Amid the pandemic, people came to appreciate the value of private spaces, offering a chance to step outdoors, stroll, or even have picnics. For some, like the married duo Jodie and Andy, their focus extended to transforming their property into a full-fledged gym.

However, their approach surpassed the norm. Instead of just setting up standard outdoor fitness gear, the couple took it a step further—they constructed their own home gym entirely by themselves.

Initially considering hiring professionals for the task, Andy took on the entire project after learning about the costs for labor and design. Upon calculating the expenses, they realized they saved approximately £11,000 on construction, equivalent to over one million rubles.

Remarkably, Jody and Andy completed the construction within a mere three weeks. Their build utilized wooden boards, siding, and specific slats. Repurposing old windows and doors stored in the basement added a unique touch to their creation.

Inside, the gym was adorned with a wall-length mirror, and the exercise equipment and mats were acquired from a specialized store.

While neighbors initially noted the bustling construction, their perspective shifted upon understanding the couple’s ambitious project, sparking thoughts of creating their own fitness hubs.
