About Price Ranges

The low-end of each range represents budget-friendly but reliable options available on Amazon and major retailers. The high-end represents premium brands with advanced features, heavier weight capacities, and longer warranties. For most apartment dwellers, mid-range options offer the best value.

Cost Per Square Foot

The "Per Sq Ft" estimate assumes a 50 square foot gym area (roughly a 5x10 ft corner or closet-to-small-bedroom conversion). If your space is larger or smaller, divide the mid-range total by your actual square footage for a more accurate number.
