Which room is suitable for a home gym?
A home gym can be set up in many rooms, provided there is sufficient space, ceiling height, air exchange and load-bearing capacity. For overhead exercises and jumping movements, a ceiling height of at least 250 cm is generally required. In basements, lofts and upper storeys, the load-bearing capacity should be checked in advance, particularly where benches, racks and free weights are planned.
Regular airing or suitable ventilation reduces moisture and odours. Slip-resistant fitness surfacing made from PU-bound rubber granules reduces vibration and noise while protecting the underlying surface.
For cardio equipment, fitness tiles from around 1 cm thick are often sufficient. Thicker tiles are used for heavy weights, dropping weights and HIIT training.
