Make your sunroom into a home gym
When it starts raining outside, the last thing you’d probably want to do is get a workout in. But paying for a gym membership to workout inside cat add up. What about if you could have the best of both worlds, and turn your outdoor space into the best home gym?
It’s true: your three-season retractable sunroom is one of the best places to convert into a home gym because you can:
- Easily open up the panels to get some airflow in
- Enjoy the views of surrounding nature
- Close up the panels but still enjoy a semi-outdoor space
So, what are some great activities for your sunroom?
A sunroom, or any outdoor space, is the perfect place for yoga or meditation. Being near nature and practically ‘outdoors’, without actually being so, allows you to connect with nature in a way that just is not possible in an indoor gym.
Exercise bikes are a great fit for your sunroom, because they don’t take up a lot of space. They do, however, still provide great opportunity for an immersive workout. In a retractable, seamless sunroom—it’s almost like you’re biking outside.
Depending on how much space you have , a treadmill can also be a great option, because it can have a set spot in the room. Whatever the weather, you can be sure that its suitable for a walk or jog near nature, and for some models, you can even roll them away when you’re not using them.
Want to take your home gym to the next level? If your sunroom comes with a steady roof, you could also hang some exercise rings to practice some gymnastics in the sunroom. This is a solid option if space is limited, because the rings hanging from the roof essentially take up no space in the retractable sunroom.
More room for creativity
The extra space in your home can also be used for any activity, and not just fitness. For example, fun activities like setting up a tent and going camping in your own backyard can be great activities, especially with children. You can even set up a sports track for your pet, and let them have some fun in the sunroom as well. Whether it be people or pets, the sunroom provides for a great safe space for everyone to enjoy.
Of course, the versatility of uses for your sunroom do not stop at a home gym. In addition, a retractable sunroom can be used as a dining room, playroom, home office—the opportunities are endless.
