Home Gym

Lockdown saw a surge in the need and demand for home gyms

When we couldn’t go to the gym and outdoor exercise became restricted, people looked at how they could bring the gym into their homes, and the solution was simple, a garden building!

It didn’t surprise us that home gyms were our second most requested building style ( home office obviously taking the number 1 spot!).What has surprised us is that the demand for home gyms has continued to grow. We have seen a change in peoples attitudes and thinking over the past 2 years and as a result of this our gardens have taken on a whole new lease of life!

Their are a variety of benefits to having a home gym in your garden, here are just a few:

Money, Money, Money!!

The obvious benefit to a home gym is saving the costly gym membership 🤑 Just think those fees can be put towards investing in your own equipment! Choose the exact equipment you want to use, whether its the latest model you’ve always wanted to try or your go to favs from the gym.

The initial outlay to build a home gym can seem a big commitment but your garden building will easily add the amount invested to the value of your property. 

Time to work out!

We all know there’s never enough hours in the day! And for some people the idea of going to the gym is unrealistic. Finding the time to travel to the gym is a luxury many can’t afford.

So if you can’t get to the gym bring the gym to you! A home gym means that you don’t have to work around gym opening hours! If you want to do a 4am session (rather you than us!!) or a midnight class then you can! Having a gym in the garden means that you work out when suits you – no need to book!

Talking about time;  if your a member of a gym we all know that frustrated feeling when theres a queue for your favourite machine!! Imagine walking into your own gym and having the pick of the machines, no queues, no waiting, no cleaning time between users! You could cut your gym session time in half and still do the same workout! Oh and best of all think of the time saved on your commute to the gym- literally step outside and your there!

Bespoke Design

At GBC all our buildings are designed around you. 

So if you need a reinforced beam to hang heavy punch bags – we can do it!

If you need to increase the load bearing capacity of the walls- we can do it!

If you need a specific size building to ensure larger equipment fits in- we can do it

The best bit about your own home gym is that you have full control over it. And we don’t just mean in the build stage!  

Whatever atmosphere or ambience you want to create in your home gym can be done. 

No longer will you have to listen to the awful music that the 16yr old kid on receptionist has chosen to put on! #ToOldForThis

You can layout your equipment in the way that best suits you and makes your workout more productive. 

Im sure you’ve dreamt about how you would design your perfect gym well lets make that dream a reality!

Privacy

For some people the idea of joining a gym can be very daunting. A gym can be a very imitating environment if you’re anxious about being judged or self conscious. For many people the biggest obstacle to getting fit is the fear of going to the gym.

 If this sounds like you a home gym could be the answer to your worries! We all know how important being healthy is so if you feel safer working out from your home than lets get building!

Any if working out in your own private space will give you the confidence to get moving than do it! Covid has taught us all how important keeping our bodies active is so stop making excuses!

Little people = Big Problem

If you have young children then you know free time is a thing of the past! For many new parent’s having the time to go to the gym is a pipe dream! Small children demand a lot of attention and it can be emotionally and physically draining which is why making specific time for your mind and body is so important. Even just a 30 minute walk on the treadmill listening to your favourite chill out tunes will make a huge difference.  

With a home gym you can make this possible: 

• -If baby needs a nap then no problem, they can nap in the comfort of your home gym whilst you work out!
• Create a comfy zone for young children so they can play on their tablets or read a book whilst you train.
• Older children- get them involved, enjoy some fun healthy competition and spend some time together getting fit and having fun!

A home gym enables parents who have very little ‘me’ time to make the most of those little pockets of time in an otherwise busy day!
