If you’re setting up a home gym with the best workout equipment for home use, there are a few factors to consider.
The most important decision you need to make is what style of exercise you want to do. It’s worth choosing something you enjoy, because that’ll make it easier to stick to. Once you’ve got an idea of whether you’re after cardio-based machines or muscle-building weights, you can start to design your space.
If you have space at home for a dedicated workout area, you can buy equipment you don’t have to fold or store away, as folding mechanisms, especially for large machines, can increase the price of the equipment.
Set aside some wall space for storing weights, yoga mats, resistance bands and other workout accessories you may need. You might also consider installing a large floor length mirror on one clear wall so that you can keep tabs on your form.
If you have a smaller space that is doubling as your living room or dining room, invest in fold-away equipment. Try to clear out a large cupboard where you can keep your folding gym equipment when it's not in use. A basket or storage bin nearby is perfect for storing smaller home gym accessories.
