Underrated stationary bike. Pricey, but built really well. It uses magnetic resistance so it makes no noise (unlike the Concept2 BikeErg). If you don't want the subscription model that Peloton or other bikes offer, this is a great option. I mostly use it for longer Zone 2/recovery sessions and occasional interval work. The screen is simple and it connects to a heart rate monitor. Does not save your workouts or track anything within the console, so you'd need to do that manually.

Probably the best general purpose bar out there. If I could only have one barbell for my gym, this would be it since I do the olympic lifts as well as powerlifting movements. I bought the stainless version after using the black zinc version for 7 years. The knurling is passive yet grippy. Tolerances are really tight so there's no slop. Looks brand new after I clean it. If you're only into powerlifting and don't do olympic lifts, you'd be better off with the Ohio Power Bar.

These are the best performing and best looking plates on the market, which makes sense because they are made by a U.S. Marine - which is also happens to be the best performing and best looking fighting force in the world. These are the only iron plates you need to buy. Honestly a great value too, considering the quality and being made in the USA.
