Canadian Winter Home Gym Considerations
Canadian winters hit -30°C in many regions—unheated garages are unusable without preparation. Insulate garage doors with kits from hardware stores. Electric heaters need 240V circuits for serious warming; 120V units struggle in extreme cold. Consider infrared heaters—they warm objects, not air, feeling warmer at lower air temperatures. Start your heater 30-45 minutes before training. Cold bars hurt—warm them with a space heater or your hands before lifting.
