Bespoke Garden Gyms

Yes. London Timber Buildings handles the full installation, including the fitted kitchen, modern shower room fittings, water heating system, internal plaster finish, and all agreed finishing touches prior to final building control sign-off.

Running multiple pieces of motorised fitness equipment, such as treadmills, rowers, and exercise bikes, alongside air conditioning, smart TVs, and surround sound speakers requires a reliable power supply.

We include a heavy-duty consumer unit as part of your pre-wired electrical package and can install a dedicated mains connection from your house with ample double sockets strategically placed around your equipment layout.

Proper climate control is essential for a home gym. Every garden room features full thermal insulation in the floor, walls, and roof to regulate temperature year-round. To handle heat and moisture generated during high-intensity training, we recommend adding an air conditioning and climate control unit (which provides both cool air in summer and instant heat in winter) alongside opening trickle vents, bi-fold doors, or top-hung opening windows for natural cross-ventilation.

Our standard builds offer excellent natural sound deadening thanks to thick wall cavities, high-density insulation, and double-glazed doors and windows. However, if you plan to play loud music late at night or train heavy with deadlifts, we can incorporate enhanced acoustic insulation (such as sound-deadening plasterboard, acoustic insulation batts, and shock-absorbing rubber gym tiles) to minimise sound transfer to neighboring properties.

For most garden gyms built under Permitted Development (which caps the external height at 2.5 metres near boundaries), internal ceiling heights are typically around 2.05 to 2.15 metres, plenty of space for bench presses, squat racks, and cardio equipment.

If you require extra vertical clearance for overhead shoulder presses, pull-up rigs, or tall functional trainers, we can design a building with a higher roof profile (which may require formal planning permission) or utilise ground-level concrete foundations to maximize internal head height.

Yes, absolutely. We reinforce the subfloor structure during the design stage to easily accommodate heavy commercial gym equipment, power racks, cable machines, and heavy dumbbell sets. We use heavy-duty floor joists and high-density timber subfloors, and we recommend pairing this with a specialised rubber gym flooring system to absorb impact, protect equipment, and prevent floor wear over time.
