This is where the GORNATION Bundle Builder comes into play. Instead of buying standalone pieces, you can create and customize your ideal training setup, combining pull and push equipment, weighted gear, and mobility tools to create a fully functional home gym, outdoor workout set, or a compact setup for travel.

Navigating the Bundle Builder: How to Choose the Best Combinations

GORNATION's Bundle Builder is designed to help you build a well-rounded workout set with equipment that enhances your training efficiency.

💡 How to maximize your selection:

1. Combine pull and push equipment

   • A pull-up bar or rings provides pull movements, while dip bars or parallettes cover push exercises.

2. Ensure progressive overload options

   • Add weighted resistance, like a dip belt or weight vest, for muscle and strength growth over time.

3. Consider space & portability

   • If you have only a small space, choose compact, multi-use equipment like rings and resistance bands over a large pull-up station.

How to Choose the Right Products for Your Bundle

When deciding what to add to your custom workout bundle, ask yourself:

✅ Do I have space for freestanding equipment, or do I need compact tools?
✅ Do I need extra resistance for progression (dip belt, weight vest)?
✅ Do I train indoors or outdoors? (This affects equipment durability & portability.)
✅ Do I have a pull-up bar or need to mount one? (Rings require something to hang from.)

By answering these questions, you can create a bundle that truly fits your training lifestyle.

FAQs About the Bundle Builder

Which bundle is best for absolute beginners?
✅ If you're just starting, we recommend a pull-up bar, resistance bands, and parallettes or rings. This combination allows you to do basic movements like assisted pull-ups, push-ups, and dips. A good combination between pull and push exercises is important for a balanced start to calisthenics.

How do I know which pull-up bar to choose?
✅ Consider where you want to install it:

• Doorway bars are great for compact spaces without drilling.

• Freestanding bars allow for more movement.

• Wall or ceiling-mounted bars offer maximum stability.

Are resistance bands useful even for advanced athletes?
✅ Yes! Resistance bands are not just for beginners—they help with warm-ups, mobility, and adding resistance to advanced exercises like push ups and dips.

Do I need a dip belt or a weight vest for weighted calisthenics?
✅ If you do weighted dips, pull-ups, and muscle-ups, a dip belt is best.
✅ If you want added resistance for push-ups, squats, and running, go for a weight vest.

Can I travel with my workout bundle?
✅ Yes! If you're a frequent traveler, opt for rings, resistance bands, and stackable parallettes—they're lightweight and easy to carry. Like this you can travel the world and still make progress.

What’s the best setup for a small apartment?
✅ A doorway pull-up bar, rings, and resistance bands give you a versatile full-body workout without taking up much space and without the necessity of drilling your walls.

How do I make my bundle work for both strength and endurance training?
✅ Add weighted gear (dip belt/vest) for strength and resistance bands for endurance-focused sets and more volume in your workouts.

Is it possible to mix indoor and outdoor equipment in my bundle?
✅ Absolutely! For example:

• Parallettes & a pull-up station for indoor workouts
• Rings & a weight vest for outdoor training

Do I need wrist wraps or grip strength tools in my bundle?
✅ If you're doing high-rep calisthenics, weighted training, or dynamic movements, wrist wraps can protect your joints. A grip trainer is great for improving forearm endurance.

What’s the best bundle for learning advanced calisthenics moves like the planche or front lever?
✅ Get parallettes for push training, a static bar for work on your front and back lever, and resistance bands to assist progressions. Maybe a little Liquid Chalk will help you to maintain a proper grip when fatigue kicks in or you’re sweating.
