Creating a Home Fitness Center
Hello 2023! Time to clean house and start fresh. And if fitness tops your list, here are 4 main categories when considering the idea of home health and fitness. They are sleep, nutrition, emotional health, and exercise.
As a designer, I see an ever-growing desire by my clients to incorporate a home fitness center into the scheme. For some, there may be an entire room available for this purpose. For others, a multipurpose room may be the solution.
Just think of it–no costly membership to join. Workouts without waiting for a machine. No more having to fit class times into your own busy schedule. And–your own private (and clean) shower whenever you’re ready!
The luxury of a home fitness center means not only more workout time but will eliminate the stress of dealing with a local gym. In addition, you’ll have extra free time to spend with friends and family.
All in all, a positive approach to improving your lifestyle.
Here are some items you’ll need to outfit your own home fitness center
Basic Equipment (low budget)
Weights
Stability BallMedicine Ball
Pull Up Bar
Resistance bands
Jump rope
Yoga mat
Foam roller
Advanced Equipment (higher budget)
Inversion Table
Mats for under larger equipment pieces to protect your floor
Spin bike
Pilates Machine
Treadmill
Accessories to Complete the Room
Mirror to check your posture and form
Potted Plants/Trees to help create a sense of calm
TV mounted on a wall or a storage cabinet
Wi-Fi connection. For streaming classes
Stereo music to motivate you 😉
***Tip - If you don’t have an entire room to dedicate to a new home fitness center, consider sharing space with your guest bedroom or home office instead. A dresser could house small equipment. Heavier equipment may roll away under a bed or into a closet. Mats easily roll up and tuck away too. There is always a way to accomplish this if you put your mind to it.
