More and more people exercise at home or outdoors when the weather allows it. That’s why having reliable, custom fitness equipment at home is ideal. Key clamps are very well-suited for fitness equipment that needs to be sturdy and weather-resistant.
The fitness equipment must be as multifunctional as possible and consists of various components, such as a monkey bar and a dip station. A setup should include multiple elements such as pull-up bars, bench press, and squat racks. Additionally, the construction includes the option to store weights and dumbbells.
3 Simple Fitness Devices Made from Tubes
Material Choice
For all constructions, it is advisable to use galvanized steel tubes. The tubes are suitable against all weather influences and maintain their quality. In most cases, a tube diameter of 33.7 mm is a suitable size.
Monkey Bar
The monkey bar is a commonly used fitness exercise to train your upper body. This construction can be freestanding or mounted to the ceiling. For the freestanding model, you can place the monkey bar on 4 legs and secure it to the ground or connect the legs at the bottom for added stability. For mounting to the ceiling, base plates are used to attach the construction to the ceiling. Allow for at least 50-55 cm between the tubes for width, but try out the distance to suit your personal preference.
Dip Station
A dip station is used to train your triceps and chest. You can make the frame at your desired height. By making the frame low, you can also use it as a push-up support or as parallettes. Use collars or fixing pads to keep the tube firmly on the ground.
Pull-Up Bar
A pull-up bar can be easily made in two different ways. You can place the bar between two walls using wall flanges. For the correct tube length, deduct 2 cm from the total total space between the walls, ensuring it fits perfectly between the walls and in the base plates.
You can also choose to make a construction against the wall, as shown in the photo here. Secure the tubes to the floor and wall using base plates. Tighten the fittings with the correct size Allen key or socket.
