35 Stylish Home Gym Ideas That Will Get Your Blood Pumping

From thespruce.com by Kristin Hohenadel.

Whether by choice or necessity, having a dedicated space to exercise without leaving the house can make it easier to keep fit and to integrate workouts into your daily schedule. Depending on the size of your home, your budget, and your preferred ways to work up a sweat, having an at-home workout space can mean anything from a converted spare room to a finished basement to an auxiliary building designed to allow you to practice your favorite sports.

If you are looking for inspiration on how to equip a corner of the attic or the garage, spruce up a spare bedroom, build a home basketball court, or convert an old barn into the yoga studio of your dreams, these ideas that range from DIY achievable to wildly aspirational will help inspire you to design a home gym that is as stylish as it is functional.

Use Natural Materials

This handsome and spacious London home workout room from NW3 Interiors rivals any gym. The space has a timeless, built-to-last quality that maximizes natural light, features exposed brick and herringbone patterned wood floors, and is equipped with gear made from noble materials like leather and wood that add warmth and contrast with the black metal throughout.

Raise the Barn

This freestanding workout studio located next to the main house on a large Wyoming property from WRJ Design and CLB Architects has a wall of windows offering wide open views of the Grand Teton and surrounding landscape. The architects call the structure "a modern reimagining of a traditional hay barn" that includes the top floor workout studio as well as guest quarters and a garage.

Repurpose the Sunroom

The Novogratz turned this Berkshires sunroom into a small home exercise room with whimsical lighting and a bright, leafy view.

Create a Zen Space

This repurposed tool shed yoga studio from Leanne Ford Interiors is a whitewashed, atmospheric designer yogi's dream, equipped with neutral-toned accessories that create a cohesive aesthetic and lend the space a tranquil zen feel.

Add Wallpaper

This home office workout space from Amy Leferink of Interior Impressions has a flowery green-and-white wallpaper accent wall that makes it feel as decorated as any other room in the house, and adds a focal point that detracts from the unsightly treadmill.

Make It an En Suite

This primary bedroom en suite gym from Michelle Berwick Design is located steps from the bed and can be hidden behind a rustic barn door when not in use.

Paint the Walls in a Soothing Gray

This simple home gym set-up from Marea Clark Interiors includes soothing gray wall paint, low-slung pale wood open shelving, and a black-and-white photograph to give you something to look at while you sweat it out.

Add a Wall of Windows

This spacious and airy home gym from Crisp Architects has a pale neutral palette, well defined zones, and a wall of white-paned windows that provide a feel-good view of the greenery outside.

Paint the Ceiling Dark

A dark black painted ceiling emphasizes the basement location and defines the workout area in this home gym from Jessica Lagrange Interiors.

Lighten It Up

Blinding white paint, built-in ceiling lights, plenty of glass, and an edited selection of equipment give this basement home gym from Michelle Berwick Design a bright and upbeat feel.

Follow Your Passion

San Francisco-based Geddes Ulinskas Architects created an at-home basement space tailored to a client's love of golf. "The owner wanted a very striking space that would provide a unique experience for practicing golf and gathering with friends," Ulinskas says. "The space for the installation of this golf simulator was in an enclosed basement space, but we wanted the owner to have the feeling of being outside."

Add a Striking Ceiling

To elevate the design of this home basement golf room, San Francisco-based Geddes Ulinskas Architects created a custom ceiling. "The ceiling was designed to evoke the feeling of rolling clouds overhead," Ulinskas says. "The folding, curving forms of the ceiling conceal structural beams and ductwork that hang low in the space while arching upward into the highest spaces of the structure. Although the ceiling forms have a space-age look, they were constructed with traditional plaster techniques used by generations of plaster artisans."

Use Your Words

Blogger Kelly Rinzema of The Lily Pad Cottage gave her small workout room a makeover with leftover paint, a stained wood paneled accent wall, and simple open shelving to house equipment. A framed motivational mantra on the wall keeps it light.

Squash It

This home-based squash court from Crisp Architects has an open feel thanks to glass walls that allow a view of the curving black metal staircase and gallery seating on the floor above for spectators.

Use the Space You Have

This NYC apartment home office workout space from interior designer Alvin Wayne keeps it simple with an exercise bike parked in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, conveniently located so that you can get your workout in no matter how busy your workday is.

Add Sliding Doors

This home gym from Amy Leferink of Interior Impressions is closed off by opaque glass paned and metal sliding doors that allow light to flow into the space while providing privacy, and can be slid closed to keep gym equipment out of sight.

Use Cool Blues and Greens

This home gym from Living with Lolo is decorated in soothing shades of blue and green and includes decorative accents like a midcentury modern bench and closed basket storage for small pieces of equipment.

