You can install a complete home gym for $700. Here’s how.
Like many devoted exercisers, my daughter and her husband bought exercise equipment — in their case, a Peloton bike — during the pandemic to stay in shape while their gym closed. Once the pox passed, they came to two realizations. They liked working out at home more than going to the gym — and they didn’t like having their exercise bike in the guest room, especially now that they were having guests again.
According to a recent report by Acumen Research and Consulting, 54 percent of exercising Americans bought home exercise equipment in 2021, and the global home gym market is expected to continue growing at 5 percent a year between now and 2030. But it also means figuring out where to put your exercise equipment, so your living room doesn’t look like an auto parts store. Anyone who gives a squat about home décor can only live with a Stairmaster in the bedroom or home office for so long.
The room already had vinyl wood flooring and a little natural light from a window well going for it, but that was about it. The walls were a dreary paper-bag brown, and the single-bulb ceiling light gave the 10 by 12-foot room a prison vibe. So they painted three of the four walls a light spa blue. They painted the fourth wall dark slate gray and hung a series of mirrors on it to reflect the light and aid their workouts.
