HOW TO SET UP A HOME GYM?

3 Factors to Consider When Equipping a Home Gym

• How to choose the most suitable area?

Prioritise areas with natural light and, if possible, with an exterior view. The important thing is that you remain motivated to train and that your training space is as pleasant as possible.

• What type of workout do you enjoy the most? 

Or what best suits your physical condition and objectives? Training at home should become a pleasure. Set short-term goals and choose equipment for your gym that you will use as much as possible: 

Cardio machines (treadmills, ellipticals, rowers, bicycles)

Strength training machines (multi-stations, isolated strength training machines, benches).

Fitness equipment (steps, resistance bands, balls, kettlebells)

Combat sports equipment (punching bags, tatami mats, gloves)

Pilates machines or accessories (Pilates balls, Pilates rings) Relaxation (Pilates ball, mat, massage roller)

• How much do you intend to spend to equip your gym?

The amount to spend can be directly linked to the available area and/or the budget we have to equip our gym.

A simple resistance band, some dumbbells, a treadmill, or a strength training machine can be a first step… or all of these items!

The area and the budget available to set up your home gym are the two most important factors.
