The 11 Best Luxury Gym Equipment Brands

The 11 Best Luxury Gym Equipment Brands

First, I’ll pass the mic to Esquire’s commerce editor, Luke Guillory. Who has a big opinion here.“I think this could be a one-brand story. Go to any luxury hotel—we do it all the time, new properties and the long-standing ones—and check out the gym; I’m willing to bet it’s stocked with Technogym. From treadmills, to squat cages, to the new and very difficult to find in-stock pilates reformer, Technogym is best-in-class.“The short of it is that it’s a design company. Based in Cesena, Italy, the brand has a long history of supplying equipment for the Olympics, various Formula 1 teams and drivers, and Italian soccer clubs. I can make a joke that it’s the Ferrari of workout equipment, but that’s technically a reality here. A lot of Technogym’s modern design is automotive inspired, and it’s not abnormal for a Technogym design employee to have done stints in automotive.“Like in cars, there’s a focus on tactility. Everything you touch—leather bench or powder-coated squat guards—is considered. Yes, you can easily rack up 100-grand worth of equipment, and hotels spend on this stuff by the millions. But you saw the word luxury in the title of this story, right?”This is the first of a few smart gyms we are going to offer up. These screen-integrated all-in-one home gyms are popping off everywhere as an at-home replacement for a gym membership. Digital weights, tons of preprogrammed workouts to choose from, adjustable handles, and more make this monster of a machine live up to its name.Our editor-at-large Dave Holmes reviewed the Speediance Gym Monster back in 2025 and said that it made his workouts easier than ever. “If you're in it for the long haul, it will save you the expense, travel time, and general aggravation of a standard gym membership. And if you commit to it for that long, it will get you in surprisingly good shape and give you enough variety to keep you coming back. Divide the $4,100 price tag out over a year, and you're looking at just over $11 a day; meal-prep all year instead of ordering Sweetgreen and you're almost in the green here.”Advertisement - Continue Reading BelowThe Tonal has dominated as the smart home gym of record, and for good reason. It’s a fully immersive strength and cardio machine. The display is a real game-changer that turns “coaching” into more than just generalized tips. With Tonal, it’s all about form and making sure when you’re spending the time working out, that you’re doing it right. The on-screen trainer will suggest adjustments in real time and let you know when it might be time to adjust your weight load. This helps keep you safe, and at the same time proper form ensures you work the muscles you’re meant to be working.It doesn’t come cheap. Between an annual sub and some near-essential add-ons, the cost can start adding up quick, but the proof is in the results. Take our reviewer, who stopped going to the gym because of it and said “for a consumer who’s willing to spend, it’s the full-service replacement. More than any at-home fitness gadget, the Tonal makes working out markedly better—much more than lugging all your stuff to a crowded gym after work.”In our 2026 home awards, we called this the best workout machine of the year. It’s no wonder. With its striking minimalist design, reasonable entry price, and free white-glove installation, there are plenty of valid reasons to go with Amp over these first two systems. You’ll still get real-time workout tracking and coaching, as well as a variety of included workouts ranging across all styles.The accessory rack will only run you an extra $110 and adds enough variety on top of the core experience. If you get that, then you’ll really be able to go for weeks before you need to repeat any routines.Advertisement - Continue Reading BelowThis is a luxe item you don’t need to splurge for. It’s in the same price range as other medicine balls (this one is from $30 to $75 depending on the weight you want), and just as sturdy, but it has a look that we can’t deny. The brown slip-resistant leather will look right at home in between your Ergatta rower and wooden Nohrd bike.This also showed up in this year’s home awards as our new favorite rower. Once again, you only have to look at it to understand where the Esquire seal of approval comes from. The Ergatta Luxe is crafted from cherry wood sourced in the U.S.A. and features a large touchscreen with a ton of options to gamify your rowing workout, whether that’s via an immersive backdrop or an actual competition. What’s seriously cool is how you can compete in races online by asynchronously racing to beat others’ best times. There are even live races a few times a week that let you compete in real time. All of this with an Ergatta subscription of course.When you’re all done for the day, you don’t have to let the Ergatta take up the whole room. You can easily fold it—it’s lightweight enough for one person to do this—and store vertically where, yes, it will still look nice in your home gym.Advertisement - Continue Reading BelowIf interior design, staying inside, and biking are your top three passions, well, this is the exercise bike for you. It is made of wood, for one. Oak here, but it comes in cherry, walnut, and a bunch of other shades. So unlike even the best recumbent bikes, it’s not a total eyesore. And then it’s a modern device on top of all that classy design, with a built-in touchscreen, workout monitoring, and training data.What exactly does a Pilates reformer do? Think about it as the same thing all the devices above do for biking, rowing, and gym classes only for Pilates. This elite NordicTrack reformer gives a full-body workout that will keep you limber, strong, and stable. With adjustable foot bars, three different resistance options, and instructors right there on the screen, it’s a fully tailored personal Pilates adventure every time you step on.Advertisement - Continue Reading BelowThis is a strange, albeit trendy, type of home gym device that tests your balance and core strength by sending vibrations of various speeds through the plate. It’s supposed to be a low-effort way to work your muscles, without really breaking a sweat. It won’t get you swole, but repeated sessions before or after workouts can lead to swifter recovery, helping to reduce soreness the morning after.Now, the Power Plate itself isn’t necessarily luxe in appearance, even if it delivers as an elite workout aid. Unless you get the wood-finished version, that is. This one, as it turns out, will look right at home in your new aesthetic home gym.Pent is one of the few brands out there that fully commits to gym equipment with a luxury aesthetic. Our hats off, since you can get a version of most everything on this list there without any compromises in design, build quality, or cost. It’s not just vibes either. Each piece is handcrafted and given enough of a lead time to allow customizations and personalizations in many of its items.If you’re going to splurge on anything at Pent, this combo gym set (filled with free weights, dumbbells, and medicine balls, a yoga mat, jump rope, the list goes on) is the one to get. Just look at it in black and gold. Absolutely stunning.Advertisement - Continue Reading BelowAfter all of this pumping and sweating, it’s time to give our bodies a break. So naturally, this list ends with a recovery device that will feel like pure luxury. Or at least pure bliss, which is the same thing when we are talking about compression therapy. This system includes three separate Hyperice Normatec devices (as well as a unified control unit) that can perform compression massage throughout the body. Target your legs, hips, or arms, or tackle multiple pain points in the same session; it just depends on what ails you.
