A healthy lifestyle has become so firmly established in our lives that many equip a gym right in the apartment. Of course, if the size of the room allows, this is not difficult to do. But if there is not enough space, you will have to work hard. But on the other hand, if everything is well thought out, it will be possible to train right at home - for free and at any time of the day.
The atmosphere of the gym can be called "furniture" with a stretch, but still let's try to figure out what should be there. It should be borne in mind that, first of all, a gym is a room where it is comfortable to play sports. But the aesthetic component should not be forgotten either.
How to equip a gym in an apartment?
The gym does not require a lot of space - any small room is enough (even an attic will do). You can visually expand it with the help of mirrors on the walls (besides, this increases the effectiveness of training). In a multi-storey building, a loggia or storage room can be allocated for a gym.
Do not forget that during training a person sweats, so you should make sure that the home gym is ventilated and heated. It is good if the systems control unit is adjusted manually.
When arranging the simulators, you need to make sure that there is enough space for the approach, otherwise you can get injured (their set depends on the functional purpose of the hall). It is worth remembering that professional cardio equipment is volatile, so you should think about grounding.
Gym style
Psychologists say that for the design of the gym it is better to choose a solid light color - this will make classes comfortable. But there is another opinion, according to which bright colors make training more dynamic. Thus, the choice of color for the gym depends only on personal preferences. Alternatively, pastel colors can be diluted with bright, original accents. As for the material, most often the walls of the gym are covered with embossed plaster.
Furniture
Furniture for the gym should be chosen from natural materials. If there is not enough space, then it is better if it folds. The color of the furniture should match the overall style of the room. Typically used as flooring carpet lint-free, linoleum, laminate rugged, cork or anti-slip tiles.
Advice
- It's hard to imagine a gym without a clock, with which you can control the time of individual exercises.
- It is convenient to place floor scales right there, and be weighed on them before and after training.
- It would be useful to put a music center or a TV on which it is so convenient to watch a set of exercises performed or your favorite TV series.
- For motivation, you can hang posters with thematic slogans or a weight loss / muscle building scale.
- It is better to limit the decor elements in the gym - there is little use for them, but there is plenty of dust that you have to breathe during training.
