Home Gym Layouts That Work in a Single Bedroom
Maximising a 3m x 3m spare room for a complete workout.
25/01/2025•1 min read•Dr. James Miller, CSCS
The spare bedroom is the classic home gym location. The key is perimeter usage—keeping the centre clear for movement.
The 'L' Layout
Place your Multi-Gym or rack in one corner and your storage in the adjacent corner. This leaves the diagonal open for floor work or a bench.
Who This Is For
Homeowners dedicating a specific small room (approx 9sqm) to fitness.
Who This Is Not For
Combined bedroom/gyms where the bed takes up 60% of the floor. In that case, stick to portable Strength tools.
