factors to consider planning your gym

What should you take into consideration when planning your gym?

Racks for Organization

We have many rack options to organize your gym. These make your space feel clean, organized and high-end. 

Free Weights 

More and more fitness enthusiasts are moving away from machines and focusing more on free weights. Free weights include dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, and anything else you can pick up and hold. They make your

body work against gravity to pick up the object. The best thing about free-weights is, they work a lot of smaller stabilizer muscles you don’t realize you are using, in addition to larger targeted core muscles. You can benefit just as much by performing a few sets of squats and upper body exercises with some dumbbells, as spending 45 minutes going around from machine to machine. In other words, you can work more muscles in less time than with machines, while experiencing a full-body workout. This makes dumbbells an ideal choice for a home gym.

Exercise Balls

Exercise balls are large, vinyl balls you can use to strengthen and stretch your body, improving core stability and balance. "I named the exercise ball the one piece of essential equipment for fitness," says Jonathan Ross, the American Council on Exercise (ACE) 2006 personal trainer of the year. "Everyone should own or work with one," says Ross, who owns Aion Fitness in Bowie, Maryland. "It's incredibly versatile, it doesn't take up much space, and it's very low investment. You can't get a better bang for your exercise-equipment buck," he says.
