According to a report by Healf, in the post-COVID world, “fitness is no longer just about rocking a six-pack, but about building a body (and mind) that’s resilient, balanced, and equipped for long-term wellbeing.”
This shift has reshaped not only commercial gyms but the way people approach fitness at home. Home gyms are no longer purely functional spaces; they’re becoming environments designed to support both physical performance and mental well-being, spaces that need to feel as considered and intentional as any other part of the home.
It’s no longer enough to simply have the equipment; factors like layout, flow, and atmosphere now play a crucial role in motivation, consistency, and the overall experience of training.
This was exactly the thinking behind Emma’s brief.
About three months ago, Emma came to us with a mission: to build a beautiful, compact home gym for the whole family; a sanctuary for both body and mind.
Creating something that felt this considered meant taking the time to get every detail right. Shaped by detailed consultation, we spent three months working with Emma to refine the designs and equipment.
What we installed:
- - Gym flooring
- - Custom modular storage solutions
- - Custom bench
Emma needed her kit and storage to be heavily customised – that’s why she came to Pullum. Everything we make is hand-built to order in our UK factory. With us, anything is possible; no matter the space, no matter the requirements.
For a 4.9m x 5.4m home gym, it’s vital to make use of every available square inch. For this project, we created a variety of custom-built, space-saving solutions and worked alongside her building contractors to ensure that this gym wasn’t just equipment in a room, but a considered, balanced environment.
Before:
Additionally, we went with the scorpion squat stands, perfect for gyms where space is at a premium. Their compact and adjustable design makes them the ideal fit for a range of exercises in any space, while the safety bar gives you added security while performing heavy lifts
The completed gym reflects a high-end professional space, inspiring its users. Akin to a luxury spa or yoga studio, the design encourages holistic wellness and mindful exercise.
After:
Emma carefully chose from our wide range of upholstery and frame colours and finishes to create a consistent, calming aesthetic for her training space. Combined with the gorgeous wall panelling, the result was a truly unique, Pinterest-worthy home gym.
Even Emma's Dog, Molly, felt at home in the new gym!
