Proper  gym equipment storage is a must have for a fully functional, motivational gym. You need to be able to move from one exercise to another easily and swiftly and save all your energy for pumping those guns. Also, if you have a home for all your pieces, the higher the chance that your gym equipment will be return to the rightful spot ready for your next session - no more trips and time wasted digging for that perfect sized weight plate!

Upright Gym Equipment Storage

The first thing to do is to get everything off the ground and to save on floor meterage, upright storage solutions are a great way to start. Storage racks such as  upright dumbbell racks, upright barbell storage allows easy access as well as reduces the amount of floor space used. 

If you own a lot of weight plates, a few of the mobile plate rack - one for each size plate - might be the solution. Not only do they have wheels for easy maneuvering from station to station, they look coordinated and easy to spot the correct plate. 

If you only have a single set with a variety of weights, try a toast rack so you have easy access to the exact bumper you need - easy to load and unload too; simply roll on and roll off. Available with or without wheels, these bumper toast racks are a great weight plate storage idea!
