Here is our Strength Equipment Storage Options

If you use strength equipment on a regular basis, it is important to have suitable storage solutions in place to ensure maximum safety when working out.  Furthermore, you want your equipment to perform at it's best, be readily available for use and most crucially, last the test of time.

We have outlined the different types of storage options available for your strength equipment and some quick pointers on how to consider the best storage choice for your fitness space.

There are several ways of storing strength equipment, some better than others.  These include storage for Bumper Plates, Barbells, Weight Plates, Dumbbells, Kettlebells and other weight equipment.  Depending on your specific circumstances, it is necessary to consider the following factors before you decide what is the best option for you.

• Space - How much space do I have for storage in my workout area?
• Environment - Is my gym indoors or outdoors? Does my equipment need to be protected from low or high temperatures?
• Safety - Your workout space should allow adequate room to freely move around without obstacles.  Think about using storage that will allow you to perform safely.
• Protection - A workout space should have a protective surface to prevent damage to your subfloor from heavy equipment 
• Budget - How much do I want to invest in storage?
• Time - Some storage solutions require time and knowledge to assemble.  Think of how simple or complex your storage should be.
• Suitability - You need to take into account the types of weight equipment you have, the material it is constructed with for eg steel, urethane or rubber to decide on how best to store them and what conditions should be in place
