The Best Home Gym Ideas
Jaime Carvallo shares the best ideas for your own home gym.

Today, it is more important than ever that people stay healthy. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many people started working out at home. This habit became a part of their daily routine, and it is also beneficial for them as it allows them to maintain a healthy and balanced lifestyle.
There are many factors that go into setting up a home gym, such as the type of equipment and the location. In this article, we will talk about a few home gym ideas that will help you create a space that will be both functional and inspirational.
Bedroom Gym
While it is important to have a dedicated space for training, it is also possible to have a bedroom gym. This type of facility can provide you with all the necessary equipment to keep your workouts top of mind.
Consider having a variety of accessories such as stability balls, dumbbells, and medicine balls. These items can provide you with a variety of different workouts and can be easily stored under the bed or in a closet. Don’t forget a yoga mat or exercise mat for stretching and yoga sessions!
Basement Gym
A basement gym can range from a small area near an entertainment center to a full room that is dedicated to training. This type of facility is ideal for people who are looking for a more stable and resilient environment when it comes to training. Usually, basement gyms are made to endure the toughest conditions, but in a space that is more refined, they can provide you with better temperature control.
If you are planning on having a basement gym that features heavy equipment, such as weightlifting equipment, consider having a variety of flooring options. You can purchase rubber flooring online or at hardware stores. The standard 50 x 50 cm square tiles can be easily installed.
Garage Gym
The garage is a great area for people looking to have various types of training, such as functional training and bodyweight exercises. It can be used as a home gym because it allows them to have serious workouts without damaging their home. An oversized garage can also be used as a motivating environment. You can create a space that will be both inspirational and functional by having a variety of lighting and music. A few benefits of a garage gym include:
Being able to exercise in a separate part of the home away from distractions
An ample space depending on your home
The ability to add equipment over time and build up your gym as you want
While it is beneficial to have a health club, investing in a home gym is a smart choice due to the various factors that affect our lives.
