If you're tired of crowded fitness centers, expensive memberships, or just want the convenience of working out on your own schedule, a home gym may be exactly what you need. And here's the best part—you don’t have to build an addition or renovate your house to get one. With a quality portable building from Willow Prairie Portable Buildings, you can create your own custom workout space right in your backyard!
Here’s how to turn a portable building into your dream home fitness space—and why it’s one of the smartest investments you can make.
Why Use a Portable Building for Your Home Gym?
✔️ Quick setup – No major construction required
✔️ Affordable – Lower cost than building a room addition
✔️ Customizable – Choose your layout, windows, doors, and options
✔️ Private & convenient – Work out whenever you want, without the commute!
With sizes ranging from compact sheds to roomy cabins, we can match you with the ideal building to fit your equipment, goals, and budget.
Plan Your Space Right
Before we deliver your building, it helps to plan out your gym setup. Here are a few things to consider:
Size: Will you be using free weights, machines, or doing yoga and cardio? A 10x16 or 12x20 building is a popular choice for home gyms.
Floor strength: Our buildings are constructed with quality flooring, but let us know if you’ll be using especially heavy equipment so we can guide you to the right model or add additional support as needed.
Lighting & Insulation: Ask us about insulation, transom windows, windowed doors, etc. to provide your gym with natural lighting and prep to make it comfortable year-round.
Electricity: If you plan to add lights, a fan, or plug in equipment, talk to a licensed electrician about installing power once your building is in place.
Customize It Your Way
Many customers add mirrors, rubber flooring, storage racks, and Bluetooth speakers to make their gym both functional and motivating. We’ll help you start with the right shell so you can personalize it however you like.
