Bringing light into the corner

C&W Custom Woodworking

Photo by Ross van Pelt In this lower level renovation the owners wanted the exercise room to not be a dark space since it was in the corner of the basement. The owners initial direction to bring in glass was facilitated by the brother who is an architect. Keeping privacy in the room was important so we use heavily frosted glass to accommodate this but allow the light to come through. Custom barn door manufactured by Koetter Woodworking.

Gym/Yoga Studio

Anima Lunar Collective

Gym & Yoga Studio In this project we created a multi-functional space. It was important to balance the energy flow in the space as the client wanted to be able to achieve high intensity training and also to relax unwind. We introduced large windows and sliding doors to allow the energy to flow through the building. Another challenge was introducing storage while not overcrowding the space. We achieved this by building a small second level platform which is accessible via retractable steps. Our choice of palette supported the clients request for a multifunctional space, we brought in a balance of elements focusing predominately on water and wood. This also enhances and ties in the beautiful lush green landscape connecting to the Biophilic theory that we can connect to co-regulate with nature. This project included the full interior package. This is a restorative space that positively impact health and wellbeing using Holistic Interior Design.

Home Gym Design Ideas with Blue Walls and Purple Walls

A home gym can be a worthwhile investment, helping you maintain a healthy lifestyle, and saving you money in the long-run, too. All you need is a small exercise nook or a spare room that can be stocked with gym equipment. Strapped for cash? Workouts at home needn’t cost a cent; just throw down an exercise mat at the foot of your bed and voila. Home gym equipment can be large and bulky – a cross trainer, rowing machine or bench press, for example, will dominate most rooms. There are, however, alternative options for getting fit. Before you start planning the space, decide on what you actually enjoy doing, and what equipment you will get the most use out of. Depending on your budget and interests, you could have a yoga studio, meditation room, weights room, basketball court or even a dance studio. Browse the photos on Houzz for ideas and inspiration for home gyms, and save your favourites to an ideabook. Once you're ready, you can find the architect or interior designer to help bring your vision to life.

What kind of home gym should I have?

To get the most out of your home gym, plan a space that will allow you to incorporate many different fitness regimes. A spare room can be transformed into a hub for aerobics, yoga, pilates, kickboxing, dancing and cardio – just add timber floorboards or rubber flooring, a mirrored wall, an exercise machine, some dumbbells, a TV and a killer sound system. This way, there’s something for the whole family. If you have the space and enjoy doing specific workouts, consider making a specialty room like a yoga studio.

How do I create a double-duty exercise room?

Make the most of your home gym by making it a dual-purpose room. You could combine your gym with an office space, playroom, guest bedroom or garage, for example. Consider which space is most practical. A treadmill in your bedroom won’t be ideal if you workout at the crack of dawn while your partner is still sleeping; likewise, you won’t want to lift weights in a garage that turns into a sweatbox in the summer because it isn’t insulated.

What kind of home gym equipment do I need?

Again, this depends on what you enjoy doing most. Yoga mats, dumbbells and punching bags are popular purchases, or you could splurge on big-ticket items like a treadmill or multi-functional home gym system. Additional extras to help get you in the zone include a sound system, wall-mounted TV, as well as a mini bar to store cold drinks. Don’t forget to allow for efficient ventilation and cooling.
