Transform Your Life with Vitality Shed Tools.

TRX Trainer & Resistance Bands: A Must For Your Home Gym. The TRX system is a space-saving, full body training tool that uses your own body weight to build strength, balance, and core stability. Paired with a set of resistance bands (ranging from X-Lite to Heavy), you've got everything you need for scalable workouts - no bulky equipment required. From rehab to high intensity strength training, this combo deliversreal results for every fitness level, right from your living room. 

Kettlebells offer a full-body, functional workout that combines strength, cardio, and mobility in a space-efficient, affordable package. It’s versatile, scalable, and provides a time-efficient way to build strength and endurance.3

You’ve got lots of options when it comes to kettlebell exercises. The kettlebell swing is a go-to that engages the hips, glutes, and core while boosting cardio fitness. You can also use it for goblet squats that focus on the lower body, engaging the core and improving squat form. If you don’t have a set of dumbbells yet, you can use it for single-arm row to target the back while challenging core stability, or hold it while doing Russian twists and strengthening your abs. I recommend having a few different sizes as you progress. 

Like a kettlebell, a medicine ball is versatile and functional. It can be used for a wide range of exercises that engage multiple muscle groups, improve strength, and boost cardiovascular fitness. While kettlebells are primarily used for dynamic movements and resistance training, medicine balls are excellent for explosive, high-intensity movements, like slams, throws, and rotational exercises, that engage the core and enhance coordination, stability, and power. 

Medicine balls are also great for improving functional fitness, flexibility, and mobility through exercises like wall balls, Russian twists, or partner throws. Like kettlebells, they come in various weights, allowing for scalable intensity, and their relatively low cost makes them accessible for home gyms. Both are versatile tools for full-body workouts, making them complementary to one another in a balanced fitness routine.

A weight bench is a must-have for any home gym because it gives you a solid, stable foundation for key strength exercises like bench presses, dumbbell work, and bodyweight moves. It helps you maintain proper form, especially when lifting heavier weights, and expands your workout options by targeting multiple muscle groups, from the chest to the shoulders. When choosing a weight bench look for one that’s adjustable to offer flat, incline, and decline positions for versatility. Make sure it has a solid weight capacity, comfortable padding, and is made from durable materials for stability during lifts. Consider the size for your space and whether it folds for easy storage as well.

Dumbbells are one of the most versatile, effective tools in your work out space. Whether you're building strength, increasing mobility, or toning muscle, they allow for a full range of motion and functional movement. Perfect for all fitness levels, dumb bells support everything from rehab to resistance training-making them the foundation of a balanced, results-driven home or studio gym. 

An exercise ball challenges your body by providing an unstable surface that strengthens your core, improves balance, and enhances overall fitness. It can be used for a wide range of exercises, from basic crunches to advanced planks and push-ups, and is suitable for all fitness levels. 

Beyond core work, it can help you improve your flexibility and posture, and its low-impact nature makes it joint-friendly.

You’ll want to choose the right size ball for your height to ensure proper form. Here are some handy guidelines:

• 5’0″ and under: 45 cm ball
• 5’1″ to 5’7″: 55 cm ball
• 5’8″ to 6’1″: 65 cm ball

Your thighs should be parallel to the ground when seated, and your knees should be at a 90-degree angle. Consider the ball’s inflation level, too—firmer balls are larger and more challenging, while slightly deflated balls offer more stability. If you have a larger frame, opt for a slightly bigger ball for added durability and stability.
