About

A workshop that builds private gyms.

Home Gyms Design is the design-and-build arm of Terra Hale. For a decade we’ve installed studio-grade training rooms in private homes — in London, in New York, in Dubai. The brief is always different. The standard is the same.

Architects and trainers, in the same room.

We started Home Gyms Design because the industry’s two halves rarely meet. Architects don’t programme training. Trainers don’t draft elevations. The result is rooms that look beautiful and don’t work, or rooms that work and look unfinished.

Our team brings both disciplines to one table. A senior trainer maps the programme. An architect translates it into a plan. A workshop hand-builds the equipment. One project manager runs the schedule.

Wood, because it lasts.

Most commercial gym equipment is made of welded steel and rubber. It corrodes, it dates, it ends up in landfill within a decade. We make our free-weight stands, benches, ice baths and sauna cabins from solid hardwood — joined, oiled, repairable for life.

The carbon cost of a Home Gyms Design build measures roughly one-fifth of an equivalent commercial-grade fit-out, calculated independently per project. It’s a quieter way to build, but the maths is straightforward.

A sister to Terra Hale.

Home Gyms Design shares its workshop, its team and its standards with Terra Hale, the private training studios in Notting Hill and Chelsea. Many of our clients are Terra Hale members who wanted the practice at home; many of our designs end up referenced back in the studios. The two sides feed each other.
