When you are picking out the equipment that you are going to use to build your new home gym there are several things that you will want to consider.

First, you will want to decide how you are you going to build your home gym. You can either buy everything at once and start off fully equipped right out of the gate, or you can buy the most important piece and slowly build as you go along.

If you feel that you might fizzle out and become disinterested, then you should make the investment and buy multiple pieces at once. If you feel that you are disciplined enough to stay consistently involved with only one piece, than you should feel comfortable buying only the single piece to begin with.

Buying a home gym is both a commitment and an investment. It is often tempting to want to start out with only one piece to
