Hello!
I am currently planning my new house and have recently signed the notary contract for the plot of land. At the moment, I am comparing several providers to find the right partner for my construction project.
I am browsing the internet daily to gather ideas for my dream home, and one thing keeps bothering me:
I want to have my own training room in the basement of the house. For this, I would like to use the well-known (although somewhat more expensive) Gym80 equipment (in case you are not familiar with them: these are strength training machines, which can also be found at places like McFit). The downside of these machines — besides the price — is that they are hardly dismantled (the machines are welded and delivered on pallets).
Now I am wondering how I can get the machines into the new building at all. I am planning a terrace at the basement level and a double-leaf patio door; however, I will not be able to get the machines through the doors inside the house. During the shell construction phase, I also cannot have the machines lifted in by a crane, since at that time there will still be no underfloor heating or screed installed.
Even though this is a rather unusual problem, does anyone have an idea how I can get my training equipment into my basement? Or am I forced to switch to machines that can be disassembled?
Kind regards from the Ruhr area!

Do you think you will still enjoy it in 5 or 10 years?I think so; I’ve been doing this for 5 years already, and my interest and motivation to improve remain strong :-)

Something like a "curtain" never even crossed my mind 😉 :p
Seriously though: it makes sense to plan a wide patio door with a low terrace that can also be used for morning exercises or similar. With a slope, it should be difficult for anyone to look in. But that’s the least of your concerns (see curtain). Fresh air supply will then also be guaranteed.
And if morning workouts aren’t your thing: by the time you’re 70, you’ll be doing squats on that terrace 🙂
Best regards, Yvonne
The terrace is meant for evening barbecues, and I wouldn’t want my guests to have a direct view of my workout equipment. That’s why I didn’t plan the training room right next to the terrace. But since there is no other option than to build a wide patio door directly to the training room, I guess I will have to live with it.
