We don’t know about you, but a gym membership can get pretty expensive real quick, and let’s not even mention Crossfit costs! You may counter that argument with something like, “yeah, but it costs a lot more to buy your own home gym equipment.” It only seems that way on the surface.
Buying your own garage gym equipment and putting together a home gym in the garage is more of an investment. When you sign up for a gym membership, you’re looking at roughly $20-30 bucks a month, but for about 26 months on average. Which means up to $780, and that’s being somewhat conservative.
With $780 you can do more than just build a Crossfit garage gym, you can lay the foundation for a strength training workout area in the house. Think about the additional costs you would incur: gas costs, extra gear to look good, miscellaneous additions on top of regular membership.

The Benefits of Building a Garage Gym
Here are some of the perks we leave you with to consider when deciding on whether you should put some exercise machines and other workout equipment in your garage, aside from just parking your car.
You Save Time
According to almost every survey known to man on “ reasons preventing you from exercising, ” not enough time was the overwhelming answer. Having a garage gym eliminates the travel time to and from the gym, which can easily save you an hour or more a day; not to even mention those traffic days!
You Save Money
Directly correlated to the time saving aspect of investing in a home gym, the less you drive the less money you spend on gas. More importantly, the initial upfront investment for a home gym more than pays itself off in the long run, when compared to a gym membership. Membership money you will never get back, but once you buy the machines, they’re yours to own!
You Become More Efficient
No waiting for equipment, no chit-chat with sometimes pointless and direction-less topics. No planning around busy gym times and/or gym classes. You’re on your own schedule, which means you’ll essentially get more done in a shorter period of time. Before long you’ll ask yourself why people go to those public gyms anyway, when building a garage gym is clearly offering so many benefits.
You Increase Your Success Rate
Because working out will feel less like a chore, and more like a natural thing to do at home, you success rate will be on the up. You’ll do things in the comfort of your own home that you wouldn’t normally do at the gym (i.e. grunting, yoga, cardio, etc.). These are all critical components to a proper strength training exercise regiment as well as an overall healthy lifestyle.
You’re Around Your Family More
There is nothing more important than spending the short time we have on this planet with our loved ones.Whether it’s your husband/wife, kids, or parents.
