About This Space

This is the first phase of our basement remodel. This gym was designed so it could easily be converted to a bedroom if needed in the future or for resell.
Phase II - Wine cellar and tasting room will be completed in a couple of weeks.
Phase III - Bathroom, this will start in two weeks
Phase IV - pub bar and pool area
Phase V - home theater with fireplace

Yes, we actually use it. The hardest part about working out is getting started. I am not as good as she is getting into the gym. I have found if I force myself to "work out for 5 minutes" it is easy to stretch it into 30 minutes or more.

The room is 14x20, not including the bay window bump-out. It has 8' ceilings with the tray adding another foot.

Can you tell me what the dimensions are of your gym room please? I'm trying to get an idea of how large of a room I'm going to need at my next home, where my gym will be created. From what I can see, the room you have used is the perfect size to accommodate all of the gym equipment that I own. thanks

johannaone,
They are very heavy, dense rubber mats. Some of the equipment in the gym are on rollers. We have never seen an indentation. I had the three station Precor on the pads and had to remove it to reconfigure the room when it was finished. The 300+ lb system left no marks.

We have not known what to put over the concrete floors. The rubber sounds like it would be comfortable for yoga??
However, if you decide to move a heavy exercise machine
like a bowflex...then will indentions be left?

Thank you SO much...if no indentions then I will copy your flooring....love your room!

Zpak, the paint we used is a custom color by Duron, now owned by Sherwin Williams. If you post an e-mail account I can send you a picture of the can with the mix instructions.

I am also looking for the right wall color for our home gym. Something clean and crisp. Your color looks like one that would be perfect. Can you give me the color of paint on this particular project? Frustrated with paint color.

Hi,

We are redoing our basement gym now as well, and love what you did here. Could you email me the paint color that you used. Picking out paint seems to always be tough for me, and your room looks great! If possible, please email it to me at Virtuemike2@gmail.com

Thanks!!

I really like what you've done here. I have something similar (color/flooring, but the mirrors make a huge difference. Your wine room is beautiful as well.

NeilATL,
It shouldn't be much of a problem removing the mirrors. There is some glue on the back but it should be easy to repair the paper damage with drywall compound. We will keep it as a gym as long as we own the house.
I checked out your workshop. I'll leave a comment there.
