Any home gyms that you recommend?

Sunday, May 6th, 2012

I want the gym to be able to MAINLY work out, burn fat, and tone the core, and if it can, work out the rest of the body. We need the home gym to be large enough so that a 6 foot+ male, 200 lbs+ male can use it.

We need it to be under 300 bucks. We thought about the Ab Rocket Twister, but it only works on people 5′10", 200 lbs under

Probably be better of investing in a set of adjustable dumbells. Free weights will work more muscle recruit more stabilizers and burn more calories. Adjustable dumbells will also save you a little money in the long run and will grow with you as you get stronger.

Home Gyms Make Fitness Part of Your Healthy Lifestyle

A while back while on Vacation with my Family, I was able to drag my Dad out for a workout at the hotel gym. After working out each day with me during that vacation, he decided to go home and set up a gym in his garage and drop his gym membership. He started out by going to see my buddies at http://www.specialtyfitness.com/ where they installed some rubber flooring in his new home gym. The other pieces of the home gym are a TRX Suspension Trainer using the Xmount in a beam to anchor it, an Indo Board, Dumbbells, and Finally a TRUE Elliptical Machine.

In this interview I did with my Father, he explains how much he is enjoying working out at home and How after 2.5 years or so his home gym will be paid for with the money he was spending for his gym membership. In addition, since the gym is in his home, he doesn’t need to drive anywhere and thus he is much more consistent at getting his workouts done. He doesn’t need to waste time driving to the gym in order to get a workout in, therefore there is one more barrier to getting in the gym that is removed.

Even though he is in his early 60’s he is feeling more energetic, sharper, and fitter than he has in a long time. This Exercise routine he has begins early in the morning as he watches business news while exercising on the True Elliptical machine and it prepares him for his busy days as a professor and consultant. This is all part of his new Healthy, Active Lifestyle that I have been preaching to him about for years.

how does the weight on my home gyms bench press compare to an actual bar press?

Wednesday, December 14th, 2011

I have a marcy pro platinum home gym, which uses pulleys etc to attach the desired weight to do multiple different exercises. It has a bench press function, but I dont think that it is on par with a real bench press, as i can bench over 155 lbs on there, but im a 14 year old boy who weighs around 110. Any ideas on how it compares? thanks in advance

To put that into perspective for you,on the smith machine I can bench 290Lbs but free weight its only 195Lbs.

Conclusion: Your machine is much easier than a free weight bench press and also free weight involves a lot of secondary muscles as stabilizers whereas machine works only the chest.

How to set up an affordable home gym. Short video showing all the key components for a great home gym including Bowflex, incline treadmill, elliptical and more. Home gyms are great because they are ready when you are. This entire gym was put together for less than $2,000 dollars using Craigslist for great deals. I am in the best shape of my life and have recently cracked 200 lbs of solid muscle using this gym.

compact home gyms you recommend?

Thursday, September 29th, 2011

Hi, my wife and I are moving into our first apartment next month and we are looking for a very small home gym. Maybe one that attaches to a door or one that can sit against a wall but not be attached to the wall. Can any one recommend something good? We live in New Hampshire and want to stay fit during our first winter and all the other winters to come.

I would recommend along with the other recommendations a swiss or exercise ball make sure you get the right size for your height. There are many exercises that can be done with a ball. Ball can be used as a bench substitute as well. You also might want to consider some resistance bands. I know many exercise demos and websites and books you could use. If you have any questions or would like my help please email me komodo_dragon1973@yahoo.com
