A round up of smart home gym ideas for inexpensive decor, organizing solutions, and ways to repurpose rooms to the max to create an inspiring workout space. What started out as a “hey, wouldn’t it be fun if we…” kind of moment for our shed, has quickly morphed into a massive home gym renovation!
If you have a spare bedroom, garage, shed, basement, or flex space anywhere in your house, there is definite opportunity to turn it into a DIY home gym! These 12 home gyms in this post are full of great ideas, if it’s a project you’ve ever thought about doing yourself. It’s not often that Robert gets to tap into his Exercise Science degree these days, but we thought, since our situation of owning SO MUCH gym equipment is not typical, that we could share ways to create building blocks for gradually starting your own workout setup at home. These 12 exercise rooms, yoga studios, and home gym designs are full of smart storage solutions for exercise equipment and DIY decorating ideas to inspire your own home workout space.
I don’t know what it is about an exposed ceiling, but it feels industrial and rugged and perfect for picking up heavy things and putting them down. Plus, it’s great for making small spaces like a cramped shed or basement feel bigger. When painting your home gym, remember that color plays a key part in your mindset. Using pegboard hooks and pegboard baskets is a great small home gym idea for wall mounted yoga blocks, resistance bands, yoga mats, and jump ropes if you’re tight on storage space.
So that you can stream all of your workouts via an instructor… or to watch Great British Baking Show just to drool over carbs as you get in your cardio. If you don’t have a spare room or shed to turn into a home gym, make one out of your garage instead.
For a cheaper alternative to wallpaper, use any spare paint you have to make random brushstrokes on the wall. Keep a lookout on local classifieds for old lockers that you can use as workout equipment storage that doubles as cute home gym decor.
Any other home gym ideas you would add to the list that help inspire your fit goals? We have a gigantic mess on our hands at the moment now that the demo has started, but with a whole lot of hard work and patience, it’s going to be so cool when it’s finished.
