Fitness accessories for home workouts

What can you find in fitness accessories?

Fitness accessories include the small equipment used to strengthen the body, improve cardio, or prepare for a home workout. On this page, you will find four main categories: the step, the resistance band, the floor mat, and training gloves. These are designed to complement a workout routine, whether you're training at home or taking your gear to the gym.

Step: what type of training is it for?

The step serves as an elevated platform for cardio exercises, knee lifts, or leg strengthening. The catalogue offers a step with two adjustable heights, an Aquastep version designed for pool use, as well as separate risers sold to adjust the difficulty of an already installed step.

Resistance band: what is it used for?

The resistance band allows you to work on muscle strengthening without machines, adding tension to arm, leg, or glute movements. The lateral resistance band available here can be slipped around the ankles or thighs to target the lower body during core or mobility exercises.

Floor mat and training gloves: comfort and protection

The floor mat provides a stable and comfortable surface for floor exercises, stretching, or core movements. The DKN Technology model, measuring 200x100 cm, is one of the most requested in this product family.

Training gloves protect the palms during weight, bar, or free weight exercises. The selection includes several Harbinger models, including women's Harbinger Power gloves and Harbinger Shield Protect gloves, as well as Gorilla Wear gloves like the Mitchell and Dallas Wrist Wraps, designed to support the wrist.

Softee, Sveltus, DKN Technology: available brands

Three brands make up the site's fitness accessories offer. Softee offers exercise boards used for floor work. Sveltus features the Flexoring, a bulk resistance accessory for muscle strengthening. DKN Technology rounds out the offer with large floor mats suitable for home workouts.

Frequently asked questions

What step height should I choose to start?

A step adjustable to several heights allows you to start low and gradually increase the difficulty. The two-height step from the catalogue is suitable for beginners, and the risers sold separately allow you to adjust the intensity once you're comfortable with the movement.

How do you choose the resistance of a fitness band?

The resistance depends on your strength level and the type of exercise being performed. A thinner band is suitable for mobility and warming up, while a thicker or wider band, like the lateral resistance band from the catalogue, targets more strength building in the lower body.

Should I get a thick or thin mat for fitness?

A thicker mat provides better protection for your joints during floor exercises, like planks or stretching. A thin mat is easier to transport but offers less cushioning on a hard surface.

Are training gloves useful for all types of workouts?

Training gloves are mainly useful for exercises with weights, bars, or free weights, where they protect the palms and improve grip. For bodyweight or mobility exercises, they are not essential.

Can you use an Aquastep outside of the pool?

The Aquastep is designed for use in aquatic environments, with a design suitable for immersion. It can also be used on dry ground, but a standard step is more suitable for regular indoor use.
