Introducing the world’s most luxurious gym equipment — sleek, chic and designed by fashion houses and fitness experts for those who want to look great on their way to looking great.
Creating your at-home gym of dreams and curating a personal workout haven significantly increases your chances of sticking to the fitness session. After all, the classic excuse of missing your 6pm spin class because you had to “work late” doesn’t really fly if all you need to do is walk downstairs.
An at-home gym is also ideal for those who prefer to exercise solo. Although, if we had ample space we would most definitely be inviting chums to join — after all, swanky new gym equipment deserves to be shown off.
While home gyms used to consist of a sad skipping rope, rundown resistance bands and discoloured dumbbells, we’re pleased to report that things are looking far more luxe and high-tech these days. Brands such as Technogym, NOHRD and WaterRower have reimagined classic machines, crafting sleek, modern designs from oak, carbon-fibre and supple leather that will instantly elevate even the darkest and dingiest of workout spaces. Plus, the latest gym craze of smart fitness mirrors offers all the benefits of a personal trainer without the need of any awkward socialising. Sign us up.
From designer yoga mats to classy cross trainers, keep scrolling to see the best luxury gym equipment money can buy.

Ciclotte bike
The original Ciclotte bike was intended to be a one-wheeled road bike for cyclists living in the city. After its design gained popularity among interior designers (the original model became a permanent object in Triennale di Milano, the museum of Italian design, in 2007), the Ciclotte evolved into an indoor spin bike. This model has a stylish transparent design with a carbon-fibre frame. It features five spinning modes and connects to any mobile device via Bluetooth.
