It’s an ideal way for busy people to carry out strength and fitness training in the comfort of their own home.

Garden Gym Projects
Garden Gym Can Be Turned into an Office
As part of a larger property improvement, this project included a dedicated garden gym pod. The design focused on seamless integration with the main house extension and future adaptability.
Key features & benefits:
Compliance with limits: The space was meticulously designed to fit within the maximum permitted limit, balancing desired functionality with planning regulations.
Seamless integration: The garden gym pod was designed to have the same external finish as the new extension to the house, ensuring a cohesive and integrated look across the entire property.
Future-proofing & flexibility: Our design makes it easy in future to divide the
interior space into a small office and a reception room, making it a highly adaptable
long-term investment.
Garden Gym and Entertainment Room
After careful consideration, our client chose a side location in his back garden for this versatile garden pod, offering a magnificent view of Portmarnock golf course in Co. Dublin.
Key features & benefits:
Beautiful views & natural light: Large, sunny windows were installed to capture a wonderful view over the golf course, filling the space with natural light and creating a pleasant atmosphere for exercise and relaxation.
Dual-purpose design: Functioning both as a private home gym and a delightful small oasis of recreation or entertainment room, this pod offers incredible versatility for personal wellness and social gatherings.
Space maximized without planning permission: The dimensions of this garden gym pod were pushed to the maximum limit accepted without planning permission, allowing for a comfortable seating area while adhering to regulations.
Garden Gym with Storage Room
The client, an IT professional, sought a dedicated space to maintain his physical fitness year-round. We reconfigured the back of his garden to create a modern garden gym with integrated storage space.
Key features & benefits:
Dual functionality: This clever design not only provides a private home gym but also a practical, integrated storage solution, maximizing the utility of the garden space.
Year-round comfort: Equipped with triple-glazed windows and doors, alongside excellent insulation in the walls, ceiling and floor, this garden gym ensures a comfortable environment for exercise regardless of the weather. This robust insulation is key for thermal comfort and energy efficiency.
Efficient use of space: A good design can easily convert a back garden into highly functional areas without compromising the overall garden aesthetic.
Garden Gym Pod with Storage Unit
Our clients were a young professional couple who had bought a new house with a plain garden. Before spending any money on garden design, they wisely decided to plan what they needed in terms of storage and their working-out and keeping-fit activities.
To maximize the internal space and minimize the garden area used, we decided to build the Garden Pod between the boundary lines, with a minimum gap.
We designed one quarter of the unit as a storage unit and three-quarters as the Garden Gym or Fitness Room. A solid panel door was required for the shed area to provide extra security, and a frosted glass French door was requested for the Garden Gym to ensure privacy.
After the Gym and Storage Pod had been completed, the owners laid down a grass area and paving that make it an integral part of their garden.
Garden Gym Pod
Ronan had just bought his new house and was looking into the various options for having a small garden gym. Our bespoke Garden Gym Pod – installed at one end of his T-shaped garden – turned out to be the perfect solution. We installed full walls, ceiling and floor insulation, a heat & cooling unit to ensure comfort all year round, and grey double-glazed windows and door to match the colours of the windows and doors of the house. Red cedar external cladding with wall lights give the gym pod a lovely warm look and ambiance.
We have a slightly unusual T-shaped back garden and deliberated long and hard over getting a steel shed or building a bespoke solution into one end of the T.However, once we met with Alin, it quickly became apparent that his capability and attention to detail would deliver what we wanted – and more! Pictures don’t do justice to the excellent workmanship and how he solved problems that others struggled with. We are very happy with the end result and could not recommend Alin (and team) highly enough.
