At Connect the Watts, we love getting an inside look at how people set up their home gyms – with so many pieces of equipment to choose from and a range of spaces, the options for creating an effective at-home gym are limitless. Today’s home gym is a converted garage, complete with some essential pieces of (small) equipment and personalized touches throughout. Head below to learn more.
Check out today’s home gym brought to us by Holly Castle, a UK-based digital creator:
Favorite features
Equipment-wise, the Noble Pro treadmill and weight bench are standout items, instantly hitting two of the three core fitness areas: cardio and strength. I also (of course!) appreciate the mirror so that the person exercising lessens the risk of injury when working out because they have the ability to check their form in the mirror. This space is really well put together, noting the black organizational piece that is holding TRX bands, resistance bands, possibly jump ropes, and what looks to be Elastyx (rubber resistance bands used for building and maintaining upper body strength).
As for the design – FUHGEDDABOUDIT. I love the personalized touches such as the neon “Castle Gym” and the onyx-black “Castle Fitness Club” and the tray of goodies, including a succulent, a candle, and a reed diffuser.
Suggestions for improvement
This is a really solid at-home gym from top to bottom – there is equipment available that will give you an effective 30-minute full-body workout and a color palette and design scheme that was clearly very well thought out. The only thing I can think of including here that isn’t already pictured would be a whiteboard of some sort to track personal statistics and achievements.
