How to create your own home gym

Why have a home gym in your garden?

A home gym in your garden has many benefits. First of all: accessibility. You can work out whenever you want, for as long or as short as you like. You also save time, as you don’t have to travel to a gym to train. Cost savings can also be a consideration. Once you’ve purchased fitness accessories for your PlayBase, you won’t have monthly gym membership fees.

In our opinion, the most appealing factor is this: staying fit and healthy with regular workouts, either by yourself or together. The choice is yours!

The foundation of your home gym: The BERG PlayBase

The BERG PlayBase forms the solid foundation for a gym in your own garden. This sturdy, modular system provides a safe and durable base on which you can attach various fitness accessories. The available accessories allow you to practice gymnastics, boxing, or exercises with resistance bands or ropes. Calisthenics is also an option, which is a form of strength training that mainly uses your own body weight.
