Introduction

Let’s say it’s a rather cold, wet winter’s evening, it’s all too easy to drive straight home from work and start preparing the evening meal. That’s to say, most of us don’t need much persuasion not to go to the gym, a lot of us think well, I went yesterday I will skip today.

However, when you own your own garden gym, you might be inclined to go more often, because instead of having to drive to the gym, wait for equipment to become available, you could simply walk to the end of the garden, and start your exercise routine say on the exercise bike.

This blog post is therefore dedicated, to explaining the many benefits that come with owning a garden gym.

Benefits of a Home Gym

So, we would say one of the main benefits is, you never have to wait for equipment to become available.

For most gyms, they get really busy during peak times, let’s say just after 5:30 to 7 o’clock in the evening, and this is when most of the treadmills, the cycle machines, and also the rowing machines are normally being used.

And a lot of us don’t like to just stand around, so we might end up using a piece of equipment that we don’t really want to use, until the piece of the gym equipment that we want to use becomes available.

However when you own a garden gym, you never have to wait for the equipment to become available, because you own all of the equipment. So whenever you want to start a workout, you just have to walk down due garden gym, turn the music on, and if it’s hot you might want to turn the air conditioning on as well, and then you can start your workout.

Do Garden Rooms Need Planning Permission?

This does depend, on where you want the garden room built and how large the garden room is to be, yet when we come out and see you in Cardiff, our estimated can offer you a free quote, and at the same time we can offer you some free advice, such as whether you need planning permission or not.

We can also have a look at the ground, where the garden room is to be built, and we can recommend whether you should have a concrete slab as the foundation, or if we can use ground screws.

If we can use ground screws, this will save both time and also money.

Perhaps you want a shower and toilet and wash hand basin installed into your garden gym, so as soon as your finished working out, you could take a shower in your garden room.

We can then have a look how far the building is from the drains, this will help us to work out how much it will cost us to build the garden gym.

For example, if we are to build a complete bathroom, with shower, toilet and a wash hand basin, and the building is quite some distance, away from the main drains, then this is can involve a lot of digging and laying pipes, which often increases the price of us to build the building.

Small Garden Gym

When we think of a gym, we normally think of huge buildings, however when you think of the equipment that you use when you go to the gym, you might only use three pieces of equipment, let’s say you may only use let’s say the treadmill, the rowing machine and cycle bike each day.

Now you can have all of this equipment and more within a small garden gym, so what you might find it even though you are paying a gym membership now, you might find you don’t need a lot that equipment, you might just even want range of dumbbells, so often most of the gym equipment that you use, could sometimes be fitted inside a small garden gym.

Large Garden Gym

If you have a large garden, then we can build a large garden gym, we can build the garden gym as large as you like.

For example, we could build a L shape garden room, you could have a bathroom, a sauna and an area for all your gym equipment.

So if you have a large garden, in Cardiff, why not have a large garden gym built?
