Start with the space and who will train in it. Most home gyms are built around a rack and a bench; commercial gyms add machines so members can train safely on their own.

Strength equipment in South Africa
MiFitness supplies strength equipment for home gyms, personal training studios, corporate wellness centres, estates and commercial gyms across South Africa. Our range covers power racks and squat cages, weight benches, Smith machines, multi-gyms and functional trainers, cable machines, plate-loaded machines and selectorised machines, from brands including Shua, Powercore and Torque.
For a home gym, a power rack with an adjustable bench, an Olympic barbell and weight plates gives you the most training for the space. Add dumbbells and kettlebells for accessory work, and rubber gym flooring to protect your floor. If you train alone, a Smith machine or functional trainer lets you lift heavy safely without a spotter.

We plan the floor with a 3D gym design, deliver nationwide and service what we sell with our own technicians.

Strength equipment questions
What strength equipment do I need for a home gym?
Start with a power rack, an adjustable bench, an Olympic barbell and a set of weight plates. That covers squats, bench press, overhead press, rows and pull-ups. Add dumbbells, a cable attachment or a functional trainer as you go.
Power rack, Smith machine or functional trainer?
A power rack gives you free-weight training with safety bars. A Smith machine guides the bar on rails, so it's easier to train alone. A functional trainer adds cable pulleys for hundreds of exercises. All-in-one trainers like the Powercore Stealth Functional Smith Trainer combine them.
What is the difference between plate-loaded and selectorised machines?
Plate-loaded machines use weight plates you add by hand and feel closer to free weights. Selectorised machines have a built-in weight stack you change with a pin, which is quicker for busy gyms and beginners.
How much space do I need for a power rack?
Allow the rack's footprint plus about 1 m on each side to load plates and walk around it, and check your ceiling height for pull-ups.
Do you supply commercial gyms?
Yes. We supply gyms, hotels, estates and corporates with full strength lines, plan the space with a 3D gym design and service the equipment with our own technicians.
Can I pay in instalments?
Yes. You can choose Payflex, Float or Mobicred at checkout, subject to their approval. See our finance page for details.
Can I see the equipment before I buy?
Yes. Visit our showrooms in North Riding (Northlands Corner), Fourways Mall, Sunninghill or Maitland, Cape Town. Call 011 704 6711 first to check what's on the floor.
