Creating a Home Workout Space, Studio JAJ Style

Do you have open, unused space at home and aren’t sure how to arrange it? Studio Jasa Arsitek Jakarta’s home design service has the right tips for creating a healthy zone for those who want to work up a sweat while staying home.

The simplest way to maintain our body’s immunity is by taking care of our mental health. That can be hard to achieve under the stress of a pandemic — especially when we’re mostly confined at home and avoiding social activities outside with friends and loved ones.

Getting too caught up in stress will affect our body’s condition, making it more vulnerable to illness. Of course, we don’t want to get sick during a critical time like this. Besides the not-insignificant cost, we know there are alternative activities that not only keep our bodies healthy but also help us stay happy. Exercising from the comfort of home can feel just like a professional fitness center with a skilled home design service. Read on for Studio Jasa Arsitek Jakarta’s tips on designing a healthy space below.

ACTIVITIES AT HOME NO LONGER HAVE TO FEEL RIGID

Exercising together with family at home is a fun, positive activity. Besides that, you can now easily find various fun workout platforms and tutorials online. Before the pandemic, you and your family might have been too relaxed and unable to consistently set aside time to exercise. With circumstances now requiring you and your family to stay home, you can start finding the opportunity to begin a healthier lifestyle. Even when things feel monotonous or your mood isn’t at its best, exercising can help you channel that burden elsewhere. By letting more oxygen reach your brain, your mind becomes clearer and life’s problems feel a little lighter.

Let’s take a peek! What fitness elements could you bring into your workout space design with your home designer or architect?

A DEDICATED GYM AREA

Indoor fitness enthusiasts have largely shifted toward gym memberships, since they get access to more complete facilities and more focused training with a personal trainer. Creating a gym feel at home is actually not difficult. Free or premium fitness apps generally give us access to maintain our workout routine with a virtual personal trainer. Fitness apps also typically come complete with diet recommendation features to help us reach our goals. The variety of software you can download to your smartphone also makes exercising easier, even from home alone.

To build a gym area, first consider the spot you want to use. Make sure that spot doesn’t just provide enough room to roll out your yoga mat, but also space for the gym equipment you want (whether small, medium, or large). Designing a dedicated gym area with a home architect is the right solution for anyone who wants their healthy zone to look aesthetic, elegant, and sustainable, while always making you want to stay in it.

CREATING A MULTI-PURPOSE SPACE

With limited space at home, you might run out of ideas for where you can exercise comfortably. Your bedroom, the TV room, the yard, the terrace, and more — all of it can be put to use. You just need to estimate which area can be used to roll out a mat, especially for yoga, since it doesn’t require a lot of movement space. Unlike cardio exercises with equipment like a treadmill, you can place that equipment in a separate room from your yoga area. The goal we want to achieve is making sure that workout space doesn’t feel cramped or stuffy.

A SWIMMING POOL

Swimming in hot weather while exercising is a lot of fun, whether with others or alone. Water, with its calming effect, is often a popular medium for therapy too. That said, there are a few considerations for building a pool that you can learn more about here. It’s easier for your home designer or architect to plan for pool space when building a brand-new home. Even if you need to remodel your home to create new pool space, using a home design service is the wise choice.

ARRANGING PUSH BARS AND BARBELLS

It’s common knowledge that strength-building exercises require weighted equipment like push bars and barbells of varying weights. Once your dedicated gym area is complete, it’s a good idea to customize a storage rack for your weights so the room stays looking tidy. You can also add decor such as a full-length mirror, a special non-slip mat, motivational fitness slogans on the wall, a table or shelf for your speaker, and storage for workout outfits and damp towels after exercising in that space.
