Home Gym – Garden Pod

One of our most popular uses for a Gpod is for a home gym or yoga studio. A garden room offers the perfect solution for those requiring extra space and time for exercising; whether you are a fitness enthusiast or beginner wanting to implement a new-found healthier lifestyle you could have your very own gym or yoga studio in your garden.

The obvious perks being you can exercise in privacy with no commuting, queuing to use gym equipment, timetables to contend with and you can work out in your own time, all-year round.

Compared to building an extension it is quicker, cheaper, and less stressful to install. Most garden rooms do not require any planning permission.

Our team at Gpod can help tailor the space perfectly for exercising. We suggest considering some of the following to ensure it is fit for purpose:

1. Reinforced flooring to hold the weight of heavy gym equipment. The choice of flooring is also important to ensure it’s hard wearing and non-slip.

2. Full climate control with an installation of an AC unit and window blinds to control sunlight.

3. Installing extra plug points and sockets for added flexibility when moving equipment and also installing a TV point so you can watch while you work out.

4. You may want to install changing facilities with a shower room.

5. The placement of your garden room within your garden is important to ensure you maximise any views and natural light all year round to help ensure the space is a sanctuary and a relaxing environment.

6. We offer a range of options for window and doors for you to choose from. You might want to consider bringing the outside in for the summer months with bi-folds or install an extra full-length glass panel to help frame a garden view.
