Transforming a garage into a premium home gym offers the convenience of a fully functional workout space right at your doorstep. Custom Gyms recently completed an exceptional home gym fitout that combines high-quality equipment, smart design, and unique features to create a high-performance environment. Here's an in-depth look at how we turned this garage into the ultimate fitness hub.
Maximising Space for Maximum Performance
The key to this project was utilising every inch of the garage efficiently, ensuring smooth transitions between workout stations while leaving enough room for movement and versatility. We designed the space to accommodate a broad range of exercises, combining strength, cardio, and recovery elements into one cohesive layout.
Key Features of the Home Gym Fitout:
Heavy-Duty Black Power Rack with Custom DetailsThe core of this gym is a striking black power rack, complete with white J-Hooks and a sleek stainless steel nameplate. This multi-functional rack serves as the foundation for a variety of strength exercises, from squats to bench presses, and offers durability with a professional look. It's the perfect centrepiece for any home gym, blending both style and function seamlessly.
Portable Cable Unit for Versatile Strength Training
To add even more versatility, we incorporated a portable cable unit that can easily attach to the power rack. This unit allows for a wide range of exercises, such as cable rows, lat pull-downs, and tricep pushdowns. It uses bumper plates for resistance, making it a flexible and essential tool for upper and lower body workouts, all within the compact garage space.
Smart Storage Solutions
A custom-designed storage unit helps keep the gym tidy, housing everything from weights and dumbbells to medicine balls and accessories. This wall-mounted solution maximises floor space and keeps the area organised, allowing the client to focus on their workout without clutter.
A durable hanging boxing bag adds a dynamic cardio option, perfect for high-intensity boxing drills and conditioning exercises. Whether it's used for cardio or stress relief, the boxing bag brings another layer of variety to the fitness routine.
No modern home gym is complete without a tech edge. A wall-mounted TV was installed to stream workout content, music, or entertainment during training sessions. Paired with a digital timer, it allows for precision in interval training, making it easy to track HIIT or circuit workouts.
Specialty Equipment for Targeted Training
This home gym also features a single-leg squat stand, a flat bench, and an adjustable bench, giving the client the flexibility to perform a range of exercises. Whether it’s targeting unilateral strength or traditional bench presses, these tools offer support for specific training needs.
Cardio Machines: Assault Bike & Concept 2 Bike
For cardiovascular training, we installed two top-tier machines: the Assault Bike and Concept 2 Bike. Known for their ability to push endurance limits, these machines are ideal for both high-intensity interval training and steady-state cardio, providing variety in cardio workouts.
Dumbbells and Medicine Balls for Functional Training
A comprehensive range of dumbbells and medicine balls was included, offering options for everything from strength training to functional fitness exercises. These essentials allow for flexibility in workout programming, ensuring that both weightlifting and dynamic movements can be incorporated into daily routines.
Recovery Ice Bath for Post-Workout Recovery
Recovery is just as important as training, and to support that, we installed a portable recovery ice bath. Ideal for post-workout recovery, the ice bath helps reduce inflammation, muscle soreness, and speeds up the recovery process, giving the client a complete training experience from start to finish.
High-Quality Gym Flooring
The gym is fitted with durable, non-slip flooring that not only protects the equipment but also the garage floor from damage. It provides a shock-absorbent surface, making it safer for high-impact exercises and weightlifting, while also reducing noise.
Bars, Plates & Comprehensive Weight Training Setup
To support strength training, the gym includes a range of premium bars and bumper plates. With various weight options available, the client can easily switch between Olympic lifting, powerlifting, and general strength exercises, ensuring a well-rounded workout setup.
