Driving to and from the facility for a gym workouts at least three times a week the athlete would need to add an average of 2.6 hours over a home fitness workouts vs the gym workouts. This also translates to added cost savings when taking into account fuel cost, daycare etc.
PowerBlock products have proven an integral part of allowing people to take advantage of home fitness like never before. Taking into account the amount of space that was need to allow a full range of free weights in a home setting was another contributing factor. Keeping in mind you would need at least three dumbbells racks to accommodate this range (pairs) of dumbbells or 18 to 20 square feet of floor space. The PowerBlock requires just 2 square feet of floor space, This includes the rack. All this, and no waiting in line for the “right” pair of dumbbells during gym workouts. Gym workouts expose athletes to a messy or dirty environment. In many cases germs are spread from station to station during the course of the day, there is little or no cleaning or disinfecting by staff members, most is done at the end of the day. This is not a factor when exercising at home and another reason home fitness is increasing while gym workouts have been steadily decreasing.
Gym workouts will continue as an option whenever time or cost is not a factor, however the trend is growing towards and in favor of home fitness. PowerBlocks will be the choice of quick change free weights for the foreseeable future due to the space saving and innovative design. PowerBlocks are available in most specialty fitness retail stores. Many of the stores are centered in and around many of the clubs that compete and offer gym workouts.
