Most small-space home gym guides fail because they organize by product category instead of by the constraints that actually determine what will work in your space. This guide walks apartment dwellers, renters, and anyone with under 150 sq ft of training space through a structured decision framework — mapping space tier, noise tolerance, renter rules, floor protection, and budget to a prioritized equipment sequence before any product is named.
