Nobody wants to work out in a garage full of cobwebs and dirt. Spend an afternoon cleaning, scrubbing and hoovering your garage, until it is sparkling clean.
If you have carpeted flooring in your garage already, we would recommend removing it at this stage, as it will need to be replaced with stronger gym flooring. Ask your family or friends to help you do this, and safely dispose of it.
Paint the walls
Painting your garage walls can help to transform the space. You could paint the walls white, for a bright and airy feel, or black for a more industrial feel.
You can also buy large gym mirrors online, or perspex mirrors for a cheaper alternative. Hanging these on the garage wall will make the space look bigger, as well as allowing you to watch your form when exercising.
Lay flooring
If you are going to be weight lifting in your garage, it is important to lay down some padded flooring. You can buy interlocking rubber mats which will protect your garage floor and absorb the sound when dropping weights.
You can also lay a strip of artificial grass, which is ideal for pushing sleds or running sprints. Our Essential Artificial Grass is durable and hard-wearing, ideal for your home gym.
