The Garage Gym

THE GARAGE GYM

The garage is a great place for strength training, functional training and bodyweight training. It’s an ideal area for a home gym as it allows you to have serious workouts and throw around some weights without damaging your home. A garage can be large enough to create an impressive, dedicated space for home workouts. And you can create a motivating environment with music, lighting and whatever design elements you can think of.

 

BENEFITS

• Excellent for a large functional workout zone or strength training area.
• Allows you to exercise in a separate part of the home away from distractions.
• Ample space gives you the opportunity to add equipment over time and slowly build up your home gym.

 

GYM EQUIPMENT IDEAS

• One or two pieces of cardio equipment
• A half rack or Smith Machine
• Dumbbells
• Weight bench or crunch bench
• Barbells and weight plates

 

ADDED CONSIDERATIONS

Additional flooring is ideal for garage gyms outfitted with rugged strength training equipment. Rubber flooring can be purchased online or at most hardware stores. Standard 50 x 50 cm square interlocking tiles vary in thickness and are easy to install.
