If you have a garage, you may feel that niggling feeling that you are not really getting the best use from it. Often, we end up using garages as dumping grounds, which is a shame because they have a lot more potential. One thing that many people realised was a great thing to do, especially over lockdown, was to clear out their garage and put it to work – as a home gym! A home gym is a perfect use for a previously unused garage, as it provides a convenient place to exercise that is a part of your home but doesn’t get in the way of the other rooms of the home or disturb other people in the house!

The first thing that you will need to do is to prepare your garage – if it is a bit unloved give it a lick of paint, add some new secure doors like these from Garage Doors Bristol based company https://www.upandoverdoorsltd.co.uk/ and put in some flooring like a laminate wood floor – easy to maintain and wipe clean.

Once you have done this, you need to add equipment. Think about how you like to workout and what equipment you need. Wait for sales such as black Friday and the January sales if you are after large items as they will likely save you some money.

It is also important to buy additional items such as mats and storage. Planning out how you want the gym and the equipment that you will use before you rush out and buy things is key – once you have it all in place, you will have a home gym to be proud of!
