When you live in a single-family home that you own, you can give extra bedrooms almost any functionality. In your case, you may have created a home gym to avoid a gym membership. If you are planning to have guests who will be staying for a lengthy period, you may not want them using the living room as their personal space over the course of several weeks or months.
This is when you will want to rent a storage unit to make enough room in your bedroom. When you put time and effort into preparation, you can keep all your belongings in excellent condition.
Exercise Machines
Moving around an exercise machine is not an easy task, especially because they can be so heavy and awkward to pick up or maneuver. But this is something that you will have to do when you are determined to remove everything from a spare bedroom to let your guest use it.
An ideal storage company to rent from is one that will give you a moving truck to use to bring all your possessions to the unit. This is beneficial because you may not have a large enough vehicle to put in exercise machines even when you move one machine at a time. A sizeable moving truck will make it possible to take one trip from your house to the storage unit to store everything.
Free Weights
If you have a large collection of free weights, you should already know how heavy they are individually. Attempting to move every weight will be a workout on its own, but you can make it easier when you can get access to moving equipment from the storage company that you use.
Using a weight rack is perfect because you can put everything on the rack without exposing any weight to the floor, which is where the dirt and moisture will come from.
Flooring
When you made your home gym, you may have had a room with hard flooring. If you invested in gym flooring such as rubber tile to create an ideal gym, you can use it in your storage unit. Instead of putting everything on concrete, you can replicate the setup from your home gym. This will make it easy to keep things organized so that it is quick and easy to take items out of storage.
Renting a storage unit will help you transform your home gym into a guest room.
