  1. Mirafit soft touch hex dumbbells, 2 x 5kg

    Mirafit soft touch hex dumbbells, 2 x 5kg

    A pair of 5kg dumbbells covers a lot of home workouts, from curls and rows to lunges and goblet squats. Mirafit's soft-touch coating is comfortable to hold and kinder to floors than bare metal, and the hex shape stops them rolling away. They're sold as a pair, so this is a ready-to-use set.

    Pros

    • Sold as a pair.
    • Soft coating is gentler on floors.
    • Hex shape won't roll.

    Cons

    • A single weight, so they may outgrow it.
    • A mat is still recommended.

What to buy someone who loves training at home

The best gifts for home gym users save space and help recovery. Adjustable dumbbells replace a rack of weights, and a massage gun helps after hard sessions. Straps, a shaker bottle and a skipping rope cost less and suit most routines. Check the space they have and the weights they already lift.
