Building a home gym comes with dozens of decisions. Should you start small with a bench and barbell - or go all-in with a complete strength setup? What about delivery, compatibility, upgrades, and costs?

That’s where home gym packages come in.

At BRIXX, we’ve seen a major shift: more people want complete, smart setups - not just single items. But are these bundled packages really the right move? In this blog, we’ll break it down. You’ll learn:

• What’s typically included
  
  

• When a package is actually a good deal
  
  

• Who benefits most from a complete setup
  
  

• What to look for (and avoid) before you commit
  
  

Let’s dive into it.

What’s in a “Home Gym Package”?

Not all gym bundles are created equal. But most high-quality packages - like the ones offered by BRIXX - include a combination of:

• A power or squat rack
  
  

• A commercial-grade bench
  
  

• Olympic barbell (20kg)
  
  

• Bumper plates in your choice of weight bundles (e.g., 70kg–200kg)
  
  

• Sometimes: attachments like pull-up bars, dip handles, or lat-pulley systems
  
  

In short: it’s everything you need to train full body, safely and effectively, from day one.

Example: The BRIXX Mammoth 5000 Power Rack Package includes a commercial rack, bench, barbell, and plates - a serious setup for lifters who want durability and performance.

Who Are Packages Best For?

Packages aren’t for everyone. But if you fit one of these profiles, they’re likely the most efficient way to go:

• You want a seamless strength setup without piecing it together over time
  
  

• You need reliable equipment that’s already designed to work together
  
  

• You’re training seriously and want to avoid upgrade costs later
  
  

• You’re looking for long-term value and durability (not quick wins)
  
  

You might be a beginner now - but a well-selected package grows with you. That’s why many lifters find that buying smart upfront prevents regret later.

Why BRIXX Packages Stand Out

There’s a big difference between buying a generic rack online… and building your setup with Australian-built, commercial-grade gear.

Here’s what makes BRIXX’s packages different:

• Customizable plate bundles (start light or go all the way to 200kg)
  
  

• Space-efficient designs - even the Mammoth rack is footprint-optimized
  
  

• Pickup-ready in Melbourne (or same-day dispatch for shipping)
  
  

• Optional packages with pulleys, landmines, or dual-function stations
  
  

Whether you’re setting up in a spare room or converting a garage into your iron haven, BRIXX makes sure your gear fits your space.

When It’s Not Worth Buying a Package

Let’s be real: not everyone needs the full setup. Skip the package if:

• You’re only looking for bodyweight or cardio training (start smaller)
  
  

• You’re ultra-specific with brands and want to hand-pick every item
  
  

• You’re in a temporary rental with no space to store a full gym
  
  

In that case, you might be better off with a modular approach - like starting with the SHUA Adjustable Bench and Hex Dumbbells, then expanding over time.

FAQ (Before You Order)

Q: Can I customize the weight bundle in my package?
Yes. Most BRIXX packages allow you to choose from multiple weight options - ranging from 70kg to 200kg in bumper plates.

Q: How does delivery or pickup work?
Pickup is available within 24 hours from our Melbourne warehouse:
62 Goodall Cl, Dandenong South VIC 3175.
Prefer delivery? Orders placed before 10 a.m. are dispatched the same day.

Q: What’s the difference between a squat rack and a power rack?
Squat racks are more compact and open-sided. Power racks offer full enclosures, often with pull-up bars, plate storage, or attachments.

Q: I already have a bench - can I still buy the rest as a bundle?
Yes. Reach out to our team and we’ll guide you through a tailored setup.

Q: What package should I start with as a beginner?
The BRIXX Elite Squat Rack Package is a strong entry point - durable, compact, and ready to scale as your goals grow.

Your Package Checklist (Before You Buy)

• Enough floor space? Measure twice (especially ceiling height for pull-ups)
• Future-proofed? Will this setup still serve you in 12 months?
• Pickup or delivery? Choose what’s easiest for your timeline
• Strength + cardio balance? Consider adding something from the SHUA Collection
• Warranty? BRIXX offers 1-year warranty on all packages for peace of mind

Conclusion: So… Are Home Gym Packages Worth It?

If you’re serious about building a gym that lasts - and actually supports your goals - a package is one of the most cost-effective and time-saving options out there.

You get:

• Equipment that’s already designed to work together
  
  

• Commercial-grade quality from day one
  
  

• Fewer decisions, faster setup, and a smoother experience
  
  

And with trusted partners like SHUA in the mix, you’re not just getting a “bundle” - you’re investing in a long-term training ecosystem.
