FAQ
What functional training gear works best if I have limited space?
Prioritize compact, multi-use tools like resistance bands, an adjustable kettlebell, sandbags, a speed rope, and a soft plyo box; most store easily in a corner or under a rack. REP Fitness offers space-saving options across this lineup for home gyms.
What’s the difference between medicine balls and slam balls?
Medicine balls are for throws, wall balls, and partner work with some rebound, while slam balls are built for repeated floor slams with a dead bounce and grippy shell. For a quick breakdown, see our guide to the different types of fitness balls.
How do I choose starting weights for kettlebells, dumbbells, and sandbags?
Pick loads that let you move with control while the last few reps feel challenging, then progress over time. A small range of weights or adjustable options covers more exercises without crowding your space; REP offers broad weight ranges to match beginners through advanced lifters.
When should I choose bumper plates instead of iron plates?
Bumper plates are ideal for Olympic lifts, training where you’ll drop the bar, and for reducing noise, while iron plates suit controlled strength work and tighter budgets. For pros and cons, check our comparison of bumper plates vs. iron plates.
Do I need special setup to use a landmine or battle rope at home?
A landmine needs a sturdy anchor (rack mount, post, or heavy plate) and a barbell; battle ropes require an anchor point and enough floor space for waves and slams. REP’s free-standing landmine and sleeved battle ropes are designed for durable, home-friendly setups.
