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.

Making Your Home Gym a Home Run

It is often challenging to stick to your workout routine. In the prior blogs I argued in favor of home gyms and their tremendous contribution to our fitness results. Besides having a well designed/equipped home gym, I want to suggest other tips to stay motivated, exercise regularly and take full advantage of your home gym.

Your goals should be realistic

Setting goals is necessary even if you are doing a workout at your home. Avoid setting goals that are unrealistic. To learn a new skill or conquer desirable strength/endurance/power/flexibility level takes progression. You may want to ask a professional trainer to help you design a program that is safe and realistic. Everybody is different and there are many and equally reasonable paths to meet our expectations. Find your personal path!

Measure your results

From tracking your weight to analyzing the number of repetitions, there are several things to measure your results. Personally, I’m my own device, tracker, etc. I’m also aware that some people love to use fitness apps. Here are a few of them:

Fitness22 Running Distance Tracker
MyFitnessPal
Google Fit
FitNotes
Jefit Workout Tracker

Have a partner

When you don’t feel like doing exercise on some days, your workout buddy can be your back-up. Make sure you choose someone who has that magical power over you. Someone, who can encourage and motivate.

Learn more about fitness and exercises

With countless articles and videos on health and fitness, staying updated has now become easier. Make sure you are gaining this knowledge from reliable portals and YouTube channels.

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:

Stall Bars
Pull up Bar
Bench
Gymnastic Rings
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.

Designing Your Perfect Home Gym

Are you tired of using sweaty or worn-out equipment of your local gym? Do you find yourself wasting time between sets while you anxiously wait for someone to finish using the machine or space? Is the time required for to travel to and from the gym taking away from the time you can devote to your workout? Are you tired of paying hefty monthly or annual gym fees and not getting your fair share? If you have answered yes to any of the above questions then it may be time to design your own gym.

3-D Fitness is one of few companies that make home gym design a special niche. Our creative approach – Design for Movement (DFM) has been a fruit of many years of experience, curiosity and love for athletic training.

Here are a few things that you should consider before creating your home gym.

1. Budget

We recommend that you purchase high quality equipment, which will last and ensure better quality training. Home gyms generally evolve with time unless you are willing to spend a lot in one shot. Otherwise, your gym can grow as your fitness journey gets complex. You can begin by buying simple fitness equipment online with a goal to add as you go.

2. Atmosphere

A home gym for a fitness lover is like a walk-in closet for a fashionista. Fill it with items that inspire you. It could be a poster of your favorite athlete or sports discipline. Music is a great motivator; set up a sound system, which could be anything from a portable speaker to big-blasting woofers. Every detail matters, colors, materials, scents, make it a space you enjoy.

3. Essential Equipment

The essential, endorsed by 3-D Fitness equipment includes proper flooring (never skimp on flooring), olympic bar, plate set, bench, kettlebells, pull up bar, gymnastic rings, bungee bands, foam roller and YOU. Your equipment choices will vary as per your training needs and priorities.

Remember and make sure that

Equipment, Design and Training All Work Together.
