Mirafit How to Set Up a Home Gym on a Budget

Commercial gyms may give you access to a wide range of equipment, but there are plenty of downsides that come along with that.

The gym can be crowded and people will be using equipment you need. It can be loud and distracting when you need to focus 100% on your workout, and it’s inconvenient to travel to and from the gym.

It can also be intimidating for beginners who feel out of place among advanced lifters working out with weights that you can’t even pick up.

This is why many people dream of having a home gym: the privacy, convenience, and complete freedom make it the perfect way to work out.

However, too many people think this dream of a home gym is unattainable, they think it’ll be too expensive or take up too much room. Thankfully neither of these have to be the case, here are three of our home gym packages specifically designed to suit your needs without breaking the bank, as well as a list of some of the exercises you can do with each of them.

Home Gym Weight Bench Package

This Home Gym Weight Bench Package includes a flat bench and a weight tree with 6 sets of dumbbells ranging all the way from 1kg to 20kg each, which makes them ideal for unilateral work and a range of dumbbell exercises.

The weight tree allows for easy and compact storage of the dumbbells, and the flat bench can be used to train your upper body, lower body, and core, making it perfect for beginners and people who are short on space and can’t dedicate an entire garage or spare room to a home gym.

Suggested Exercises

• Dumbbell flyes

• Dumbbell rows

• Step ups

• Seated lateral raises

• Rear delt flyes

• Bulgarian split squats

Home Gym Squat Rack Package

This Home Gym Squat Rack Package includes a height and width adjustable squat rack, a 7ft Olympic bar with collars, and 50kg of Olympic bumper plates.

The small footprint and just 66cm depth means the rack can sit close against the wall to take up minimal space, making it perfect for people who want to perform barbell movements, but are still short on space.

The barbell also means that you can perform a variety of exercises with differing weights, allowing for continued strength progression.

Suggested Exercises

• Incline push ups

• Upright rows

• Barbell split squats

• Overhead press

• Romanian deadlift

• Inverted rows

Home Gym Power Rack Package

This Home Gym Power Rack Package is the perfect choice for more serious lifters who can have a dedicated workout space, such as a garage gym.

The power rack is by far the safest choice for performing heavy compound movements, and the wide range of optional rack attachments available lets you turn a single rack into a complete home gym with a cable system, dip bars, landmine attachment, and more.

And with the included barbell and choice of 60kg, 100kg, or even 150kg of Olympic bumper plates you will be able to load up the bar for a long time to come.

If you want to take your strength training to the next level, a power rack is well worth the added safety and functionality.

Suggested Exercises

• Back squats

• Split squats

• Barbell rows

• Pull ups

• Floor press

• Seated pin press

So now you’ve seen three of our Home Gym Packages and what you can do with each one. Whatever your level of experience, price point, or amount of space you have available, one of them is guaranteed to suit your needs and carry you forwards in your fitness journey.
