The dream of many homeowners is to include a gym in their house, wherever that might be. Buying a ton of equipment and slapping it into a room isn't hard, but after all, it is our home and you want to take some pride in the appearance, right? One of the best ways to get jump-started on designing your at home gym is to begin with your floors, which there are a few options for.
Wood Flooring.
In many traditional gyms, you'll notice an area where hardwood is apparent-- this is typically in a place where core exercises are performed, such as squats and deadlifts. Solid hardwood is great for areas like this due to the stiffness of the floor for your feet and positioning, as well as where the weight is placed. If you're the type to drop your weight from waist height after every set, hardwood everywhere else might not be the best choice.
Vinyl Flooring
Instead of risking the chance of cracking real wood, vinyl is a great “real feel” choice for those on a careful budget. This option can retain the look of real wood on top, without the properties of actual wood. This way, you won't have to worry about it cracking or splintering during your sets, and machines can easily be placed on top. This aids in the modern feel of your gym, while also reflecting well on what we assume will he a wall with mirrors. Light is able to bounce around quickly, giving you ample opportunities to check out those gains.
