Important Things to Consider When Setting Up a Home Gym

June 21, 2022 by Terry Clark 1 Comment

Setting up a home gym is an excellent idea. It can help you stick to your fitness routine easier, save time traveling to and from the gym, and give you the freedom to exercise any time you want. You also get the bonus of being able to exercise in the privacy of your own home and allowing your friends/family to join in with you. So whether you want to be able to work out in the comfort of your own home or save money on monthly gym memberships, a home gym is the way to go.

Unfortunately, setting up a home gym can feel a little daunting if you are new to the concept of working towards a small budget. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Here are some tips to help you start and set up a home gym.

#1 Budget

When setting up a home gym, the best place to start is to determine your budget. A home gym can be as fundamental or as technical as you want. Both can be utilized for exercise to help you reach your goals, but there is a vast difference in cost. Review your finances and determine how much you can and are willing to spend on a home gym. Remember that if you had a gym membership, you would be paying upwards of $20 per month for the years you use it. Creating a home gym will have a higher upfront cost, but in the long term will save you money.

#2 Workout style

The type of workouts you like will dictate the type of equipment you need to obtain for your home gym and how much space you may need to conduct the workouts. There are a variety of different workout styles that you can choose from, as well as different programs. Some examples include weight lifting, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), plyometrics, pilates, barre, dancing, aerobic, resistance, and more.

If you are not sure which style you want to do, it can help to write out your goals and learn about the benefits of each style of workout. For example, some will help you get stronger, while others may help you lose weight. Alternatively, it would help if you experimented with the different workout types to see which ones you like to do.

When you have specific workout goals, such as losing weight or building muscle, it can be helpful to pick one exercise style and program to follow consistently for 12 or more weeks. Also, this can be helpful to know when building your home gym, so you only invest in the equipment you need, rather than a variety of equipment you might not use.

#3 Space

If you are setting up a home gym, you will need space to complete the workout. Also, this, combined with your budget and style of workout, will dictate what kind of equipment you need. Some exercises can be done without equipment, while others will need equipment to complete. Fortunately, you can adjust most exercise styles to suit different equipment. For example, you can do resistance training with a range of equipment, which will require more space. However, you can also do it with a few resistance bands and bodyweight exercises, which require minimal space to complete, and little space needed to store the equipment.

If you can dedicate a space to your home gyms, such as a garage or spare bedroom, you may wish to buy a wider variety of equipment. However, if you don’t have a dedicated space and plan to use your front room or bedroom, you will opt for workouts requiring minimal equipment, such as a dumbbell workout.

#4 Equipment

Taking into consideration your budget, preferred workout style, and the space you have for your gym, you can start to invest in equipment.

If you have the money to spend and dedicate to your goals, you can buy expensive, high-tech equipment to create your home gym. If you are on a budget, you can purchase essential equipment such as a mat and resistance band. You can also shop for secondhand equipment on Facebook and eBay, which will keep costs down. You can start with a few essential items to help you get started, and over time, you can slowly build on the equipment you have and add to it.
