Having a home gym makes it easier to keep up regular workout habits, as well as cut down travel time and gym fees, making it simpler than ever to stay fit. Creating a gym in the garden may also be difficult due to considerations concerning the location. Elevation, climate, and even structural stability will all need to be accounted for before any construction begins.

We had the great pleasure to visit Kingdom garden rooms to view their beautiful show buildings, Andy then took the time to visit us at home to see our garden & discuss our vision. If your looking for a garden room, be sure to include them in your search. Trading from our garden office means no separate sales site and travelling between. Our clever show model designs reduced the need for a large number of display models.

We also offer the option to work with our team to design and create a fully bespoke outdoor gym room just for you. While the concept of a gym in the garden may seem far-fetched to some, there are actually quite a few valid reasons that many grow to consider it. Foremost, the decision to make a fitness garden allows for the optimization of space. Creating an outdoor workout space will look dramatically different from one person to the next.

The cable can be placed underground at the same time as the electricity supply and connect to a wireless access point. Both are required for installing speakers to stream music for motivation during an intense workout. An armoured cable is run from the main supply in the house to a new circuit for the garden gym. The armoured cable protects against damage to the supply from animals or gardening equipment. Not all sheds are built to the same height so we need to check how tall the ceiling is inside the building.

The 14mm floor is built from pressure-treated bearers to protect parts that touch the ground against rot and damp. High-quality fixtures and a key locking door provide security for storing workout equipment inside. The timber is pressure treated for longevity and protection against the elements. Instead of felt, the building features an EPDM rubber membrane roof with a life expectancy of over 50 years. A five-lever lock is also included for keeping the gym equipment inside secure. You may prefer weights over cardio, or if you like to practice aerobics or Pilates, you can have floor mats, resistance bands and gym steps inside as opposed to machinery.

To use the garden gym throughout the year, we recommend installing insulation in the walls and ceiling. Insulation will keep the building cool during the summer and warm during the winter, allowing greater control over the temperature. Summerhouses and garden sheds feature wooden framing on the interior, which creates the perfect cavity to place insulation in between. The concrete is poured and left to set several weeks in advance to ensure it’s completely dry. A damp proof membrane can also be installed to prevent moisture from rising from the ground below and into the timber flooring. If using an existing patio, be sure to check its completely level before placing the building is assembled.

For smaller equipment you should also think about adding shelves to your new home gym. When choosing the perfect shed style for your home gym, make sure you have plenty of windows to crack for when you start to warm up. Here at Lapp Structures, we just may have the perfect solution to keep your health goals on track. A space where you can easily escape to to focus on yourself and attaining those goals.

Whether your garden room gym is for personal use or as a business, we understand that a workout needs to be a comfortable experience. Keen cyclists or attendees of spin classes will already be familiar with the full body benefits of getting on top of an exercise bike. It's brilliant for building up cardiovascular fitness but it's also excellent for muscle gain.

A garden gym can save you money – and make you money

A solid base is essential to act as the foundation supporting all of the weight above for years into the future. A summerhouse can weigh hundreds of kilograms, even before it’s been furnished with equipment. Overlooking a level base could result in the garden gym not fitting together correctly. Garden buildings are manufactured to tight tolerances in the factory, and an uneven base could mean the panels or logs not fitting together correctly when assembled.

We see many garden gyms which feature TVs on the wall and they look great. The supply is often taken from the main fuse board in the house and set up as a separate circuit. A trench will be dug running from the house to the garden room gym to ensure the wires are safely buried underground.

Can I create my own bespoke garden gym room?

Sheds are great for building a budget garden room but often feature small windows and size options. From a compact garden gym to keep your weights or a large garden workout space for circuits, cycling, running, and rowing, you’re covered in all weathers. You can even install a sauna or steam room in one of our garden log cabins; authentic Scandinavian surroundings that you can relax and recuperate in. Many options are available for garden room bases including ground screws and timber framing.

You’ll have your own space and equipment set up how you like it, without the distractions of a normal gym. Garden Gyms offer you the comfort of working out in your own home, and most importantly, provides a safe and secure space for the whole family to partake in home workouts. Home fitness shouldn't be exclusively focussed on the work, but on the recovery too. If you do a lot of strength or weight training, investing in a Theragun will be well worth it.

We provide a seamless build from start to finish, taking care of any home gym lighting and electrical features as part of the process. Our garden buildings are fully-wired as standard with brushed stainless steel lights, high-grade flush-mounted sockets and switches. Our team can also provide a quote for any bespoke lighting installations, such as studio lighting for dance practice or suspended LED rings to create an authentic gym feel at home. Installing similar flooring inside your garden building is easy and can be completed by yourself. A huge choice is available online of rubber mats designed for home gyms.

On a visit to our garden, Andy mocked up plans and visuals that were very helpful. We found Andy to be polite and professional at all times, and very responsive to messages. While shopping around, we have come across some companies that you wouldn't trust to water your plants, let alone manage a building project at your home. We felt quite at ease with Andy, no 'rogue trader' vibes from him at all, and we recommend talking to him/Kingdom Rooms about your project.

Everybody wants to use the same equipment at the same time meaning there is usually a queue for your favourite machine. In a home gym, there is no overcrowding, meaning you can enjoy your workout in the peace and quiet. You can also spend as much time as you like on the equipment as there’s no one there to make you feel pressured into giving it up. A lot of people’s anxiety about getting fit is having to work out in front of strangers. If you are someone that feels self-conscious when working out, having a home gym may be the solution.

Travelling to the gym can also be time-consuming, especially during rush hour.

We offer a heavy-duty flooring option on these buildings too, made using ex 38mm thick robust floorboards, which are particularly useful for storing weighty gym equipment on. With the building chosen for a new garden gym, it’s time to plan the installation. Many garden buildings can be installed between two people following instructions provided by the manufacturer.

We'll listen to your requirements and work with you to design and deliver a contemporary space you can use all year round. New year new me, and for a lot of people out there, that means focusing on improving their health. Unfortunately, that also means gyms can be absolutely packed during the first few weeks of the year.

However, if you want to use a local contractor, we will provide the working drawings. Many of us enjoy the benefits of exercising, working out, and getting into shape. However, finding the motivation to head to the gym is often a key factor in why many of us decide to abandon the idea of getting fit before beginning.

You can get a great idea of how your new garden office will look by using the 360 degree rotating viewer. Specialists in the design, manufacture and installation of superior quality garden rooms, complete with great service, at the best possible price.

Gyms have rubber flooring which is designed to absorb the knocks from weights & physical exercise. Creating your own garden gym allows you to choose a colour scheme that fits your taste. This stunning example features a combination of white and cream to create a modern and contemporary building. The interior features a light wooden floor, ideal for yoga and similar exercises.

A gym needs plenty of space to be able to workout without banging into equipment and walls. Accidentally knocking a dumbbell into the structure of the shed could cause permanent damage. Cardio equipment can take up several metres of space on its own with room for access, and a bench also needs space around it. This summerhouse features a 10-year anti-rot guarantee when maintained in line with the manufactures recommendations. A locking door is included as standard to keep the contents inside secure. The timber is deep treated and an optional topcoat upgrade is also available for water repellency.
