Find All You Need for a Home Gym — From Ellipticals to Water Bottles

At Lowe’s, finding what you need to create a home gym has never been easier. Whether you’re looking for the best home gym equipment, fitness trackers, dumbbells or other gym accessories, we’ve got you covered.

Your Favorite Workouts, at Home

The best part of a home gym is being able to work out whenever your schedule allows, without a commute. And whether you’re an avid runner, a yogi, a cyclist or a fan of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) workouts, we carry the right gym equipment to help you bring your workouts home. Choose from our great selection of stationary bikes, strength training machines, fitness towers and more.

Need some motivation? Consider treadmills, bikes and ellipticals that come with iFit memberships included so you can tune into virtual instructor-led workouts from your living room or garage. From the best exercise bikes to the best ellipticals, we’ve got the perfect exercise equipment to suit your lifestyle.

Home Gym Must-Haves

When assembling a home gym, you’ll want to consider several factors. The first is flooring. Ideally, you’ll want to lay down rubber mats to make floor workouts more comfortable. Lighting is also important. At Lowe’s, we have a great selection of industrial track lights that can turn dark spaces into bright, safe workout areas.

Mini fridges also make a great addition to a home gym, as they’re perfect for storing water bottles, sports drinks and cold towels. If you don’t want to invest in a small refrigerator, check out Igloo hard coolers to keep your drinks cold. Or consider Camp-Zero coolers. Be sure to shop our wide selection of coolers with wheels for easy portability.

Small, At-Home Gym Accessories

Lack the space for a full at-home gym? No problem. At Lowe’s, we carry a variety of popular small essentials like medicine balls, resistance bands, yoga mats, jump ropes and pull-up bars. We even carry fitness trackers to help you monitor progress in your home and outdoor workouts. Choose from a variety of adult and kids fitness trackers to find the best fitness tracker for you and your family.

Water Bottles and Jugs

Staying hydrated during workouts is extremely important. We’ve got many kinds of water bottles to help you do just that. Shop our selection of basic water bottles, insulated water bottles, water bottles with lids and straws, and options that are free of bisphenol A (BPA). Popular choices include S’well water bottles, Contigo water bottles and Stanley water bottles.

At Lowe’s, we also carry premium water jugs like the Stanley Thermos and Stanley Coffee Thermos — which have advanced cooling technologies. Keep your beverages cool for up to four hours and iced for up to 17 hours.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Which types of fitness equipment are best for home gyms?

A: The best fitness equipment for your home depends on your specific fitness needs. That’s why our selection includes equipment for everything from casual exercise to intense fitness programs. Options include yoga mats and resistance bands, as well as stationary bikes, treadmills and ellipticals, among other equipment. Contact your health care provider before starting a new fitness program to ensure that you aren’t pushing yourself too hard.

Q: How long does ice last in an insulated water bottle?

A: Generally, ice lasts between four to 18 hours in insulated water bottles. Melting time varies based on factors like bottle brand and material, ice size and the temperature of your surroundings. Plastic water bottles usually stay cooler than stainless steel water bottles because plastic conducts heat less efficiently. Stainless steel water bottles are best for keeping your beverages at room temperature.

Q: How do I keep my portable cooler cold?

A: It’s easy to keep your portable cooler cold on hot days. Start by pre-chilling food and beverages to help keep your ice cold. Place frozen water bottles in open spaces to help keep your ice from melting. Consider putting your ice in your cooler after all food and beverages are in place. Waiting keeps the ice in your freezer longer, helping to prevent melting. When you’re outside, place your cooler in a shaded area, such as under an umbrella. Also, keep water in your cooler as the ice melts because water acts as an insulator and helps keep everything else cool.
