Home Fitness Studio Design

by Sue
(Twin Cities, MN)

I am looking for some advice... I am starting up a personal training business where there will be an option to come to my studio in my home or go to clients home to train. My question is does anyone know a good place or resource I could use to design my personal training studio? I have about 1000 square feet to work with. I love this website.
Thank you!

Studio space - less is better
by: holisticwellnessnetwork.com

Don't clutter your fitness studio with machines that just take up space and only work on limited movement patterns. Stick with the basics.

Small 45/55cm and Large 65cm stabilityballs
10-30lb kettlebells (until your clients get stronger)
very large padded mat (4'x6') Matsmatsmats.com is great.
a set of resistance bands.
A massage table used for stretching clients and various exercises is very useful for saving your knees from kneeling on the floor, but comes with a hefty price. I still feel its worth it. Oakworks.com is the best for tables.
bosu ball is also a great investment. My home page has a link to the best site on the net for ordering training products. Check out my website and let me know what you think.

You can check out my studio as well at www.the-garage-fitness.com. I use my garage which is about 16' x 26'... it was a challenge finding everything I needed in the space--I felt some sort of lat pulldown was essential so I got a functional trainer that has proved invaluable as well as a bench that is compact and can be used as a squat rack-- I also have bosus, resistance bands, free weights, medicine balls, stability balls... it looks nothing like a "garage" and I have enough space to do small classes.

Studio Design
by: Drew Edmonds

There are many fitness consultants and personal trainers that can help you design your personal training studio. These professionals can help you with layout, equipment procurement, etc. I would be more than happy to help you!

My wife and I have a studio in our home that has about 400 sq ft. We have an assortment of band,stability balls, dumbbells from 2 1/2 to 50 lbs, a smith machine with 2 benches, and a multi-station. We have comfortable space for up to three clients for circuit training. We also travel to our clients, bringing a portable bench, stability ball, bands, bixing equipment, and dumbbells.

Yours in health,
