In today’s fast-paced world, juggling parenting responsibilities with personal well-being can feel like a Herculean task. For many parents, finding time to hit the gym can be challenging due to busy schedules, financial constraints, or simply the demands of family life. Luckily, technology has swooped in as a game-changer, offering a plethora of fitness options that fit seamlessly into a hectic lifestyle.
Gone are the days when you needed a gym membership to stay fit. Home fitness equipment and apps have revolutionized how parents approach exercise. Whether you’re into yoga, HIIT, or strength training, there’s an innovative machine and app tailored to your needs.
One standout is Australian founded Fit-Tech company, Vitruvian. Created during the COVID era when Jon Gregory, founder of Vitruvian, couldn’t find an at-home gym solution that didn’t take up his entire garage. Fast forward to today and Vitruvian is now sold worldwide and was voted as one of Time Magazines best inventions of 2022. It also comes along with an app that is powered with AI to provide you with workouts that are available on demand, allowing you to exercise whenever you want without having to leave your home.
We all know that time is of the essence when you’re a parent, so being able to workout effectively at home can be a life-saver when you’re also trying to fit in taking the kids to soccer practice, cooking dinner and mowing the lawn. A lot of at home training apps even now offer virtual classes, so it feels like you’re a part of gym anyway.
The other key factor to consider is how much everything is costing you. With gym memberships now being anywhere from $60 – $250 a month, it’s becoming quite expensive to head to the gym. Another big benefit of working out at home is the obvious financial savings. Buying an all-in-one at home gym solution may seem expensive upfront but it will certainly save you money over the long-run, especially if you have two or more within the household that would go to the gym.
These days at home gym solutions really can provide you with everything you need. Whether it be resistance training or a solid cardio session, there’s an option for everyone. Along with the time and money you’ll save, it’s definitely something worth looking into.
