A Home Gym That Gets You Going
The playlist is loud, the screen has your workout, and the air is cool before you walk in. A home gym should take zero setup, so the only thing between you and the workout is you.
Tap a scene to see what the room does.
Scene
Strength
Bright, cool light, loud music and cold air.
- Lighting: Full brightness and cool white.
- Audio: Your playlist at workout volume, with real bass.

What Goes In the Room
The home gym, system by system
Sound that hits
Speakers and a subwoofer built for workout volume, without shaking the rest of the house.
Big screen
A TV or projector you can follow from the bike, the rower or the mat.
Lighting
Lutron scenes from bright and cool for lifting to low and warm for stretching.
Climate
Its own zone, cooled before you arrive.
Shades
Motorized, to keep glare off the screen and the mirror.
Wired network
Connected bikes, rowers and screens on a solid connection.
For Architects and Builders
Plan it before framing
Most of what makes this room work is decided on paper: where the speakers go, where the wires run, how the light and air are zoned. We review the plans with your architect and builder and mark up what the room needs.
Pre-wire checklist
- Its own HVAC zone, sized for people working out
- Speaker and subwoofer locations, with isolation from rooms above or below
- Screen location and conduit, visible from the main equipment
- Network drops for connected bikes, rowers and TVs
- Dedicated circuits where equipment needs them
- Floor and wall reinforcement for racks and mounted screens
Home gym questions
What AV does a home gym need?
+
Music that can get loud without distortion, a screen you can see from the equipment, a wired network for connected bikes and rowers, and lighting and climate on scenes so the room is ready when you walk in.
How do you keep home gym music from shaking the house?
+
Speaker and subwoofer placement, plus isolation in the walls and floor. That is much easier to plan during design than to fix later.
Should a home gym have its own climate zone?
+
Yes, where possible. A gym warms up quickly, and cooling it without chilling the rest of the house needs its own zone.
