Imagine having to wake up 4 hours early before work because you want to stay on track on your fitness goal, but the gym is 30 minutes away from home. This is a common challenge for many Hong Kongers and today we’re here to help you.
There’s always been a misconception that building a home gym is impractical or not worthwhile because of the limited space in Hong Kong. Here are some small home gym ideas that could make your fitness life so much easier.
Social Trend
Home gyms are evolving. Rusty old equipment is no longer preferred. Smart gym equipment has been the best alternatives, as people are realizing it’s pretty cool to stream live workout classes from a high-tech device that tracks your reps and other stats.
The Smart gym that we recommend would be Tonal.
Pros:
-The setup occupies no floor space when not in use and extends a mere five inches from the wall.
-Tonal provides access to a diverse array of on-demand workouts.
-Enjoy 200 pounds of customizable resistance.
Cons:
-Tonal’s price tag may exceed the budget for many potential buyers.
-A workout area of seven feet by seven feet is required.
-On-demand workouts come with a monthly subscription fee of $60.
Traditional Home Gym
If you consider yourself an old-school gym rat who appreciates the tactile experience of loading and unloading plates, we have a recommendation for you.
A Smith machine with built in cable is all you need for your home gym. These machines offer a wide range of exercises.
The Smith machine allows you to perform chest exercises such as the bench press and incline bench press, as well as leg exercises like squats. To enhance your cable machine workouts, consider investing in a couple of different handles, which can effectively cover various triceps and biceps exercises.
Building a traditional gym at home has never been easier with these options and it actually take up a lot less space than you expected.
