Gym memberships can be expensive, being locked into a contract can be annoying, not having the time to go to the gym or having the desire to leave your house after a long day of work can all be a pain, especially if you live far away from your gym. Then, once you do get to the gym you might have to wait to use the machine that you wanted to use because it is being occupied by someone else, and you have to deal with wiping off every machine you use before and after. This is why having a home gym can be so much better than going somewhere to workout. Here are a few reasons why having a home gym is awesome!
Save Time
Instead of spending time on the road going to the gym and back, you can use that time for things that require your attention at home, like your family, pets and the meal you’re cooking for dinner. What if there’s traffic on the road? That would waste even more of your precious time.
Save Money
Save yourself money by not buying a gym membership. The average gym membership costs between $40 to $50 a month, but when you add the initiation fee, you’re looking at as much as $800 a year. Some gym memberships contracts are almost impossible to break from since they are legally binding contracts. Which means, you will continue paying for them even if you don’t show up to the gym anymore. Then, there’s the price of gas to get you from point A to point B. Gas prices always fluctuate, so there’s not telling how much money you would spend in a year going to the gym and back.
Convenient
A home gym will eliminate most of your excuses for not working out. You can listen to your own music on your stereo instead of listening to whatever music is being played at the gym. No need to mess up your eardrums by using earphones in order to listen to your favorite music while working out. You can decorate your home gym anyway you want, it’s your house. Your home gym is open 7 days a week, 365 days a year, never a closing time.
