Welcome to Couch And Gym!
Being fit does not require a gym or fancy equipment. A few well-picked exercise tools and smart installation in your home can result in the same benefits that of a commercial gym, saving time, and money!
This site has been designed with the purpose to promote home workouts and as part of that, we share our thoughts and best practices to help you create a gym in your own apartment, backyard, or garage.
Although we review and suggest many tools, we hope that by reading through the articles, you will see that it’s not the equipment that helps you achieve your best physique, but rather discipline and the understanding of the training principles and your own body.
We firmly believe that you can workout anytime, anywhere. With a tiny bit of creativity there are always options, so you can never use your environment or lack of fancy garage gym as an excuse for skipping workouts.
Having a day job, believing in continuous learning, trying out new things, having several passions as well as a social life, we fully understand that keeping a rigorous workout regime is hard. Hence the alternative to change for home workout.
Personally, I was fed up in the gym having to wait in lines for equipment that were either too fancy or cheap and falling apart. In either case failing to provide optimal training conditions. What’s more, if I did the math, this came at a very high price.
This led to me having to find alternatives, in the end, settling with the idea of training at home. By now, I know it was the best decision I could have made. It was not a compromise, but a clear progress. Now I can do more, in less time, in more comfort and for less money. We highly encourage everyone to switch to a home workout!
Our mission is to help you along this exciting journey by providing our experience and thoughts gathered through 10+ years of coaching and thousands of dollars spent throughout the most horrendous gyms to the top class ones.
We also review the best workout equipments and claim our unbiased opinion on tools from basic to advanced level that can jumpstart your fitness training.
Sharing our ideas on smart exercise selection and setup that promote a consistent and smooth home workout as opposed to a tiresome ineffective battle.
We hope you find valuable information on our site and wish you great progress with your home workout!
