Creating your own home gym is easier than you think. You don’t need a lot of money or space to get started. With just a few tools and a plan, you can turn a spare room, basement, or even a corner of your living room into a fitness space you’ll want to use every day.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Pick the Right Spot

You don’t need a huge room. Just choose a space that’s quiet, has good airflow, and is free from clutter. Good spots include:

• Garage
• Basement
• Spare bedroom
• Living room corner

2. Set a Budget

Decide how much you want to spend. You can start with just $100 and add more later.

3. Choose the Right Equipment

Start with the basics. These tools work for most people and fit in small spaces:

• Resistance bands
• Adjustable dumbbells
• Yoga mat
• Jump rope
• Stability ball
• Pull-up bar

Want to lift heavier or do strength training? Add:

• Adjustable bench
• Barbell and weight plates
• Squat rack or power rack

4. Use Wall Space

Keep things organized by using the walls. Add:

• Hooks for resistance bands
• Shelves for storage
• Mirrors to check your form

5. Stay on Track with a Routine

Having the gear is great, but sticking to a plan is key. Create a workout schedule and set goals for yourself. Apps like PumpPal make it easy to plan workouts and track your progress.
