The Benefits of a Home Gym

Convenience.

Owning a home gym allows you to exercise on your own terms. Consistency is the key to achieving your goals and by purchasing gym equipment you are removing limitations. Is it raining or too hot? Do work and family commitments leave you with no time to get to a gym? These factors are no longer a concern when you have your own home gym.

Better Workouts, Faster Results.

Investing in gym equipment allows you to choose only the equipment you need and most importantly, enjoy using. Selecting suitable equipment allows you to train more effectively, whilst also making your workouts shorter and safer. Often you can complete a great home workout in the time it would have taken you to drive to a gym.

Saves Money.

The average gym membership in Australia costs around $700 per year, or over $2000 for a family of three or more. This likely doesn’t include travel costs, personal training sessions or classes, which can quickly add up.

While commercial gyms offer a wider range of equipment, many members tend to stick to a few specific machines or exercises. There’s nothing wrong with this, but it may be cheaper and more convenient to perform those workouts at home. For example, many people have a favorite piece of cardio equipment, such as a treadmill, exercise bike, or rower, and a favorite strength training tool, like a dumbbell set, a barbell or a cable machine.

If you’re one of these people, setting up a small home gym could cost you just two to three years worth of a gym membership and with flexible payment plans available, it becomes even more appealing. For couples or families, the value multiplies, making a home gym potentially more affordable than just a single year’s gym membership. It’s a no-brainer for many.
