What is a Garden Gym?

Garden buildings can be designed to become gym buildings and carry gym equipment for use at home when necessary. A home gym is a garden room that serves as a recreational space for exercise and can double up as a yoga studio. A garden gym room can be made out of garden shelters or log cabins or even be part of a garden office.

Garden rooms that are converted to a garden gym building must take into consideration the fact that the garden building may need to accommodate heavy equipment like spin bikes and weights and that space should be adequate for floor exercise, meaning enough floor space and also room for a water cooler and a climate control unit like air conditioning.

Garden Gym Room: Planning Permission

Garden gym rooms need no planning permission if the garden office or home gym building is 2.5m high and 2m away from your home. Planning permission is not needed when installing bi-folding doors on garden rooms. It may be required when the incidental use of the property requires the garden room to be used for sleeping or as living quarters.

What is Needed in a Garden Gym

It goes without saying that for a home gym to be fully functional, it needs the kind of heavy equipment and resources that a typical gym has. A garden gym building is a family space in a home that can be accessed by anyone wishing to work out.

Here are some of the items that are essential:

  • Shower room
  • Mat
  • Weights
  • Cross trainer

Garden Gym Models

Homeowners can choose a model for their home gym from various options. The best model would be one that incorporates a building design that can make the home gym accessible all year-round. There is no single model that is a universal one and many options can be considered.

Here are some ideas of models that can be used to design garden gyms:

  • Gazebo models
  • Gym shed
  • Contemporary designs
  • Traditional designs

Garden rooms can be fashioned in a way that reflects a person’s tastes and building preferences. Homeowners can make a wide selection from many options that are available online on different websites.

Garden Gym Space

The most desirable space for a garden gym is a 5m x 4m space. You can have sufficient storage space to store equipment and exercise at the same time. If you discover that the 5m x 4m is unusually big, they can be cut down to size and designed according to your preference.

A garden gym can be extended outdoors to incorporate activities and exercises that require an outdoor setting. This may mean procuring equipment that is not easily susceptible to damage and can be easily assembled and dismantled. These gym implements can be situated next to the garden gym.

Lighting

Bi-fold doors allow natural lighting to penetrate garden rooms and are easy to fit in any room. Natural light cuts down the use of electricity and its advantages include the replenishment of vitamin D in the body. The room and space should be made in such a way that it is flooded with natural light during the day whether the bi-fold door is open or not.

The workspace in a garden room should be near a large window that will allow light to permeate the room. Sun pipes and the inclusion of mirrors, the right colour scheme on walls, and others that can reflect light in the room can be included in the design depending on an individual’s choice.

Air Conditioning and Temperature

Some ideas are useful to ensure that our garden rooms are properly aerated and ventilated. Garden rooms and any garden building for that matter require sufficient air to cool the room when temperatures soar during the summer.

To ensure access and use of the garden room all year round, garden rooms require heat pumps to bring in warmth during winter. These can be installed very discreetly within the building. Sliding doors can do well to keep summer houses well ventilated alongside double glazed doors and windows.

Building designs like cross-ventilation that allow for free flow of air are highly recommended. Air circulation in the building is important so that a fresh supply of oxygen is available to its occupants. The circulation of air eliminates dampness in a room.

Garden Gym Maintenance

Garden rooms require regular maintenance. Home gym equipment needs maintenance and proper storage for them to be used for a long time in the future. The exterior wall cladding of garden rooms that are worn with time should be fixed. The paintwork of an exterior garden room is bound to wear with time. A new paint job can replace chipped paint and seal small cracks.

Other areas that require regular service are drainage, air vents, and wood that more often than not needs treatment to prevent rotting. Homeowners should check their electric installation from time to time to ensure that everything is in working order. The internal upkeep of a garden gym is not an expensive affair and can be done without the involvement of professionals.
