A Q & A WITH FITNESS SUPERSTORE CONT .
Talk us through how differing budgets work when setting up a home gym , from the basics to the high end , crème de la crème of fitness equipment .
Of course , if you have the luxury of a large budget to work with , you can afford to pick and choose from the biggest and best the fitness industry has to offer . Options like the TuffStuff CXT-200 Core Multi-Functional Trainer ( complete with additional Smith Attachment ) for total-body strength training , or the NordicTrack S22i Studio Bike ( featuring a huge 22 ” touchscreen ) for your cardio hit .
Don ’ t worry if you ’ re working with a limited budget though ! There are excellent spacesaving options that still deliver exceptional home workouts comparable to gym-quality equipment . Tackle weightlifting on the Body Power Compact Smith Machine , available for just £ 299 , and swap the NordicTrack for the Body Power SP . IC14 Indoor Studio Cycle , priced at £ 219 !
Why is it important to you to only stock the very best quality equipment ?
Your training regime deserves the best equipment possible - machines and accessories that are able to withstand whatever you can throw at it . That ’ s why we only stock products from the biggest , world-renowned brands at unbeatable prices like Life Fitness , Bowflex , Matrix and more to help you hit your fitness goals from home without worry .
In a world post-Covid pandemic , do you believe the way we exercise needed to adapt in order to survive the vast shift in society we ’ ve experienced ?
Absolutely . With gyms closed people were forced to change the way they were training . We noticed customers start to favour larger , heavier weight sets and commercial-grade cardio machines that allow for progression , creating a long-term setup at home as they lean away from the busy gym environment .
Workouts are now more digital than ever , too . You ’ re spoilt for choice with the number of fitness apps on the market , meaning you can experience the group classes you ’ ve missed the most from the gym in the safety and comfort of your living room .

Do you believe a good fitness routine can have a positive effect on not just your physical health but also your mental health ?
Yes , the benefits of regular workouts are not just physical . Exercise is proven to boost the release of endorphins , leaving you feeling happier and more relaxed , while improving your confidence and self-esteem . A good fitness routine will also give you more energy throughout the day when you need it the most , and promote a better , deeper sleep too .
