No Gym Membership, No Problem: These Space-Saving Workout Essentials Have You Covered

A yoga mat isn't just a yoga mat: qhen you're low on space, the Gaiam Premium Print Reversible Yoga Mat ($28) is the ultimate multitasker as the location for pilates, weights, barre, and many more workouts.

With two sturdy foam blocks and one canvas strap, the Gaiam Yoga Block and Strap Combo ($14) includes everything beginner yogis need for a home practice. The blocks also come in handy for ab exercises (think of them as super light weights) or balancing poses.

If you live in a studio apartment, buying a whole rack of weights is out of the question. Instead, stick to a small set of just three pairs, like the Gold's Gym Dumbbell Power Set ($35). Once you're done working out, slide the set under the bed or into the corner.

Don't want to commit to a full set of dumbbells? Opt for Gaiam Fitness Ankle Weights ($16) instead.

With five resistance bands ranging from two to 25 pounds, the Black Mountain Products Resistance Band Set ($27) has everything you need for a killer at-home workout. If your workout ever gets too easy, you can double up on bands for double the challenge.

Shorter and stretchier than the longer models, Fitness Dreamer Resistance Bands ($10) are perfect for shoulder, booty, and quad workouts.

Ouch. That's the best way to describe how effective the Perfect Fitness Ab Carver Pro ($31) is at chiseling your core. Every part of your abs — from your obliques to your transverse abdominal muscle — will be engaged as you slowly roll forward on this tiny wheel.

The Wacces 2-in-1 High Density Deep Tissue Massage Therapy Foam Roller With EVA Insert ($20) includes both a soft foam roller for gentle massage and an intense, deep tissue roller for relieving sore muscles. Best of all, the soft roller slips inside the hard outer shell for easy storage.

Even if you don't think you're going to do a ton of step aerobics, it's worth investing in The Step Original Circuit Size Aerobic Platform ($42). When you use all four risers, it doubles as a makeshift weight-lifting bench.

Target aching muscles with the Pro-Tec Athletics 5" Orb Massage Ball ($16). It hurts so good!

No need to install expensive workout equipment. Just hang the Pure Fitness Multipurpose Doorway Pull-Up Bar ($19) in a doorway. It's ideal for upper-body exercises like pull-ups, hanging crunches, and triceps dips.

Let's be real: you probably don't have room for a yoga ball, unless you plan on making it a permanent part of your decor. Instead, opt for the Bosu Sport Balance Trainer ($92). It's flat on one side, so you still get all the ab-strengthening balance benefits without giving up so much space.

For cardio workouts, you can't beat a jump rope warm-up. Thankfully, Gold's Gym Extreme Cable Jump Rope ($6) doesn't take up much room, either.
