PWR at Home uses some key pieces of home gym equipment to help you increase your strength, including:
- Ab Wheel (PWR at Home 2.0)
- Ankle Weights
- Barbell
- Bench (Week 5 onwards)
- Chair
- Deadball
- Dumbbells
- Fitball
- Kettlebell
- Long Resistance Band
- Medicine Ball
- Recovery Band
- Resistance Band
- Resistance Tube
- Skipping Rope
- Step
- Weight Plate
- Wooden Dowel
- Yoga Mat
Many pieces on this list you may already have at home, or from previous Sweat programs. Kelsey has tried to utilise equipment that most home gym set-ups will already have available, but if these items are unavailable to you, we suggest using substitute equipment.
If I don't have access to the equipment, what can I use instead?
Some pieces of equipment do not have an exact equivalent, but we do have some suggestions of suitable substitutes you could incorporate into your workout:
- Resistance Tube - You can omit the resistance tube altogether if you have a recovery tube as these two items are interchangeable.
- Bench - Any flat, stable surface will be suitable.
- Kettlebell - One large dumbbell (8-15kg) can be used instead.
The equipment required for the PWR at Home workouts will be used repeatedly throughout the program. Try to think of them as investment pieces — for your program and your health!
How do I choose a weight that's right for me?
When it comes to selecting a weight for equipment, Kelsey always recommend to start small and increase in increments as your strength and confidence improves.
Select a weight that is a 7/10 difficulty (1 = very easy and 10 = maximum effort).

Hello,
I'm going to buy some equipment that I don't have yet, but I don't know what weight to buy. Is the case of the medicine ball or the ankle weights. Can you help me, please? I'm using dumbbells of 4kg, for example.
Thanks for your help
