What Kind of Home Gym Is Best for You?
by Kenneth Weider
Many a home gym has been purchased, only to wind up in the garage collecting dust and serving as shelving. Some home gyms purchased have been fortunate enough to make it to a garage sale. Before you start home gyms there are many things to consider.
First, consider all the home gyms available on the market today. Some are very simple band resistant gyms and there are the complex gyms with various multi-workout stations. Some small, some large and complex.
To save yourself buyer's remorse after purchasing a home gym, the following may be of help:
1. If you are looking at exercising the entire body, a multi-station home gym would be adequate. But if you are just looking at targeting certain muscle groups make sure the home gym you are reviewing can meet your fitness goals.
2. Space allocating is imperative for a home gym. Many home gyms on the market today can fold up easily but may not meet you fitness goals.
3. If you are use to working out with weights, consider buying a plate loading home gym. If you are use to working out with machines, consider home gyms with weight stacks that are adjusted with a pin.
4. Remember too, the more moving parts a home gym has the greater for break downs over time. Cables and pulleys are notorious for wear over a given period of tie.
Compare prices of all types of home gyms before making a decision. But more important is the return on investment you are expecting. If you will be using the home gym 3 to 5 days a week it would make financial sense to buy an upper-end home gym.
