5 Awesome Home Gym Christmas Gifts Under 100 Euros

Christmas is upon us and I also wanted to take advantage and write a quick unoriginal article. Jokes aside. I actually came up with 5 proper home gym gifts under 100 Euros that I myself would appreciate. So, if you need help finding a Christmas gift for that special home gym obsessed friend or partner in your life, look no further. And there is only 1 affiliate link in the entire article, so you know it is honest stuff.

Massenomics Flags

Price: ~60 dollars shipped to Europe (35 dollars for US residents)

People don’t have to be die-hard fans of the Massenomics Podcast. They can still appreciate the cool gym accessories that they sell. Their flags are a stable across many home gyms in North America. I rock the “Lift Hard, Live Easy” Flag in my home gym. And it still brings a smile to my face during most training sessions.

Seat Belt for Leg Extensions

Price: 20 Euros (without shipping)

After getting my leg extension seat belt from KraftKniff, I find it indispensable. Now, I can’t imagine not using a belt for heavy leg extensions. It really secures my butt to the bench. When I only have handles, I struggle to keep my butt in the seat on heavy sets. Similar belts are available at GymPin. But their version doesn’t have the magnetic slider that the seat belt by KraftKniff has. This magnetic slider makes the seat belt stay attached to the machine between sets (see video below).

But, these seat belts are not limited to leg extension machines. They can be used on heavy sets on most back machines where you do vertical pulling. In conclusion, a cheap accessory that increases the user experience of several machines.

Barbell Jack

Price: 49 Euros (without shipping)

You might not need a barbell jack for every training session. But for those heavy deadlift days you will be very happy to have one. Especially one that takes up minimal space and is quick to grab.

I personally really like the REP x Kleva Barbell Jack in aluminum. But that one goes slightly over the budget here. A good budget alternative is the Barbell Jack. And remember, you can also make one yourself.

The Barbell Jack comes in orange and black.

Barbell Anchor

Price: 40 Euros (without shipping)

Whether you always want your favorite bar to be ready in your power rack, or you simply don’t have space to store it anywhere else, the barbell anchor is a great choice. To my knowledge Atletica is the only company that sells them in Europe. Darko Lifting from USA were the first to start selling them. They do beautiful custom versions that can be sent to Europe. But it won’t be cheap.

I am pretty sure that me and Hooked-sports made the first ever barbell anchor for my previous tiny home gym. It was a prototype. But it never made it to market and the one version we made now lives on my own rack.

Multihook Bar for Cable Machines

Price: From 48 Euros (without shipping)

Several companies make these: Anvil Fitness, Atletica, GymPin, KraftKniff etc. And as long as you buy from a reputable company they will all work the same. But I do think that GymPin offers the best price with their Lite versions and Holey versions. And if you buy from GymPin, then consider using my affiliate code at no extra cost to you. It earns me a small commission that helps keep the lights on for this website.

These bars offer many great exercises: Lat pulldowns with free rotation of the shoulders at adjustable width, horizontal rows with great range of motion and landmine rows (if you get one that also fits the sleeve of a barbell).

I hope this list was helpful! Happy Christmas!
