A well-designed home gym is a place you’ll want to spend time in, and do more than just exercise.
1. Choose compact machines with high design marks
Cardiovascular machines have a long life space so when planning to purchase one, splurge on a model that looks pleasing to the eye. The Technogym Elliptical is a compact cross-trainer that offers a low-impact full-body workout. Easy on the joints and an exercise you do while watching your favourite show, it conveniently folds away to just 0.5 sqm and occupies as little as 1 sqm when in use, making it perfect for any home gym set-up.
2. Find good-looking equipment with a compact footprint
A home gym space doesn’t have to look clunky if you shop around for the right purchase. The Technogym Bench is a multifunctional bench that comes with hexagon dumbbells, resistance bands, weighted knuckles and a training mat, all of which smartly packs away for easy, aesthetically-pleasing storage.
3. Select items that do double duty
Cutting down on the number of items in your home set-up is a great way to maximise your living space. The Wellness Ball Active Sitting doubles up as a stylish office chair and as a bonus, turns your sedentary day-to-day into an all-day active exercise session as it works a series of subtle micro-movements for improved overall core and spine health.
4. Look for handsome interactive high-tech options
Investing in the Technogym MyRun brings the personal trainer into your home. This compact treadmill not only fits into most living spaces but with training sessions accessible via a tablet, it’s like having a private trainer on-call.
