Sticking to an exercise routine can be tough, but a home gym makes it easier. There’s no travel time, and your home gym is always open, making it more convenient to fit into your schedule. And with no monthly membership dues, the price is terrific.
Home gyms come in all shapes and sizes, and for any budget. To make the most of your workout space, it should be designed with your specific fitness goals and personal preferences in mind. It’s really important that you like your exercise space—that you’re drawn to it—in order to maximize the odds that you’ll actually use it.
If you’re thinking about adding a home gym to your living space, here are seven different exercise rooms in Fort Collins and Loveland to inspire your project (and motivate your workout!).
Bright Basement Finish
(Before) The unfinished ceiling in this basement home gym made the space feel uninviting, and the overhead fluorescent lights were harsh and glaring. (After) The finished space—with new drywall, flooring, paint and lighting—is bright, clean and welcoming. See the full Fort Collins home renovation in “1960s Ranch Remodel.”
Heated Garage Gym
In downtown Loveland, HighCraft designed and built a 980-s.f. carriage house over a garage that doubles as a home gym.
The finished garage is also heated and well lit—both key components to creating a workout area that homeowners enjoy using. Check out more personal health and wellness spaces in “7 Retreats for the Soul.”
Repurposed Guest Bedroom
During this Fort Collins basement remodel, we converted a rarely used guest bedroom into an exercise room with plenty of space for a stationary bike, treadmill, yoga mat and free weights. The vinyl plank flooring is durable and easy to clean. View the full basement renovation in “Ultimate Basement Hangout.”
Gym with a View
In this Loveland remodel, we created a home gym with durable cork flooring, large picture windows, and a free-weight station. Stunning lake views make fitness easy to prioritize.
A wall mirror helps the homeowners check their form as they work out. It also expands their view and makes the room feel bigger and brighter. Explore the full gallery of this Loveland home remodel in “Grand Waterfront Retreat.”
Tucked Away Gym
This small but mighty home gym is located just beyond the family room at the base of the stairs. Tucked behind modern glass doors, it provides a private space to knock out a quick workout without feeling closed in.

Rock Climbing Gym and Sauna
(Before) This dark, unfinished basement in southeast Fort Collins was a large blank canvas with a ton of potential. (After) The remodel created distinct activity zones, including a climbing wall with crash pad.
The basement also boasts a large steam shower and sauna, perfect for relaxing sore muscles after a climbing session. See the entire project gallery in “Adventure-Ready Basement Remodel with Custom Sauna.”
Full Basement Home Gym
This home gym in Loveland spans the entire open footprint of the basement.
During the whole-house remodel, our team transformed an uninviting basement into the home gym of our clients’ dreams. Abundant can lighting, fresh paint, and interlocking rubber-tile flooring make it an inviting and practical space for a workout.
The newly updated corner bathroom is perfect for a post-workout shower. Check out this whole-house renovation in “Light and Bright 90s Loveland Remodel.”
