Make your own dream gym.

Let’s face it, not everyone is racking in the kind of dough required to have a gym membership all year round. It’s an unfortunate truth that if you want to get into some great shape it’s not only going to cost you time, but money as well. If you can’t pay for a gym membership there’s no shame in your game. But you shouldn’t allow it to become an excuse for not training.

There’s a reason why the saying “there’s other ways to catch fish” rings so true, because there isn’t just one way to do things. Can’t afford to go to the gym? Fine. If you have the means and the space, then why not set up your own gym. It’ll be cost effective and become your sacred sanctuary for gains. Here are some of the essentials you’ll need to have a great yet simple home gym.

Setting

When it comes to setting up your home gym you’ll obviously need the space to fit the equipment. We understand that not everyone has a mansion to place a ton of equipment in, but if you do have the space then you’ve got to utilize it well. Mirrors are a great addition to any gym paid for or not. The mirror allows you to actively critique your physique before, during, and after a training session. It’s not a must, but it’s certainly a nice touch that can fuel your workout. What is a must is some good sturdy flooring. You’re gym isn’t going to be like Planet Fitness. There’s going to be times when you drop a barbell or dumbbells on the ground simply because you can hold it anymore and for that you’ll need the proper flooring to take the impact. Invest in some interlocking foam mat squares for some great flooring for your gym.
