The Romans didn't have any exercise equipment. In the baths there were hot water tubs, cold water tubs, and a lounge area. People in ancient Rome didn't need to have equipment to exercise because they got plenty on a daily basis ( not like people today). They had to walk everywhere, do much more work to get daily chores done, reap, plant, grow crops, make candles, spin wool, feed animals, hand carry everything, push carts, and do what ever else they needed to get done. It required a lot more effort and physical ability than the people who sit around all day do today. Everything was made by hand.

Our health clubs today differ from the Roman baths in that they have modern exercise equipment and generally there are no outside sales of goods allowed. The personal services of a modern health club are generally limited to a personal trainer or a massage person, whereas the Romans had all personal services available plus food and drink and in some cases even libraries.
