Creating your home gym can be life-changing, and that’s no understatement. You can say goodbye to the days of committing to your monthly gym membership or travelling to the other side of town in rush-hour traffic. There is now a much better alternative and thousands of people are making the most of the upcoming trend.
Berkshire Garden Buildings sell and construct well-designed garden rooms which can be fully insulated for all-year-round use and set up as home gyms. Whether you’re looking for a small, medium or large-sized gym, you can now reap the benefits of having your own private gym which enables you to achieve your fitness goals without having to wait around to get on your favourite apparatus/equipment.
Here at Berkshire Garden Buildings, we can work with you, to create the bespoke home gym of your dreams. In this latest blog post, we’ll be outlining our top SIX recommendations for home gym ideas…
Minimalist Home Gym
Looking to get your workout done without frills? If so, you may want to consider a minimalist home gym to keep costs down. For some people, the gym element is their main priority and they need a value for money building to put their equipment in. In this case, a sturdy shed or workshop may suite, giving you privacy without too many windows. If you want more light or to enjoy the view of the garden, a summerhouse is a great alternative. Instead of a high end garden room, this minimalist idea leaves more of your budget to outfit your gym. Have money left to buy your most-used equipment and a seating area that will be required for when you’re taking breaks in between sets. For example, if cardio is your thing, you’re going to want to buy equipment such as a treadmill, rowing machine and cross trainer.
Fully Insulated And Decorated Garden Room Gym
If you are wanting to invest in a fully insulated and decorated home gym that feels just like a room in your house, then a high end garden room may be what you are needing. There are so many options to choose from when it comes to home gyms, but instead of investing thousands into an extension or conversion that loses house space and may require planning permission, why not consider an outdoor garden room gym? Fully insulated garden rooms are one of many product types Berkshire Garden Buildings specialise in. We can design the perfect garden room gym, utilising buildings from many different suppliers, available in a huge range of sizes, layouts and designs, to ensure that you have the capabilities to perform all regular gym activities in luxury.
DIY Yoga Studio
Having a home gym doesn’t have to be dedicated to lifting weights, beating all-time bench press lifts or running a marathon. In fact, not at all and many people are deciding to go down the route of having a DIY Yoga Studio. This can be your go-to place to exercise and relax. If you’re looking to give it that peaceful vibe, we recommend filling the room with plants and other decorations that can help to naturally release endorphins.
Home Gyms and Storage Spaces Combined
If you’re looking to create your bespoke home gym, but still need the use of some space for storage capabilities, you can do exactly that. Your garden home gym can be specifically designed to fit in all necessary exercise equipment and apparatus whilst also ensuring that there is adequate space to store the likes of bikes, tool boxes, and other accessories. This can be achieved either by having one larger open space, or we can introduce partition walls to create two physical areas. Access to the separate storage area can be done via a door in the internal partition, extra external door(s) or both. There is also no need to insulate & decorate both sections. You can invest in making the gym area cosey and attractive, whilst keeping the shed area functional and value for money.
Home Rock-Climbing Wall
Are you the adventurous type? Then you’re going to love our home rock-climbing wall idea. If rock climbing is your thing or you fancy trying something new, why not add an exciting feature to your garden building or home gym. Covering the walls with a thick lining board such as 18mm ply enables you to create a strong fixing point for a bouldering wall and attaching climbing holds around the perimeter of the room. Available in a huge range of colours and taking up minimal space, this is a great way to add some character to the room and get active in a different way. Although Berkshire Garden Buildings can’t install this feature ourselves, it can easily be retro fitted into any garden building as a DIY project.
Boxercise And Boxing Fitness Room
How about a boxercise room where you can get fit through the sport of boxing? Whether you’re training for your next fight or just love the sport as a way of keeping fit, this is a fantastic idea. Having a separate garden building for this use means you don’t have to clutter your house with punch bags or punching balls. It also enables a space to invite your friends round to and have an enjoyable evening exercising together without disturbing the rest of the family.
