In Switzerland, around CHF 500 is enough for a setup with which you can train seriously three to four times a week: two adjustable dumbbells, a sturdy flat bench, some floor protection. At around CHF 1,500, this turns into a weight room with a barbell, 90 kg of plates, a squat rack, and an adjustable bench, and the selection within each product group is taken off your hands by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/buying-guide-main-page\/\">Buying Guides for Each Category<\/a> From around CHF 3,000, what defines a gym is added: a four-post power rack, continuous rubber flooring, and a cardio machine. Everything above that is comfort, not necessity. Which level suits you depends less on your bank account than on two questions: Do you want to train with a barbell, and does your space have the ceiling height for it?<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"ffm-table-wrap\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr><th>Budget<\/th><th>That&#x27;s what&#x27;s left in the room at the end<\/th><th>Space requirement<\/th><th>border<\/th><\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>CHF 500<\/td><td>2 adjustable dumbbells, flat bench, floor protection, jump rope<\/td><td>from 4 m\u00b2<\/td><td>No barbell squats<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>CHF 1,500<\/td><td>20 kg barbell, 70 kg bumper plates, squat rack, adjustable bench, drop zone<\/td><td>from 8 m\u00b2<\/td><td>No cardio, no continuous floor<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>CHF 3,000<\/td><td>Power rack, barbell set, professional bench, 12 m\u00b2 rubber flooring, rowing machine<\/td><td>from 12 m\u00b2<\/td><td>No cable pull machines<\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"ffm-section\">\n<p class=\"ffm-eyebrow\">Budget 1<\/p>\n<h2>A Home Gym for CHF 500: What You Really Get for That Price<\/h2>\n<p>For CHF 500, you don't buy half measures, but a complete dumbbell setup. Two <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/product-2\/adjustable-dumbbell-24-kg-adjustable-dumbbells\/\">Adjustable dumbbells ranging from 2.5 to 24 kg<\/a> cover 15 weight levels and replace an entire dumbbell rack, taking up about 0.1 m\u00b2 of floor space per dumbbell. In addition, a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/product-2\/atx-flat-bench-compact-flat-bench\/\">compact flat bench<\/a>, so you can perform bench presses, rows, and shoulder presses with proper form, and a few floor mats under the workout area. This allows you to train your chest, back, shoulders, arms, and legs through their full range of motion. What you won\u2019t get for this price: squats and deadlifts with a heavy barbell. If your goals are muscle building, back health, and general fitness, that\u2019s no loss. If you\u2019re planning to do powerlifting or Olympic lifting, CHF 500 is the wrong starting point, and you\u2019d be better off saving a little more.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"ffm-table-wrap\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr><th>Position<\/th><th>Product<\/th><th>Quantity<\/th><th>Price<\/th><\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>Dumbbells<\/td><td>Adjustable Dumbbell 24 kg<\/td><td>2<\/td><td>CHF 230<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Bank<\/td><td>ATX Flat Bench Compact<\/td><td>1<\/td><td>CHF 175<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Flooring<\/td><td>Foam Floor Mat 60 x 60 x 1.2 cm<\/td><td>12 (about 4 m\u00b2)<\/td><td>CHF 60<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Condition<\/td><td>Ergo Speed Jump Rope<\/td><td>1<\/td><td>CHF 15<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Kettlebell<\/td><td>Cast Iron Kettlebell, 16 kg<\/td><td>1<\/td><td>CHF 57.60<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Total<\/strong><\/td><td><\/td><td><\/td><td><strong>approximately CHF 540<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ffm-card\">\n<figure class=\"ffm-card-media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/F-21645_Verstellbare-Kurzhantel-24-kg_0-20250922-111017-600x600.jpg\" alt=\"Adjustable 24 kg dumbbell with black twist mechanism\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"ffm-card-body\">\n<span class=\"ffm-badge\">Core of the 500 budget<\/span>\n<h3>Adjustable Dumbbell 24 kg<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"ffm-specs\">\n<li>2.5 to 24 kg in 15 increments<\/li>\n<li>42 x 21 x 20.5 cm, approximately 0.1 m\u00b2 footprint<\/li>\n<li>grip diameter 35 mm, steel core<\/li>\n<li>Item F-21645, CHF 115 each<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>One dumbbell replaces 15 individual dumbbells.

