Various
Dimensions for Home Gym Design
Designing a home gym is more than
simply trying to think of what equipment
you'll want to get. You have to consider
the size of the room, it's placement in
the house, and then work your equipment
around these parameters. Knowing the room
dimensions of your home gym gives you a
more accurate assessment of what you can
do with it. Here are a few of the common
dimensions of home gyms based on the types
of rooms people usually convert into an
exercise room, and some ideas for what you
can do with them.
Primary Considerations - most people
will at least take into account the floor
space available when determining the room
dimensions for their home gyms. However,
you also have to take into account three
other factors that help determine the
room's usability: One, consider the
ceiling clearance. If you get equipment
that's too tall for your room, you're in
trouble. Two, consider the entry way of
the room. Buying a piece of equipment that
won't even fit through the door of your
gym room is a quick way to guarantee a
headache. Three, look at the general shape
of the room. This is generally where it
gets tricky, and the entries below deal
with some of the more difficult types
encountered aside from the "average"
room.
Small Rooms - generally small,
apartment room sized places, these are
square in size and can be walked across in
a few quick paces. At best you'll be able
to fit ONE jungle gym unit here, given the
room dimensions of this type of home gym,
though for the sake of convenience it's
actually a better idea to stick to light,
hand carryable equipment like push up
bars, sit up mats, and dumbells. Avoid
barbells which might require large weight
racks, as this will take up too much space
and can cause injury if the rack spills,
as the small size of the room almost
guarantees the heavy plates will fall on
someone...
Expansive Rooms - this is not a
problem. These are large square or
rectangular rooms with lots of space.
Allocating equipment based on the room
dimensions of this type of home gym is
pretty easy. Place your equipment in areas
by segments. For example, a treadmill in
one corner, a jungle gym in another, a
punching bag in a third, etc. I'd
recommend leaving the center of the room
open with some mats for calisthenics and
other exercises, and having one wall free
of equipment and housing full length
mirrors.
Basement Gyms - these gyms are
converted from basements, and the
dimensions of this type of home gym are
usually "large" types too. However, two
considerations must be taken regarding
dimensions of basement rooms. One is that
their entry points are marked by stairs.
Avoid placing equipment near the stairs,
as gym gear is often marked by the
presence of a lot of heavy metal. People
tripping down the stairs will suffer
serious injury if they land on a barbell
weight rack, for example. The second
consideration is ventilation. Basements
are underground, so there won't be any
windows. Use artificial air cyclers like
an AC or basement dehumidifier with air
temperature settings to keep air cycling
fresh in the room.
Hallway Type Gyms - some people
use portions of their house more akin to
long, narrow hallways than actual rooms.
The dimensions of this type of gym room
are usually just wide enough for two
people to walk comfortably abreast, and
are long enough for a brief sprint. If
this is your type of room, any sort of
weights training equipment is off the
list.
Matting the room and using it for
calisthenic exercises is the best idea,
and if the length of the room is enough,
you can practise brief sprints across it.
For martial artists and fencers, this is
an ideal specialized type of sparring room
where lunging and retreating sparring can
be practised exclusively as both fighters
will be unable to use flanking and
sidestepping techniques.
With no dangerous steroids, with no expensive supplements and with no long hours at the gym . This means your body¹s getting shreddedŠ the natural way: you work out less and achieve more giving you the freedom to live your life instead of living in the gym.

Garage
Gyms - lastly, some people use their
garage as a home gym. The dimensions of
this type may seem roomy at first, but you
have to consider that the garage will have
other things occupying it, not the least
of which will be the family car and any
home improvement type work benches and
their corresponding power tool racks.
