When you have been living with a family member or in rented apartments for all or most of your life, finally buying a house of your own can be a true triumph and a moment to celebrate. Owning your house rather than renting allows you to create a living environment that suits your precise wants and needs. As such, if you have always wanted a small home gym that you can customize to give you the ultimate workout experience in the comfort of your own home, now is the time to make that dream a reality. Get to know some of the steps that you can take to create your ultimate home gym even if it is a small space so that you can put it to good use in your brand new home. 

Get Custom Gym Equipment

If you are going to invest in creating a home gym, you should be sure that you get everything you want from your gym equipment and machinery and you want it all to be able to fit, even if your gym space is small. This may mean that you need to buy custom gym equipment (from an outlet such as TK Star design inc) built specifically to fit into your gym space.

For example, you may want a hanging bag to practice your boxing skills but you do not have the ceiling clearance for the standard stand. Instead, you will need a custom stand for your bag to hang from that will properly fit in the room you have made into your gym without damaging the ceiling.

Similarly, in a tight space, you will more than likely need custom weight benches or machines that will fit in that space and even fold up to allow other machines to fit in the space as well. Consider creating adjustable weight benches so you can do a standard bench press as well as other inclined press exercises on the same bench. Or, have your benches fold out from the wall like a Murphy bed to keep it out of the way when not in use.  You can also have custom gym equipment made that combines several different exercises and functions into one machine to conserve space.

Make Sure The Décor Speaks To You

You want your home gym to be a space in which you want to spend your time. This means that you need to create a space that speaks to you, from the colors on the wall to the modern conveniences that you enjoy sitting around relaxing in your living room in your gym.

Use bright and vibrant colors on the walls when you paint your home gym. Think about when you feel the most energetic and think hard about what colors you associate with that feeling. Use variations of that color on the walls in eye-catching patterns. These colors will not only energize you but can also make the space feel larger. Put sayings or images up around the room that inspire you or motivate you. 

Also, be sure that you make your gym entertaining so that you do not get bored with your workouts. Mounting a flat screen television on the wall is a great way to help. Try a smart TV that automatically hooks to your wifi so you can stream shows, movies and music from streaming subscription services or your phone while you work out. Having a sound system professionally installed so you have speakers built into the ceiling can also ensure that you hear your shows and music well even when you have the weights clanging or the treadmill whirring.

Now that you have a few ideas to help you create your ultimate home gym in your new home, you can get started and create a home that you can truly enjoy and feel is unique to you and your needs.
