ᐅ Fitness corner in the utility room?

Quick question, is this a viable option? It’s about a so-called power rack and a bench for bench pressing. Is the utility room a suitable space for this? Surely better than an unheated attic or garage? What do you think?

If there is enough space? It’s really a question of whether you want to work out next to the washing machine running.

Better than a storage corner in the utility room 😀

Not for me.
I’d rather have a garden and shovel snow from one side of the street to the other in winter. I prefer sweating outdoors rather than inside the utility room next to the heat pump and the washing machine (and the clean laundry). Outdoor exercise is much more enjoyable. But to each their own.

Not next to the washing machine, but training with the washing machine.

By the way, the world record for the washing machine throw is 4.69 meters (15.4 feet). So, that means you should plan the utility room to be big enough. 😀

In that case, it’s better to have a separate room. Of course, standard floor plans for living rooms, children’s rooms, bedrooms, kitchens, and bathrooms don’t include this. But if you have the option to design your own layout, you should also plan one (or two) rooms for hobbies; otherwise, you might as well stay in a rental apartment.

For example, we have a huge playroom (we don’t have children, it’s for us!) and three rooms just for the pets (not that we have that many, but they have the space). Somehow you have to allocate 200 m² (2,153 ft²) between two people.
