How to equip a home gym: the necessary equipment


The desire to maintain a healthy lifestyle and play sports can only be welcomed, but, unfortunately, for economic reasons, due to banal shyness, or simply due to the eternal lack of time to regularly attend classes at a fitness center, the desire to stay in shape often remains unrealized. But you can equip a gym at home! Work on setting up a gym at home is not limited to the purchase of exercise machines and sports equipment; in fact, there is serious work to be done to prepare the premises. Among others, the installation of ventilation and lighting systems, wall decoration and laying of flooring with materials of appropriate characteristics. This article is for those who decided to set up a gym at home with their own hands.

To exercise effectively, you need a well-ventilated, bright room, ideally spacious (at least 8m2). It is best to allocate a separate room for a home gym; in extreme cases, it is possible to arrange a sports area separated from the living space. Zoning can be done using lighting, a different color and texture of the floor covering, or using a sliding (and possibly stationary) partition.

Separately, it should be noted the need for forced ventilation, because during exercise, the heartbeat and breathing rate increase due to exercise. The body needs more oxygen. Sport is also a kind of physically hard work. Lack of illumination has a psychologically relaxing effect, it is easier to tune in to serious physical activity with good lighting, in addition, a gym at home must meet all safety requirements, among others - ensuring the proper level of illumination when working with sports equipment.

When choosing lighting fixtures, pay attention to LED and fluorescent light sources, because they emit little heat, which is important

Proper wall decoration

Plastic should not be used to decorate the walls and ceiling of the gym. Plastic coverings are inexpensive, easy to clean, quick to install, and damaged elements can be easily replaced. But for all their practicality, plastic lining and ceiling tiles are absolutely not suitable for a gym. The point is the vapor permeability of the materials: the formation of condensation on the surface of plastic panels can stimulate the growth of mold, which is extremely undesirable. Colored whitewashing, decorating walls with cork panels or even gluing paper wallpaper are the best options for finishing gym walls to maintain an optimal microclimate.

Choosing a floor covering

When choosing a flooring option, balance the requirements with its characteristics. The floor in the gym will be subject to serious loads, and heavy objects may fall. This means that you should choose a wear-resistant, impact-resistant and, naturally, non-slippery coating. Soundproofing properties are also important, especially when it comes to building a gym in a high-rise building. The most affordable option may be to lay high-quality parquet boards with the highest strength ratings.

Installation using the floating method on a soundproofing substrate will provide the required level of sound insulation. If it is necessary to “transform” the gym into, for example, a guest or children’s room, replacing the flooring will not be necessary. You can also use thick carpet, but when choosing a model, study its characteristics (the one intended for industrial premises is best suited). If the status of a “gym” is planned to be assigned to the premises for a long time, then a special polyurethane covering for gyms with a mat made of rubber granules can be used as a floor covering.

We design a home gym

When choosing a design option for a gym, remember, first of all, the functional purpose of the room. The choice of color scheme for the floor, walls, ceiling is not important - choose combinations that are comfortable to the eye, without being particularly sophisticated in the details.

The terracotta color of the walls in combination with the marsh-colored flooring looks harmonious and natural, and the rich shades in the decoration make the spacious gym room more comfortable

According to psychologists, bright, saturated colors can provoke fatigue and irritability. A light shade visually expands the space, while a darker shade can make a spacious room feel cozy. You can choose a neutral shade of color for the walls (say, light gray or beige), and choose some accessories (for example, a digital wall clock) in a contrasting rich bright scarlet or orange color. A sports-themed wall panel or a bright poster will undoubtedly add a positive note to the laconic design of your home gym. When decorating the windows of a sports room, the laconic simplicity of blinds or roller blinds is more appropriate than a luxurious curtain set.

Focus on functionality and comfort

The issue of rational use of free space when placing sports equipment is especially relevant in the case of arranging a sports corner in a small-sized city apartment. It’s easier to set up a gym in a country house (especially if there is a spacious veranda - you can’t find a better place). But in both the first and second cases, you cannot do without a rack for sports equipment. You will also need a hanger for clothes and towels, and a mat for performing exercises on the floor.

