Create Your Ideal Home Gym
Transforming your home into a personal fitness sanctuary has never been easier. Here’s some helpful tips and questions to consider when looking to build out your home gym:
- Look at your floor layout and ceiling height and pick a room that has the best flow and space to easily move around in. Most often this will be your garage, basement, or in some cases a spare bedroom.
- Will what I need/want to fit? Think if you want a rack, squat stand, a place for a pull-up bar, and if you have enough space for a full length barbell or if you might need to look into one of our space saving short bars.
- Can I bolt to the floor/walls? Depending if you choose to go with a rack that may need bolted down, consider if you can or want to bolt it to the floor or if you prefer a wall-mounted unit. We have squat stand and rack options for both as well as those that don’t require any type of mounting so rest assured, we have an option to fit your needs.
- Safety - Can I safely perform the movements I want to? Most importantly, you should always be safe with any setup you choose to go with. We offer numerous safety options for your rack or stand but also be sure you have enough clearance around you for any movements that might be in your program.
- What do I need or want to include in my home gym? Think of things that are essential to your training program, like a barbell, rack or squat stand, plates, etc.
- What movements do I want to do? For example, you may not want to do muscle ups at home, but would still like to do pull-ups, so you won’t need as much space above your pull-up bar.
Aside from space considerations, looking at how you can maximize your spending is crucial, especially if you’re on a budget. Not to worry though, we have options for anyone to make sure you can get the most out of your home gym.
Do you have enough equipment that you need dedicated storage? Often in a minimalist home gym you can get away with simply stacking your gear to the side when not in use to keep things organized. Once you start to accumulate enough equipment though, our storage solutions can become a necessity to save on space and keep your gym tidy.
Do you plan on adding to my gym in the future? When we first set out to make rigs and racks, we did so with expansion and customization in mind. We utilize modular designs that will allow you to add onto or change up the configuration of just about any squat stand, rack, or rig you go with so you don’t have to worry about your gear becoming obsolete in the future.
