HOME GYMS

Incorporating a gym in some shape or form into our interior spaces has become somewhat of a necessity . Workout spaces are becoming less of an afterthought , and more considered , inspired spaces , that in turn we actually want to spend time in . What ’ s more , the home gym isn ’ t just about lifting weights ; of course fitness is a strong contender but creating a wellness oasis should be the ultimate goal . Take a holistic approach to wellness with stress eliminating activities like yoga or pilates ; all proven to help with our overall mental wellbeing . Create a space that ’ s calming , noise free and with plenty of natural light . Connect with nature , and introduce natural materials such as wood or cork . Add plenty of foliage with indoor plants and add some personal touches like artwork or mirrors to finish the space .
Of course you can add equipment as you go , it ’ s very easy to want to spend lots on fancy equipment upfront , but will it actually get used ? Figure out a gym space that will work for you , and don ’ t over do it . One step at a time .
