Home gyms are becoming increasingly popular, not only are they more convenient to you but you can avoid the intimidating atmosphere that can come with public gyms – not to mention avoiding those costly contracts.
For inspiration on the perfect home workout solutions for you this 2023, read our top tips…
Home gym
You can use a room in your home for your workouts by maximising the area you already have. There’s nothing quite like getting a workout in without the hassle of travelling to a local training facility, as you could have your workout completed in the travel time alone.
Whilst you want the space in your home to motivate you in your workouts, you may also want this area to feel like your home when the workout is over. Therefore it’s essential to have an easily adaptable space for both uses.
Baskets and storage chests
Baskets and storage chests are great for storing your home gym equipment. Not only does this make it easy to locate all your equipment, but it’s a great way to hide your weights and yoga mats when not in use.
By using storage baskets you can easily move all your equipment between rooms whilst being pleasing to the eye. If your home workout area is a joy to be in then you are more likely to complete your workouts.
Create a gym cupboard
Forget walk-in wardrobes – a gym cupboard is what will make you feel good from the inside out this year. If you have an array of gym equipment from heavy weights to foam rollers, then building some robust shelving into your cupboard will not only make it a practical storage space, but a cupboard you enjoy going to every time you work out! If you have made the effort to make a gym cupboard then motivating yourself to work out should be no problem.
Transform your garage space
If you have a garage, create a dedicated training zone in there to keep equipment out of your main living space. If your garage is already a little full, free up some wall space with an all-in-one gym storage rack. This will make it easy to incorporate exercises that you could complete in a traditional setting, such as wall sits and ball throws.
In addition to this, you can free up some floor space by doubling up a workout bench with storage space inside. Make sure it’s sturdy, so you can work on your ‘all body strength’ from bench press to single-leg lunges and hip thrusts. Not only will an one in one storage rack and storage bench be helpful to store your gym equipment, but it will also give you more room to complete your workout and ensure a safe workout area.
Don’t forget, you can also use a Magenta storage unit to safely store your home gym equipment when not in use if you need a little break from exercising.
