Many home gym experts will give you the same answer: Running out to buy everything at once. They believe it because it’s a mistake many of them have made themselves. They say “all at once” buying results in blowing your full budget over the short-term, mis-matching top-quality items with inferior items, and having to buy the same piece of equipment twice. The experts advise stocking your home gym one piece at a time. You can start with the basics – perhaps a good cage and barbell. Then you can save up to purchase more equipment you know will fit with your routine.
