Garden Gyms
By the time you get home from work, it can be hard to get motivated to head out to the gym. Why not bring the gym home to you? With a garden gym, you can work out, keep fit and feel good - all just beyond your back door.
Garden gyms (gym rooms or outdoor gym sheds as they are also known) enable you to work out in the privacy of your own grounds, at your own pace and in your own time. You can even hook up a TV and sound system. Then, once you're done, it's just a few steps to your own shower. No more excuses.

Your gym, your way — equipment and layout ideas
An exciting part of having your garden gym building are customisation and layout options. By optimising your garden room for your workout style, you gain additional workout space and improve workout efficiency.
Here are some layout ideas to get you started:
- Cardio gear - having a dedicated zone for cardio equipment removes the need for shifting heavy equipment around. Think treadmills and spin bikes that are difficult to move. Optimising your extra space to provide a permanent home for your bulkier gear can save you from countless headaches in the future
- Weight training – gym equipment, such as power racks and benches, is best for permanent placement. Consider your workout routine and which equipment you use regularly to determine your choice of layout
- Yoga zone - mats are lightweight and easily movable, meaning you have more freedom with placement. Permanent and temporary yoga studios are possible when buying from Buy Fencing Direct
Make your workout more tolerable with wall-mounted TVs and a persistent soundtrack kept without your walls by added soundproofing. Garden accessories and solar lighting can increase the visual appeal of your gym.
The many benefits of an outdoor garden gym
Having a garden gym building means benefits such as no gym memberships and the proximity factor, but there are overlooked benefits worth considering:
24/7 access
You decide when your gym opens and closes to fit your schedule and preferences. There is nothing like an early morning workout while having access to your home shower and luxuries.
Connectivity
Your living space means your choice of content. Configure your gym with Wi-Fi access and stream sports or podcasts to your TV. Make workouts as much about entertainment as a fitness routine.
Increased property value
Premium garden structures add to the value of your property and will be an attractive feature for potential buyers.
Low maintenance
When choosing pressure-treated timber or robust plastic, your gym is resistant to rot. These structures require very little maintenance. Always check the documentation supplied; some wood is provided untreated.
Privacy
Say goodbye to awkward encounters and inconvenient waits when your desired equipment is in use by someone else. When improving our fitness level, it is easy to become self-conscious. A home gym provides comfort and peace of mind, making a big difference in achieving your fitness goals.
Reinforced flooring
For extra strength and durability, reinforced flooring supports the weight of gym equipment and high-impact workouts without causing damage. Examples of exercise equipment could be heavy weights and rowing machines.
Workout consistency
Having a gym on your doorstep increases the chances of workouts. Increased workouts mean better results for your health. Going to the gym is a much harder sell if you need to travel long distances in bad weather.
