The honest answer is: less than you think. A 2m² mat area is enough to stretch, do yoga, or smash a bodyweight session. Add a cardio machine and you're looking at around 3m² per piece of kit - enough to move freely and stay safe. If free weights or a rack are on your wishlist, aim for 10m² or more to give yourself room to lift properly.
One thing people often overlook: ceiling height. Overhead presses, squats, and jumping movements all need vertical clearance - so before you plan anything, look up.
Not sure if your space measures up? That's exactly what we're here for.
Choice of flooring will depend on a number of factors such as where your home gym is based (in a garage, in an upstairs spare room), what equipment you choose and your budget. Our flooring tiles are a popular choice to protect your sub floor, reduce noise and protect your equipment.
It's completely up to you, and your preferred training style. We have had customers who have had a full home cardio space, studio spaces and free weight training spaces (or a mixture of all the above). We work with you to tailor equipment choices to your desired outcome.
