Commercial Gym Equipment Store FAQs

Find answers to common questions about our extensive range of fitness equipment here.  

What’s the difference between home gym and commercial gym equipment?


The main difference is matching the gym equipment to how often and how hard you train. Commercial fitness equipment is ideal if you’re:

  • Training hard
  • Lifting serious weight
  • Setting up a gym open to members
  • Looking for equipment that withstands daily, heavy use

Tested to handle heavier loads, commercial gym equipment features thicker frames and reinforced components, designed for daily, rigorous use in busy UK health clubs. On the other hand, a home gym setup may be more practical and space-efficient.

Designed for lighter, occasional workouts, home gym fitness equipment is:

  • Compact
  • Easier to move
  • Built for one or two users who exercise a few times a week

What cardio machine is best for low-impact workouts?


Cardio machines deliver serious results in any gym setup. These low-impact fitness equipment options offer strong cardio benefits without hammering your joints, perfect for anyone going through rehabilitation:

  • Cross trainers are one of the most joint-friendly options, keeping your feet planted to reduce stress on your knees and ankles.
  • Exercise cycles and bikes are another go-to, with seated support that lowers joint strain, making them ideal for steady-state cardio or rehab-style training.
  • Rowing machines offer low-impact movement with full-body engagement. You’ll build endurance and strength without the pounding you get from running.

The best option depends on your fitness goal. Exercise bikes and cross trainers are great for gentle, consistent cardio, while rowing machines step it up to work your entire body.

What kettlebell weight should I start with?


Start lighter than you think. Most beginners benefit from having three kettlebells:

  1. A lighter weight for controlled exercises like presses and single-leg work.

  2. A mid-range weight for dynamic movements.

  3. A heavier option for squats and deadlifts.

New to strength training?

  • Women generally begin with a weight range of 6 kg to 12 kg.
  • Men typically start at around 12 kg - 16 kg.

Stronger or more experienced lifters and athletes may go heavier.

Expert tips:

  • If you already train with dumbbells, use that as a guide. Although your kettlebell weight for swings or compound moves may differ from your pressing weight.
  • Always remember, form comes first. So, master the movement, then level up the load.
