Minimalistic Home Gym Essentials: What You Really Need

Minimalistic Home Gym Essentials: What You Really Need

Minimalist me is a mix of a passion for organization, functional accessibility and efficiency. More is not always better in a gym and how you select, store and use your gym equipment is the key to having a minimalistic home gym. I have picked 7 minimalistic home gym essentials so you can get an awesome workout without cluttering your space. 

And to be clear, this minimalist idea isn’t a trend. It is actually taking it back to where fitness started, where distractions were fewer and simplicity guided decision making. This is certainly in contrast to today’s world where we are trying to do everything, all the time, all at once. With fewer distractions and more intentional equipment choices, you can create a workout environment that fosters consistency and discipline. Plus, one of my favorites, a minimalist home gym is easier to maintain and can fit into almost any living space.

7 Minimalist Home Gym Essentials

1. Adjustable Dumbbells

Adjustable dumbbells is one of the more obvious choices for a minimalist home gym. They offer the versatility of multiple weights in a single, compact package. With adjustable dumbbells, you can perform a wide range of exercises, from strength training to endurance style workouts, without needing an entire rack of various size weights. Important to note that these can be heavy enough to still significantly challenge yourself or for people of different strength levels use the same set.

You can check out this dumbbell only workout for a program to use in your home gym.

Why You Need It:

  • – Saves space compared to traditional dumbbells.
  • – Provides a full-body workout option.
  • – Suitable for all fitness levels.

2. TRX | Suspension Trainer

Suspension trainers, such as a TRX,  are lightweight, portable, and incredibly versatile, making them a must-have for any minimalist home gym. They can be used for strength training, stretching, and even rehabilitation exercises. They cater to different fitness abilities and goals without taking up much space. They can be installed several different ways making them also great for travel and small spaces.

You can check out the TRX Resource for exercises and workouts to do with your TRX. 

Why You Need It:

  • – Perfect for a wide range of exercises.
  • – Easy to store and travel with.
  • – Great for both beginners and advanced users.

3. Yoga Mat

A high-quality yoga mat is an essential part of your minimalist home gym. It provides the necessary cushioning for floor exercises, yoga, and stretching routines. Look for a durable, non-slip mat that offers both comfort and support. Important to note that yoga mats are sold in different thickness and material. Depending on your use you can purchase a thicker yoga mat that provides more cushion and comfort. 

Why You Need It:

  • – Enhances comfort during floor exercises.
  • – Provides a dedicated space for workouts.
  • – Easy to clean and store.

4. Pull-Up Bar

A pull-up bar is a simple, yet effective piece of equipment that can be easily installed in a doorway. It allows you to perform a variety of upper body exercises, such as pull-ups and chin-ups. It also allows for combination exercises targeting the upper body and core, like flexed arm leg raises. A bonus would be that resistance bands (easy to store and just missed this list!) can be used as assistance during pull-ups to allow more skill levels to use the pull-up bar.

Why You Need It:

  • – Inexpensive and easy to install.
  • – Strengthens the upper body and core.
  • – Takes up minimal space.

5. Stability Ball

A stability ball is a versatile addition to your home gym. It can be used for core workouts, balance training, and even as a substitute for a bench during strength training. The instability of the ball forces your body to engage more muscles, adding another element 

You can check out Stability Ball Training Resource for workouts you can start doing today!

Why You Need It:

  • – Improves core strength and balance.
  • – Multi-functional and space-saving.
  • – Adds variety to your workouts.

6. Jump Rope

Don’t underestimate the power of a jump rope. It’s one of the most effective tools for cardiovascular training and can be stored easily in a drawer or hung on a hook. Jumping rope is an excellent way to improve coordination, burn calories, and enhance cardiovascular health.

Why You Need It:

  • – Provides an intense cardio workout.
  • – Compact and portable.
  • – Inexpensive and easy to use.

7. Foam Roller

A foam roller is essential for recovery and injury prevention. It helps release muscle tightness, improve flexibility, and speed up recovery after workouts. Incorporating foam rolling into your routine can prevent injuries and ensure that your muscles are ready for the next workout. 

Read more about recovering from your workouts!

Why You Need It:

  • – Aids in muscle recovery and flexibility.
  • – Reduces muscle soreness.
  • – Compact and easy to store.

