How to Turn a Garden Shed into a Home Gym

Here are the easy steps that you can do in transforming your garden shed into a home gym:

1. Clean the Garden Shed

Decide whether you want to use the space exclusively as a home gym or if you want to keep it as storage and just add the gym to its function. If you no longer want to use it as storage, then you can remove every item and clean out the whole shed.

However, if you prefer to use it both for storage and gym, then organize the shed so that you can provide ample space both for your tools and gym equipment. Seeing your garden tools can make you lose your momentum while training.

If you want to use your shed both as a gym and storage, then consider placing your garden tools in an enclosed cabinet or place a wall that will allow you to lose sight of your rakes and other tools.

Taking away the visual interruptions is important because it is the first step in creating a relaxing gym environment.

2. Stabilize the Floor

The gym equipment that you will place in your garden shed is heavy and you need to ensure that you have stable flooring that can handle the weight. If your garden shed floor is made out of wood, then check the integrity of the material.

It has to be level and durable or otherwise, you will need to reinforce the flooring so that it can meet the standards of a home gym. If you already have a stable floor, then consider installing the low-cost rubber gym tile.

These are seamless and shock absorbent tiles that can instantly enhance the aesthetic appearance of your home gym.