Humor Yourself

One of the advantages of decorating your own home gym is that you can make it as personal as you want. Kelly Rinzema of The Lily Pad Cottage hung a row of black-and-white framed prints of dogs lifting weights that made her laugh and keeps her motivated during workout sessions in her home gym. If a gallery of dog-themed art makes it more fun for you and the whole family to work out, you do you.

Accent With Wood

Large swaths of warm wood on walls and flooring warms up this gray-and-white home gym from Heather Hilliard Design.

Make It Kid-Friendly

Adding an indoor basketball hoop to a playroom, finished basement, or large family room can encourage kids to get off their screens and burn off some energy on rainy days. Emily Henderson Design chose a hoop made of wood and black net mounted on a white shiplap wall and added a black wire basket to hold extra balls to keep the decor looking sharp.

Frame the View

To make her small workout room feel larger than it is, Kelly Rinzema of The Lily Pad Cottage hung two large identical framed mirrors on the wall opposite the windows that reflects the room, doubles the view, and bounces the light around, all while making it easy to check form. Instead of choosing to install a large single piece of glass, these mirrors were sourced online at half the cost and look more at home in a residential setting.

Introduce Color With Accessories

This home gym from Crisp Architects has a neutral palette that can be energized with small color accents on accessories such as exercise mats and balls.

Add Decor Details

Adding a few decor details can give your home gym design a lift, like the tiled risers on the stairs leading to this contemporary basement gym from Michelle Berwick Design.

Designate a Place for Equipment

Kelly Rinzema of The Lily Pad Cottage used simple storage solutions concentrated along one wall to keep her equipment organized, accessible, and in plain sight. She added wall hooks to hang towels, hoodies, and jump ropes; wall racks to store and display yoga mats; simple metal shelving for storing weights; and a row of storage baskets to neatly stow exercise bands.

Double Space With a Large Mirror

This home gym from Crisp Architects is packed with equipment, but a large mirror on the walls offers a place to check form while also doubling the perception of space and increasing sightlines.

Add a Sauna

If your favorite part of going to the gym is taking a sauna afterward, consider installing a home sauna to complement your home gym, like this one from Kendall Wilkinson Design.

Keep the Windows Bare

The equipment in this home gym from Crisp Architects faces the unadorned windows, kept open to bring in natural light and offer views.

Add Color

This combination basketball court and pool room from Kendall Wilkinson Design has interesting bones, eye-catching windows, industrial details, and striking primary color accents and wall art that add personality to the spacious leisure quarters.

Climb the Walls

This kid-friendly climbing wall from Emily Henderson Design gives children a fun place to get off their screens and build their skills that is part of the decor and doesn't have to be cleaned up after use.

Corner It

If you don't have a spare room, float an exercise bike in the corner of the living room and be sure to decorate around it, like this Spanish bungalow in Long Beach, CA, from Blanco Bungalow.

Use Vinyl Flooring

In this no-nonsense, fully loaded home gym from M. Lavender Interiors, a palette of grays and taupes and hard-wearing wood-effect vinyl flooring keep the focus on the equipment for a serious fitness fanatic.

Convert the Spare Room

This simple set-up from Living with Lolo turns a modest sized spare room into a home gym, with large equipment pushed up against each wall to leave plenty of floor space, and a few decorative accents like a piece of wall art and a small wooden bench with a plant to make it feel like part of the home.

Reimagine the Attic

This converted attic home gym from Brad Ramsey Interiors keeps the focus on the workout and the view with pale neutral colors on the walls, ceilings, and flooring that reflect all that natural light from the picture window.

Add Texture

Textured wallpaper adds some dimension to this bare bones, neutral-toned home gym from Amy Leferink of Interior Impressions.

Add a Sunken Putting Green

This at-home putting green from Kate Marker Interiors is sunken into the family room, allowing armchair golfers to applaud from the couch.

Outstanding service and product from Luxusfit

Amazing product! I was impressed by the product knowledge and response speed of the Luxusfit customer service. Needless to say, my order arrived quickly and I am already looking to order other products.

Cadillac Reformer

Wow! What a gorgeous piece of equipment- excellent 2 in 1! I received excellent customer service when there was a hiccup with delivery. I would definitely purchase more equipment from Luxusfit.

Excellent product, worth the money

I have had the Pilates Reformer with Tower for about a month now and I love it! It is worth the cost as most private reformer classes are at least $100-$150 an hour so I am over half paid off already as I have done about 30 sessions on the reformer/tower. The machine itself is beautiful, excellent construction, comfortable and, of course, effective. Luxusfit provided excellent customer service and communicated with me regularly regarding shipment/white glove service timing, etc. I subscribe to John Garey (he has an app so you can watch on your phone while you do your workout) and I also use the Pilates Anytime app/subscription. It does take up a lot of room so you need a large room to place it in (you need at least two feett, but preferably more, around all sides of the machine to comfortably perform the workouts). Another reviewer mentioned the reformer is a work of art, and it really is...I love it and highly recommend purchasing this reformer/tower through Luxusfit.
