Whenever I get back home from college during those long summer months, I lose access to their gym. For me, exercising is very important, and not being able to do my cardio or workout easily really distracts me from my healthy life style. So recently, I gave some thought to having a gym at home; the same convenience as having a gym at school, but even better. I did my research and found it isn't as simple as buying some equipment and placing it all at home.
There are many different factors to consider before you even think about buying a particular piece of equipment. You really need to consider all the different factors including what type of exercises you want to do, hoe much room do you have...imagine buying over $10,000 worth of equipment (an impossible dream for a student like me), only to find out you can't even fit it into the room. So the very first thing you should look at is how much room you have in your house.
Once you've got that, you need to figure out how much money you're willing to sink into it. I think it's always to buy equipment after you get into the habit of working out; other wise you risk just wasting your money while the machine sits in the room. For that, best stick with your local gym as you'd probably save money (at least until you're used to working out). Once you do have the habit, buying equipment should be less of a guilt. Figure out how much you're willing to spend, but remember don't buy equipment that are subpar; it would be better to buy quality equipment over all. Figure out how much money you can and wiling to spend and stick with the budget.
It's not just the actual exercise equipment that you have to check out. Remember all the other things that needs go into an exercise room: mirrors, rubber paddings, ground mats...all these have to be calculated also in your budget.
After you've done your research and budgeting, it's finally time to go out and buy it. Generally there are two routes you can take: used equipment or new equipment. Each has its disadvantages and advantages: used equipment is cheaper, and you have the potential to buy quality, well taken care of equipment for a very good price. On the other hand, you might not have warranty/support from the company, plus the equipment might only look like it's in a good shape.
New equipment has the advantage of being unused, guaranteed to be clean (although if you worked out at a gym, this shouldn't really be an issue), and proper support from the manufacturers. Only problem is the price. If you do choose used, always make sure to inspect the equipment properly before making a decision to buy.
Buying equipment for your gym can be an exciting and worthwhile endeavour. make sure you do everything you can so it'd be as smooth as possible.
