Create a home gym that suits your needs and space. We'll help you with equipment, planning, and tips to get started.
Building a home gym gives you the freedom to train on your own terms, without having to leave home. Whether you have a dedicated gym room, a basement, a garage, or just a corner of the living room, there are solutions to suit all spaces and budgets.
With the right equipment and planning, you can create a training environment that makes it easier to stay active regularly and achieve your goals.
There are many advantages to investing in your own home gym.
You can train when it suits you, without having to adapt to opening hours, travel times, or weather conditions.
A home gym can be a smart investment over time. You save money on gym memberships, travel, and other ongoing costs.
At home, you can train at your own pace without feeling observed. This makes it easier to focus on your training and develop at your own speed.
You can create a training environment that reflects your personal preferences, goals, and needs. Choose equipment that suits your specific training and expand your gym step by step.
What equipment you should choose depends on your training goals, how much space you have, and your budget. Here are some common options.
For those who want to train both large and small muscle groups, versatile equipment is a good choice. Examples of good basic equipment include:
A barbell and weight plates are suitable for those who want to focus on strength training. With the right weights, you can perform classic basic exercises such as squats, deadlifts, bench presses, and overhead presses.
Cardio machines are a good option for those who want to improve their fitness, increase endurance, or supplement their strength training.
A treadmill is perfect for indoor running and walking. It makes it easy to train regardless of weather and season.
An exercise bike is gentle on the joints and suitable for endurance training, warm-ups, and rehabilitation.
A rowing machine provides effective full-body training and works on fitness, strength, and endurance.
A cross trainer provides gentle full-body training where you combine cardio and strength effectively.
For those who want more training opportunities at home, gym machines can be a good choice.
A multi-gym is a compact solution that allows you to perform several different exercises on one machine. It's suitable for those who want to train their whole body without buying many separate machines.
A cable cross offers great variety in training and is particularly good for isolated exercises, functional training, and controlled movements.
Before you start furnishing your home gym, it's important to consider space, placement, and safety.
Make sure you have enough space for the equipment and to move freely. A smaller home gym can work well in just a few square meters, while larger machines require more space.
Some exercises require higher ceiling height, especially if you train with a barbell, jump rope, pull-up bar, or resistance bands.
A well-ventilated space makes training more pleasant and helps keep the room fresh.
Good lighting is important for both safety and motivation. A bright and well-planned training area makes it easier to get started.
Protect the floor with rubber gym flooring. It dampens sound, reduces the risk of floor damage, and provides a more stable surface during training.
The cost of a home gym varies depending on the quality, quantity, and function of the equipment. A basic home gym can cost a few thousand kronor, while a more advanced home gym with larger machines can cost tens of thousands of kronor.
A good tip is to start with the most basic equipment and expand over time. This way, you can adapt your home gym to your goals, your fitness level, and your budget.
It depends on what equipment you plan to use. For a basic home gym, 4–6 square meters is often sufficient. For a more extensive gym, you may need 10–15 square meters or more.
For beginners, dumbbells, kettlebells, resistance bands, and a workout bench are recommended. This equipment provides a good foundation for both strength training and functional training.
It depends on what exercises you plan to perform. For most exercises, a ceiling height of approximately 220–230 cm is sufficient. If you want to do jumping exercises, use a barbell, or train with certain machines, a higher ceiling height can be an advantage.
Also, keep in mind that treadmills often require a little extra height because you stand elevated on the machine when running.
The cost varies depending on the quality and quantity of the equipment. A simple home gym can cost a few thousand kronor, while a more advanced home gym with larger machines can cost tens of thousands of kronor.
Yes, it is perfectly fine to build a home gym in an apartment. Choose quiet and compact machines, and use floor protection to protect the floor and dampen sound. It's also good to consider neighbors and choose equipment that doesn't cause unnecessary vibrations.
Start with the space, training goals, and target users for the gym. A corporate gym often needs a clear balance between cardio, strength, and ease of use, while a home gym can be more tailored to personal goals.
Used gym equipment can provide high performance at a lower investment than new. At Gymdealen, you'll find equipment from established brands that is built for heavy use and a long lifespan.
We'll help you further with advice, quotations and practical questions regarding delivery. Our goal is to make it easier to choose the right machines from the start and create a gym that lasts over time.
