I have designed a few home gyms and while every home gym is different depending on the needs of the client, their budget, how much space they have, and many other factors, this list comprises many of my favorite pieces of equipment that I have put in...

Main Equipment
The basics, the bare bones of a home gym. This section includes racks, cages, and benches
This rack has it all, dual cable machines, a smith machine, lat pulldown, seated row, a landmine attachment, a pull up bar, and still has room to use a traditional barbell
Primal Personal Series Multi Rack Bundle
Depending on your budget and how much space you have this rack is my top choice. Its very customizable and has built in cable stacks. Perfect for a garage gym
The Monster Cave
Every gym needs a stable bench
Rogue Adjustable Bench 3.0 - Rogue Red - Black - Premium Foam Pad
Weights and Bars
What I'd add to the main equipment, this section includes all the weights and weight equipment you need to furnish your rack, cage, or other equipment
Great high quality kettlebells
Powder Coat Kettlebell
The best powerlifting bar I have ever used
IPF Powerlifting Competition Bar - 20 kg | Eleiko
Eleiko has the best weightlifting bars. If you are a weightlifter this is the bar for you
IWF Weightlifting Competition Bar - 20 kg, men | Eleiko
Great all around bar that is more budget friendly than the others in this list
Rogue 45LB Ohio Power Bar - Stainless Steel
Powerblocks are great and space efficient dumbbells. Everything you need and only takes up the space of one pair of dumbbells
Pro 100 EXP
Great traditional dumbbells
Rogue Dumbbells - Weight Training - Rubber Hex
Great colored bumper plates!
Rogue Fleck Plates
My favorite trap bar! The open design is great, plus it stands up on the end which allows you to add weight very easily!
Öppen Bar - Black | Eleiko
Accessories
All the other stuff you might need
Magnetic collars are elite, they stick to the rack so you never have to go looking for them
Rogue HG 2.0 Collars - Magnetic
A little more expensive than the Rogue collars that are also in this list but these have a very different design. They are also magnetic but have an open design that makes it much quicker to put the collar in place
Öppen Barbell Collars - pair | Eleiko
While not everyone needs bands, these can be a great addition. They can assist with pull ups, they can add resistance to a squat or bench press, they can help with stretching and much more
Rogue Monster Bands - 41" Mobility Bands
Cardio
Whoops almost forgot cardio equipment
Looking for a solid piece of cardio equipment? Look no further than the echo bike
