Improving Your Home and Your Body: The Benefits of Private Gyms

Though most of us realise the importance of taking care of our bodies and keeping fit, it’s not always easy to get out to the gym. Going for a run or finding the time to coordinate diaries and meet up with friends for a game of tennis can also be difficult given the hectic schedules that we face these days.

As a result, these busy lifestyles have encouraged many to set up gyms in their homes. It is difficult to commit time to travelling to another location and this can lead to the downfall of many a fitness regime. By having a dedicated room in the house where you can exercise at any time you choose, the likelihood of keeping up with that new year’s resolution is far greater! If you can only fit in a half hour work out, you can do just that, rather than wasting time in the car driving to and from your local fitness center.

At first glance, a private gym in your home can sound like an expensive luxury but if you compare the gym set up price to a membership subscription at a fitness center, you may be surprised! This is particularly true if more than one member of the family wants to join and you split your time between two locations, perhaps the UK and Spain, and therefore need to be a member of two gyms and pay subs even when you are not in the country. At home, not only can you choose the equipment that you want to use but you can ensure there’s something for all the family to enjoy, motivating younger and older generations to keep fit too.

At Marbella Living, we can help you find ideal, exclusive homes that already feature state of the art gymnasiums or that are ready to have your own private gyms installed. In some of the bigger villas, they are complemented by saunas and jacuzzis to enhance your work out (an relaxation!) routine, and many even have indoor heated pools. When visiting one of these houses, it is important to check with your agent whether or not the gym equipment is included in the price although we can recommend suppliers if you need to replace or add to what is already there.

But if you’re not quite ready to give up a whole room of your property over to fitness, then why not look out for a villa located on a complex with exclusive facilities for residents. Many Marbella developments have facilities such as social clubss, indoor swimming pool, gyms, jacuzzis, saunas, tennis courts and outdoor swimming pools just for property owners and their visitors. You get the best of both worlds!
