A few reminders when putting up a home gym.

Garry Y. Itkin. While most college campuses have gyms, they may be too packed with students wanting to keep fit, especially after school hours. Nearby gyms, on the other hand, maybe too expensive, especially for college students. So, why hasn’t putting up a mini-gym at home or in the dorm become an option?

Some people believe that it costs too much to put up a gym at home. However, that’s not the case. In fact, a home gym can save a person a lot more money in the long run. There’ll be no need to renew memberships for starters. Also, for many people, a couple of dumbbells and a makeshift bench will be enough. Garry Y. Itkin.

One of the greatest advantages, though, about setting up a personal gym where one eats and sleeps is its convenience. Aside from the proximity to one’s living space, it also eliminates any chance of running into rude gym-goers who don’t know the first thing about gym etiquette. Garry Y. Itkin.

Home gyms can be extremely customizable as well. With enough space, people can design a home gym that suits their own goals. However, this may be more for college students who can go home, rather than those who live in dorms. Garry Y. Itkin.
