Buying guides
Which one, for the room you actually have
A hub weighs a whole family against itself. A guide takes one question instead — a figure to spend, a first bar for someone who has never loaded one, what to buy before the floor is laid — and answers it with a short ordered list and the reasoning that produced the order.
- Four purchases, in sequence
A first home gym, in the order it should be bought
The order matters more than the brand: something to load, something to load it with, something to lie on, and something to fail into.
- It has to disappear
A living room that is also a gym, four hours a week
Everything here folds, rolls, hangs or packs — and each review says whether the maker published the folded size or only claimed it folds.
