You don’t need to go to the gym for an effective workout. In fact, I’ve accumulated workout gear over the years that makes my home workouts just as effective as using machines, barbells or even a Pilates reformer.

Working out with your bodyweight is a fantastic place to start. But if you want to build strength and ensure your workouts remain challenging (which is key to making progress), investing in some equipment can really help.

I’ve come to rely on BetterMe’s workout gear for my home workouts. Its products are particularly useful for Pilates routines.

I use the BetterMe Pilates ball, sliders and ring in almost all of my at-home Pilates workouts, and they've helped me build strength, as well as working on my balance and stability.

Plus, they look great and they’re easy to store.

BetterMe’s Black Friday sale has discounts on almost all of its products, so it’s the perfect time to upgrade your home workout setup. Here are my top picks.
