I think the idea of a home gym has been around since the gyms exist. It is because it’s comfortable to work out from your home, and it saves time and money. However, some people prefer to go to the gym since they find a home gym lazy.

Being said that, post-covid, the concept of a home gym is getting more and more popular. As people were trapped inside their houses, taking care of their physical health became more relevant. But as gyms were and are closed; what are they going to do?

And That’s how home gyms became more common. Whether it’s just one piece of equipment or a whole gym at home; individuals started to accumulate gym equipment in their interiors.

So, if you are also trying to figure out a home gym; here are some design ideas for you by interior designers.

1. Where in the House?

If you have a free room or a less occupied and accessed room in your house; it can be your future gym.

The room should have access to fresh air and proper ventilation. If you want privacy it should be separated from the rest of the house via a wall; glass, wooden, etc. Any equipment can be placed in the room for exercising. It’s a feasible and basic thing. Here, this is a multi-purpose room as it serves multiple purposes; it can be a study room, an office, and a gym. Big glass window provides fresh air and it is a fairly private gym.

2. Anywhere Works Out

By anywhere, we mean where it is accessible; like an open layout. This is an example of an open layout kitchen and dining slightly parted with a glass wall. We can see that a foldable treadmill is adequately working with an open layout concept. And, yes! More equipment will be equitable as well with this theme.

3. A Whole New Gym

Building a whole home gym is challenging. Because Incorporating the gym machines in your home’s interior is complex. It can ruin the aesthetic of your house. However, if done with the designer’s genius, creativity and perseverance it is achievable.

If you have a private room for a gym the ideas are endless. But, here we have a unique design of the open and modern layout. The gym is in the living room still it grasps the privacy and the living room embraces the gym as a part of it. It doesn’t look tacky and overwhelming, but welcoming and wholesome. Plus the space is open and airy; perfect for exercising.

4. Easy-Going

This design is very easy-going and relaxed, even so, it doesn’t ruin the appearance of the room. It is because the room is designed accordingly for a home gym with an open layout, laid-back concept. So, you can experiment with it. The wooden pedestal for the machine is designed competently with wooden flooring. The shades of grey and wood in the interiors are quintessential for minimalist vibes. And lighting is a complement for every aspect of the room.

This is called lazy but smart (affordable too).

5. In Balcony

You probably already have heard of this most common home gym idea. It’s too simple. Just lay down your equipment on the balcony and be done!  

But is it that easy?

Wouldn’t it look offbeat if not designed well?

Yes! It will. But not with a proper blueprint. This right here is a nice illustration of a balcony gym. Marble finishing and all-white view in and out are elegant and flowy. Artificial grass adds naturous edge to the space. So, you can even bring a gym machine to this area without minding the rest.

Hope you get inspiration from this and go try out the idea that FITS your home best.
