Gym on the balcony: 7 ideas for organizing a space for training

No one knows exactly when the regime of self-isolation in our country will officially end. But for the short time that people have spent at home, they have already managed to adapt to the new pace of life. And even sports fans have found a way out of the situation and replaced the usual classes in fitness centers with home workouts.

Surely some people are so inspired by the idea of training in their own apartment that they have started to think about creating a small fitness space in their neighborhood more and more often. We suggest you get even more inspired and see how you can set up a gym right on your balcony.

Ideas for minimalist and practical interiors

You were wrong if you thought that a sports area necessarily requires a lot of space. This interior in salad colors clearly proves that the cardio area and shelves for storing dumbbells can be placed on a very modest balcony. By the way, cardio training is not only running, but also ellipticals and exercise bikes. They occupy a smaller area and are sold for a more budget-friendly price than a track.

Here, for example, in this photo, the ellipsoid fits on a rather narrow city loggia. And it helps to burn calories no worse than street jogging. Another interesting solution in this photo is the installation of a TV in the fitness area. Perhaps someone likes to work out to music, and someone with the load will help to cope with a good old comedy.

A very successful idea for a balcony of small size – the creation of a zone for vorkout. After all, to pump the body with the help of calisthenics, it is enough only a tourniquet and bars.

In the same interior fit into the ellipse – it is located on the other side of the loggia. Of course, you will have to spend a lot of money to buy a good tourniquet and exercise equipment, but this way you can expand your potential training program.

Here is a more spacious balcony, where the exercise bike and a separate cabinet for music, equipment, towels and sports nutrition are located. However, dry and dark places are preferable for storing the latter. But on the loggia just can penetrate and moisture from the rain, and active in the summer sunlight.

The design of this space is clearly worked out for those who have a chance to go wild. The small rectangular area accommodates a buffet wall with bars, a bench for strength exercises, dumbbells, kettlebells and a punching bag. And to make the desire to hang your gloves on the hook less frequent, there is a motivational installation on the wall.

Being able to buy a treadmill at home and place it so that it doesn’t get in the way of the household is a great luxury. In this photo, the machine looks noticeably more modest and even more elegant than those we are used to seeing in fitness centers. It seems that it can hardly withstand a marathon distance at an intensive pace, but it will allow you to take long walks with a view of the greenery outside the window.

In this photo we see the invincible classic of sports paths. The loggia is decorated in pleasant red colors, and its floor imitates the greenery of a soccer field. The TV during jogging or walking will distract attention from fatigue, and panoramic windows in the whole wall will simply please the soul of the aesthete. And who says fitness can’t be beautiful?
