About this room

The Home Gym is for the person who trains: the lifter, the runner, the yoga regular, the gym rat who never takes a day off.

It is a dark, tidy training room. Charcoal walls sit between two slatted oak walls over a black rubber floor. A low platform of oak and rubber holds the middle of the room, with a heavy rope trailing across the floor beside it. Black steel shelves and a kettlebell stand fill the back wall. An exercise bike and floating shelves sit on the left, with a low bench in the front corner. Cubbies and a small fridge run along the right.

Fitness gifts go wrong in two ways. They can suggest the person needs to get in shape, or they can miss how the person trains. Only choose for someone already working out, and match the gift to their routine. Find out what they lift before choosing weights, and ask how much space they have. If you aren't sure, stay with recovery and hydration. Everyone who trains hard gets sore and thirsty.

How the room works

  1. 01

    Look around the room

    Every piece on the shelves is something worth giving. Open the room in 3D and move through it the way you would a shop, or read the bays below if you would rather scan.

  2. 02

    Pick something up

    Each product opens a short list of the specific things it could mean — a Dutch oven is a size and a colour, a watch is a strap and a face. That list is what the bay pages hold.

  3. 03

    Follow it to the retailer

    Every pick opens a pre-filled search on the retailer’s own site. Nothing is sold here, and no price or stock is shown here, because theirs is the only version that is accurate.
