FAQ
What should I prioritize for a functional fitness starter setup?
Pick versatile pieces that cover strength, conditioning, and mobility: a few kettlebells or dumbbells, resistance bands, and one power/conditioning tool (like a plyo box or jump rope). REP Fitness also offers adjustable dumbbells and compact, wall-mounted racks to maximize small spaces.
How do I choose between kettlebells, dumbbells, and sandbags?
Kettlebells excel for swings, cleans, and carries; dumbbells shine for presses and rows with precise increments; sandbags add a shifting load that challenges core and grip. For sizing and technique, see our guide to the keys to the kettlebell.
Which dumbbell style is right—hex, urethane, or adjustable?
Hex are stable and budget-friendly, urethane are premium and highly durable, and adjustable options save space by replacing multiple pairs. REP carries all three so you can match durability, feel, and footprint to your training space.
How do I pick the right resistance band level?
Choose a band that lets you move with control—lighter for mobility or assistance, heavier for strength and power—and progress as needed. We offer multiple resistance levels, including latex-free options; our overview of different exercise bands can help you select.
What plyo box type should I get—wood, soft foam, or stackable?
Wood boxes are firm and budget-friendly, soft foam reduces shin risk, and 3-in-1 or stackable designs let you vary height without extra pieces. REP’s plyo lineup covers each style so you can balance safety, stability, and space.