This covers squats, bench presses, deadlifts, and overhead presses. You have to be honest about two points: 90 kg is too little for deadlifts for many people after one to two years, and a rack requires a ceiling height of around 2.10 m plus clearance for the pull-up bar. Both can be retrofitted, one with weight plates, the other not.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"ffm-table-wrap\">\n<table>\n<thead>\n<tr><th>Position<\/th><th>Product<\/th><th>Quantity<\/th><th>Price<\/th><\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n<tbody>\n<tr><td>Barbell and plates<\/td><td>Bumper Plate Set + Olympic Bar, 90 kg<\/td><td>1<\/td><td>CHF 395<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Rack<\/td><td>Home Rack Essential<\/td><td>1<\/td><td>CHF 295<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Bank<\/td><td>Adjustable Bench, Professional Adjustable Incline Bench<\/td><td>1<\/td><td>CHF 295<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Drop-Zone<\/td><td>Connect+ Flooring 500 x 500 x 20 mm<\/td><td>16 (4 m\u00b2)<\/td><td>CHF 240<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td>Dumbbells<\/td><td>Adjustable Dumbbell 24 kg<\/td><td>2<\/td><td>CHF 230<\/td><\/tr>\n<tr><td><strong>Total<\/strong><\/td><td><\/td><td><\/td><td><strong>approximately CHF 1,455<\/strong><\/td><\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ffm-card\">\n<figure class=\"ffm-card-media\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/wp-content\/uploads\/F-57182_Bumper-Plate-Set-Olympic-Bar-90-Kg_0-1-20251123-225040-600x600.jpg\" alt=\"Bumper Plate Set with Olympic barbell and collars\" width=\"600\" height=\"600\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/figure>\n<div class=\"ffm-card-body\">\n<span class=\"ffm-badge\">Largest item in the 1,500 budget<\/span>\n<h3>Bumper Plate Set + Olympic Bar, 90 kg<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"ffm-specs\">\n<li>20 kg barbell, 220 cm, needle bearings, capacity up to 450 kg<\/li>\n<li>70 kg Bumper Plates: 2 x 5, 2 x 10, 2 x 20 kg<\/li>\n<li>Shore A 90, diameter 45 cm, bore 51 mm<\/li>\n<li>Article number F-57182, CHF 395<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Barbells, plates, and two Lock-Jaw collars are coordinated and cheaper as a set than purchased individually.

The weight is already paid for; now you are paying for stability, surface area, and endurance. A four-post power rack replaces the small home rack, handles higher loads, and accommodates accessories like dip handles or a landmine. The second major expense is the flooring: 12 m\u00b2 of continuous solid rubber costs more than the rack, but makes the difference between a workout corner and a room where you can drop weights without thinking about the neighbors. Add a cardio machine, usually a rowing machine because it takes up little space and engages the upper body. Which rack makes sense depends on ceiling height and floor space.

A <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/product-2\/floor-connect-500-x-500-x-20-mm\/\">Connect+ Rubber flooring with 20 mm thickness<\/a> Prices start at CHF 15 per panel in the 500 x 500 mm size; you\u2019ll need four panels per square meter. For 12 m\u00b2, that comes to about CHF 648 with a volume discount\u2014which is more than the price of many racks. You can save money by only installing cushioning under the rack and dumbbells and leaving the rest of the room empty. The second expense is shipping: racks, benches, and weight plate sets must be shipped via a freight carrier and cannot be sent as package mail. On top of that, there are small parts that are cheap individually but add up significantly: weight racks, barbell racks, fasteners, and floor edging. Factor in about a ten percent buffer for any budget.<\/p>\n<p>Which flooring thickness is sufficient for what is not a matter of taste: a thin mat is enough under a rowing machine, but not under the drop zone of a barbell. The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/flooring-buying-guide-2\/\">Flooring buying guide<\/a> classifies thicknesses from 6 to 30 mm according to load, and in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/category-2\/floor\/fitness-floor-protection-mat\/\">Category: Fitness Floor Mat<\/a> You&#x27;ll see the more affordable alternatives, such as foam sheets starting at CHF 5 or foam rolls.