It’s easy to stick to your daily workout routine when your gym can be found right down the hall. The home gym is no longer a last thought when it comes to home design. Creating a space that is an extension of your home rather than a white box with rubber floors will make sticking to your fitness routine more enjoyable. To create that perfectly zen space that inspires you to greatness, a designer home gym needs to be a balance of style and function; the place where you commit to becoming your best self. Here are some elements to add to your home gym to transform it into an inspirational and stylish space.
A View and Plenty of Natural Light
The days of the grungy low-light traditional gyms are over. Somehow a workout seems less daunting when you have sleek decor, a beautiful view, and plenty of natural light waiting for you and encouraging you to start (or end) the day strong.
Adding the right lighting to your home gym can not only add an elegant flair to the space, but the right color of light can change your mood and energy level.
Gym Technology
There are a range of smart home gyms on the market, including smart treadmills, smart exercise bikes, smart fitness mirrors, smart rowing machines, smart ellipticals, and even smart jump ropes. Many of these smart home gyms are Bluetooth-enabled, space-saving, have adjustable weight settings, provide access to virtual personal trainers, and stream live classes and on-demand workout classes through programs like iFit. Additionally, smart home gyms usually offer real-time feedback on your health via the app and may include all of the equipment (such as dumbbells and kettlebells) that you need to get in a satisfying full-body workout.
