Parallettes:
You can either make your own, using sections of PCV pipe and some really basic DIY skills, or you can buy a set. Personally, we’re not sure how long that PVC will last, so we recommend you invest in Powercore Parallettes (R600, mifitness.co.za)
Pull Up Bar:
You will be able to work on your arms, back and core whenever you want. This is the first, and most important, part of any home gym. Make sure you install it properly, or it won’t be a great start to you training year. Get the Wall Mounted Pull Up Bar (R1 195.01, rebelstore.co.za)
