The pandemic has led to the rise of personal gyms and workout rooms being built in more homes across the country. Designing a home gym can be a lot of fun! You’ll not only select which fitness equipment will suit your daily workout needs, but also the materials, finishes and color combinations that fit your personal style.
You might be looking for some inspiration on how your gym should look. Home renovation expert DreamMaker Bath & Kitchen of St. Louis Park has some ideas you might find interesting.
Brighten Up a Windowless Workout Room
If the spare room you’ve chosen for your home gym doesn’t have any windows, you can always add some lighting fixtures to your project. We suggest using recessed LED lighting, white shiplap walls and floor-to-ceiling mirrors so the room can radiate light and positive energy. Interlocking foam mats can add a nice design element while protecting the floors.
Garage Gym Setup
If you can afford to give up your garage, having it remodeled as a personal gym can be a great choice. Your garage is big enough to house all the basic gym equipment needed for most workout routines. Just make sure to work with a trusted home remodeling contractor to make the most out of your home gym project!
Personal Yoga Studio
Your spare bedroom has the potential to become a nice yoga studio in your home. We suggest installing large mirrors that are typical of any yoga studio, as it helps yogis monitor their form. Consider adding plenty of wall storage as well as a rolling cart for yoga essentials and other gear.
Rock Climbing Wall
Rock climbing walls offer a great form of exercise and can be modified for both children and adults. A garage can easily be transformed with a set of rock-climbing holds, but any sturdy wall can be suitable. Just make sure the area underneath the wall is padded for safety in case of falls.