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"ffm-section\">\n<p class=\"ffm-eyebrow\">Priorities<\/p>\n<h2>Where saving pays off and where it doesn't<\/h2>\n<p>Save money on the floor, small parts, and aesthetics. Don\u2019t skimp on the rack, bench, and barbell. The reason is simple: the floor and stands can be upgraded or replaced at any time without posing a safety risk. A wobbly rack or a bench with padding that\u2019s too thin, on the other hand, is with you through every heavy set and will eventually become the reason you stop working out. It\u2019s similar with the bar: a ball-bearing Olympic bar feels different during deadlifts and snatches than a rigid, cheap bar, and you\u2019ll notice the difference from the very first set. On the other hand, you don\u2019t have to buy everything at once. If you start with dumbbells and upgrade after a year, you won\u2019t lose anything because you\u2019ll still be using those dumbbells afterward.<\/p>\n<p>When the budget is tight, it's worth taking a look at before buying new. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/category-2\/outlet\/\">Outlet with clearance items and second-hand goods<\/a>. Studio equipment from liquidations is often significantly cheaper than home equipment from catalogs, even though the quality is the same.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n\n<section class=\"ffm-section\">\n<p class=\"ffm-eyebrow\">Classification<\/p>\n<h2>What is worth it for whom<\/h2>\n<div class=\"ffm-profiles\">\n<div class=\"ffm-profile\">\n<h3>Apartment, little space, entry-level<\/h3>\n<p>Stick to CHF 500. Two adjustable dumbbells and a bench cover the entire upper body and legs without turning a room into a gym.

Add shipping and a planning buffer. Adjust quantities and selection rather than treating a budget limit as a complete offer.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"ffm-faq\">\n<summary>Is a home gym financially worth it?<\/summary>\n<p>That depends on your subscription, so calculate the annual cost of your membership and compare it to your budget. However, the travel time is usually more crucial: anyone who needs 40 minutes for the round trip and works out three times a week spends around 100 hours a year just traveling. The money is rarely the argument, but the time almost always is.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"ffm-faq\">\n<summary>How much space do I need for a home gym?<\/summary>\n<p>Room area is a separate planning question. Equipment footprints alone do not include movement, loading or clear access. First check your floor plan in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/set-up-a-home-gym\/\">room-planning guide<\/a>before ordering from this cost list.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"ffm-faq\">\n<summary>What do I need at a minimum for a home gym?<\/summary>\n<p>An adjustable weight, a sturdy rack, and a floor that can handle the load. Specifically: two adjustable dumbbells, a flat bench, a few mats. Everything else is an expansion. Anyone who sticks with this for six months will know exactly which direction the next investment should be.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"ffm-faq\">\n<summary>How much does a good rack for a home gym cost?<\/summary>\n<p>A rack for home use starts at around CHF 295, a half rack or foldable model is CHF 390, and an enclosed power rack is CHF 490. Prices go up to multi-stations with cable pulleys starting at CHF 2,490. For most home gyms, the price range between CHF 300 and 500 is sufficient.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"ffm-faq\">\n<summary>Do I need a special floor in my home gym?<\/summary>\n<p>As soon as weight is set down or dropped, yes. A thin mat is enough under a rowing machine, but under a barbell you need at least 20 mm of solid rubber. Without cushioning, the subfloor, equipment, and neighborhood peace suffer. It's cheaper if you only cushion the drop zone instead of the whole room.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n\n<details class=\"ffm-faq\">\n<summary>Can I build a home gym step by step?<\/summary>\n<p>Yes, and usually that is the wiser sequence. Start with dumbbells and a bench, add a barbell and plates after a few months, and then a rack and flooring. None of it becomes obsolete with the next step, and along the way you realize which exercises you actually do.<\/p>\n<\/details>\n<\/section>\n\n<div class=\"ffm-cta\">\n<h2>Do you already know which level is right for you?<\/h2>\n<p>If you&#x27;re unsure about a specific product category, the buying guides compare the different options, including dimensions, materials, and clear recommendations.<\/p>\n<a class=\"ffm-btn ffm-btn-primary\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fitness-flohmarkt.ch\/en\/buying-guide-main-page\/\">View all buying guides<\/a>\n<\/div>\n\n<div class=\"ffm-box\">\n<p class=\"ffm-box-label\">Regarding the prices<\/p>\n<p>The tables are calculation examples as of 26 October 2026, including VAT and excluding shipping.
