Here’s what I would recommend for starting home training balancing cost and utility. Obviously, if you afford all of it and have the space, just do that.
1-pullup bar or rings
2-resistance bands
3-dumbbells (shop for used, if possible, if space is tight try these)
4-adjustable bench (same, used benches go for as low as $30)
5-barbell set (time to start deadlifting)
6-power rack (don’t go cheap here)
great recommendation! anecdotally, i bought and used these for almost a year before deciding to replace them with the core fitness adjustable dumbbells because the bowflex dumbbells (at a 17" fixed length) are a bit too unwieldy for me (5'6" 130lb woman) while the core fitness dumbbells vary in length from 9-3/8” to 14-3/8" depending on how much weight you have on them. only downside is you can only adjust the weight in 5lb increments as opposed to the bowflex's 2.5lb but, for me, they are still much better for maintaining proper form so i might recommend them over the others. additionally, my husband (6'2" 170lb man) also prefers these over the bowflex because they are less awkward for him to maneuver as well.
If you aren't going to drop them the Core Fitness ones at Dicks or Amazon are cheaper and easier to adjust the weight (spin the single handle rather than pushing buttons and adjusting 2 dials for each dumbbell) https://www.amazon.com/Core-Fitness®-Adjustable-Affordable-Dumbbells/dp/B01J8S38LW/
I was wanting some as well, but the reviews on the Bowflex and NordicTrack ones made me a bit nervous - too many people talked about the way the weights shifted when you lift them, and some people even mentioned that plates had started falling off over time. (!!) I’ve never tried the Powerblocks, but the square shape was a little off-putting. I just wasn’t sure if they’d be comfortable without trying them first.
I ended up buying these adjustable dumbbells by Core Fitness. I was pretty hesitant to buy a brand that I personally hadn’t heard of before, but the reviews on Amazon seemed good. I also really like that when you increase the weight, the plates add on to the ends - basically less weight means a smaller (length) dumbbell, which isn’t the case for the Bowflex or NordicTrack.
I have been VERY happy with them so far! Very very minimal movement in the plates when lifting. And the only negative thing - which I was aware of from reading the reviews - was that over 40lbs, the tray wants to stay attached to the dumbbell when you go to lift it up. No big deal, really...just put your toes on the edge of the tray and it lifts right off.
Edit - I had screw-on-lock adjustable dumbbells before this and hated using them. My husband and I are usually working out together, so we’re either constantly changing each other’s weights, or having to rearrange our routine to wait until the other is completely finished. Way too time consuming and just generally a PITA. These take about 1-2 seconds to change the weight, I swear I wish I had bought them months ago.
