Hey friends! Around this time last year, I shared my plans for transforming our basement into a home gym, but life got in the way, and I’m just now turning those plans into reality. My kids were really excited about having a dedicated space to work out in, so I drew up this sketch to bring our vision to life:
Here’s what the basement looked like when we bought the house:
and here is what it looks like now:
Although a few things got tweaked from my original design, like the gym’s location, and the wall color–for the most part it’s in line with what I sketched up.
We all know a gym isn’t complete without a mirror, well I picked up several small budget budget-friendly mirrors that help reflect light and give us an opportunity to check on our form.
One thing I did decide to do, and perhaps my most favorite part is where there was previously a closet in the corner, I made a small desk area to fit my walking pad.
I love how this space turned out and I’m getting such great use out of it! Check back to see my plans for the other side of this space.
