Plate 1 · Open gym

Corner open. Rack ready. Garden air.

A dedicated garden gym — cedar cladding, bifolds stacked aside, rubber floor and real kit looking out to the lawn.

Plate 2 · Evening session

After work. Lights on. No commute.

Soft soffit light on timber and glass — bike and elliptical waiting at the end of the garden, not across town.

Plate 3 · Gym pod

Small footprint. Treadmill. One goal.

A compact mono-pitch pod for cardio and mats — enough room to train properly without taking the whole garden.

Plate 4 · Yoga with friends

Three mats. Open doors. Shared pace.

Not a lonely basement stretch — friends on the floor, glass open to the garden, a room built for moving together.

Plate 5 · Deck class

Mats on the deck. Room as backdrop.

Weekend session outside — cedar pavilion behind, lawn beyond, the garden gym doubling as a place to gather and breathe.

Plate 6 · Large zones

Weights. Mats. Cardio. One long room.

A wider mono-pitch plan zoned for strength, floor work, and machines — a full home gym without leaving the plot.

Plate 7 · After

Water. Laugh. Stay a while.

The session ends on the mats — friends cooling down where they trained, garden light still in the room.

Plate 8 · Kit wall

Mirror. Pull-up. Hex bells.

Everyday clear light on cedar and glass — the kit you reach for first, set up properly at the bottom of the garden.
