If the price tag on a gym membership and home equipment is enough to make you want to give up on getting in shape entirely, take heart. You don’t have to enroll in a monthly payment plan in the name of a good workout. With a little ingenuity, you can repurpose everyday household items into weights, benches, and suspension systems, and transform your home into a gym—for a fraction of the cost.

We teamed up with Ramona Braganza, celebrity trainer on the Gold’s Gym Fitness Institute and David Jack, director of Teamworks Fitness in Acton, MA to come up with 12 brilliant ways to get buff without going broke. These creative reuses of cheap, easy-to-find items will help you break a sweat—not the bank.
