Lads what’s your favorite gym equipment and brand I’m looking to spend some cash on a home gym and want to cover the basics , seems like life-fitness, cybex and hammer strength seem the obvious.
Anyone seen some other high quality brands or well designed gear.

Not directly answering your question, but I love old-school gym equipment, everything that is made out of steel, love it.
I guess they don't even have a brand name though.
My favorite gym equipment is free weights. I would recommend looking at Rogue Fitness for a high-quality home gym with free weights. They offer an array of options to suit any budget.
Always been a sucker for 90s and early 00s equipment. I love any nautilus, precor/ iicarin and strive pieces from that era. Of the newer equipment freemotion, panatta and prime (rebranded strive) are the best in my opinion.
SportsFanaticHonestly best tip you can have is try a machine out if you can before committing the sort of $ commercial equipment goes for..
If it's for home gym, your height and size play a part too so it's worth finding equipment that feels good for you. Like if you lined up 6 different leg extension machines and tried each one, gauranteed at least one you won't like at all and on the other end one or two will probably pop out as feeling custom made for you.
If you have the cash to go hunting, start collecting a list of possible places to source stuff, and also I would take a tour of every gym within driving distance from you over the next month or two and use every type of machine you intend to buy and narrow down the list of machines you like, and weed out the ones you don't..
You can be more focused then when it comes purchase time, knowing what you want when things become available and also save you diving on a bargain but discovering you hate it when it's delivered...
I have thought about this a lot for myself but never had the cash to actually get serious about it.
monster1onePanatta. If your looking at commercial quality. Good luck getting any second-hand though and it's a 16-20 week wait time purchasing new.
