Free weights are a great piece of fitness equipment and ideal for home gyms of any size since they don’t take up a ton of space, are affordable, and provide a full body workout.
Before purchasing free weights, there are a few basic ideas you should keep in mind. Free weights come in a variety of sizes, shapes, and materials. A single set of weights won’t be too expensive, but many people want to purchase multiple dumbbells or kettlebells, or Olympics weight sets. We’ve got a great blog on the various types of dumbbells and how to select the right ones for your home gym here.