8. BONUS. Rowing Machine

Depending on your space I would highly recommend a rowing machine is a powerful addition to a minimalist home gym, offering a comprehensive full-body workout in a single piece of equipment. Unlike many other fitness machines, a rowing machine effectively targets multiple muscle groups simultaneously, including your legs, core, back, and arms. It’s an ideal tool for building strength, improving cardiovascular health, and burning calories—all while taking up minimal space.

Why You Need It:

  • – Engages over 80% of your muscles.
  • – Low impact workout, great for all ages.
  • – Compact and foldable options

A minimalist approach to fitness is truly about focusing on the basic principles of exercise and letting consistency and discipline lead you to your results. By carefully selecting essential, versatile equipment, you can create a home gym that promotes focus, efficiency, and long-term success. Let’s embrace the minimalist mindset, cut through the noise and make deliberate choices that enhance your fitness journey without overwhelming you or your living space. 

So, as you set up your minimalistic home gym, remember that less really can be more. It’s about creating a space where consistency and discipline thrive, where every piece of equipment has a purpose, and where your workouts are as streamlined as they are effective. Start by choosing your essentials wisely, and watch how simplicity can transform your workouts. Share your minimalist gym setup with us using #MinimalistFitness and inspire others to embrace the power of less!

Discipline in Fitness: How to Achieve Your Goals

Discipline in Fitness: How to Achieve Your Goals

After many years of working out and hearing the same question, “how do you motivate yourself to workout everyday?” I have a not-so-secret secret to share… It isn’t about motivation. It is about discipline. 

While motivation might get you started on your fitness journey, it can often feel like a fleeting emotion, coming and going without much warning. Discipline is what bridges the gap on the days motivation has decided to take a break. This is important, because we ALL have those days. From the hall of fame athletes to the single moms to the injury rehabilitation patients. It happens to us all. 

Now for my real secret, discipline is something you curate over time. It is one of life’s hard skills. You are never too old or too young to work on your discipline. It will serve you in every corner of your life. 

And guess what? Being a disciplined person is simple. Don’t let anyone (especially yourself) convince you otherwise.

The Simplest Path to Discipline in Fitness

The most important step you can take to improving your discipline is understanding what you are working towards and why. That is your buy-in and without a strong buy-in your failure rate will sky rocket. Sounds simple, right?

It is. The problem is that people don’t like what happens during the “understanding” stage. Do you know why? I’ll give you a hint, the answer is almost always the same regardless of the goal. 

It turns out, what needs to be done in order to achieve a goal is harder than a person wants it to be.

Now entering the chat… the cliche, “If it was easy, everyone would do it”.

Mindset

Fitness Digital Wall ArtIf you accept the above – that the path to achieving your goal is going to be harder than you want it to be – then you are halfway to developing the mindset of a disciplined person. Being disciplined isn’t about having your shit so put together that nothing ever goes wrong. That’s perfectionism and it is toxic. 

Discipline is the synergy between your heart and mind. What you desire and what you believe. What you strive for and what you think is possible. What you can dream and what you know to be true. 

Developing a mindset that is rooted in fact, fueled by possibility, and accepting of an imperfect path.

How do you do that? 

You try. Set a goal. Make a plan. Take action.

Learn. Adjust. Grow.

Action

It is true that words speak differently to people. We each prefer to be inspired in our own way. But words and inspiration are nothing without action. So here is my process for leveling goals, expectations, needs and perception to develop a clear mindset, drive discipline and achieve.

Write your primary goal down.

What you may find is that this needs more definition to generate buy-in. For example, “I want to get fit” doesn’t really create a bond between the heart and mind. However, “I want to get fit so that I can role model good habits for my kids” or “I want to get fit so that I can feel strong and self-sufficient on my own” give you a connection to what you really want. Being fit is just the avenue you are taking to get there.

Determine what you need to achieve that goal.

Oftentimes we need additional support or resources to ultimately achieve our goals. For example, if your goal is to run a marathon, finding a running coach once you have built up a base of miles might be an additional resource. In this case, it comes at a cost. Understanding the implications of a resource (cost, time availability) at the beginning will prevent that resource from becoming an obstacle down the road and building stronger buy-in from day one.

Re-evaluate the goal based on what you found in step 2. 

Personally, I think this is a missed step. Take a literal 5 second pause and make sure you still truly, in your heart, want to achieve this goal. If yes, proceed to step 4 🙂 If not, determine what truly is your primary goal and get your personal buy-in.

Fitness Digital Wall AtSet milestones (mini-goals) for your primary goal. 

