A Home Fit for Fitness: Building Your Own Weight Loss Gym

When you think of the perfect gym, what comes to mind? For many people, the prevailing image is a cavernous room, filled with expensive equipment and other exercisers, bustling with movement and activity. But for others, it isn’t a monstrous fitness center or even a building of its own—it’s a private room, nestled in the four cozy walls of a humble home.

You’ve likely started exercising in East Brunswick at your medical weight loss doctor’s recommendation, and it’s true that having a gym membership can be a tremendous help in reaching your fitness goals. However, having workout options at home will make exercise accessible whenever you have time for it. Instead of setting aside an hour to head down to the gym for a workout, a gym of your own makes it possible to burn calories in any spare minute spent at home-and this can be very valuable during medical weight loss.

You may think that creating your own workout area at home will be expensive, but it does not have to be. Regardless of your budget or the size of your home in the East Brunswick area, you can make your personal gym a reality.

Getting Started

Your first step will be finding somewhere to house your workout gear. Though your gym can be fairly small, you’ll probably want to designate at least six square feet of space as your gym area, or find a room that can serve double duty as an exercise area when needed—furniture sliders and space-saving storage solutions can help with this. Look for extra room in your garage, basement, attic, living room, den or office.

Any area can do for your gym, but to make it even better, try to include things like:

  • Windows, for the invigorating benefits of fresh air and sunshine
  • Electrical outlets, for a fan, a stereo and electronic workout gear
  • Mirrors, to help you observe your exercise form and make the space feel more open

Stocking Up

The tools you put in your gym are entirely up to you, but will be constrained by your budget and space. If you have little room or money to invest, it may be impractical to buy an elliptical trainer, exercise bike or treadmill, but these can be useful tools if you know you’ll use them consistently. Remember that you can still get an all-around excellent workout with simple items like:

  • Strength training gear, including free weights, resistance bands and a pull-up bar
  • Core exercise gear like a yoga mat and exercise ball
  • Cardio equipment like a jump rope

Carefully consider the exercise equipment you’ll use the most. Your gym will only be worth your time and money if you use it often, so be sure that the gear you purchase will make it easy for you to stay focused on exercise at home.
