1
Check the room size for the gym
Measure your room dimensions and calculate how much space is available to create the fitness room. Check out the area that your desired exercise machines will need. Most treadmills consume about 30 square feet, free weights take up around 20 to 50 square feet, and one-station equipment designed for exercising all muscles parts take up around 35 square feet. On the other hand, plan your activity objectives to see what kind of machines you will put in the gym. For example, if you like to run in the open air and play football for cardio exercise you really don’t have to buy cardio equipment. Nevertheless, if you want to perform you entire workout in-house, you should purchase a cardiovascular machine, a free weight station or single station equipment and a mat for stretching purposes.
