What equipment gives a personal trainer the most exercise variety per square foot?
A functional trainer or cable machine covers the widest range of exercises in the smallest footprint, which is why it's usually the anchor piece for one-on-one and small-group training studios.
What should a mobile personal trainer carry for in-home sessions?
A set of adjustable dumbbells or kettlebells, resistance bands and a turf strip or sled cover most in-home programming without needing a vehicle full of equipment.
Is used equipment a good fit for a personal training studio on a budget?
Yes — a personal training studio typically sees lighter, more supervised use than a full commercial gym, so used functional trainers, benches and free weights hold up well and keep startup costs down.
