Frequently Asked Questions

What gym equipment is best for small spaces?

Adjustable dumbbells (replace 15+ pairs), resistance bands, foldable bench, and a doorway pull-up bar. For cardio, a foldable bike or walking pad stores easily.

Can I have a home gym in an apartment?

Yes - use quiet equipment (magnetic bikes, rubber mats) and avoid dropping weights. Adjustable dumbbells and resistance bands work perfectly in any apartment. Check your lease for any restrictions.

How much space do I need for a home gym?

Minimum 6' x 6' for basic strength training. You can work out in less space with adjustable dumbbells and bodyweight exercises. Foldable equipment helps when you're done.
