Bodyweight accessories: parallel bars, pull-up bars and Push & Pull
Pull-ups, dips and push-ups are among the most effective exercises using your own body weight. The Sveltus Push & Pull bar is a doorframe device that lets you train pull-ups, push-ups, sit-ups and dips without drilling. The doorway pull-up bar is adjustable and quick to put up and take down, while the wall-mounted version is the permanent solution. With the Parallel Fitness Bars (72 cm, set of 2 made from steel) you can train dips, L-sits, push-ups and advanced bodyweight exercises.
Agility and athletics: ladders, hurdles and marker cones
You can train fast legs and clean footwork with the Sveltus agility ladder. It is 5 m long, has 10 adjustable rungs and comes with a bag. The hurdles are available in 15 cm (yellow) and 30 cm (blue) for jumping power and footwork, and the basic and pole set is a modular obstacle system made from lightweight plastic for coordination, mobility and strength exercises in individual, group or team training.
Order and safety in the home gym
Loose weight plates on the floor are a trip hazard. The METCON rack for weight plates and barbells brings fixed storage into your training, and the magnet clips secure the plates and can be attached magnetically to the rack. You can keep skipping ropes and bands tidy with the Sveltus wall bracket. You will find the matching weight benches and barbells in the categories.
Smart training: Airofit and HyGear Go
The Airofit breathing trainer Pro trains your inhalation and exhalation muscles with individually adjustable resistance and is linked to personalised programmes via the app. The HyGear Go is a smart resistance band system that records your movements using sensors and gives live feedback in the app. You will also find matching power bands and bands from HYGEAR.
Everyday accessories: bag, shaker, yoga
The prfrm. All-Day Duffle Bag is a 2-in-1 travel bag and backpack that suits the gym, business and travel. You will find more bags in Weight bags. With the Assault Fitness Shaker you can make lump-free shakes, and matching products are available in Nutrition. The Yoga Mat and other items in Yoga are designed for floor exercises and mobility.
What to look out for when buying
| Criterion |
What to look out for |
| Space | Measure your door, wall and floor space before buying bars or ladders |
| Mounting | Doorway bars need a stable frame, wall bars need a wall that can bear the load |
| Load capacity | Check the manufacturer's information on maximum weight |
| Material | Steel and robust plastic withstand intensive use |
| Use | At home, in a box or in a studio: this determines size and robustness |
| Combinability | Do the accessories fit the bench, rack, bar and equipment you already have? |
Accessory training for beginners
You can build a complete workout with just a few accessories. Start with controlled repetitions and increase volume and difficulty gradually.
| Week |
Sessions |
Content |
| 1 to 2 | 2 per week | Agility ladder for 10 minutes, plus push-ups and dips on the parallel bars, 3 sets each |
| 3 to 4 | 3 per week | Pull-ups or negative repetitions, low hurdle jumps, ladder alternating with strengthening exercises |
| 5 to 6 | 3 per week | Circuit of ladder, hurdle, parallel bars and pull-up, 3 to 4 rounds |
The plan is an example. Adjust volume and difficulty to your level and schedule rest days.
Care and maintenance
- Wipe down handles, bars and grips after training
- Check doorway bars, wall brackets and screws regularly to make sure they are secure
- Store ladders, bands and ropes dry and tidy
- Check accessories for cracks and wear before use
Avoiding typical mistakes
- Too heavy, too soon: Increase difficulty in small steps
- Doorway bar fitted incorrectly: Check the frame and fixings before every workout
- Accessories without a plan: Choose accessories to match your training goal
- No warm-up: Always warm up before jumps and pull-ups
- Clutter: Loose plates and ropes are trip hazards
Combining training accessories
Accessories come into their own when combined with the right equipment. We also recommend Functional Training, Strength training and Mobility & Regeneration. You can find out more about the manufacturers under Brands, for example Sveltus and METCON.