A wall mirror (preferably full-length) is a must-have attribute of any gym. It will allow you to control your posture and perform the exercises correctly. Be sure to consider the direction of lighting when choosing a location for the mirror. The wall opposite the window is the worst placement option, because in the mirror you can only see a dark silhouette against the backdrop of the illuminated window. A properly lit mirror should clearly display a home gym - a photo of such placement can be seen below.

Proper placement of a mirror in the gym will allow you to view your exercises from all sides and prevent mistakes when performing them.

The choice of equipment for training depends on your level of physical fitness and financial capabilities. It is also possible to equip a home gym with your own hands, choosing a less expensive replacement for expensive exercise equipment (this topic will be discussed later in one of the articles). In any case, when setting up a gym, it is important to free up the area of ​​the exercise equipment as much as possible, avoiding placing it close to the wall (the minimum allowable distance is 30 cm from the wall).

Making a home gym with your own hands is not easy, but once properly equipped, the room will be a functional and comfortable place to maintain health and excellent physical shape for many years.

Given the popularity of gyms, opening a fitness center is a profitable business. But organizational issues and the choice of specifics to ensure greater income require a serious approach, so that in the end you do not have to go broke due to expenses.

What should be the place for training at home?

Of course, it’s wonderful if there is a whole free room in the house that does not pretend to be a guest bedroom or a warehouse for household rubbish and old things. This is the kind of room that can be equipped as a home gym. Knowledgeable people claim that the most optimal area of ​​a home hall should be 8-10 square meters (the permissible minimum). In such a space you can easily place one or two exercise machines, a gymnastic bench and other necessary equipment. However, for most people who want to train at home, a separate room for training is a dream and it’s great if you can carve out part of any other room for these purposes.

A room that claims to be a gym must be well ventilated and bright, and also have the following characteristics:

  • sound insulation (for example, hitting the path while running can create discomfort for neighbors who are unlikely to like the characteristic “humming” overhead);
  • thermal insulation;
  • vapor absorption (so that the smell of sweat does not remain in the air).

The best flooring for a home gym is carpet, and the most suitable color spectrum is calm blue, gray, and beige shades of the walls. However, this is all frills. The most important thing in a home gym, of course, is not the color of the walls or their decoration, but the filling. That is, significant attention needs to be paid to the content and sports equipment.

Market competition and potential customers

According to experts and people with experience in this field, the sports business will be profitable only in settlements where the population starts from 30 thousand. At the same time, you must definitely look at the competition. Already 2-3 full-fledged and long-running sports clubs will not allow you to reach the required profit. If there are no competitors, then the payback will be at least 2 years.

If you are worried that your business will not be in demand, keep in mind that according to statistics, 1% of the population resorts to any kind of services. That is, in a city with 30 thousand, at least 300 people will become your clients. This is quite acceptable for a microdistrict in a metropolis.

We draw up a business plan based on the main client base (see also). Think about who could become your potential client? If you plan to open in the city center, then office managers will come to you, whose work is sedentary and a subscription to training near the office will suit many of them.

In general, you can target the following groups:

  • Office workers;
  • Schoolchildren and students;
  • Girls who watch their figure;
  • Bodybuilders.

All these four groups can easily coexist in one gym; for this you don’t even need to profile the exercise equipment, but if you are targeting a specific clientele, then certain nuances are worth taking into account. For example, for semi-professional bodybuilders and powerlifters, it is preferable to have strength training equipment in the maximum variety, while for people losing weight, aerobic exercise and an appropriate auxiliary arsenal are needed.

What should a fitness room be like?

What do visitors expect from the gym? This is a very important question and in your business project you must take into account the nuances that will require you to invest from the very beginning.

The ideal gym is bright, emotionally inviting, with a lot of mirrors. The training range is varied and individual equipment is presented in large quantities. Pleasant music plays in the background, motivating you to do even more. There is always an experienced trainer in the gym and the overall atmosphere is friendly. At any time there are no queues either in the gym itself or in the exercise equipment.

