Creating a Home Gym in a Small Space

There are so many benefits to having a home gym and even if you do not have much room, you can now buy equipment that has been designed specifically for creating a home gym in a small space. When you have a gym at home, you can exercise at the time most convenient for you, in your lunch break if you are working from home, or when you first get up in the morning, whatever time suits you the best!

If you only have a small space to work with, you can still set up a quality gym with all of the equipment you need to support your fitness journey. Here are some tips for setting up a gym in a small space:

Convert your garage into a gym

If you have a garage, then it is the perfect space to transform into gym space. You can buy some foam tile flooring at an affordable price to make sure your gym has comfortable flooring, and a garage is ideal for setting up a multi-gym, along with any cardio machines such as treadmill and exercise bike. Make sure you set up some good lighting and get a heater in the colder months.

Versatile living room gym

If you do not have the option of using a garage to convert into a gym, you can still set one up at home, you just need to make sure you buy equipment that does not take up much room or can fold away to be stored. Fit4home® supplies many fitness machines such as foldaway bikes and treadmills that can be easily stored in a small place between each workout. Setting your home gym up in your living room means you can put the TV on or play motivational music through your TV while you do your workout. Watching your favourite TV programmes while working out is a great way of multi-tasking for anyone who needs some added incentives to exercise.

Bedroom gym

If you do not have enough room in your living room, another area you can turn into a part-time gym is your bedroom. The folding equipment is ideal for setting up in small spaces and you can fold it up and store it under your bed or in your wardrobe, for example. There will be no excuse for missing out on an early morning workout when you can roll out of bed into your home gym!

Outdoor gym

When the weather is dry, exercising outdoors gives you additional health benefits. So, if you buy equipment that is easy to move, such as a skipping rope and dumbbell set, you can set up outside and get some fresh air while you work out. This works even better if you have some outdoor storage space to keep your equipment in.

The key to setting up a home gym in a small space is to buy equipment that has been specifically designed to be versatile, quick to assemble and easy to store in limited space.
