Garage Upgrades for Your New Year’s Resolution

Is building healthy lifestyle habits one of your new year’s resolutions for 2022? There’s no time like now to set up your space for success. One of the first places you can start is right in your own garage!

Set Up a Garage Gym

For the ultimate fitness enthusiast, bring your workout home with a garage gym. You can order all of your favorite equipment and gear, such as treadmills, bikes, and free weights. Most companies will deliver right to your home and may even help you set things up for more complicated installs.

Consider adding specialty gym flooring, often sold in interlocking mats, to really take things to the next level. Now all you have to do is roll out of bed to start your workout. Once you get everything setup, you can also cancel your gym membership and save on fees.

Create a Soothing Space

If you are more of a yoga or pilates enthusiast, you can also take advantage of your garage space to create your own studio. Wall mirrors, a bar, and rolled yoga mats can transform this basic room into just what you need to get more zen.

Add folding screens and plug-in or battery-powered lighting to really set a tranquil mood. A portable speaker can play soothing music, while a laptop or tablet can be used to stream guided yoga sessions.

Make Everything Accessible

If you would prefer to keep your exercise away from home, there are steps you can take to make getting out the door even easier. Designate a drop off/pick up zone by your garage door. Keep your gym bag, yoga mat, or other necessities within easy reach. Now you won’t need to worry about finding what you need in order to make it to your workout or class.
