When I started working on the renovations, I had some faulty assumptions.
I was used to working out at the gym, but in our post-COVID times I was hesitant about going back, so I decided to make our own home gym.
At the time, I believed that the most important thing was having enough space for the equipment I wanted to use. I have come to realize that the best section of the gym, the section I always took for granted, was how comfortable it was. Climate control is not something that I ever assume about until there is a problem, but without reasonable temperature control our home gym was not at all satisfying. The temperature control for the home gym is straight-forward enough to manage, but the tricky section is the air quality. The gym uses such a high powered Heating & A/C idea that it is always refreshing the air. The air circulation never stops in the gym, so the air is always being pushed through numerous air filters. This gets rid of the ungodly stink that can be generated in a gym, plus substitutes it with clean, fresh air quality. The main hurdle I had to overcome was the air quality, but within numerous afternoons our home gym stinked certainly awful. I bought numerous freestanding whole-house air purifiers to put in the corners of the room. When combined with the Heating & A/C system, these little machines should clean out the air quality in this room, plus keep it stinking normal. If not, I may have to get numerous whole-house air purifiers plus see if that works.
