Compare the Home Gym – What Kind of Home Fitness Gym Do You Want?

Compare these home gyms? You'll be surprised what I think constitutes a home fitness gym in your home.

Home fitness gyms can vary dramatically in size, equipment (or no equipment), and function. A home gym is simply a designated space for working out. The 3 types of home fitness gyms, as I classify them, are as follows:

1. Floor-Based Home Fitness Gym

Do you do yoga, aerobics, or workouts where your body-weight is the sole equipment? Is the space dedicated to it? If you answer yes to both questions, you have a floor-based home fitness gym in your home.

2. Fitness Machine Home Gym

A fitness machine room is a space dedicated to your treadmill, elliptical, stationary bike, or similar type of cardio equipment. You don't need multiple machines to qualify as a fitness machine gym... in my view.

3. Resistance Training Gym

This is what most people picture when they think of a gym in their home. Well, it's what I initially thought a home-based gym was before I put my mind to the subject. These days there are many types of weight training gyms you can create in your house. I dived these types into 3 categories:

• Lever style weight training. Lever style weight training equipment use swivelling arms which you push, pull, lift, and squat as your workout movements. There aren't pulleys or cables - just swivelling arms on which weight plates are placed.
• Machine-style weight lifting equipment. Machine style lifting equipment uses pulleys and a cable(s) that lifts weight stacks when you do your movement. Most machine-style weight lifting equipment targets a specific muscle group (as does most lever-arm weight lifting equipment).
• Free weight home gyms. Free weight gyms are a bench, dumbbells, and barbells. Maybe a squat rack and bench press. It's basic, but it gets the job done.

Whatever your workout space contains in your house, if you designate it as a place to lift weights, use an elliptical trainer, or do aerobics, you have a gym in your house.

If working out is your thing, then take advantage of all the great workout equipment you can get to create a terrific home fitness gym
