Treadmills are definitely a premium home gym equipment. Not many households have a treadmill as it is expensive and many prefer to run outside. In addition, treadmills can take up a lot of space causing many families to never consider getting a treadmill.
However, the benefits of treadmills are aplenty. Studies have shown that people who have treadmills at home tend to run more frequently and for longer duration hence tend to be in better shape and fitter than those who do not. In addition, some treadmills comes with impact and vibration-cancellation mechanisms making running more comfortable and enjoyable.

A fully-functioning, motorised and multi-functional treadmill can cost anywhere between $600 and $1200 depending on the features and the brand.
However, if you love running and would like to do some cardio exercises besides the traditional weight training, a treadmill is the only equipment that would allow you to do that in the comfort of your home.
2. Smith Machine/Power Rack
Love doing heavy weights? Like doing hardcore exercises like benchpress and squats? If your answer is yes to both questions, a smith machine will be indispensable gym equipment in your home.

Usually, barbells are loaded onto the extended rods and weight plates are loaded and unloaded onto it. Most common uses of the smith machine is for squats as it involves very heavy weight which makes it impossible to be lifted onto one’s shoulder by one’s own strength. Thus, the smith machine serve as a spotter. You simply squat down and lean backwards and the bar will roll onto the steel rails.
Bench press can also be performed with the smith machine by placing a bench below the steel rail.
