Garden gyms
A proper training space at the bottom of the garden — built around your equipment, with flooring that takes the weight, air conditioning that keeps it usable in August, and power where you need it.
What a gym has to get right
Solid floor. Cool air. Power where it's needed.
01
Built for load
Reinforced floor zones for racks and plates, with rubber gym flooring laid over a rigid, insulated base — not decking boards.
02
Cool when you need it
Air conditioning sized for a room that generates heat, with ventilation designed in rather than a window left open.
03
Power and sound
Dedicated circuits for treadmills and bikes, sockets at equipment height, data for screens and a wall-mounted TV point.
04
Mirrors and storage
Full-height mirrors, built-in storage for kit, and lighting that works at six in the morning.

Planning
Will I need planning permission?
It depends on the size, position, height and intended use of the building, and on your property. Many garden rooms can be built under permitted development, but not all — and we won’t tell you otherwise before we’ve looked. Where planning or Building Regulations apply, we identify it during the design stage.
