Forget the monthly membership, your very own home gym in the comfort and privacy of your garden is the perfect space to work out, unwind, and reach your health and wellness goals.

Since the pandemic closed gyms across the country the UK’s leading garden room company, Green Retreats, has seen the demand in home gyms sore. They have reported that customers using their buildings as a home gym has more than doubled compared to 2019 and is now their second most popular building use after a garden office.

In fact, a well-designed home gym can motivate you to hit your fitness goals even more than working out with the masses! Not only is there no commute (only a few steps from your back door), but a private space can also take away the pressure of feeling watched that some feel when working out in a traditional gym. Plus, there are the perks of not sharing or waiting around for equipment or being tied into a lengthy contract. 

Not only will a garden gym boost your wellbeing, but your new workout haven can also add a considerable amount to the value of your home. Leading property expert Robert Ellis from Nutbrook Property estimates that garden rooms can add 1.5x their value to a home depending on the quality of the build; covering the cost of the installation.

Make it multi-functional

It really is possible to work and work out in a cleverly planned garden room! Choosing collapsible equipment is a great space saver in buildings with a small footprint that needs to be easily adaptable into other uses like this office, come guest room, come workout space (spot the folded treadmill!)

In larger spaces zoning areas with clever furniture placement will keep your garden room practical and ensure your desk isn’t littered with resistance bands. Plus, think of the hours you can save cutting out the commute to both the office and gym!
