    Expert Answer
    Dumbbells are probably the most obvious purchase if you're doing any weight training, but it really depends on what you're doing and what your goals are. If you just want to do some light resistance training, you could buy resistance bands, a yoga mat, and light dumbbells. If you're into big muscle gains, you could definitely buy a full out bench press or barbell set. It really just depends on what you're trying to do.

    What is best adjustable bench or multipurpose gym machine for whole body workout?

    Community Answer
    Go for an adjustable bench if you have access to weights and a few other equipment to help out with using it to its full potential. Otherwise, an MP gym machine should do wonders and save space.

    Although not necessary, it may give you more comfort to know your floors are somewhat protected.

    An adjustable bench is one where you can change the height of the chairback to better suit your body (or others' bodies).
