Common Home Gym Buying Mistakes People Make in January
Avoid the impulse buys that end up on eBay in March.

January fever is real. We buy too much, too big, too soon. Here is how to keep a cool head and buy for the long term.
Buying for the 'Fantasy You'
Don't buy a complex Multi-Gym if you've never lifted weights. Buy for the habit you have, or the step right above it, not the Olympic athlete you hope to become.
Who This Is For
Impulse buyers and New Year resolution setters.
Who This Is Not For
Seasoned pros restocking their Home setup.
