I built the home gym of my dreams without spending more than $250 on any exercise machine
Gyms across the country took a huge hit last year. Even though things have reopened, it may still be quite a while before some of them fully recover. Sadly, many of them have already closed permanently due to a lack of business. It’s definitely a bummer, but it’s also a tough business to be in right now. I love going to the gym and as much as I’m rooting for small independent gym owners. But there’s no way I’m personally going back to the gym anytime soon. Clearly, there are plenty of other people out there who feel the same way.
Like so many of you, I’ve turned to apps instead. Interactive fitness apps are more than enough to motivate me and they’re typically much less expensive than a gym membership. On top of that, I’ve spent the past year building my own home gym with all the exercise machines I need. No, I didn’t spend thousands and thousands of dollars building a home gym in my basement. Not even close. Believe it or not, the figure is actually in the hundreds. Are you wondering how I pulled it off? Well, you’ll be happy to learn that the answer is very simple: Amazon is packed full of well-reviewed home gym gear that costs so much less than you think.
