Exercise equipment is any apparatus or device used during physical activity to enhance the strength or conditioning effects of that exercise by providing either fixed or adjustable amounts of resistance, or to otherwise enhance the experience or outcome of an exercise routine. Exercise equipment may also include such wearable items as proper footgear, gloves, and hydration packs. General strength training equipment A broad range of different types of exercise equipment are available, including: Free-weight training: Preloaded dumbbells and conventional dumbbells Kettlebells Preloaded barbells and conventional barbells Weight plates: bumper plates, steel plates, micro-plates Collars Weight machines Cables Rowers Head/neck harness Variable resistance training: Elastic bands (resistance bands): monster bands, hip circles, floss bands, mini bands Chain accommodation training: chains Lifting accessories: Straps, wraps and sleeves: Lifting wrist straps Wrist wraps Elbow sleeves Knee wraps Knee sleeves Grip: Gym chalk, gloves (the use of gloves during weight training is controversial.
