How to setup an awesome home gym

We’ve now been working out in our home gym for 5 years and it has been a huge help in getting our workouts done each day. I was never able to get my workouts in consistently until I finally started working out at home. I didn’t think I would be motivated to workout at home but I fell in love with the RESULTS I got from doing Beachbody programs like P90X, Insanity Asylum, 21 Day Fix and Bodybeast.  For this reason, having a place to workout at home is essential!

Why have a living room,  dining room, bedroom or basement that’s hardly used? Convert it to a home gym!

Remember, you can start with just a pair of resistance bands… that’s how we started in our living room!

If you’re looking to setup a home gym, or upgrade your gym, this will really help.

 

How to Setup AWESOME Home gym in BASEMENT

We just bought a house and converted the basement to a gym. After posting pictures on Facebook, I got a huge response and people started asking a lot of questions about where they can find everything. Most of what we’re using can be found at Team Beachbody, Amazon, and Lowes.

In this video, I show you exactly what we use and share the cost of everything. To see links to each piece of equipment, scroll down below the videos.

How to convert a bedroom into a home gym

Last year we converted a bedroom into a home gym, complete with pull-up bar, squat rack, bench, weight rack, adjustable weights and a TV for Beachbody workouts.

I created a video walk through and posted it on Youtube, which generated a HUGE response.. and A LOT of questions:

    YES! Question about your flooring: would you recommend buying the BB jump mat or investing in other flooring to help lessen the impact of jumping on a concrete floor in my garage? 🙂

    Thanks for the HIIT training suggestions a few posts ago. 🙂 I think that might be key for me. And the app suggestion. Seconds. I downloaded it and paid for the pro version.
