1. Find the right space
It is the very first thing to find the right space. It should enough for doing stretching and core exercise & to place dumbbells, yoga mats or etc. If you want a “Rock-Hard” workout you may need more space to spread your body.
If you want to do a light workout you may need a small space because of stretching and yoga which don’t occupy much space than a hard workout. Apart from the workout you also need a space to place dumbbells, bars, mat &, etc.
You can make your gym at any place like in the living room, empty storeroom, or any other place. You have to build your gym in that way that you can shift you from one place to another(if there is an emergency situation).
2. Stock your gym items
You don’t need a big space to store your equipment because the home gym doesn’t need much equipment you can workout with less equipment’s which is small and reasonable.
Light workout
For cardio, you may need a treadmill and other stuff but you don’t need this stuff. You can use a jumping rope or a weighted jumping rope because it will also build your forearms and shoulders.
A treadmill is also a better way of doing cardio workout but it is expensive and it also takes more space. A weighted jumping rope is inexpensive & also takes less space.
Heavy workout
For strength workout, you made need a cable machine but you don’t need to use those. You can use dumbbells, kettlebells, or adjustable dumbbells. We can do the same exercises with dumbbells that we do with the big cable machines.
First of installing the cable machine will take lots of money and lots of space. It will affect the muscles as same it does with using cable machines.
3. Setup music
It is one of the important things while making your home gym. Music gives you extra strength and helps to concentrate on the workout.
The music system should be close to you so that you can track it. You can play your favorite playlists in your own gym and there no one is to interrupt you but in the public gym, you cannot play your kind of music.
4. Track yourself on the mirror
If you have extra space you can also put a mirror in front of you so that you can see the difference in your body. The mirror always should be in front of you as it is the public gym.
The mirror should not be large but should be minimum so that you can see your whole body. Generally in public gyms, you can do it easily because you are surrounded by mirrors but you can do it in your home gym.
5. Storage plan

For storing small items like jumping ropes or etc you can store it in storage container and it will occupy less space. For dumbbells and etc you can store that in dumbell stand where you can also store weighted plates and other stuffs.
Storage is one of the important that comes after buying the equipment and it helps you to organize the dumbells or the plates according to there weights.
