Insulation will be key in allowing for use throughout the colder months. We have covered insulating a summerhouse in detail previously and good insulation is ideal for use in the winter as well. A log cabin is constructed by placing interlocking timber logs on top of each other to build up the walls. The logs are much thicker and 44mm options mean insulation is usually not required. Cabins have a real feeling of sturdiness, making them great for garden gyms. The designs are often traditional and the thick walls keep the contents inside secure.
A gym in the garden provides the ultimate location to workout, without leaving home. Garden gyms can come in a huge variety of options and buildings from low-cost summerhouses to high-specification integrated garden rooms. Before deciding how to build a garden room gym, let’s take a look at some of the best examples on the internet. Our Buckinghamshire showroom has 17 garden room buildings on display, with each being interior designed to showcase the range of possible uses.

Installation
The mats click into place to protect the floor and create a comfortable environment for a workout. Garden rooms include a lot more as standard including full insulation and uPVC doors and windows. The result is a feeling similar to being inside a house, the environment looks great and very contemporary. A garden room is usually installed by a professional who may offer upgrades for use as a garden gym. Not all garden buildings are built equal and it can be time-consuming to find the one most suited to your needs. Everything from the size of the building to the materials needs to be considered.
Unless you plan on running in place, you’ll need the outlets to plug in your treadmill, or elliptical. Plus, it gives you the option to mount a TV, so you have something to help pass the time. We can even add a ceiling fan receptacle box to help you keep cool during those last few minutes of your routine. Both floor space AND vertical space, so you’re not banging your hands on the ceiling while attempting that new yoga pose.
Uses for your garden building could include...
Overall, using a shed or summerhouse can make the best solution for a gym at home. There is no more waiting for others on the equipment in your own private gym in the garden. Building the gym involves converting the garden building for use throughout the year. Investing in a high-quality building to begin with can create a robust and durable structure that will last for years into the future.
Deciding on your gym floor setup will also depend on the type of fitness equipment you’ll be using. If you use free weights, it’s essential to select a specific rubber matting. You can use your garden space in a variety of ways, as dictated by your needs.
Planning Your Dream Garden Gym Room

The 14mm floor is built from pressure-treated bearers to protect parts that touch the ground against rot and damp. High-quality fixtures and a key locking door provide security for storing workout equipment inside. The timber is pressure treated for longevity and protection against the elements. Instead of felt, the building features an EPDM rubber membrane roof with a life expectancy of over 50 years. A five-lever lock is also included for keeping the gym equipment inside secure. You may prefer weights over cardio, or if you like to practice aerobics or Pilates, you can have floor mats, resistance bands and gym steps inside as opposed to machinery.

The average cost of a gym membership has increased in recent years – with many failing to attend and wasting hard-earned money. What’s great about a home gym is that you can create your perfect exercise environment, without having to worry about what other people think. This is applicable to both your workout requirements and the overall aesthetic of the gym. As much as staying physically fit and active is important, there will be times where you won’t have access to a commercial gym – especially during the ongoing pandemic.

Design your way
With the structure of the building and utilities complete, it’s time to start installing the gym equipment. Rubber flooring can be used to provide resistance to the impact of weights and other equipment. Adjustable equipment, such as dumbbells can reduce the space required for storage, allowing for a wider selection. Combo machines are also a great idea to add extra resistance exercises to a workout. Log cabins make a great choice for a garden gym thanks to their durable construction.
