Lifting at home

booombeeeem · June 2015

Doesnt kill me to get a gym membership if needed but it would be so much cheaper just having a free weight set at home. Is gym necessary? Im not looking to build myself too much, just keeping myself in shape.

I got a power cage last year and I consider it a great investment. I am able to do all the exercises I like. The only things I occasionally miss are dumbbells and bumper plates. Total investment was a little under $2000 iirc.

I have cobbled together a set of equipment at home, piece by piece. I workout at home 90% of the time. I only go to the gym for a change of scenery or if I decide I want to use a piece of equipment that I don't have at home.

I much prefer working out at home. If you have the space for a rack, barbell and bench then go for it.

If you have the space do it! I have been a member to just about every gym in the area and would never go back now that I have my home gym. So much more convenient. Look on Craigslist and garage sales. I picked up a sweet Olympic barbell, weights and bench for $50 and most of the other pieces I've bought through Amazon. In the long run it is more cost effective to have it at home.
