🏋️ The Ultimate Guide to Buying Gym Equipment in Australia (2025)
Why Investing in Quality Gym Equipment Matters
The Australian fitness industry is booming, with more people than ever building home gyms or upgrading their commercial facilities. According to Fitness Australia, over 3 million Australians regularly train at gyms or at home. Having the right equipment not only enhances results but also reduces the risk of injury.
At BRIXX Fitness, we specialize in premium-quality gym equipment built for both home users and commercial gyms. Whether you’re setting up a garage gym or a professional training facility, the right equipment makes all the difference.
🔑 Most Popular Gym Equipment in Australia
1. Power Racks & Squat Racks
A power rack is the foundation of any serious gym setup. It allows you to safely perform compound lifts like squats, bench presses, and deadlifts.
👉 Explore the BRIXX Mammoth Power Rack – designed with 75x75x3mm ultra-strong steel tubing for unmatched durability in commercial settings.
2. Weight Benches
A sturdy weight bench expands your training options for presses, rows, and dumbbell work.
-
For home gyms: the foldable BRIXX Elite FID Bench saves space while offering multiple incline settings.
-
For commercial gyms: the BRIXX Everest Commercial FIB Bench is heavy-duty, supporting up to 600kg.
3. Bumper Plates & Barbells
High-quality plates are essential for strength training. Cheap plates can crack or warp, so durability is key.
👉 Our BRIXX Bumper Plates are built from virgin rubber for extreme durability and low bounce – perfect for Olympic lifts.
Pair them with our Olympic Barbells for a complete lifting setup.
4. Functional Trainers & Cable Machines
For versatility, nothing beats a cable system. Functional trainers allow push, pull, and rotational exercises, catering to athletes, bodybuilders, and general fitness users.
👉 BRIXX®’s commercial-grade cable machines (coming soon in 2026) will feature 2:1 and 1:1 pulley ratios for precision training.
