Rise & Shine 5am

What I actually use

No sponsors, no freebies. This is the kit in my spare-room gym, my kitchen and my 5am routine, at 58. Real photos, my own kit. If it's on this page, I use it.

My spare-room gym

My spare-room home gym: cable machine, mirror and treadmill

Built a bit at a time. Nothing fancy. Turning up matters more than the kit.

  • Reebok One GT40 treadmill
    My 5am incline walk, six mornings a week. This is where it started.

  • Maxi-Glider 360
    The climber in the corner. When it's chucking it down outside, this gets used.

  • Cable machine and weight stack
    Most of my strength work. Mine is a pulley tower with a weight stack; these are similar.

  • Adjustable weight bench
    Paired with the cable machine and dumbbells.

  • Magic AI fitness mirror
    Guided workouts on the wall. A treat, not a must-have.
