After years of trying every “miracle” piece of equipment touted as a must-have upgrade to my home gym, I’m starting to wonder if we’ve all just been sold overpriced clutter. Sure, the new-age gadgets and smart machines looked impressive on paper, but in practice, many collected more dust than reps. Which equipment have you come to regret investing in? Was that ultra-fancy treadmill that ended up being used only for fixing shelf height, or that multi-function machine that promised everything but delivered little?
I’m especially curious about items that once had rave reviews but eventually just gathered cobwebs. Let’s be honest, has anyone else bought into the hype of a revolutionary device only to find it more trouble than it’s worth? Share the loads you’ve axed from your routines and that painful lesson, so maybe the rest of us can avoid chasing every shiny new trend.
