Best Gym Equipment Packages Australia (2026)
Best Gym Equipment Packages Australia (2026)
If you buy one gym equipment package, make it the Tori Strength Pack ($6,599): a rack with two 150kg cable stacks, a bench, a 20kg barbell and 100kg of bumper plates in one order. On a tighter budget, the Zen Power Rack Performance Bundle ($2,160.39) is the best entry rack package, but it has no plates, so add about $744 for plates and collars. The Home Gym Essentials Bundle ($3,561) includes plates and costs exactly what its parts do. Cables only: Tori Cable Pack ($5,199). PT studios: Tori Studio Pack ($6,829). The whole room, floor included: Tori Complete Gym Pack ($7,399).

Why buy a package instead of individual pieces?
You want to train, not spend a month matching a rack from one place with a bench from another and plates from a third.
- Nothing missing on day one. Buy parts one at a time and each is its own delivery, with your station half-finished in between. Each Tori pack is one order, one delivery.
- Parts that fit. The Tori attachments bolt on with no adaptors and no drilling.
- A lower price, mostly. The four Zen Power Rack bundles and the four Tori packs cost less than their parts. The Home Gym Essentials Bundle does not (pick 2).
The 6 best gym equipment packages
Prices are at the time of writing; each product page shows today's price.
1. Best entry rack package: Zen Power Rack Performance Bundle, $2,160.39
What is in it: the VERVE Zen Power Rack (sandwich J-hooks, safety straps, plate storage horns, band pegs), the MAVRIK 20kg Olympic barbell and the Satori Adjustable Bench (flat, incline, decline). No plates.
All four Zen bundles share the rack. Only the bar and bench change:
| Bar | Commercial Flat Bench | Satori Adjustable Bench |
|---|---|---|
| MAVRIK Olympic Barbell 20kg | Strength Bundle, $2,113.89 | Performance Bundle, $2,160.39 |
| Elite Olympic Barbell Dazzle Camo 20kg | Elite Bundle, $2,346.96 | Build Bundle, $2,390.96 |
Why this one: the adjustable bench costs $46.50 more than the flat bench and adds incline and decline pressing. Take it. The Elite bar adds about $230; if you plan to load heavy for years, take the Build Bundle instead and check the bar's lead time on the product page first.
Best for: barbell-first training (squat, bench, deadlift, press) on about $3,000 once loaded.
Add: 100kg of VERVE BE> Olympic Bumper Plates (5kg, 10kg, 15kg and 20kg pairs, about $715) and Lock Jaw Olympic Collars ($20). Loaded total: about $2,904.
2. Best complete barbell package: Home Gym Essentials Bundle, $3,561
What is in it: the Zen Power Rack, the VERVE Elite Olympic Barbell Black 20kg, the VERVE Commercial FID Bench V2 (seven back positions from 15 degrees decline to 80 degrees upright), 100kg of VERVE BE> Olympic Bumper Plates (2 x 5kg, 2 x 10kg, 2 x 15kg, 2 x 20kg) and Lock Jaw collars. That is a 120kg lift with the 20kg bar.
Best for: one order, ready to lift, nothing left to source.
The honest part: the Home Gym Essentials Bundle costs the same as buying its eight items separately. You pay for convenience, not a discount. The loaded Performance Bundle comes in about $657 less, with a MAVRIK bar instead of the Elite and a Satori bench instead of the FID. Want the FID bench and the black Elite bar? This is the simplest way to get them.
3. Best cable package: Tori Cable Pack, $5,199
What is in it: the Tori Functional Trainer Rack, lat pull down seat, low row foot plate, hard chrome lat bar, hard chrome rowing handle and tricep rope. No barbell, plates or bench.
The Tori is a power rack and a dual cable machine in one unit. Two 150kg weight stacks run a 2:1 pulley ratio for 75kg of working resistance per side, on 75mm x 75mm x 3mm uprights, with sandwich J-hooks and a multi-grip pull up bar. It won the 2026 Australian Good Design Awards, Product Design, Sport and Lifestyle category.
Best for: cable-first training, or adding cables to a bar and plates you already own. Bought separately the parts come to $6,288, so the Tori Cable Pack saves $379. No barbell yet? Skip to pick 4.
4. Best all-in-one strength package: Tori Strength Pack, $6,599
What is in it: everything in the Cable Pack, plus the Commercial FID Bench V2, the Elite Olympic Barbell Black 20kg, 100kg of VERVE BE> Olympic Bumper Plates and Lock Jaw collars.
Best for: most home gyms. Press, row, squat and pull on one footprint: cables for control work, a barbell for heavy work. Bought separately it comes to $8,150, so the Tori Strength Pack saves $651.
Why it is our overall pick: it costs $1,590 more than the Cable Pack and adds a bar, bench, plates and collars worth $1,862. Against the Home Gym Essentials Bundle, with the same bar, bench, plates and collars, it costs $3,938 more. That gap is the price of the cable station.
5. Best for PT studios: Tori Studio Pack, $6,829
What is in it: the Tori Functional Trainer Rack, the VERVE Smith Machine Attachment, every seated station (lat pull down seat, utility seat, leg roller, low row foot plate) and the complete hard chrome cable accessory set, nine pieces from lat bar to Mag Grip set. No free barbell, plates or bench.
Best for: PT studios, boutique gyms and light commercial floors, where every square metre has to earn its keep. One station covers cable work, guided Smith work and seated stations, for $805 less than its parts bought separately.
