Turn your spare room into a Home Gym

March 23, 2011 - PRLog -- With the price of gym membership, travelling to and from the gym, the occasional snack to consider perhaps now is the time to think about a home gym.

It’s simple you can use any spare room in your house or even your garage or with the advent of Garden rooms here’s another perfect venue for a home gym. A home gym is very beneficial for you since you are able to exercise in private, when it’s convenient for you, as well as saving you time and money.

The first step is to decide the room you want to use. The size of the room will influence the equipment you will need. Measure the width and the length of your chosen room and then compile your shopping list of equipment. http://www.priorysports.co.uk/rowing-machines.html

Get the home gym equipment which will suit your room. If you get the fitness equipment which is too large for your room, you will not be able to workout conveniently. There is a lot to choose from so do your research well and wherever possible visit a store like Priory Sports who have a wide range of fitness equipment on display including Marcy Multi Gyms, Horizon Treadmills, Kettler Rowing Machines, Kettler Exercise Bikes, Marcy Benches and Weights to name a few. You can try them before you buy and with their online shop you can select instore and then purchase from the comfort of your home once you have made your decision.

The next thing to do is to add some additional items such as mirrors, fans, radio, iPod, DVD and television. The audio equipment will help you to workout longer since they will keep you engaged whilst you burn those calories. Mirrors will let you see yourself while exercising. In addition, you can use your television for playing the workout videos along with the DVD.

Another thing you can do is to get the right flooring. Whether your room is carpeted or not, you’ll need padding for any warm-ups or floor exercises. You can purchase pads at Priory Sports although in most cases this is a free gift with their fitness equipment.

If you only have limited space, you can consider the home gym equipment which does not need much space such as adjustable dumbbells or [n]foldaway Horizon Treadmills and Marcy Benches and weights[/n] that can easily be attached to a wall. http://www.priorysports.co.uk/multi-gyms.html

Whatever you choose to do make sure you consult with an established and experienced retailer with the ability to install the equipment for you and who is willing to spend some time with you explaining how the equipment can work best for you.
