The tightening of restrictions and the stormy winter are a perfect excuse to plan a gym in the private home.
Even those who live in an apartment with limited space can design a stylish gym for themselves, which will emphasize the design style in the space, or be the one who creates it.

The alternatives to a home fitness complex are many.
Almost any facility placed in the professional gym can be located in your living room, but not sure you should go crazy: there are many other options, which focus on smaller and no less significant accessories in terms of their contribution to training.
platform
The substrate is the base, and its function is to delineate the fitness complex with a clear boundary, in order to produce a visual separation between the fitness complex and the rest of the space.
The substrate can be linoleum in a different shade, or a layout of placebo mattresses so that they cover the area you have defined as the fitness complex.
Along with the narrow yoga mats, there are wider ones that will fit to cover the floor.
If you are planning a very dynamic aerobic activity, it is worth considering the possibility of fixing the substrate to the floor.
Another tip: The ultimate shade to incorporate in gyms is blue, which connects with health, freshness and dynamic activity, but keep in mind that it is a very dominant shade, and not sure to suit everyone.
The substrate can be in any color, and you should adjust it to the colors that will characterize the other accessories you choose.

Accessories that are paint stains
The portable fitness accessories, including weights, hedgehog pitas, balls, yoga mats and more, can also be the heart of the designed complex, and will help you pinpoint the chosen style.
If you are monochromatic in your soul, choose black and gray accessories, and if happy colors jump out at you, you can combine a variety of optimistic colors, which will form charming color points and decorate your gym.
If you are in the segment of one conceptual shade, you can choose all the accessories in the same shade, yellow or pink for example, and create a super-colorful look, but one that maintains boundaries and a certain degree of restraint.
Another tip: even if you chose only black items, you can combine a pair of yellow weights that will form a small but significant color stain, that will put in a colorful wink and still know how to maintain the urban and restrained look.

storage
The equipment can be stored in large plastic boxes or in a closet, but if you want your fitness area to be a designed corner in the space, all the beauty is to keep the colorful fitness accessories visible.
Another tip: you can buy a straw basket and put all the accessories in it.
In this way, the colors will stand out and bring design interest to the entire complex.
TV screen
If it's a private fitness complex, then to the end.
A TV screen is an integral part of the experience.
To the extent that you follow a particular guide or participate in zoom classes, such a screen becomes a must.
In terms of design, the TV screen upgrades the complex from a place where some accessories are thrown away to a professional and stylish place.
Another tip: if you do not feel like incurring the expense of buying an additional screen than the one you probably already have in the living room, you can improvise such a corner if you equip yourself with a stool at the appropriate height and place your laptop on it.
Mirrors
Compared to a combination of accessories that do not require installation, the mirrors are a little more complex, but are an addition that will bounce your fitness complex to the next level.
There is no professional gym that does not have mirrors.
They allow you to observe yourself during training and thereby create awareness of proper movements, or just get motivated to see yourself jumping and shedding calories.
Beyond that, in terms of design, the mirror is an element that produces the illusion of size for a feeling of a double and spacious space.
It is possible to buy mirror panels at any glazier, and fix them to the wall using a professional.
You should choose durable and safe boards, even if it costs a few more shekels.
Another option is to purchase a mirror cabinet and earn storage solutions along the way as well.
In terms of costs, the closet will be more expensive, and also not sure you need it.
You will get the "wow" effect in both cases.
Another tip: the mirrors will give the maximum effect if they are bought on one plane, and not, for example, in the shape of a R.

Wall clock
When it comes to training, there is nothing like a clock on the wall.
When you are focused, you should avoid peeking at your mobile watch as much as possible, so a large watch hanging in front of your eyes is a must-have accessory in your emerging gym.
Another tip: After making sure the clock is large and clear enough, choose a color that matches the color palette of the entire complex.
It can be a contrasting color to the other colors, or blend with them - according to your personal taste.