Milestones are IMPORTANT. They are the progress markers than both encourage forward progress and provide valuable feedback. For example, if your goal is to lose 50 pounds and get off of diabetes medication then the timeline to accomplish that is likely 6 months or more. Setting milestones along the way will help you stay disciplined and focused on the primary goal. Remember, even in the milestones you want to be clear and detailed. Make them S.M.A.R.T. (Set Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound goals.) For example, instead of saying, “I will be active everyday,” set a goal like, “I will walk for 30 minutes every day for the next month.” Clear goals give you something actionable and traceable to work towards. 

Execute and adjust as you progress. 

Every few weeks, pause and reflect. What is working, what needs more attention. Your body is changing in this process. Adjusting your plan with it is important. For example, if your goal is to do a triathlon, but you can’t seem to make progress in your swimming performance it might be time to get a coach or change your training program. Instead of putting your head down and doing the work everyday, make sure you are actually moving the needle and see yourself achieving your goal sooner.

Repeat 

Approach every goal you set with honesty. Work through your action plan with honesty. Experience the emotional high that achieving a goal brings. Repeat the process and see where YOU can take YOUR life. 

Motivation is what the world sees when they watch you work towards your goal. Discipline is what you actually use to achieve your goal. Discipline in the form of persistence. Keep moving forward, stay focused, and watch as you lead yourself to incredible results.

3 Reasons a Personal Trainer Thrives as Fitness Entrepreneur

3 Reasons a Personal Trainer Thrives as Fitness Entrepreneur

As the heartbeat of the fitness world, personal trainers hold a unique power – the power to transform lives, ignite passion, and inspire lasting change. Now, imagine channeling that incredible force into something even more extraordinary – your own fitness business.

Entrepreneurship is an empowering mission, full of challenges and celebrations, and most importantly… opportunity. The opportunity to unlock your potential, control your career path and, in our experience as personal trainers, make more money. Let’s explore the compelling reasons why owning your own fitness business might be the next exhilarating step in your journey.

3 REASONS WHY A PERSONAL TRAINER THRIVES AS A FITNESS ENTREPRENEUR

“Be your own boss” is perhaps the the most common answer I hear when I ask someone what it means to be an entrepreneur. The idea of taking control of your destiny, being the captain of your ship, and savoring the sweet taste of entrepreneurial success. It is a wonderful vision, but incomplete.

Just because you want to be your own boss, doesn’t mean you should or that you will succeed. Now, hopefully, you are reading this because you are a personal trainer and maybe, just maybe, you are considering staring your own business. I say that because I believe the personal trainers have three qualities that are indicators for why a person trainer thrives as an entrepreneur.

  1. Passion
  2. Growth Focused
  3. Discipline and Control

PASSION-DRIVEN PROFESSION

A good personal trainer is passionate about fitness, about the science, about helping solve people’s problems. As a fitness entrepreneur you get to take that passion and live it everyday AND implement it the way you know it should be done. No more dreading the workday, living for the weekend or dreaming of the career you could have had.

As personal trainers we have an ability to positively impact lives by helping clients achieve their health and fitness goals. Running your own training business allows you to use your training philosophies and methods to make a lasting impact on individuals seeking your expertise. As you refine your methods and build your brand your business and reputation grows and attracts more clients and supports. Creating stability for your business and your future.  

The satisfaction of seeing your clients transform both physically and mentally, knowing you played a pivotal role in their journey to a healthier lifestyle, is very fulfilling. Entrepreneurship is using that passion to help and transform your clients on yourself. Allowing you to earn more money as we discuss next!

FINANCIAL GROWTH AND POTENTIAL

We have seen it first hand, running your own personal training business will make you more money. You can break free from income constraints and unlock your financial future with a business model that cuts out the middleman, leaving more cash in your pocket and control in your hands.

With you as the ship captain you can pivot your business to meed the market demand and your personal interests and passions. Increase yours sales by offering various services like one-on-one training, small group sessions, and specialized programs that speak to your ideal client. Quickly adapt your services to align with the ever-evolving needs of your clientele and your business. Giving yourself stability and control over your success.

A business is a lot like a career, you may start in one place and end in another. Most people start their careers at the bottom and grow upwards in a company or in several companies. A business grows and changes in time in tune with its goals and resources. As an entrepreneur you get to control your business (or career) making the only limit, yourself.

