Home Gym Planning Checklist
Proper planning prevents wasted money and disappointing setups. Start by measuring your space and checking ceiling height. Set a realistic budget including flooring and accessories. Define your primary training goals—strength, bodybuilding, CrossFit, or general fitness. Research equipment that aligns with those goals. Consider power requirements and ventilation. This checklist ensures you buy once and buy right.