Skip it if: you train at home with a barbell. For $300 less, the Strength Pack gives you a bar, bench and plates instead of the Smith attachment, extra seats and extra handles. The Smith bar takes plates, so budget for them if you have none.
6. Best whole-room package: Tori Complete Gym Pack, $7,399
What is in it: everything in the Strength Pack, plus VERVE Safety Spotter Arms, 12 EPDM 15mm rubber gym tiles (1m x 1m, laid as a 3m x 4m floor) and three more cable handles: multi purpose handle, single handles and small straight bar.
Best for: an empty room you want finished in one go. Floor, rack, bench, bar, plates and safety arrive together, and the spotter arms mean a missed rep never traps you. It costs $948 less than its parts bought separately, and $900 more than the Strength Pack for extras worth $1,197. No package includes cardio; add it separately (below).
How to choose the right package
| Package | Price | Bar, bench, plates | Cable station | Smith machine | Floor and spotter arms |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Zen Power Rack Performance Bundle | $2,160.39 | Bar and bench, no plates | No | No | No |
| Home Gym Essentials Bundle | $3,561 | Yes, 100kg plates | No | No | No |
| Tori Cable Pack | $5,199 | No | Yes | No | No |
| Tori Strength Pack | $6,599 | Yes, 100kg plates | Yes | No | No |
| Tori Studio Pack | $6,829 | No | Yes, full accessory set | Yes | No |
| Tori Complete Gym Pack | $7,399 | Yes, 100kg plates | Yes | No | Yes, 12 square metres |
Buy the wrong rack and you pay twice: for cables you never touch, or for a second machine to get them. So decide in this order. First, barbell or cables: squat, bench, deadlift and press only means a Zen bundle; pulldowns, rows and rope work as well means a Tori pack. Second, measure the room (below). Third, add what your package leaves out: plates for the Zen bundles, Cable Pack and Studio Pack, and flooring for everything except the Complete Gym Pack.
Can you build your own package?
Yes. Each package has a set list of contents, so for a Tori setup with your own choice of parts, use the Tori Bundle Builder. For a Zen setup, start with a Zen bundle and add what it leaves out, as in pick 1. Fitting out a commercial floor? Send VERVE your floor plan for a free 3D gym design first.
Upgrading over time
Every package can grow, but some upgrades cost more later than now.
- Zen bundle: plates and collars first (about $744), then flooring at $40 a tile: about $531 for a 3m x 3m floor.
- Tori Cable Pack: adding the bar, bench, plates and collars later costs $1,862, against a $1,590 step to the Strength Pack now. If you will want a barbell within a year, buy the Strength Pack and keep the $272.
- Tori Strength Pack: the Complete Gym Pack extras cost $1,197 bought later, against a $900 step now. No floor yet? Buying the Complete Gym Pack keeps $297.
- Any Tori pack: the Tori takes the Smith Machine Attachment ($899), seated stations and modular storage whenever you are ready.
- Free weights: VERVE Premium Club CPU Dumbbells from $50 a pair, and VERVE Classic Handle Kettlebells (4kg to 40kg) from $25.
- Cardio: the VERVE Commercial Air Bike ($1,199) or the VERVE Commercial Rower ($1,099).
Space requirements
- Ceiling first. Every Tori pack is built on a frame 2316mm tall, 1230mm wide and 853mm deep. Lower ceiling? Look at the Tori Functional Trainer Rack Short, which stands 1.95m tall.
- Room in front. For the Strength and Complete Gym packs, leave space in front of the rack for the bench and a loaded barbell.
- Plan around the floor. The Complete Gym Pack's 12 tiles lay out as a 3m x 4m floor.
- Zen bundles. Check the footprint on the Zen Power Rack page.
- Cardio adds length. The rower is 2400mm long and the air bike 1400mm long.

Frequently asked questions
What is the best gym equipment package in Australia?
For most home gyms, the Tori Strength Pack ($6,599): a power rack with two 150kg cable stacks, a Commercial FID Bench V2, a 20kg Elite Olympic barbell and 100kg of bumper plates in one order. On a tighter budget, the Zen Power Rack Performance Bundle ($2,160.39) plus about $744 of plates and collars.
Do VERVE gym equipment packages include weight plates?
Three do: the Home Gym Essentials Bundle, the Tori Strength Pack and the Tori Complete Gym Pack each include 100kg of bumper plates and a pair of collars. The four Zen Power Rack bundles, the Tori Cable Pack and the Tori Studio Pack do not.
Is a package cheaper than buying the equipment separately?
Mostly, yes. The four Zen Power Rack bundles and the four Tori packs cost less than their parts bought separately: the Tori Cable Pack saves $379 and the Tori Strength Pack saves $651. The Home Gym Essentials Bundle is the exception. It costs the same as its eight items bought separately.
Do I need flooring with a gym package?
Yes, unless you buy the Tori Complete Gym Pack, which includes 12 EPDM rubber tiles laid as a 3m x 4m floor. The tiles are 1m x 1m and 15mm thick at $40 each, so a 3m x 3m floor is about $531.
How much ceiling height does a Tori package need?
The Tori Functional Trainer Rack stands 2316mm tall, 1230mm wide and 853mm deep. If your ceiling is lower, look at the Tori Functional Trainer Rack Short, which stands 1.95m tall.
Can I pay for a gym package over time?
Yes. VERVE offers Afterpay, Zip and Humm. Each provider sets its own limits and terms, so check which one covers your order total before you check out.
Your next steps
Pick your rack first: Zen for barbell work, Tori for barbell and cables. Measure your room against the Tori's 2316mm height, then add what your package leaves out, usually plates or flooring.
