Why have a home gym? Home gyms offer several advantages for people who want to work out, in addition to being cost-effective in the short and long term. We present here the benefits of it, the different sets on promotion that we recommend buying for your home gym according to your needs, as well as the cost comparison with a membership in a training room.
The benefits
Time and money savings
Having a gym at home allows you to save time and money that you would normally spend traveling to a training room. You won’t have to waste time commuting, thinking about your outfit, or chatting with people you meet on-site. Additionally, you won’t have to pay monthly membership fees or subscriptions.
Convenience
Having a gym at home allows you to exercise at any time. You do not have to adhere to the opening hours of training rooms, and you can even entertain and supervise children while training if you are a parent. You can also train dressed in a way that suits you and have access to your shower in the comfort of your home. Moreover, you do not have to wait your turn to use a particular piece of equipment, and the ease of access to training equipment can encourage you to stay active and maintain a regular exercise routine.
Privacy
A home gym allows you to exercise out of sight. This can be a great advantage for people who are less comfortable training in public, who do not want to engage in conversations, or for beginners.
Choice of equipment
The advantage of having a gym at home is that you have total control over the choice of equipment you want to train with. You can therefore target equipment that meets your specific needs and training preferences. You can also arrange the space as you wish by choosing the layout of the equipment, adjusting the lighting, and selecting your music to create an environment that motivates you. You can thus customize your training space according to your goals.
Cost comparison
By way of comparison, a home gym is more cost-effective in the short and long term than a gym membership. Here’s why:
Average cost of an annual gym membership:
1.Economical gym: Between $200 and $400 per year.
2.Mid-range gym: Between $400 and $800 per year.
3.Premium gym: Between $800 and $1500 per year.
It is important to note that these figures are general averages and that actual prices may vary from one gym to another.
In this sense, most gym equipment has a lifespan of over 10 years. Thus, your home gym represents an investment and allows you to save over time. However, it should not be forgotten that a public training room also offers its advantages and may suit many more according to their preferences. It's up to you to see what works best for you!
