Can home gym be stored in unheated garage during winter?

Friday, May 18th, 2012

I have purchased a home gym but its so big the only place I can store it is my garage. With winter coming up and possible temperatures of up to minus 10 degrees will this damage my home gym?

Should be fine, but try to keep it dry or the metal might rust.

What would be the best complete home gym set out there for a beginner?

Saturday, May 5th, 2012

I’m looking to get into exercising and I’m trying to find out what would be the best home gym to get? The only one I know about is Bowflex. I saw the Bowflex PR1000 Home Gym for a little under $500. Would this be good to start out with or is there something better I should look into?

You could invest in some weights, and a bench for a lot less money.

There are a lot of places that sell used Equipment, and it doesn’t take up a lot of room.
That way if you lose interest you wouldn’t be out $500.
All sorts of exercise routines on line.
Just a suggestion, Good Luck.

When purchasing a home gym, is it necessary to have a bench too?

Sunday, April 29th, 2012

I believe some home gyms are limited to incline benching, but with a home gym and a bench set, would that be optimal for working the pecs? Or would just a home gym be sufficient for working the chest/pecs?

I’m trying to put up a home gym for personal use.

There are many sellers but you have to make sure that you buy from a source that is reliable and offers after sale service. You also have the option to buy used but neat equipment.

The Renovation (And Relocation) Of My Home Gym

Saturday, December 10th, 2011

During the last month, I’ve swapped the two spare rooms in my house. What was previously the office/studio is now the gym and vice versa. It makes more sense this way, as the gym is now in the larger room and the office/studio didn’t need that much space.

In addition to swapping the rooms, I got rid of the carpet in the gym, opting instead for the concrete underneath. I also purchased a new smith machine with various cable attachments to supplement my existing free weights. My home gym is now by far the best it’s ever been, just in time for 2011.

What is better free weight dumbbells or a small home gym?

Monday, September 12th, 2011

I was looking for weight training equipment and I can’t decide on wether to get a set of dumbbells or a small inexpensive home gym. I just need to stay in shape and help gain muscle. Thanks.

Go for a home gym. Working out more of the body as a whole will provide a larger benefit both to looks/appearance and health.

Perhaps later you can afford some dumb bells to compliment your home gym.

You can make a pull up bar for free — (you just need something you can pull yourself up on..) — That will work the entire back, biceps, forearms and so on.. I highly recommend you incorporate that movement in your plan.

Take care,

How much does a home gym cost?

Saturday, August 27th, 2011

Me and my brother want to get a home gym to save having to go to the public gym twice a week But how much would it cost to get a few machines to work our arms, abs, chest and back?

Machines are garbage. All you need is a bench, a squat rack, a barbell and some dumbbells.

How to split up muscle groups to switch from a full body home-gym routine to a short routine?

Monday, July 4th, 2011

I currently adopt a full body workout on my home-gym but it gets boring and i lose motivation, so how do i split up muscle groups to work-out for a shorter period but more frequent throughout the week?

And say i work Biceps, Triceps and shoulders, do i still use my (3×12 reps)? and how many different actions for each muscle?

Just switch up days like i do, for example. Monday: Chest, Legs. Tuesday: Arms (biceps/triceps/shoulders) and stomach. Wednesday: Rest. Thursday: Chest, Legs..etc.
Just google muscle group exercises. like do bicep curls, triceps extensions, lying tricep extensions, pullups, chinups, dips.
