Strength and fitness equipment

What weight training equipment can you find at Foot-Store?

Dumbbells, kettlebells, weights: the subcategories of weight training

To narrow down your search, the weight training selection is divided into several pages that you can view separately:

• The weight training accessories, the small equipment that complements a strengthening session.
• The kettlebells, for working on strength and cardio with ballistic movements.
• The dumbbells, available in various weights for unilateral work or classic weight training exercises.
• The weights, to be used with a bar for gradually loading strength movements.
• The bars, which serve as the basis for weight training exercises with additional loads.
• The medicine balls, weighted balls used for throwing, core exercises, and physical preparation.
• The benches, for exercises performed lying down or in an inclined position.
• The weight racks and storage, to organize and store weights and bars in a training area.
• The training equipment, which groups together other complementary equipment for weight training.

How to choose the right weight training equipment?

The choice mainly depends on the goal of the session and the available space. For pure strength training, dumbbells, weights, and bars remain the foundation, adjusting the load to your level. For a more functional workout combining strength and cardio, kettlebells and weighted balls allow for dynamic movements like swing or throws. The step and skipping rope are more suited for cardiovascular work, while wrist supports and fitness gloves protect the joints and improve grip during pulling or lifting exercises. Agility ladders and soft hurdles are used in speed and coordination-focused physical preparation.

Which brands supply the weight training selection?

Several brands specializing in fitness and rehabilitation are featured in this selection. Gymnic, Ledragomma, and Trend Rehab offer training balls and vibrating platforms designed for core stability and balance. Sporti and Kuebler Sport complement the range with dumbbells, hoops, and small training equipment.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between a weighted ball and a medicine ball?

Both terms often refer to the same type of object: a ball filled with weight material, used for throwing, rotations, or core exercises. The difference mainly lies in the weight and diameter according to the models, which should be checked on the product sheet before purchasing.

What weight kettlebell should I choose to start?

There is no universal weight: it depends on your level, gender, and the movement being worked on. A light kettlebell allows you to learn the technique of swing or goblet squat before gradually increasing the load.

Are weightlifting gloves really useful?

They protect the palms from friction caused by bars, weights, or kettlebells, and often improve grip during pulling exercises. Their usefulness mainly depends on the training frequency and the sensitivity of the hands.

Can you train with only dumbbells?

Yes, a pair of dumbbells allows you to work most muscle groups with unilateral or bilateral exercises. However, to progress over time, it is useful to be able to adjust the load, for example, with additional weights.

How to maintain a vibrating platform or a training ball?

A regular cleaning with a dry or slightly damp cloth is usually sufficient for surfaces that come into contact with the skin. It is recommended to check the manufacturer's instructions indicated on the product sheet before any more in-depth maintenance.
