If you’ve ever dreamed of ditching crowded gyms, long commutes, and endless waiting for equipment, a garden gym might just be the solution. A garden gym offers the convenience of a home workout space with the privacy and personalisation you can’t get at the gym. Building and installing your own garden room gym has many benefits and here we’ll look at the most popular five:
1. Always Open, Never Crowded
Imagine having a gym that’s always open, just steps from your back door. No more checking gym opening hours or waiting for peak times to pass. With your own garden gym you have:
- Total flexibility: You can work out whenever it suits your schedule, whether it’s early morning, late at night, or during a lunch break.
- No waiting: Say goodbye to queues for treadmills, squat racks, or other equipment.
- Zero travelling time: Spend less time travelling to and from the gym and more time focused on your workout.
A garden gym means you’re in charge of your time, and every moment can be spent moving closer to your fitness goals.
2. Personalised Equipment to Hit Your Goals
One of the biggest frustrations with commercial gyms is navigating equipment you’ll never use or not being able to use the one piece you really need. With a garden room gym, you get to decide:
- What goes in: Choose the gym equipment that suits your fitness routine, whether it’s weights, cardio machines, yoga mats, or resistance bands.
- What stays out: Avoid the clutter of unnecessary machines or gear you don’t like using.
- Upgrades over time: Add new equipment as your fitness goals evolve and choose when to replace tired and work out gym equipment.
Hand selecting every square inch of your gym and tailoring it perfectly to your needs helps keep you motivated and on track.
3. Create Your Perfect Gym Space
Let’s face it: commercial gyms can be overwhelming. Bright lights, loud music, and unsolicited grunting from fellow gym-goers can not only distract you from your workout but also make it somewhat of an endurance test. With your own garden room gym, you’re in control:
- Decorate your space: Create a calming yoga sanctuary or a vibrant, high-energy gym with colours and designs that inspire you and reflect your personality.
- Set the mood: Play your favourite workout playlist without worrying about someone else’s taste in music.
- No unwanted sounds: Whether it’s the heavy breathing from someone on the treadmill next to you or the clang of weights, you can avoid it all.
In your garden room gym, you set the tone. Want peaceful silence? You’ve got it. Prefer to blast heavy metal while you lift? Go for it. The ambiance is entirely yours to create.
4. Privacy and Comfort
For many, the thought of exercising in a public gym can be intimidating. A garden gym eliminates that concern:
- Exercise in private: No one is watching, judging your form or progress or hanging around waiting for you to finish with equipment.
- Ease and comfort: No need to pack a gym bag or worry about forgetting your water bottle, everything you need is right there.
Privacy and comfort help foster consistency, as you’re more likely to stick to your workout routine in a space where you feel completely at ease. This can be particularly key for nervous gym-goers or those fairly new to exercise.
5. Add Value to Your Home
A garden room gym isn’t just a lifestyle upgrade – it’s a smart investment. Professionally built garden gyms are designed to last and can even add value to your property:
- Durable design: Built with high quality materials to withstand regular use, your garden room gym is a long-term fitness solution.
- Increases property value: A well designed, versatile space can enhance the appeal of your home if you ever decide to sell.
- Future versatility: While it may start as a gym, your garden room could evolve into a garden office, guest room, or studio space in the future.
Key Considerations for Your Garden Room Gym
Like any structure of building, the foundation your garden room gym is built on is key. Before building your dream garden gym, it’s essential to consider the right base. Generally speaking, if you’re intending to use your garden room as a gym, a concrete base is the best options, as it:
- Supports heavy equipment: Treadmills, weight racks, and other gym equipment need a solid, stable base.
- Ensures safety: Prevents the risk of structural damage or instability over time.
- Offers longevity: A concrete base extends the life of both your equipment and the garden room itself.
