Introduction
Working out at home doesn’t mean you need a large gym. With the right equipment, you can build strength, improve cardio, and stay consistent — even in a small apartment. Here are the top 5 compact home gym essentials for UK fitness lovers.


1. Foldable Treadmill
A foldable treadmill is perfect for cardio without taking up permanent space. Choose a model with a quiet motor and easy storage so you can slide it under your bed or sofa when not in use.
