Yo Friends, this is Samarjit! A skinny guy who is building his tiny home gym.
I have successfully gained 10 kgs in 10 months going to commercial gyms. And I have been working out on and off for about 10+ years now.
I have gone swimming, done martial arts, Olympic lifts and body-building-type workouts!
I canceled the gym subscription as I was more into making my home gym for workouts. And getting ready, then getting my cycle and ride to the commercial gym seemed a drag after 10 hours in the office.
Thus, I needed a home that I could access at any moment! And I started building my home gym!
I had to research a lot to build my home gym and decided to share effective, budget-friendly home gym machines, and nutrition to buy as per your goals here in homegymindia.in
Ps: The author is highly experienced with making small workout routines, understanding and guiding people to get gym equipment, and setting up the home gym as per their Fitness goals.
Hello Everyone! I am Samarjit. I am a fitness enthusiast who is creating his tiny home gym in West Bengal India.
Due to this journey of creating a budget home gym, I have faced some issues, and researched a lot, on various products available in the market.
Before creating the home gym, I have been going to professional or commercial gyms for practice.
And even from my teen years, I have been doing bodyweight workouts as well.
I have successfully gained 10 kgs of muscle in 10 months of time while visiting the commercial gym!
All those years of going to a commercial gym have given me enough knowledge regarding fitness gear and workout routines.
But...
when I started doing office work, I could not bring myself to get ready and go to the gym after a 10-hour workday.
Thus, I started making a home gym so that I can access it whenever I wished.
For a period of time, I was all in with various supplements and ayurvedic items for muscle mass and strength gain.
Thus, I can share my experience as well. If you want any help, just email me and I will reply.
I realized many like me are looking for the best budget option for their home gym, thus I created this website with guides, top 10 lists, and gym wear suggestions that will help you make a better choice.
Presently, I own and actively use these home gym equipment.
Resistance Bands
Free Weights
Dumbbells
Barbells
Yoga Mats
Slam Ball
Pull up Bar
My main goal is to stay active, since I sit on a chair for a long time. (Yup, you read that right, not into building muscles anymore!)
A few years ago, my goal was gaining muscle and for which I sacrificed power and flexibility completely.
And it is not a good thing to do.
My home gym equipment, you certainly do not need much.
Now I focus on compound movements, stretches, and a proper warm-up.
The older you get, your body recovers slowly, so while working out at home I prefer doing a mix of compound workouts, stretching, and some Olympic lifts.
If you are in my shoes of mine, age 30+, doing a desk job, then you can skip the Olympic lifts.
I like doing snatch, clean, and press, thus I do it.
But it is not needed for an office worker who wants to stay fit.
For you, yes you! my keyboard warrior/ desk jokey—you should train for flexibility, and mobility first then go for muscles and power development. And yeah, you will need yoga.
