How to Build Your Own CrossFit Style Gym at Home

- saving monthly on gym memberships
- not having to wait on other people at the gym
- the convenience of not having to leave the house
- the ability to workout whenever you want
- the ability to workout with your kids nearby (if you are a mommy)
- privacy and comfort
What's in my home gym? Here are some great pieces of equipment to get you started for a CrossFit style gym:
- Kettlebells
- Dumbbells
- Resistance Bands
- Medicine Balls
- Ab Bench
- Plyo Box
- Jump Rope
- Pull Up Bar
- 15 foot rope
- Weighted Vest
- Ab mat
- Dip Station
- Squat Racks
- Foam Mats
- Bumper Plates
- Tractor Tire
- Bench Press Stand
- Space (to run, to do body weight exercises such as jumping jacks, mountain climbers, etc)
- And the list goes on....
This is just my personal list. Please keep in mind that you do not have to go out and purchase each and every one of these. Some of these can even be made at home or that you can DIY to save money. To each their own!
One con of a home gym is that it just takes time to build-unless your crazy rich or know how to find a great deal! So do not get discouraged at the idea of creating your own home gym just yet.
What would you add to your home gym?
