Creating the prototype was actually a challenging experience for me. I had to worry about much more than what was being used to workout with. I had to figure out what I could use to be stable benches that could hold my weight as well the weights of the free weights, which is why I used the big coffee table I had since it was sturdy. I also had to worry about where I would place the music bar to reduce the sound heard upstairs so it wouldn’t distract my parents from work. Space was a huge dilemma in where I wanted to place things as well as comfort. I wanted the ability to move around freely in the limited space I had without being cramped and being comfortable doing various lift so it didn’t detract from my performance and overall workout. I feel as though my concept will impact my experience in quarantine in a very positive way. The ability to have a space where I can efficiently workout and actually make gains toward the upcoming season is crucial as I feel this will give me an advantage over most who don’t the tools of a quality at home gym. This will also give me something to do during this time of isolation. I am a person who loves to be outside playing games with my friends or just being around people a lot, so it’s hard for me to be stuck inside a house. being able to workout at anytime I want will be a great way to take my mind off the current situation, pass time on in the day, and help develop a new love for routine and work ethic. This might be what I needed to hopefully take the next step in how to work hard to achieve what I want. I feel as though this in home gym will also help me feel like I had a productive day and as if I did something, which will be good for my mental health and overall happiness.
