Six reasons why a home gym is your best bet
Updated | By Poelano Malema
One of the most popular things on New Year’s resolution lists is to join the gym.
This is because most people gain weight during the festive season and want to head to the gym in January to shed that weight.
Even those who have not necessarily gained weight might just want to start exercising in order to stay healthy.
So if you are one of those who was anticipating joining a gym, maybe you should consider having your own gym in your home?
There are a number of reasons why having a gym in your home is the best option:
- For one, especially now in January, the gym will be packed, and you might have to wait to use the gym equipment. Having your own gym, however, means that you don’t have to share your equipment with the masses and you can use them as you please.
- Gym can be quiet costly. There are joining fees and monthly fees that you need to pay. Having your own home gym will save you lots of money.
- One way a home gym saves you money is that you won’t have to worry about transportation to get to the gym. With the petrol price being so high, the extra money that you save can go a long way.
- You don’t even have to stress about having to sign a gym contract that binds you. Cancelling such contracts is usually a hassle and sometimes you may even be charged penalty fees. If you have your own home gym, you don’t have to sign any contract.
- Let’s face it, having to share a shower with everyone at gym can be frustrating and a little bit gross, but if you have your own gym at home, you can comfortably shower or bath in the comfort of your own bathroom.
- Having your own gym also means you can exercise anytime of the day in the comfort of your own home.
