Basecamp Gym Storage Buying Guide
Choosing the right gym storage is about more than keeping things tidy. The right system protects your equipment, saves valuable floor space, and makes training smoother for you and your clients. But with so many shelf types and layouts to choose from, it can be hard to know where to start. This guide breaks down the Basecamp Storage range, helping you find the set-up that fits your space, your training style, and your long-term goals.
What to look for in a good gym storage solution
Durability and Strength: Storage must withstand the daily demands of weight training and high traffic. Basecamp is built from 80x40mm laser cut steel and finished with our BLK BOX Shield coating for longevity.
Scalability: As your equipment grows, so should your storage. Modular systems like Basecamp allow for seamless expansion, so you never outgrow your set-up.
Space Optimisation: The right storage maximises floor space, creating a clean and functional environment. Shelves and racks should adapt to a wide range of equipment, from dumbbells and kettlebells to plates and medicine balls.
Accessibility: Good storage should make training easier, not harder. Adjustable shelves and angled options improve access and keep equipment within easy reach.
Noise Reduction: Properly stored equipment reduces clatter, helping create a quieter and more professional space, whether in a garage gym or a large facility.
Style and Finish: Storage should complement your gym’s look. Basecamp’s premium finish combines functionality with a sleek, professional aesthetic.
Types of Basecamp Storage Shelving
Ball Shelves
Ideal for wall balls and medicine balls, these dedicated shelves keep equipment secure, tidy, and within reach.
Flat Shelves

How to choose the right Basecamp set-up for your gym
When selecting your Basecamp configuration, consider:
Type of Training: A strength-focused gym may require more bumper plate and dumbbell storage, while functional training spaces may need ball and flat shelves.
Available Space: Shelf lengths are available in 0.7m, 1.2m, 1.5m, or 1.8m, making it easy to tailor storage to your layout.
Expansion Needs: If you plan to grow your gym, start with a modular set-up that allows for infinite expansion.
User Convenience: Angled shelving improves access for high-use equipment like dumbbells or kettlebells.
