If you're going to be training at home, can you get the same level of quality in terms of equipment and benefits from your training as you get from a gym? The answer is yes, but with certain provisos. Home training can offer many advantages over gym training but equally, it can be attractive to visit a dedicated facility to train, rather than carry out exercises in front of the TV or in a spare room.

Advantages of home workouts

No monthly gym fees are required.
Can be inexpensive (basic equipment such as an exercise mat, dumbbells, and a stability ball can be purchased cheaply).
Saves time by eliminating travel to and from the gym.
Convenience? your training facility is always available whenever you feel like exercising.
No queuing to use your favorite piece of gym equipment.

Disadvantages home workouts

Needs the imagination to maintain interest in your training.
You need to ensure your form is correct without the supervision of a gym instructor, otherwise, injuries may occur.
The initial outlay can be high if you're planning to set up a gym in your own home.
It can become boring and de-motivating to continually train alone. At a public gym you'll find:
There is likely to be a greater range of equipment that you can't afford for your home gym.
More people, therefore, it is more social
Gymnasium equipment is constantly evolving so your local gym should be regularly updating the machines, whereas that may not be financially possible with a home gym.

What equipment do You need to train at home?

As with any activity, depending upon your available budget, you can create anything from a dedicated gymnasium facility to simply storing some dumbbells and other equipment and setting them up when needed. There is a huge variety of equipment on the market, the hardest part is deciding what not to buy. The following sections should help you decide what you can and cannot do without for your home gym.

Home gym Equipment:

Exercise mat
Stability ball
Dumbbells
Heart rate monitor
Workout bench

Dedicated home gym:

Free weights and dumbbells
Dedicated weights machines, for example, chest press machine
Cardiovascular equipment, for example, rower, treadmill, cross-trainer, stationary bike, etc
Weights benches
Heavy-duty matting (to protect the floor from weights damage)
Mirrors
Sound and/ or TV system

Train at home without any equipment

You can complete a perfectly good fitness routine at home, using nothing more than your own body weight. Tricep dips, the plank, mountain climbers, lunges, and bodyweight squats are all examples of great conditioning exercises. As you progress in your training, you can increase the reps you complete of each exercise, raise the number of sets and also reduce the rest time between sets.
