A Home Gym Shipping Container

The perfect solution is to buy a gym made from shipping containers. Just imagine not needing to drive to the gym! By turning a shipping container into a gym, get rid of queuing for the running machines, no more scheduling around opening times, and no more dealing with over-crowded changing rooms. Instead, pop across your garden for a workout, and enjoy your very own, personalised shipping container gym. And the best part – you can work out at any time!

So let’s get you started and get yourself into shape quickly! As an example, we could begin with a standard 20ft new (once shipped) container and install a secure personnel door (allows easier access). Whether you’re pounding the treadmill or doing a little yoga, consider where to position your shipping container gym. You can fit large windows for the perfect outlook. so make the most of the outside view when deciding where to situate the container.

Secondly, we will fully insulate the unit; with 3mm white faced MDF over glass wool insulation, to a timber stud frame. Not only will this look smart and professional, it will ensure a balanced temperature and prevent condensation.

Fitting electrics into your container gym is an important consideration, and at Lion containers we supply, fit and test all electrical components. Shipping containers can be modified to suit your ideas, from simple electrics to more complex set-ups. This covers gym equipment, standard or high spec mood lighting, sound and TV systems.

Climate Control

For gym conversions, we advise installing a complete climate control system. This involves a number of multi-function air conditioners, controlled directly by the user. This means you will have total power to monitor temperature, including heating, cooling, humidity and air circulation.

Structural Modifications

For shipping container gyms, we reinforce the floor with a 3mm Durbar floor, with stitch weld and sealed joints. A reinforced floor is essential to hold the weight of heavy gym equipment.
