Chad’s Recommended Workout Gear & Supplies
Whether you’re following Dig Deeper, Body Beast, P90X, LIIFT More, LIIFT4, 21 Day Fix, Power of 4, or Masters Hammer & Chisel, these are some of my favorite workout tools and supplies.
I’ve personally used many of these items for years while completing home workout programs and creating the workout worksheets you find here on ZillaFitness.

Adjustable Dumbbells
If I could only own one piece of home workout equipment, it would be adjustable dumbbells.
Dumbbells are the foundation of the vast majority of home workout programs, including Dig Deeper, Body Beast, LIIFT More, LIIFT4, Power of 4, P90X, and Masters Hammer & Chisel.
I’ve personally been using BowFlex SelectTech dumbbells for over 17 years and they’re still going strong. They save an incredible amount of space and make it easy to quickly change weights between exercises without needing an entire rack of dumbbells.
Flybird Adjustable Weight Bench
If you’re doing programs like Body Beast, LIIFT More, Dig Deeper, LIIFT4, or many other strength-focused workouts, an adjustable weight bench is an excellent, sometimes required addition to your home gym.
Bonus: It folds up for easy storage (that’s a big deal) and even includes leg attachments!
I’ve used a Power Block bench for over 16 years, but honestly, it’s probably more bench than most people need. This more affordable,lighter, model is what many members of my community use and recommend. If I were starting over, the Flybird would be my choice. And… bonus!! It folds up and stores away neatly and has leg attachments!
Large Exercise Mat
A quality exercise mat like this one makes floor work, stretching, yoga, mobility sessions, and recovery workouts much more comfortable. I put two of these together to cover my entire workout area.
Resistance Bands with Handles & Safety Sheaths
These are my preferred resistance bands for programs like P90X, LIIFT4, and Power of 4.
Unlike standard resistance tubes, these bands feature a protective safety sheath. If a band ever snaps under tension, the sheath helps contain it and reduces the risk of injury.
High Density Foam Roller
Fit Simplify Resistance Loop Bands
Loop bands are one of the most versatile and affordable pieces of workout equipment you can own.
They’re used extensively in 25 Minute Speed Train, LIIFT More, 21 Day Fix, Dig Deeper, and many other BODi programs.
Therabody Massage Gun
A powerful massage gun that helps relieve muscle soreness, loosen tight muscles, and speed up recovery after intense workouts. I love using this on my cranky shoulders and arms while sitting in my favorite chair.
Extra-Strength Stability Ball
The stability ball I’ve used for years is no longer available, but this is the closest replacement I’ve found. It’s a heavy-duty option that’s well-suited for your home gym. A stability ball is used in programs like P90X2, Body Beast (in lieu of bench), and many other BODi workouts. It’s great for improving core strength, balance, stability, and adding variety to exercises like crunches, hamstring curls, dumbbell presses, and stretches.
Worksheet Supplies
If you’re printing my workout worksheets, these supplies can help keep everything organized and make it easier to track your progress.
3-Ring Telescoping Binder
A simple binder keeps all of your workout sheets organized in one place and makes it easy to look back at previous workouts
