Introduction
In a recent Instagram Post, we asked the community, “How do you feel about gym equipment/storage on your walls?”
In general, the consensus was pretty clear. Most are a fan.
There are numerous benefits to having storage and equipment on the wall, including:
- Gets equipment off the floor and allows more space to actually use.
- Most storage options for the wall are not priced outrageously. It’s an affordable way to do home gym storage.
- It has the ability to help make your gym look better & feel like an actual gym.
- Getting storage off of the wall is easy and functional.
The majority of those who commented expressed a similar sentiment: “the more you can add, the better.” However, a few mentioned that they would prefer not to drill into the wall and also liked the ability to move stuff around over time. Overall, the data below supports this.
