How to Customise Your Gym Storage
No two gyms are the same - and your storage shouldn’t be either. A powerlifting set-up needs space for plates and bars, while a functional training gym might prioritise kettlebells and wall balls. That’s why Basecamp Storage has been designed to adapt. By choosing your shelf types, angles, and layout, you can create a system that works for you today and expands as your training grows. Here’s how to build the perfect Basecamp set-up for your space.
Step 1: Assess Your Training Style
- Strength Training Focus? Prioritise bumper plate shelves and dumbbell storage.
-
Functional Training Mix? Include flat shelves for kettlebells, sandbags, and D-balls, plus ball shelves for wall balls.
-
General Fitness? A balanced set-up works best, with varied shelving options.
Step 2: Measure Your Space
Basecamp shelves come in 0.7m, 1.2m, 1.5m, and 1.8m options, so you can match your unit size to your gym footprint. Small home gyms often opt for shorter shelves, while larger facilities can build multi-unit systems that expand along the wall.
Step 3: Choose Your Shelf Types
-
Dumbbell Shelves - Keep weights neat, secure, and easy to access, with options tailored to both round dumbbells and hex dumbbells.
-
Bumper Plate Shelves - Flat, durable storage with movable dividers for plates of all sizes.
-
Flat Shelves - Versatile solutions for kettlebells, sandbags, and conditioning tools.
-
Ball Shelves - Dedicated storage for medicine balls and wall balls.
Step 4: Decide on Shelf Positioning
Each Basecamp shelf can be installed flat or at a 15° angle, with three fixing locations (front, middle, back). Angled shelves work best for dumbbells or kettlebells, making retrieval faster and safer.
Step 5: Plan for Growth
One of Basecamp’s biggest advantages is scalability. Start with what you need today, then expand your system as your equipment or membership grows. You’ll never outgrow your storage.
