What do you own? – Sunday Survey from 9/22/2019

For 21 different pieces of equipment, last week’s survey simply asked, “Do you own (x piece of equipment)?” You had the option to respond with – Yes, 1 – Yes, multiple or No. There were nearly  50k responses and 53% of the responses were yes. Here are a few of the highlights:

• • • Resistance bands had the highest percentage of owners (86%) with many owning multiple pairs already and the GHD had the lowest (16%).
    • Barbells were in “second place” with 83% owning at least one. 43% of respondents have multiple and 39% own at least 1 specialty bar.
    • More people have bumper plates than iron plates
    • Cardio equipment is not prevalent in most gyms – Air Bike (34%), Rower (34%), and Stationary Bike (23%)
    • Dumbbells are more popular than kettlebells for respondents
    • Horse Stall Mats are in nearly 2/3rds of respondent’s home gyms

Below you will see a % breakdown between all. The “Total % Yes” is adding up the two different yes responses.

All home gyms come in many different shapes and sizes, which this survey helps to display. In general, most have the basics like a squat rack, barbell, and bumper/iron plates, while only a few have the higher priced cardio equipment, Belt Squat, and GHD. Everything in between is basically a toss up!
