How to Create Your Own Home Gym

Are you trying to lose weight, get fit and have an overall healthier and happier lifestyle? Then hitting the gym is a necessity! However, we completely understand that the gym can be a daunting place to visit. The easiest way to overcome this, and to squash out any excuses for not making the effort to go, is to create a gym from home. Here, we are taking you through our top tips for how you can create your own home gym.


Find the Perfect Space
The first thing that you will need to do when creating a home gym is find the perfect space. For most people, having a whole room in the house dedicated to just being a gym is a lovely thought, but is just not practical for the size of home that they live in. If you do have a spare room that you can transform into a gym, then perfect! If not, we would suggest that you look into buying a steel building from a company such as Armstrong Steel. Steel buildings can be easily set up with this company and it will give you the perfect space to fill up with lots of gym equipment and the furthest you will have to go is to your own back garden. 75% of Armstrong's clients erect their own buildings but if you don’t think your cut out for the job, you can get them to help.

Decorate Your Home Gym
Now that you have picked out your home gym space, you will need to decorate it. Why do this you may be asking? Well, for many exercise is not always the first thing that we want to do early in the morning or after work and so it is important that you make your gym somewhere that you actually want to be. Decorating can really help with this! Make sure that your room or steel building has lots of natural light coming in and by adding plants to the space you can increase the room’s oxygen levels. Try and remove any clutter and distractions as you will want to ensure that your full focus and attention is on your workout. Another great tip is to add a large mirror to your space as this can make the room appear larger and you can watch your form while you are working out.

Stock Up Your Home Gym
When creating a home gym, many people think that they have to have a tonne of equipment and large machines to get an effective workout when this is really not the case. In your home gym, we would recommend that you get yourself a foam roller, jump ropes for cardio and some dumbbells for some strength training. This is all you need to get your gym started and then you can add to it as you go.

Organising Your Home Gym
Finally, when creating your own home gym, you will want to make sure that it is as organised as possible. You may want to look at different ways in which you can creatively store your equipment and look at putting up some shelves that will be able to hold things such as ipod speakers.
