Home gyms have become a popular trend in recent years, and they are now considered essential. According to the 2023 Houzz US Emerging Summer Trends Report, searches for home gyms have more than doubled. However, creating your own home gym can be expensive, particularly if you have a lot of money to spend. Mark Wahlberg is partially to blame for raising the bar when it comes to home gyms. When training for his role in “The Fighter,” he added a $2 million home gym to his Beverly Hills mansion. This gym included weights, machines, cardio equipment, heavy bags, and even a full-size boxing ring. The gym is described as a 3,000-square-foot Equinox right in Wahlberg’s home. If you’re interested in experiencing this luxurious home gym, Wahlberg’s former Beverly Hills mansion is currently on the market for $27 million.
It’s not just Mark Wahlberg who enjoys working out at home. Madonna also spent a significant amount of money to create a private workout space in her Upper East Side mansion. However, since space is limited in New York City, she had to build up rather than out, which reportedly cost her $2 million. On the other hand, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson chose a more budget-friendly option for his home gym in Florida, only spending $300,000. He even has multiple home gyms across his properties, all decorated with American flags, kitchens, and loud music, but no mirrors.
Not only celebrities but also average individuals are investing in home gyms. People are looking for more flexibility and the ability to integrate online classes and instructors into their workouts. Kevin Chan, co-founder of Nivek Remas, a luxury interior design firm in Toronto, has noticed a shift towards free weights, pulleys, and racks instead of machines. Clients also prioritize overall wellness, as seen in a recent project featuring a $1.5 million gym with a lounge, studio, and outdoor yoga area.
If you don’t have enough indoor space, outdoor gyms can also be an option. A $24.9 million compound in Malibu offers a backyard gym made from a repurposed shipping container. It even includes an infrared sauna and is filled with sand from the adjacent beach, giving it a unique beach-like vibe. For those who want something truly distinctive, a climbing wall can be the hippest addition to a home gym. World champion climber Sasha DiGiulian spent $65,000 turning the attic above her garage in Boulder, Colorado into a mini mountain. She can climb for hours on her rotating Treadwall motorized wall, reaching heights that even Yao Ming couldn’t stand up to.
Some individuals justify splurging on their home gyms by using them for work purposes. OnlyFans creator Bryce Adams converted a pole barn into a luxurious gym worth $200,000. She can keep her physique on fleek while also filming X-rated videos for her large following. Her gym includes high-end equipment like the Booty Builder, Watson dumbbells, a Functional Trainer, and Atlantis machines. However, the most valuable asset in her gym is her cat, Lily, whom she rescued. Adams highly recommends having an animal for emotional support during tough sets.
