Factors to Think About in a Connecticut Home Gym Basement Conversion

When completing any kind of basement renovation project, there are things to consider for safety and well-being. You’ll also need to keep in mind the customization you’re hoping for in your project. Going through a few items before you bring in the pros will make sure you’re fit and ready for the renovation to begin.

• Size – The overall size of your basement will determine the space you have available. Your needs might require that the whole basement is dedicated to the home gym or only a small space might be necessary.
• Health and Safety – There are several considerations to protect your health and safety in a home gym basement renovation. Any leaks or buildup of moisture must be addressed as these can lead to mold and mildew growth. Headspace is also an important factor for anyone who may be jumping or other exercises or equipment that need a good amount of ceiling height.
• Flooring – The flooring you choose in a home gym is up to you. Because basements are usually built on a slab floor made of concrete, there is an option for flooring including rubber flooring like you’d find in a gym or interlocking vinyl planks with pads on top of the floor to protect the equipment.  Or you may be able to go without any flooring added at all. However, you may want to consider a flooring option that protects the concrete from any dropping weights or other pieces of equipment.  Concrete may be hard, but it’s not indestructible and can chip and crack.
• Lighting – Lighting is another area that you can customize to your tastes. However, you may want to opt for choices that are protected from mishaps with equipment.
• Equipment – are you planning on installing equipment that uses electricity? The location of outlets and where any power cords will run is something to consider.  Finding ways to keep cords from becoming tripping hazards is something to work into your plan.
• Extras – You should also think about all the extra features you want to be included in your home gym. Televisions and sound systems are a popular option to keep you entertained while you’re working out. This may lead to a discussion about the placement of electrical outlets and wiring for any audio/visual equipment. You may also want to consider large mirrors on some or all the walls and storage for your equipment, towels, mats, and other essential items.
• The “oh, I didn’t know that” factors – This is where you can sometimes use a professional to help you avoid headaches later.  For example, if you live in a Homeowners Association (HOA), they may ask to see contractor’s licenses, proof of insurance, and plans before approving the project.
