Project Overview

A detached garage at the bottom of the garden was the ideal spot for a home gym: separate from the house, easy to access and big enough for a full set of weights.

We insulated and lined the building, added mirrors, a rubber gym floor and powerful electrics, so the space is warm in winter, cool in summer and ready for serious training.

The Brief

Create a safe, comfortable and durable gym with room for racks, benches and free weights, plus ventilation to keep the air fresh during workouts.

The Challenge

Detached outbuildings need their own electrical supply, insulation and moisture control. The floor also had to carry heavy equipment without cracking or damage.

How We Built It

What We Did, Step By Step

1. Assess & plan

Structure, damp-proofing and power supply checked, then layout planned around the equipment.

2. Insulation & power

New consumer unit supply, lighting, sockets and heating installed, with the walls and roof insulated.

3. Gym flooring & mirrors

Heavy-duty rubber flooring laid and wall mirrors fitted.

4. Finishing touches

Doors, windows, decoration and ventilation completed ready for training.

Project Highlights

  • Insulated walls and roof
  • Heavy-duty rubber gym flooring
  • Wall mirrors and bright LED lighting
  • Heating and extractor ventilation
  • Dedicated electrical supply
  • French doors opening onto the garden

The Result

The family now trains at home year-round, without membership fees or travel — and the garden building is far more useful than the old storage space.
