What Size Should a Home Gym Be
Minimum effective home gym space is 8x8 feet for a folding rack and bench. A comfortable setup needs 10x10 feet for a full power rack plus movement space. Add 2-3 feet per side for plate loading and walking around equipment. Ceiling height needs 7.5+ feet for overhead work, 8+ feet for pull-ups on tall racks. More space is always better, but effective training happens in surprisingly compact areas.
