No gym? No problem. Staying active when the gym is closed has never been easier with the amount of space-saving, innovative and multifunctional equipment options available on the market. But building a “gym” from the comfort of your home doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice your precious floor space. We’ve found the most compact exercise equipment that will take your workout routine to the next level.

Earned Aqua Bag

If you’re used to weight training at the gym, a pair of dumbbells or kettlebells probably won’t cut it. Launched just in time during the third wave, the Earned Aqua Bag has become the quintessential home gym equipment. And no, you don’t need to be a heavy lifter to reap the benefits of the aqua bag. You can fill up as much water as you want by making use of the side marker. Available in 20KG and 37KG, the best part is that it’s foldable so you save space too.

Price: HK$450-475
