This is a list of exercise equipment, consisting of gear designed for physical exercise, strength training, calisthenics, flexibility, and physical fitness activities.
Neck trainers – also known as neck strengthening devices or neck strengtheners, are devices designed to strengthen the neck muscles and improve mobility, flexibility, and posture through targeted stretches and strengthening exercises.[1] They are commonly used in athletic training, physical therapy, and rehabilitation to enhance neck stability, increase muscular endurance, and support recovery from—or prevention of—neck injuries.
Grip: Gym chalk, gloves (the use of gloves during weight training is controversial. Some believe gloves improve grip, while others believe the extra material between the skin and bar worsens grip. In either case, grip strength must be trained to improve performance.[5][6])
Sling shots
Shoes (specifically made for Olympic weightlifting, squats, deadlifts, overhead press, etc.)
Belts (10 mm, 13 mm; small, medium, large; prong belts, lever belts)
Dip bar, U-shaped bar designed for being gripped by the hands while performing the dip exercise
Exercise balls, often soft, elastic and filled with air, used in physical therapy, athletic training and exercise, and sometimes also for weight training
BOSU ball, an inflated rubber hemisphere ("half-ball") attached to a rigid platform, used for balance training
Medicine ball, a weighted ball whose diameter is about a shoulder-width, often used for rehabilitation and strength training
Plyo box – a box used for plyometric exercises, which are a type of explosive power, like for example jumping
Power tower (knee raise station) – used for abdominal exercises since little arm strength is needed and the movement occurs in the hips and torso. Commonly comes with a backrest and forearm rests with vertical handles at the ends of the rests.
↑Thieme, Trevor. "How Bulgarian Bags Can Help You Get a Killer Workout",Men's Health, March 16, 2020. Accessed March 24, 2023. "Shaped like a crescent moon and inspired by the goat-and-sheep-hefting prowess of shepherds, the Bulgarian bag is essentially a re-engineered sandbag. Instead of containing a single bladder of sand, they're usually filled with individually wrapped sand packets and padded with wool to create a solid, curved (typically goat leather) sack that's more stable than a traditional duffel-shaped sandbag."
