Home gym consulting
It was COVID that caused me to set up a fully functioning gym in my garage at home.
It was also the trigger for an ongoing fascination with the possibilities of working out at home. There’s not too many You Tube clips on this topic that I haven’t critically reviewed!
The assistance I provide falls into one or more of three areas -
- A thorough diagnosis of what you are looking to achieve and the space that you have available. The outcome of this process is a sketch of what equipment will fit within your budget whilst accomplishing your objectives
- Developing a list of specific equipment and where best to source this. Depending upon your time frame, considerable savings can be made by acquiring certain items during sale promotions or on the second hand market. Regardless, versatility is critical, to provide you with a good variety of exercises from your finite amount of space. Allowing budget for future additions to your gym will also help to ensure good choices are made from the outset.
- Assistance with setup and installation. Careful consideration of the layout is critical to functionality. Astute use of storage options such as wall hanging and shelving will maximise free space for working out. Items bought new such as benches, racks and storage, typically come in flat pack and require assembly. Equally, a fresh coat of paint, some wall hangings, mirrors, fans and/or lighting can make an enormous difference to enjoying your workouts.
