Converting your garage into a gym

Home gyms are becoming more and more popular with around 30% of all exercise equipment currently being purchased for homes. This, alongside the increasing cost of gym membership, is making home gyms a desirable addition to houses.
There’s obviously a cost involved to achieving your fitness but it could save money in the long term, particularly if you use it regularly, yet a garage gym conversion can be achieved on a budget (and save money in the long run). However, there are things you need to consider and be addressed from the outset such as insulation and the right type of garage door.
Benefits of having a Home Gym in your Garage
Having a gym in your garage provides some great benefits, such as:-
• No more excuses for not going out to a local gym
-
• Having your choice of equipment right there at your fingertips.
-
• Getting dressed in the comfort of your own home
-
• Workout 24/7 with the gym never shutting
-
• Play whatever music you like, when you like.
-
• Save money on travelling to and from your local gym
The best pieces of equipment for an overall workout are:
-
• Dumbbells/Barbells.
-
• Bench
-
• Squat Rack
-
• Rowing Machine
-
• Exercise bike
Once you have the basic equipment, there’s a chance you end up with more space than expected and you are able to purchase more equipment as your garage gym conversion develops - along with your muscles.