CAREER CONTROL AND DISCIPLINE

There are the small things that make being an entrepreneur fun – the freedom to set your own schedule, craft your brand identity, deciding on the customer experience, allowing your creativity space to grow by testing innovative ideas and approaches. There is also one of the most valued parts, being able to institute change that best serves you and your clients immediately… because you are the boss.That control, combined with an attitude of continues learning, and discipline, are essential for success.

The entrepreneurial mindset is so close to a personal trainer, just listen. As a personal trainer you identify goals, create a program for a client, implement said program, adjust program as needed, achieve results. As a entrepreneur you do the same thing. Identify the goals of your business, create a strategy to achieve those goals and seek necessary resources, implement said strategy, adjust strategy as needed, achieve results.

All you are doing is taking a system you already know, the discipline you clearly have and apply it in a new arena to earn more money and control the growth of your career. I don’t like to bet, but this is a bet on yourself and that is one, as an entrepreneur I am generally speaking confident in.

DOES THIS RESONATE WITH YOU?

Personal trainer entrepreneur is an exciting alternative to a traditional gym based job.  If you are looking for your next career move as a personal trainer and any of these 10 reasons resonate with you, it is time to dive deeper and decide if you are willing to bet on yourself. Because after all entrepreneurship is nothing if not a bet on your ability to see an idea through to the end. 

If you live in the Milwaukee area, we’re here to support your entrepreneurial goals.

3 Reasons to Own Your Own Training Business

3 Reasons to Own Your Own Training Business

Owning your own training business can be an exciting and yet overwhelming thought. But ask yourself…

  1. Are you committed to the long term?
  2. Does passion and knowledge fuel your desire to work with clients everyday?
  3. Are you looking for more career advancement opportunities?

If you answer yes to those three questions then owning your own personal training business could be the right fit for you and here is why.

Committed To The Long Term

I could tell you something cliché like “nothing easy is worth doing” or “Rome wasn’t built in a day”, but I quite honestly despise those sayings.  What you need to know is any career, and I mean any, where your success rides on your reputation and referrals is always going to require a long-term perspective.

As a personal trainer you need to be thinking 5, 10 and 20 year goals for yourself. No one else is going to make set goals or plan your future. Instead our industry is built on the backs of passionate people who burnout because of low pay, long hours and limited growth potential.

So if you want to make your career as a personal trainer stick you need to think long term goals. And if you think hard enough you will realize that in many cases owning your own personal training business is one of the key steps to take to secure your long-term success and future.

Fueled By Passion and Knowledge

I don’t care what industry or career you want to talk about, success is closely related passion and knowledge. And long-term success is always tied to passion and knowledge.

If you can truly say that you enjoy and WANT to get out of bed everyday to work with clients then you likely have sticking power in our industry. But to be a business owner you have to have one more thing.

You have to have want autonomy and responsibility of the good and the bad. And you have to want to learn because it might be simple to open an LLC, but managing finances and setting yourself up for financial independence requires the same focus and intention you put into your craft as a personal trainer.

Career Advancement Opportunities

Just about every career opportunity I have seen in our industry hits a plateau for one reason or another. Being a business owner gives you control of your career and the ability to break through plateaus, because they will still come.

This isn’t a Madonna moment where you can spend your entire career reinventing yourself. You can continually create the type of work-life balance you want by varying products/services you offer while still maintaining your reputation and relationships.

THE PURE FITNESS OPPORTUNITY

Pure Fitness is here to offer a new opportunity. We are encouraging personal trainers new, old and part-time to look at a cost-effective way of owning their own business. To take control of the career growth and earning potential.

We offer passionate personal trainers, focused on the long-term, the ability to rent a fully equipped space. Effectively minimize overhead expenses and build the career they want. And alleviate much of the financial risk and stressors associated to business ownership.

Tyler Reed, of Personal Trainer Pioneer, lays out some of the steps and financial implications of starting your own business. But at Pure Fitness we have done most of these steps for you.

Personal trainers renting at Pure Fitness have full control over their businesses. They set their price points, pick their schedules and more. There are no annoying responsibilities like cleaning and towel folding. Instead, personal trainers can focus on their craft, their career and their business.

Plus, we remain a resource for our renters. Sharing knowledge based on our education, time in the industry and personal success. A good example is this blog post on gauging success as a personal trainer.

MORE DETAILS

A monthly lease payment at Pure Fitness covers all overhead expenses, we guarantee there will be no surprises.
