence in their form and technique, people who want a structured program but aren’t sure what kind of training they want to do, or people who just feel overwhelmed with knowing how to move forward with their fitness. The package includes the link to access the course on its own Instagram page.
Other features: There’s also a Before the Barbell Package Upgrade for people who want to add more challenges to their training. The upgrade package is meant to enhance the basic package and includes a Lat and Low Row Attachment, one pair of 40lb Hex Dumbbells, and one light Pull-Up Band.
