About Home Gym Malaysia
Home Gym Malaysia is a small, independent site that helps people in Malaysia set up a home gym without wasting money.
Shopping for fitness equipment online is hard: thousands of near-identical listings, prices that change every week, and reviews that are difficult to read in bulk. We do that legwork and share what we find.
Kelly and Vivian are characters
To make our guides easier to follow, they are told through two friends. Kelly is just starting out and wants to spend wisely. Vivian has trained for years and would rather buy once and buy well.
We want to be clear: Kelly and Vivian are characters we created. They are not real people, and they have not used the products they talk about. When Kelly or Vivian picks a product, it means it suits that kind of buyer, based on the research below.
- KellyStart smart, spend less
New to training at home, Kelly looks for kit that does the job without overspending.
- VivianTrain hard, buy once
Vivian has trained for years and would rather buy one solid piece of kit than replace a cheap one.
How we choose products
- We only recommend products we have checked against a live listing in Malaysia.
- We read the ratings and reviews from buyers on Shopee and Lazada and summarise them in our own words, with the source, the number of ratings and the date we checked.
- Every price shows the date we last checked it, and we recheck prices regularly.
- We compare specifications such as weight range, size and build so you can see how products differ.
What we never do
- Invent reviews, ratings or testimonials.
- Claim to have tested a product we have not used.
- Accept payment to include or rank a product.
