Doing some sport is really important to maintain our health. However, we don’t have much time, sometimes. Also, some sports need more budget to do. That is why here we recommend you have a private home gym in your house. Well, I know that some of you might think of the budget, and some others think of the space that makes it impossible to have a private home gym in the house. No need to worry because you can always make it on budget by doing some DIY projects and by choosing the needed items only based on your needs.
In this case, what is meant with the mini home gym DIY project is about designing and decorating the home gym by yourself. Also, there might be some possible facilities that you can make yourself such as the rack, storage, hanger, etc. Here we have some ideas about the facilities that can be made by doing the DIY projects. It can be beneficial where at least, you can save your budget.
DIY Pegboard Storage
The pegboard is an interesting one to have. You can install the rack and the hanger to any holes and position that you want. You can adjust it based on the gap space that you need. This pegboard storage can be used to store the tools, hang the tools, and even display decorative items. DIY Pegboard Storage from @lisa_faye_medina
Dumbbell Rack
By simply using the wood pallet, you can make a dumbbell rack. However, you should make sure that the wood material is still in good performance because the dumbbell will be heavy. You can make the shelves to be in a sloped surface to keep the dumbbell on the rack and not rolling. Wooden Dumbbell Rack from @hofzgym
Gym Equipment Storage
The storage is in the form of a cabinet rack with hooks to hang gym equipment. There are also some rack spaces that are designed in different lengths and heights to adjust the tools being stored there. In making this project, you can adjust the size based on your need.

Besides the space preparation and the furniture to store the tools, now you should prepare the tool itself. This one becomes something difficult for some of us because mostly, the tools will be pricey. However, there are still some possible tools that you can provide with good prices and can still function for sure to support your needs in sports. Otherwise, sometimes we don’t have any problem with the tools’ prices but the space limitation is our problem. In this case, you can choose some tools that can be effectively stored in fit sizes. We have a list of recommendations for the possible tools that can be quite cheap and won’t need too much space. Here is the list.
Resistance Bands
This one will be cheap enough and won’t need too much space to store. The resistance bands will be great for building muscle in the upper body and lower body. By using this tool, you don’t even need a large strength training machine. We recommend you purchase the ones with handles to give your hands comfort.
The resistance band that comes in one package like this is great. It will consist of different sizes and lengths to fulfill your needs in exercise. Resistance Band from @bull_fitness_online_store
Yoga Mat
The yoga mat will help you a lot. It can’t be replaced by the rug because the rug can be itchy and when the sweat is falling, it will be difficult for you to clean. The mat is way more effective to move, to clean, and able to give you maximum comfort for sure.
There will be varied yoga mat sizes that will be chosen based on the activity that will be done. We recommend you have them all so that you can facilitate yourself well. No need to worry because the price won’t be expensive. Yoga Mat from @basicallyyoga_
Dumbbell
A dumbbell is the most common tool to be provided at the gym. It can be said that all gyms have the dumbbell there. That is why you should also provide the dumbbell for your home gym. There will be varied sizes provided and you don’t need to have them all. You can choose the weights that will fit your needs and your strength conditions. You won’t need too much space to store the dumbbell and the prizes are varied so that you can choose the ones based on your budget.
This one is an example of the dumbbell set. There will be complete weights from the light to the heavy ones. Since not all of them will be used, you can purchase the fit weights for your muscles. Dumbbell Set from @abowlfulloflemons
Foam Roller
The foam roller is functional to stimulate the nervous system before and after your workout. It will relax the tension in your body. With the help of a foam roller, you can reduce muscle soreness, improve blood circulation, and prevent injury. This one is a simple tool that people commonly skip to purchase but since the functions are really great, we recommend you to have it in your private home gym.
The foam roller here is provided in one set with varied surface textures. The textures will give you different functions and benefits. You can also see that there is a small one that will be used for a certain area in your body. Foam Roller from @cnd_gallery.id
Bosu Ball
This ball will help you to deal with the stability exercise. This bosu ball can be used independently or you can pair it with other tools such as the dumbbell. The bosu ball is such a great addition to any fitness routine and can be a perfect size for your home gym.
Look at the size of the bosu ball that won’t be too big. It also fits the yoga mat really well so that you can pair them both together. The mat will help you to lower the risk of slipping. Bosu Ball from @bosuball.kr
Exercise Bike
This one might be the most expensive tool of all the tools that we already recommended to you but trust me it is worth it. Rather than spending your time outside, you can do it inside your home. No need to worry about the weather or time limitations. You can always do it in your house anytime.
This one is a simple exercise bike that won’t be too expensive. Well, even when there is no big screen for entertainment at least you can function the exercise bike well. Exercise Bike from @thrift_tokunbo
