Sporting as a hobby and extra-curricular activity is such a great way to improve both your mental and physical health. Don’t let a potential lack of space hold you back.

In this article, we’ll discuss the benefits of sporting activities, how self storage is a great way to explore your hobby to its fullest potential and why Apex Self Storage solutions are the best option for your needs.

The benefits of sport

According to Sport England, the UK sporting industry is worth £99.6 billion. It’s not hard to understand why sports and physical activity are so popular when they can prevent ill health, improve strength, balance, movement, and motor skills, and even enhance your quality of sleep, energy levels, and quality of life as we age.

It also sparks great enjoyment, and happiness and contributes to an individual’s sense of purpose and well-being.

We’re not at all surprised to witness the great lengths people go to to discover the sport they love and how much they fall in love with it. They truly commit themselves regardless of their talent or proficiency—just doing it is more than enough.

The limitations of sport

There are only a couple of downfalls to sporting activities.

First of all, many sports are very weather-dependent. You can’t go skiing or snowboarding without the snow! And cricket is exceedingly difficult to play without the summer sun.
Second of all, sporting supplies can be incredibly expensive, especially when you consider more niche sports that require specialised equipment.

Self storage for sports equipment

It sounds like you need extra space for your sporting needs! Sporting items can often be bulky and take up a lot of room in your home. Your garage or shed simply won’t do either, especially if the equipment is high value and you want to avoid any dampness or damage.

Keep everything safe, secure and accessible all year round with Apex Self Storage.

Range of sporting needs

There are so many sports that people of all ages and abilities can participate in. Some sports require more equipment than others, for example, you might need skis, surfboards, golf clubs, tennis rackets and bicycles, to name just a few, to engage in these types of activities.

Even for more accessible sports, like running, you will still need protective gear, like head torches, running packs, tents, etc. to keep yourself safe while you take part in them.
Articles of protective clothing are required in almost all sports, including hockey, rugby, cricket, fencing, skating, skateboarding, and gymnastics, to highlight some examples.

All of the above must be protected from damage to avoid having to regularly replace expensive equipment. Everything must be kept clean, dry and damp-free.

Sports fans

Part and parcel of loving and engaging with sports is purchasing memorabilia and keeping collectable items, such as signed cards, t-shirts and hats.

It can be difficult to store everything in your own home, especially if you regularly attend matches/games or collect merchandise. The nature of being a sports fanatic is that there’s never enough space to showcase and store all of your sporting memories. That’s where self storage comes in.

With Apex Self Storage, you can dedicate space in your home to displaying your passion by moving some of your belongings into self storage. Or, you can devote your secure self storage unit to your love for the sport. Don’t worry, everything will be safe with us.
