Like many other people, I had to give up the gym this past year.
The pandemic just made it impossible for me to feel comfortable about going to the gym. Not that I needed much of a push to leave the gym anyway. My gym was always so uncomfortable. The HVAC unit there was just totally overwhelmed when the place was full. And if it wasn’t the air conditioning went the other way and the cooling was just too much. So while I missed not being able to workout, I wasn’t missing those HVAC issues. During the early days of the pandemic, my wife and I were adjusting to working from home. And without our trips to the gym, we chose to get out of the air conditioning and take walks everyday. This was really nice but we both realized that we would need more than that. That’s when we came to the decision to put a home gym in the basement. There wasn’t much challenge to finding plenty of pre-owned equipment. That was the easy part. However, the basement didn’t have adequate air conditioning and we wanted quality heating and air for our home gym. This turned out to be an easy fix once I called the HVAC company. They came out to install a ductless mini split right in the home gym. Now we are working out in just the best, most comfortable temperatures. I’m so impressed with the ductless mini split. It’s not only powerful but it’s also incredibly efficient. There will never be another uncomfortable workout session due to bad HVAC for us again.
