Hi, anyone here have a home gym set-up in a fairly small space? I've got about 110x260cm to play with and wondering it there's any decent all-in-ones for working all muscle sets to build strength.

I already have a Bowflex adjustable kettlebell which is superb and have got a lot of use out of it, but while there are hundreds of work-out tutorials at all weights to give every muscle group a thorough work-out, I'm starting to find it a bit boring now and don't want to start slacking. smile

Blimey that is certainly a small space!

Yeah, that's tight!

Is that the full wall-to-wall limit, or the available floor area within a larger room?

I'm not clued up on the gym equipment terminology; I suppose the term I am looking for is multi-gym - not racks with bars, but the type where all the weights are blocks in a stack and you use a pin at the appropriate point to set your weight and it's all done via cords mounted top and bottom.

I did used to have a Concept 2 rower in the space which fit fine, so was hoping a multi-gym and bench would also fit ? It will be close to a wall on one side but open on the other. I want it in this room as there's a big opening window which gets plenty of cool breeze without needing a load of powered fans.

Buy a fold up bench off amazon for about £80.
And a load of hex rubber dumbbells used off ebay.

Can do chest, back, triceps, biceps, shoulders, etc.

Bench will go in length wise and should be wide enough space to do chest press, etc.

Something like one of these?

Personally if I had your space I'd go for a walk mounted half rack with a barbell and bench
