Gym at home - from the setup to the training plan 

Did you know that one in four households has at least one exercise bike? This means that 25% of households own at least one piece of fitness equipment. If you regularly keep fit on the exercise bike or in the small home gym and do something for your health, you will quickly reach your limits. The wish that then arises for most of them: their own fitness room at home.

Who is a home gym suitable for?

First of all, not everyone will celebrate success in the gym at home. However, if you already manage to get excited about your exercise bike on a regular basis and just want to go one better, then you probably belong to one of the following groups for which a home gym is best suited. 

People who find it difficult to establish fixed routines

Establishing routines is difficult, because you are often guided or influenced by everyday requirements and deadlines. So if you can't always train at the same time and have to switch to the off-peak times of the day, then the gym at home is a good option to increase your fitness and achieve your athletic goals.

This group needs one thing above all: the ability to overcome one's weaker self. Routines are actually important in order to celebrate long-term success and to continue to develop athletic ability. 

People who want to train in a targeted and individual way

People who pursue a specific athletic goal often have a strong intrinsic motivation and can optimally implement their training plans in the gym at home. For example, if you are training for a specific sporting event such as a half marathon, marathon or even Ironman, you can lay the athletic foundation for sporting success in the fitness room at home.

Both endurance and muscle strength play an important role in most athletic competitions to celebrate success.

People who are good at motivating themselves on their own

The motivation to exercise alone is the most important basis for success. Individual and flexible training in the fitness room at home offers many advantages. You should take advantage of these advantages. So make your goals clear beforehand, develop an optimal training plan and use your fitness room as a sporting oasis of well-being.

You work on your fitness, on your health and are positively accompanied by your successes in everyday life. Sporting success has a significant influence on balance and satisfaction. 

Place for a gym

The dream of a fitness room at home is often limited by one's own space. Some train next to the drying rack or in the storage room. For many, the only option is to go to the basement. The fitness room in the basement is often not the best solution and can even be dangerous or unhealthy. You can find out why this is the case in the blog article linked here.  

The question arises as to the optimal place for a fitness room at home. The Palazzina modules offer the optimal opportunity to set up a fitness room. They can be individually adapted to your needs and sporting goals. An optimal place for your palazzina would be, for example, in the garden. The view of the countryside helps you to switch off and recover from your stressful everyday life. 

Palazzina – Gym at home 2.0 – How to set up your fitness room

The Palazzina is more than "just" a gym. The combinable modules have many advantages and offer you the optimal training environment. Whether you want to increase your endurance or strengthen your muscles, the modular home gym no longer has much to do with a single exercise bike.

You can divide your palazzina into different areas without having to do any modifications during training. The following areas can be accommodated in your home 2.0 fitness room. 

The Endurance Area

In the endurance area, you warm up and use cardio equipment to improve your fitness. Even after an intensive workout, cardio equipment will help you regenerate during your workout.

It is not for nothing that the bicycle or ergometer is so popular in the field of home fitness. Through joint-gentle training, you can build your endurance and watch an exciting series at the same time. Perfect for your workouts at home.

The Force Area

In addition to expanding endurance, building muscle is an essential fitness goal in the gym. That's why you should also consider a strength area in your modular gym.

Our tip for your power corner is the weight bench. A true classic and at the same time an all-rounder that allows you to do many different exercises.

An area for stretching and bodyweight training

Stretching and fitness exercises on the floor should not be neglected in your Palazzina. You can also provide an area for this. 

Your optimal training plan in the gym – How to create it

Now that you've set up your gym at home, it's time to help you achieve your training goals at home. The best way to do this is with an individual and personal training plan. In these six steps, you will get to the training plan, which will bring you closer to your successes step by step.

Step 1) Set goals

Whenever you start a transformation, you need concrete goals. When it comes to goal setting, it's important that you choose challenging but achievable goals. If the goals are too exaggerated, you will quickly lose motivation and skip the workouts in your home gym. Frustration would set in so quickly.

Step 2) Take stock

In the next step, you should be aware of where you currently stand. In doing so, you have to push yourself to your limits to know where they are and what you need to work on to achieve your goals. 

Step 3) Identify your training needs

The distance between targets and inventory captures represents your training needs. Your goal during the implementation of your training plan is to turn your plan into reality with targeted measures.

Step 4) Set up your training measures

Step 4 is exactly about these concrete training measures as well as the planning of training sessions in the fitness room at home. Ask yourself how you can close the gap between the goal and the current state. What are you currently missing to achieve your goal and how can you integrate the measures into your everyday life in a targeted manner? In your training plan, also note the duration of your training. This way you can be sure that there are no shifts in the implementation.

Step 5) Implement them consistently

Consistently implementing your training plan in the gym is the only way to really achieve your goals. You need to be aware of this throughout the implementation phase. It is important that the training plan is designed in such a way that it can also be seamlessly integrated into your everyday life. 

Step 6) Celebrate Successes 

For motivation, it is important to celebrate successes. This also includes perceiving intermediate successes. Celebrating the successes during the implementation phase of your training plan is important to maintain motivation and continue to work consistently on implementation. 

The home gym is a great way to achieve your athletic goals. For many people, it is the cornerstone of a healthy life and is therefore an important basis in a demanding and demanding everyday life.
