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.

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.
