Step-by-Step Guide to setting up a Home Gym

Step 7: The Entertainment Systems

How can we forget about the blasting music, the TV shows to keep you going while working out.
A simple music radio set and a TV is all you need. Blast the music, switch to all your favourite songs and TV programmes.

This is better than a public gym, your own music, your own TV programme.
Blast the music and here you go. But of course, please do not disturb your neighbours.

We will be starting our next series from the next post onwards, "Singapore Home Gym Undergoes Renovation".

We are bringing in new items into our Home Gym. The whole process from rearranging of furnitures to setting up of new items will be posted on our blog!!!!

Step-by-step Guide to setting up a Home Gym

Hi all,

We are progressing into the next step of setting up a home gym!!!

Step 5: Putting the Home Gym Acessories aside

When you first see the title, "Putting the Home Gym Acessories aside", I'm sure lots of questions must be going through your mind.
"How am I going to use them if I am putting them aside?"
"Put them aside? I am trying to squeeze everything into my room!"
And the list goes on.......

No worries, We are not asking you to chunk them at a corner of your house. The Home gym Accessories consists of mainly, the weight plates, weight tree, barbells, dumbell handles, weighing scale, abs rollers and other items that aids in your workout routine. These are the smaller items of a home Gym, but yet they can still takes up sustaintial amount of space.

To ensure that they do not hinder your movements during a workout and yet allow easy access to it, we recomment that these items to put palce as close to the walls as possible. Take a look at the picture below.

The weight plates are of course placed on the weight tree. For the dumbell handles, they can be placed under the weight tree. This can also prevent them from rolling all over the place. The dumbell star collars can also be placed n the weight tree as shown in the picture above.

The Squat Stand when not in use, can be placed against the wall to save on the space that it will take up compared to placing it in the middle of the space area.

We often do not know where to place our barbells when not in use. To let it stand agianst the wall, or to put it on the floor. The Squat Stand can actually be used as a "Barbell Holder". This will reduce the amount of items lying on the floor, which makes the cleaning of the floor difficult.

The above mentioned arrangement will allow you to save up alot of space area. It will make your space area neater and also allow easier movement around int he space area.

Step-by-step Guide to setting up a Home Gym

A very Happy Chinese New Year to all!!!!
Its the time of the year to enjoy all the nice and good food, but don't forget to workout to burn off that extra calories!!!!

We will now progress into the next step in the Step-by-step Guide to setting up a Home Gym.

Step 4: Getting the equipments in place

As always mentioned, in a home gym, very often we do not have a large space area to store all our equipments. With all the different workout equipments like the weight bench, Chin-up/Dips station, Squat Stand and many other more, how do we store the "big" items in the home gym? For this post, we will be focusing on storing of the big items.

The picture below shows the space area that I have for my Home Gym. Do note, its actually less than half of my room (about 2.1m X 1.8m space area).

Yes, we have lots of equipments to squeeze into that small space area that we have.  If space area is a constraint, no worries!!!! All we have to do is to place the equipments in a neat and suitable manner. What do I mean by "suitable" manner?

To start off, we first move the bigger equipments into the room. For my home gym, the bigger pieces of equipments would be the Chin-up/dips station and the Weight bench. For some, it may include the Power Rack.

One point to take note of during the placing of these big equipments would be whether these equipments would be easy to be move out of their storage area for use, and whether it is easy to store them back after use.

The Chin-up/Dips station being the biggest piece of equipment gym are first being moved into the home gym. Next, we will have the weight bench being move in.



Do note that these equipments are stored in these position when not in use. When needed, they will be shifted according for use in our workouts. We will have future posts on how these equipments are being shifted for use during workouts. (*Note: The leg extension attachment can be removed and place under the bench when not in use)

And lastly, it will be the Squat Stands to be moved in. The advantage of a Squat Stand is that it can just be placed against the wall, taking up little space. This can be seen in the picture below. 

Just like this, we have all the "bigger" piece of equipments into our home gym!!!! 

But wait, we still have lots of other equipments to be shifted in, from barbells to weight plates. How do we store these equipments? 

Stay tune to our future posts on the next steps in the Step-by-step Guide to setting up a Home Gym.
