If you're guilty of stuffing, stashing, or squeezing your gym equipment when guests come knocking, we have the solutions to organize your home gym — fast! Although working out from home is convenient, the gear that comes with it, not so much. Aiming to avoid the industrial feel of a public gym, here are seven unlikely ways to tidy up and seamlessly integrate fitness into your decor.
Over-the-Door Hook Rack
If you're looking for an easy way to get your yoga mats off the floor, consider an over-the-door towel rack ($34). This is similar to mat storage at yoga studios, but because it is hanging from your door, it won't take up extra space. Hanging your yoga mats is also a great way to help them dry quickly after giving them a scrub . . . you are giving them a scrub, right?
Ottoman
We all know you don't need a membership or fancy home gym to get a good workout. If you like to do workouts in your living room, store your favorite equipment in a storage ottoman ($250). Not only will this keep all your equipment hidden and out of the way, but it's also a stylish way to accent your decor.
Decor Baskets
Who said you had to use unsightly plastic bins as storage? Find a way to seamlessly incorporate your fitness equipment into your decor using a straw basket ($72, originally $129) or two!
Coat Rack
If you're constantly having to untangle your stretch cords and bands, hang them up using a coat rack ($15). This method is inexpensive and will allow you to organize them by color and resistance.
Cosmetic Case
For those who like to alternate between gym and home workouts, a hanging cosmetic case ($31, originally $45) makes small fitness gear like weight gloves or a jump rope easy to access no matter where you are.
Under-Bed Storage Box
If you like to keep fitness clothes separate from your work clothes, use an under-bed storage box ($30) to store your leggings, tees, and sports bras.
Bookcase Baskets
There's no need to go out and buy an industrial storage unit to organize your fitness equipment. Take your already-existing bookcase and add a few wire baskets ($13-$16) to keep gear off the floor and out of the way.
