For some it may feel that we\u2019re in the 97th<\/sup> Lockdown since the Covid pandemic gripped the entire world with its ugly and devasting hold. Since we\u2019ve all be force to retreat into our homes, the longing for what we used to do is strong. Simply things like going to a bar, eating in a restaurant or working out at the gym have been swiped away with one stroke of an antibacterial wipe. The truth is that we miss those simple things so much because of how it made us feel \u2013 to be social, to be amongst others and to work out.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

All these desire can be linked back to our psychological need to do things that made us feel good. The gym made us feel good \u2013 it might have hurt at the start or the way through, but once a workout was complete the uplift in those feelgood emotions had us hooked for more. So as the lockdowns took away another part of our daily routine, many discerning gents have been looking at ways to bring the gym to them in the form of a home gym.<\/p>\n

All that he asks his clients to consider is 1) room size including ceiling heights as some strength or cardio machines can exceed 2.3m in height, 2) ventilation (open windows or air conditioning), 3) availability of natural light and finishing touches like AV systems and 4) interior fascia. However, Mark is able to overcome almost all of this, no job is too big or too small.<\/p>\n

Like many of his clients, the real issue with home gyms is space restrictions, at this point, he has to be clever with space, from multifunctional, cost effective and space saving solutions, such as the fitness wall, which allows a multitude of exercises, whilst being flush to the wall, and opening up to reveal storage, to cardio equipment with the technology that allows for\u00a0 a variety of on demand exercise classes.<\/p>\n

For those with restricted space, he recommends the following:<\/p>\n
