If you want to work out at home and don’t want to have to think about a gym membership, a garden gym is a great choice. Many people would love a home gym but don’t have the extra space in their home to make it a reality. But with a garden gym, you have all the space you need to work out.
At Into the Garden Room, we design and build high-quality custom garden rooms for our customers in Kent and Surrey. Garden rooms can be used for a wide range of purposes, and garden gyms are very popular. Contact us today to find out more about how we can help you create your own outdoor garden gym.
Why Get a Garden Gym?
There is a lot to be said for having your own gym at home. There is no need to travel to the gym and no worries about paying for an expensive gym membership. But you need to have a suitable space to convert into a gym, somewhere with enough space for all your equipment. And that’s where a garden gym becomes a great idea.
A garden gym consists of a timber building that has been converted into a gym. Once your timber building has been put up, you can add any equipment you want including weights, a running machine, a cross trainer and anything else you want in your gym.
Another great thing about having a gym in your garden is that you won’t bother anyone else in your home. Gyms can be noisy places, but when your gym is in the garden, anyone else living in your home won’t be disturbed.
Finally, you get to enjoy working out in pleasant surroundings. Many of our garden buildings have large windows or openings so you can look out upon your garden and get inspiration as you work out.

Custom Garden Gyms from the Experts
Not all garden gyms in the UK are the same, and that’s why people choose Into the Garden Room. We are the experts in garden buildings, and we’ll be delighted to help you design and create a quality garden gym.
All our garden gyms are custom. If you have a particular size, shape or design that you want, we can build it for you. Whether you want a small gym in the corner of your garden, or a large gym in the centre with separate rooms, we can help.
Our garden rooms are made to the very highest standards and from the highest quality timber. We also use techniques that have been perfected over many years to ensure your outdoor gym is designed to last.
Because of this, they are also comfortable to use. Our garden gyms are insulated so you can enjoy your gym in complete comfort all year round. These are comfortable buildings that are a real joy to use.
And if you decide you no longer want to use it as a gym, you can simply convert the space to use it for another purpose. Our garden rooms are used as summer houses, garden offices, playrooms, yoga studios and many other things.
We’re a friendly and passionate bunch, and we love garden rooms of all kinds. We love working with our customers and helping them create their dream garden gyms, and we look forward to helping you too!
Frequently Asked Questions
Building a garden gym follows a similar process to building any garden room. However, it’s important to make sure the floor is strong enough to withstand the use of heavy equipment. You will want to make sure your gym is large enough for all the equipment you plan to use, and you may even want to consider a separate shower or changing area for extra comfort.
““
Garden gyms can be any size you want, but they must be under 10m x 10m if you don’t want to apply for planning permission. However, they don’t have to be this large. In general, a garden gym of 3m x 3m is about the smallest you will probably want it to be. 5m x 4m is probably more common, but it depends on how you will use it and the size of equipment you want it to keep inside.
Like any type of garden building, a garden gym does not require planning permission as long as it meets specific requirements. Garden gyms are permitted developments, but your garden gym should be no larger than 10m x 10m, the eaves should be a maximum of 2.5 metres high, the overall height should be under 4 metres with a dual pitched roof or 3 metres with any other roof. If it is located within 2 metres of a property boundary, it should have a maximum height of 2.5 metres.
Yes, this is a very popular use for a garden room. As long as the garden building is made to a high quality and is strong enough to be used for your workouts, it’s a great option. Many of our models, like The Dawn, can be used as garden gyms.
