Industrial Gym in a Barcelona Basement

The Old Green Corner

Conversión de un sótano dedicado a almacén a gimnasio professional de estilo industrial, mucho más agradable y chic. Trabajamos con un presupuesto reducido para intentar con lo mínimo hacer el máximo impacto y para eso pusimos: un falso lucernario con paneles LED que encajaban en los paneles reticulares del techo existente, aplicándole un vinilo de ramas para añadir interés y que la vista de los visitantes se vaya hacia arriba y así les de más sensación de amplitud y altura y que ni se den cuenta que el espacio no tiene ventanas.

Conversión de un sótano dedicado a almacén a gimnasio professional de estilo industrial, mucho más agradable y chic. Trabajamos con un presupuesto reducido para intentar con lo mínimo hacer el máximo impacto. Para aumentar el nivel de luminosidad, necesario al pintar las paredes tan oscuras, optamos por colocar justo debajo del falso lucernario un gran tramo de espejos para reflejar al máximo la luz.

Conversión de un sótano dedicado a almacén a gimnasio professional de estilo industrial, mucho más agradable y chic. Trabajamos con un presupuesto reducido para intentar con lo mínimo hacer el máximo impacto y para eso optamos trabajar mucho el ambiente con la pintura, el espacio se transformó al completo al pintarlo de gris antracita, y el decorarlo con artículos hogareños y cálidos, le acabó de dar el toque para crear un espacio totalmente acogedor. Tuvimos la ventaja que el espacio, aún estando en un sótano contaba con una altura medianamente alta, lo que nos permitió colocar lámparas colgantes y poder colocar grandes decoraciones murales como este reloj que le añade muchísima personalidad y además añade calidez al espacio al ser de madera.

Industrial Home Gym Design Ideas

A industrial 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 industrial 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 an industrial yoga studio.

How do I create a double-duty exercise room?

Make the most of your industrial 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.
