    I figured I wasn't using my €310 a year gym membership so decided to get some kit to put in the garage so easily accessible. So far I have:

    *Dumbbells
    *Exercise Ball
    *Medicine Ball
    *Powerband
    *Foam Roller
    *Gym Mat
    *skipping rope
    *Bike with turbo trainer

    Anybody give me any recommendations on must haves for a home gym that don't take up much space.

    Thinking bench and kettlebells next.

    Barbell, bench, and squat rack would have been my first three purchases.

    Can't believe nobody has mentioned it yet- a pull-up bar! You could almost ditch all of the other equipment if you had one, with the exception of the dumbbells
