Create the Perfect Basement Exercise Room with NOVA Basement Finishing

Home Improvement Gym

By going to the gym, they can escape from their homes and take a short break.

You spend more time driving to the gym than a workout requires.

Home Gym

  • The first reason is flexibility. You don’t need to leave the house and make an extra trip, especially when the weather is bad, and you don’t have to worry about keeping to a tight schedule.
  • The second reason is the cost and benefits of a gym membership compared to the cost and benefit of a home gym. Choosing a home gym does not mean it must be filled with expensive equipment. Privacy is another good and big reason for a home gym. You can focus, push yourself, and get a good idea of what you can and can’t do. You can also focus your training without having to deal with distractions.

KEEPING IT COOL – Controlling the Temperature in the Basement Gym

Basement gyms must have the correct equipment installed—customer satisfaction but for Health and Safety.

The most important considerations when building a basement gym are temperature and airflow. Unlike a gym above the ground floor, the simple solution of opening a window for light or fresh air is not always possible.

“OPTIMUM Gym Temperature is Between 18- 20 degrees depending on the season and personal preference.”

Issues such as condensation or unclean air mustn’t occur for health and safety reasons. Unclean or ‘old air’  can result in a minor sore throat or breathing problems due to a larger number of bacteria microorganisms in the air.

Badly managed humidity can also lead to condensation or dry skin problems.

“ Air inside a basement gym needs to be controlled to maintain that optimum temperature and humidity with air conditioning and air extraction systems”.

This is an essential aspect of a gym for health and safety reasons.

The different-sized gyms will require different amounts of maintenance to ensure the flow is clean and appropriately distributed. A home basement gym needs these systems.

The air conditioning and air exchange systems are installed to regulate the correct sanitary temperature.

The perfect temperature in a gym is always a huge factor that sets it apart from the competition, especially in the summer months.
