Are you considering moving your workout to your own four walls, but are still unsure whether it makes sense? We'll show you the flexibility of your own home gym and what advantages a home workout offers you compared to training in a gym.

1. time saving in the home gym

The time factor is playing an increasingly important role for many people - certainly for you too. Finding the right work-life balance is often not that easy. However, a home gym saves you a lot of time and makes you much more flexible when it comes to organising your day.

This also saves you the excuse that you don't have time for your workout today. After all, anyone can make time for half an hour a day - especially when it comes to their own health.

Not tied to opening hours

Your home gym is available at any time - so you can train whenever you want and don't have to adhere to specific opening hours. So you can do a quick workout between appointments without too much effort. This gives you complete flexibility. The only downside: you should of course be considerate of your neighbours if you want to train early in the morning or late in the evening.

This is where a floor protection mat comes in handy, which you can place under your fitness equipment. This not only ensures safe footing and offers protection against your equipment slipping, but also insulates the training noise - which will certainly please your neighbours.

No waiting times for devices

In the gym, you often have the problem that the training equipment you want to use next is occupied. In your own four walls, this problem simply disappears into thin air. Here you don't have to wait for certain machines** and can switch from cross trainer to rowing machine or ergometer as you wish. This allows you to exercise at your own pace. Your training session can be carried out without interruption and you prevent your body from cooling down due to waiting. Often, alternative equipment in the gym is also occupied, which takes up a lot of your time and you don't use your time effectively.

The same applies the other way round, of course. You don't feel stressed if someone is waiting for a machine that you are currently using. You use your home gym equipment all to yourself.

No more travelling

Another time-saving factor is that you don't have to travel to your home gym - after all, you're right where you want to be. This is a huge time saver, especially if you have a tight schedule during the week. A journey of 10 minutes alone takes around 1.5 hours for four to five training sessions a week, which you can definitely use more efficiently and sensibly.

2. privacy is a top priority

For many people, entering a gym is often a barrier because they feel they are being watched. Are you one of these people? Then the home gym is definitely the right place for you: This uncomfortable feeling is easily avoided here. You no longer need to be afraid to try out new exercises and simply train in the way that is ideal for you. Caution: Just make sure you do the exercises correctly with the help of training programmes, apps or other online offers.

Another advantage: You can dress however you like in your home gym. So put on your comfy sports clothes that you would probably never wear to the gym - let alone leave the house in.

3. cost savings with home workouts

You're probably wondering whether a home gym is more likely to incur costs than avoid them. Of course, the purchase costs for certain fitness equipment are often not low. However, we are sure to have the right equipment for your price range. Our range extends from space-saving small machines to studio-quality training equipment. In addition, high-quality fitness equipment that you use for several years pays for itself after a relatively short time.

Compared to the gym, you save on monthly membership fees, which are now around €30-50 and can cost you as much as €300-400 per year. Of course, you shouldn't underestimate the cost of travelling to the gym - especially in the city, your car will consume even more fuel. So you're even doing something good for the environment**.

Our recommendation: With *high-quality, durable equipment* you will save money in the long run. Even if the purchase costs seem high at first, they quickly pay for themselves thanks to the durability of the fitness equipment.

4. high concentration in your home gym

Many people use the gym to meet up with friends, meet new people and socialise. That's perfectly fine, of course, but it disturbs your concentration when you actually go to the gym to do your workout. At home, you can concentrate much better and do your training conscientiously. You also won't be disturbed by someone waiting for your machine. All these distractions are eliminated for you in the home gym. You train all to yourself - away from the hustle and bustle of the gym.

Home workouts therefore seem to be an excellent alternative to the gym if you want to concentrate fully on your training sessions and save time in the long run. Now all you need to do is set up your home gym - customise it with your desired fitness equipment and you're ready to start training.
