Apex Roof Garden Rooms Meet Growing Fitness Demand

With home fitness continuing to boom across the UK, Green Retreats, the UK’s leading garden room company, is helping customers transform their training routines with apex garden rooms. Around one in four customers now use their building as a gym or fitness studio, a trend that reflects the wider UK home fitness market, which is forecast to grow by 4.5% annually through to 2035.

The customer behind this latest project wanted a dedicated workout space at home without compromising on comfort or style. After exploring the options available, they chose the A-Range, a pitched-roof design that offers an internal height of up to 3.8m, creating the ideal environment for a fully equipped gym.

“Having a gym at the bottom of the garden has completely changed the way I train! It’s private, convenient, and feels like a professional space. The high ceilings in the A-Range mean I can use all my equipment comfortably, including a treadmill and I plan on adding a squat rack in the near future. When shopping around, I found that many garden rooms companies couldn’t provide the extra height needed for a gym, until I discovered Green Retreats.”

Designed to comply with Permitted Development rights, the A-Range provides generous height while still meeting planning rules when installed two metres from a boundary. Like all Green Retreats buildings, the garden gym is fully insulated, fitted with premium glazing, electrics, and durable finishes, making it a comfortable, year-round training space. With no hidden costs and professional installation included as standard, it offers homeowners a seamless turnkey solution.

Roy Wetherall, Managing Director at Green Retreats, commented: “Garden gyms are one of the most popular ways our customers use their buildings, and the A-Range is particularly suited to this purpose. Its apex roof height gives people the flexibility to install larger equipment, while the quality of the build makes it a space they genuinely want to spend time in.”

This project shows how garden rooms offer more than just extra space they enhance lifestyle, support wellbeing, and can even add value to a property. To explore added value benefits further, read more here: How Much Value Does a Garden Room Add?
