Five Tips to Optimize Your Home Gym

Invest in your home gym! Increase your home value! Doing so, set the tone in your commitment to a healthy lifestyle.

You first must know your potentials, so measure your gym carefully and set your preferences, such as cardio machines vs. open functional movement space, or free weights vs. calisthenics equipment. Once you make up your mind about your equipment make sure you envision using it in your gym. You must be certain that you will be able to perform your routines with no limitation in movement and range of motion. Create your layout using carpenter’s old saying “measure twice, cut once”.

Less can be more

No doubt you like cardio equipment with a good LED display and necessary controls. But, this doesn’t mean you have to buy the costliest variant on the market. A lot of features in expensive cardio machines are unnecessary. Using them is most necessary.

Be imaginative

Instead of buying multiple machines, get accessories such as rubber bands, foam roller, plyometrics steps, yoga blocks, etc. For more inexpensive equipment endorsed by me email christof@thegymdesign.com. Remember you will have more diversity of if you have variety of smaller fitness accessories. Meanwhile, the knee extension machine, for example, takes up 30 square feet and does one muscle group. Stretch your options!

Please don’t ignore your gym’s appearance

A dull and uninspiring design is discouraging and you will not want to use it. Attractively lit, painted and decorated gym motivates and inspires. Images of your favorite athletes will give you more energy. Frame your pictures, don’t cut corners and set the positive tone!

Floor forever

Flooring is one of the important elements of a gym. Make sure the floor is easy to clean and maintain. Carpets are unacceptable. They are impossible to clean. Germs and dirt stay in them forever and they get damaged.

Home Gym – Convenient Path to Consistency

March 01, 2019

We all know that staying fit is important, but it requires a continuous investment of effort and time. We need to set time aside and make sure that we are able to do it daily. We need to make it a habit.

It’s not easy to develop good habits, especially when the results come only when we are consistent. There are multiple ways to make healthy lifestyle a permanent commitment. We are all different, but knowing who we are and being honest with ourselves and constructive in our own criticism certainly helps to build a solid foundation.

For some people hiring a trainer may be a solution. For others, connecting with nature and staying outdoors does the trick. However, one element that we all have in common is the need for convenience.

One of the few examples of how to make our fitness journey more convinient is to invest in home gym. It won’t be cheap if no corners are cut, but it will be ours for ever. It will be a sanctuary where our body and mind connect and it certainly will be convinient.

Choosing and buying home gym equipment can be confusing. How to furnish our gym where every square inch is precious. We, at 3-D Fitness have been designing gyms since 2001 and the challenge of limited space is our obsession. That’s why we designed beautifully crafted wooden equipment – FORMA.

Our FORMA totus offers:

1. Stall Bars
2. Pull up Bar
3. Bench
4. Gymnastic Rings
5. Bungee Bands

FORMA totus needs 40 sq ft in action and takes only 2 sq ft while at rest. Five elements of totus interact with one another and we interact with them practicing countles movements and drills. FORMA totus takes care of our cardiovascular health and keeps us strong and flexible. It builds lean, yet seriously powerful muscles. It’s fun because it has unlimited options for movement and it’s convinient.

Begin with FORMA. Add a few more fitness items. Stretch your options. Arrive at your destination.
