Working out keeps you in shape and helps you to maintain a positive attitude, but it can be hard to fit in to a busy working week. If you’ve ever struggled to find the time to get to the gym, a garden gym that takes the hassle out of the process could be the perfect solution for you.
How a Garden Gym Can Help You Beat the Commute and Stay Fit
Working out keeps you in shape and helps you to maintain a positive attitude, but it can be hard to fit into a busy working week. If you’ve ever struggled to find the time to get to the gym, a garden gym that takes the hassle out of the process could be the perfect solution for you.
A garden gym allows you to create the ideal workout space for yourself, designed to accommodate your specific exercise plan with none of the hassle that travelling to the gym, parking and paying for a gym membership can cause. Installing a garden gym is a fantastic investment in your lifestyle and your health, and can enable you to add value to your home at the same time. Read on to find out more about the benefits of a garden gym and find out how we can help you to maximise the potential of your home and garden, as well as giving you the lifestyle upgrade you want.
Benefits of a Garden Gym
A garden gym can bring a lot of benefits into your life, giving you the opportunity to save time and money while you are working out, as well as making it possible to establish a regular workout practice that suits your lifestyle.
Installing a garden gym can help you to:
- Save Precious Time
Let’s face it, time may be the most precious thing of all in our modern society. We spend so much of it rushing around, and something as simple as getting stuck in traffic can throw off our whole routine. However, streamlining your life to cut out unnecessary journeys and make things easier can help you to claw back time to enjoy doing the things you love.
Having a gym in your garden can eliminate the drive to the gym and the often frustrating process of parking from your life completely, and you will be able to work out whenever it is convenient for you. You’ll also avoid wasting time queuing for the machines you want to use and trying to combine your gym trips with other errands or tag them on to the end of a working day. If you work from home, you can work out in your lunch break, and if you have an unusual schedule, you can fit your workout in at any time of the day or night that suits you!
- Improve Consistency
If you work out, you’ll know that it can be hard to stick to a schedule, and it’s very tempting to let your routine slide when you’re busy. If you have a gym in your own garden, however, it’s harder to make excuses stick and you’re more likely to just get on with it. This means you can stick to a workout plan more easily, and your results will be better, too. Consistency is key to workout success, and you’ll soon see the results you want when you commit to a regular exercise routine in your garden gym.
If you still need a bit of extra motivation to work out, you can invite friends or neighbours around to exercise with you, or create a family schedule that relies on your consistent effort to make it work for everyone. Ask your friends or family members to keep you accountable, and they can enjoy all the benefits of your home gym in return.
- Create a Positive Workout Environment
When you install a gym in your garden, it can be set up to suit you, and you won’t need to waste time adjusting machines or wiping down after other users. If you’ve ever felt frustrated having to wait for the machine you want, or have had to change your plans to accommodate other gym users, you’ll understand the freedom of having your own space to create the routine you want.
You can customise your garden gym to suit you, whether you want to prioritise weightlifting or strength training, cardio workouts or martial arts, and you could even incorporate a relaxation area to cool down after you have finished exercising or to practice yoga or meditate. You can set up the music and lighting to suit yourself, and you’ll always be in control of your workout schedule.
- Boost your Mental Health
Working out gives you a boost of natural mood lifters, in the form of endorphins, that make you feel better. Stress is a huge factor in the lives of most people, and taking steps to reduce your stress levels is one of the best things you can do for your overall health and wellbeing. Studies have shown that being in nature can lower your stress levels significantly and help to lower your cortisol. You can optimise this when you exercise outdoors, so a garden gym is the perfect solution.
You can design your garden so that your garden house is surrounded by greenery and plants that give you all the psychological benefits of spending time in nature, and you can make the most of the natural light with our classic Nordic designs. You could even make it part of your day to work out at sunrise or sunset – or both – to enhance your connection with the natural world and enjoy all the positives this can bring.
- Enjoy the Flexibility of a Garden Room
Our garden gyms can give you a total lifestyle upgrade, and you can make the most of your workout area by choosing a design with a covered terrace so that you can take your yoga mat outside if the climate is right. Alternatively, you might wish to incorporate your garden gym into part of your garden room and include a space for outdoor dining, relaxation or even work if you combine it with your home office.
We have a good selection of L-shaped garden rooms that can be used to design a flexible space for living and working – and working out! And our expert team will be delighted to show you the options and help you find the solution that works for your lifestyle and your budget. We even have a beautiful range of sauna cabins so you can enjoy the ultimate in luxury and optimise muscle recovery after your workout.
