Sports activities are recommended to keep fit. However, finding time to go to the gym is not always easy. It is also necessary that the latter is located close to home. Why not create a small corner equipped for sports to train in your own backyard?
The area can greatly enrich the value of the property, even more so if combined with a dream pool inspired by the most beautiful projects in the world.
Prefabricated module or outdoor equipment
Whether it’s an entire modular room or just an open-air lawn corner, you can arrange the space as needed. The layout also depends on athletic needs, the available volume and any urban planning constraints.
In fact, a corner for practicing yoga, stretching and body balance does not need to be spacious, an area large enough to accommodate a 50 cm mat is enough. The important thing about the prefabricated room is that it has a sober design, warm materials and relaxing shades, large mirrors to correct yourself and effective thermal insulation for optimal comfort and follows a good arrangement of tools.
As with many modular garden rooms, wall space is key. Usually customers like to have a lot of glazing and it is tempting to install them wall to wall to let in as much natural light as possible, but the design and layout of the doors and windows is key to creating a functional training space and too many windows could limit the exploitation of the internal surface due to sun glare problems, excessive heat or cold transmitted by the glass. Privacy must also be considered.
The choice of equipment
The equipment will also determine the type of flooring required. To use free weights, it is important to use non-slip and sound-absorbing rubber, otherwise, sturdy wood or laminate is great as they are easy to clean – especially important after an intense and sweaty workout. In addition, the height of the ceiling must be parameterized to that of the equipment: to use an exercise bike or horse for bodyweight exercises, you need a completely different volume than a bench or the necessary for boxing.
The open-air space lends itself to the installation of voluminous training facilities such as Tibetan bridges, obstacle courses and climbing walls: complex exercises that require wide paths and need the influence of natural environmental factors for better success. The designer will have to increase attention to safety so, in addition to the equipment consisting of a climbing helmet to protect oneself in the event of falls, ropes and harnesses to avoid slipping into the void and clothing appropriate to the discipline, the design must include different levels of difficulty.
You can also indulge yourself with designs that integrate perfectly into the natural landscape using, for example, typical local rocks, recycled wood for better sustainability and integrate according to functional objectives such as using the fitness path to reach the tree house.
