The private gym in the Essex self-build was converted from an unfinished shell into a fully equipped workout space. The room accommodates both cardio and strength training with treadmills, dumbbells, barbells, a power rack, a squat rack and an adjustable pulley system. Wood-veneered acoustic slat walls were installed to improve sound and add warmth. Instagram reactions praised the transformation and expressed interest in training there. The self-build began after the couple bought the plot in 2019 and forms part of a larger home project that includes a pool, marble kitchen island, cinema room and custom dressing room.

Several years later, that space is complete - and it's a transformation that blends high-end design with practical training needs. The gym started as an unfinished shell, with wires hanging loosely from the ceiling and walls left bare.
The layout has been carefully planned to accommodate both cardio and strength training. Alongside treadmills and dumbbells, the room contains barbells, a power rack, a squat rack and an adjustable pulley system. To elevate the aesthetic beyond the typical home setup, wood-veneered acoustic slat walls now line the space, softening the acoustics and adding a sense of warmth to what might otherwise have been a stark room of machinery and weights.
