Building a Simple Home Gym
Why choose home gym instead of a gym membership?
In the fast-paced world we live in, finding the time to hit the gym can be a challenge. There are many obstacles to committing to a gym membership, including monthly costs, finding a spot that fits your needs, and maintaining the motivation. But what if you could bring the gym to the comfort of your own home? In this short guide we will explore the key elements of creating your perfect workout space. Whether you’re a fitness enthusiast or a beginner looking to kickstart a healthier lifestyle, our premium home gym equipment at a competitive price can help you along the way to your goals!
How to plan for a home gym
Choosing the right space
The first step in creating a home gym is selecting the right space. When we picture a home fitness studio, we often rule the option out as we visualise a massive space with mirrored walls. In reality, if we try and start small – just a nice nook you can carve out to work out and let off some steam – it starts to feel more possible! It could be a spare room, a corner in your living room, or even a dedicated garage space. Consider factors such as natural light, ventilation and the overall ambiance to create a motivating environment for your workouts.
Prioritising safety and comfort
Safety and comfort are key in any gym, whether commercial or home. It may be a good idea to consult with a doctor before beginning a big change in your fitness routine. If you have any existing health issues, some machines and workout regimes may be more suited to you than others. It is important to invest in quality flooring to provide cushioning and protect your joints during high-impact exercises. Ensure proper ventilation to keep the space comfortable, and don’t forget to stay hydrated with easy access to water.
Creating a functional layout
If possible, optimize your workout space by creating a functional layout. Arrange your equipment in a way that maximizes space and allows for seamless movement between exercises. Consider adding mirrors – even just small ones – to visually expand the space and monitor your form during workouts.
Add some fun to your workouts!
Personalise your space
Make your home gym a reflection of your personality and motivation. Add inspirational quotes and vibrant colours. If you don’t have much room to get creative, something as simple as a white board to track your progress may be helpful. Personalizing your space can enhance your overall workout experience and keep you motivated. While you are working out, you can remind yourself of the reasons you decided to start this journey!
Stay connected with technology
Embrace the power of technology to enhance your home workouts. Perhaps investing in one of our treadmills with SMART features – such as Netflix and YouTube – could encourage you to start the habit of walking or running a little further each day. Tracking your progress with fitness apps and joining communities on social media with similar interests could help you stay accountable to your goals in 2024.

Noise Reduction Protective Mat:
208 x 102cm
Treadmills, Exercise Bikes and any gym equipment where there is movement, installed on hard surfaces like tile, stone or wood equate to running on a hard surface and tend to be quite noisy. Since hard surfaces do not absorb shock, the forces that your body exerts are distributed through the equipment, and your legs. To disperse more of the force and save your joints and to protect your flooring, simply install a treadmill mat. The mat can also be used to store weights etc.
