Efficient Home Gym Setups
Let’s be real—just because you don’t have a massive spare room or a dedicated basement gym doesn’t mean you can’t build something amazing right at home.
Whether you’re living in an apartment, a condo, or just trying to make the most of a compact space, a small-space home gym is possible.
Even better? You can do it on a budget and still get top-tier cardio machines. Let’s talk about how.
The Secret Weapon: Refurbished Fitness Equipment
Before diving into specific machines, let’s get one thing clear—refurbished doesn’t mean second-rate.
At Ace Fitness Equipment, all our machines are commercial-grade and professionally restored to perform like new.
So, you get top-quality equipment without the top-tier price tag.
Now, let’s get to the good stuff: space-efficient machines that don’t skimp on performance.
1. Precor AMT 835 with Open Stride: The Ultimate Multi-Tasker
If you’re short on room but want maximum variety, the Precor AMT 835 with Open Stride is your new best friend.
This machine is a game-changer for small-space gyms because it gives you the functionality of a stair climber, elliptical, and treadmill—all in one sleek footprint.
-
Why it’s great for small spaces: One machine = multiple workouts. That saves you tons of floor space.
-
Open Stride Technology: Adjust your stride length and height on the fly, whether you’re doing low-impact walking or full-on running intervals.
-
Smooth & Silent: Perfect for apartments or shared spaces—you can work out early morning or late night without disturbing anyone.
2. Life Fitness Integrity Series Recumbent Bike: Compact Comfort
The Life Fitness Integrity Series Recumbent Bike is a must-have for anyone looking to stay active without taking up half the room.
-
Space-saving design: It fits comfortably against a wall or in a corner without overwhelming the room.
-
Joint-friendly: Recumbent bikes are excellent for people recovering from injury or anyone who needs a lower-impact cardio option.
-
Comfortable seat & back support: This bike keeps you comfortable during longer sessions—ideal for binge-watching your favorite show while you pedal.
Additional Tips for a Small-Space Home Gym:

-
Foldable or multi-use accessories: Resistance bands, adjustable dumbbells, and yoga mats take up very little room.
-
Wall storage: Use vertical space! Hooks, racks, or shelves help keep gear tidy and off the floor.
-
Mirror magic: Adding a wall mirror can make a small room feel more spacious and help with form during workouts.
-
Lighting matters: Brighten up your space with natural light or LED panels—it’ll feel more energizing and motivating.