To achieve this picture, consider the following questions:

  • You will need a building or room with large windows and excellent ventilation;
  • In the room you need to either think through or find a room with adjacent showers;
  • The acoustics will need to be worked on;
  • Purchase and think through a combination of simulators in advance;
  • Find professional trainers;
  • Calculate the approximate attendance of the hall and the system of discounts so that there are no voids or, conversely, overcrowding in the room.

Vulture

Skimping on the fretboard is a bad idea. Of all the components of a gym, the quality of the bar is of utmost importance. The weights simply hang on the bar, the platform simply lies under your feet, but the bar acts as a link between you and the force that opposes you - gravity.

Sometimes the savings are worth it. For example, generic drugs are cheaper than branded analogues, although the active ingredient in them is the same. The same cannot be said about the Olympic bar. In most cases, you get exactly what you paid for. Unless you are lucky enough to find a good, cheap used barbell, but in today's era of rapidly growing interest in barbell training, you shouldn't count on such luck. Get ready to pay about 15,000 rubles for a good neck.

Why so expensive? Because metal is expensive, good production equipment costs money, and storing bars in warehouses is also expensive. A cheap neck will bend, but a bendy neck is junk. Scrap metal. A bar that bends no more than 3 mm is considered straight, and if the angle of deviation from a straight line is more than 4-5 mm, the bar is considered bendable.

Load such a bar with plates, and it will begin to play in your hands - the bar will “level” itself, the ends of the bar will go down, and an arc will form in the central part. For squats, it’s still all right, especially if the notches on the bar allow you to pick it up from the supports in a stable position. But if you take the bar off the rack for squats, bench presses, or lifting it off the ground for unstable deadlifts, the bar will begin to rotate in your hands or on your back. This is not good because there will be safety issues when performing the exercise.

Most commercial gyms have several bars, and usually they all bend because the gym owners buy cheap junk, don't know which bar is best, or just don't care. Bars in gyms also bend because visitors who did not buy the equipment with their own money throw them on the floor, on a bench or in a power rack. Even an expensive bar will bend under the weight of 150 kg if you throw it across the bench. But a cheap bar bends even when people simply forget to take it apart at the end of the day.

You can check the straightness of the neck by placing it on the floor and rotating it in the center (if the seat bushings are not welded). If the bushings are loose, the neck is not straight. Or you can test it by rotating it in a power rack - the end of the bent bar makes a circle whose diameter is larger than the seat sleeve, and the center of the bar moves back and forth with maximum deflection at the bend point. One of the benefits of a home gym is that you can always train with a perfectly straight bar.

There are bars of different diameters on sale. The Olympic Weightlifting Federation requires the diameter of the bar to be 28mm, while the International Powerlifting Federation requires the diameter to be between 28 and 29mm. The standard length of the bar is 2.2 meters, the diameter of the seating sleeve for plates is 50 mm, and the weight is 20 kg. The thicker the bar, the stronger it is, so weightlifters with sharp snatches and jerks use a softer 28 mm bar, while powerlifters need a stiffer bar because they lift heavier weights and perform exercises slower.

The Olympic Federation has a special 25mm standard for women's weightlifting (smaller hands need a smaller bar). Competing athletes need to take all this into account. For a home gym, a 28.5 or 29 mm bar is best; it is the most durable and wear-resistant. Never buy a 32mm neck. This is a special bar for squats, which is of no use in a home gym. Usually they are all so-so. Another pile of scrap metal.

Rent of premises and its arrangement

Perhaps the most difficult issue in any business is choosing premises and renting a building. In the center it is expensive, but there is a lot of traffic, and in the residential area it is accessible, but initially the attendance is limited. In this matter, you need to focus on your clientele.

Hall selection

If you are targeting office workers, then it is preferable for them to have a hall in the center, in the same place where they work. This way, you can negotiate with companies in the future to provide discounted memberships to all their employees. This is a large-scale business, so saving on rent is inappropriate in this case.

On the other hand, if you are targeting semi-professional athletes, the so-called “jocks”, who strive to keep themselves in shape and create something like a community, then for such an audience you can rent a basement in a residential area. In this case, the start-up costs will be much lower, but the renovation and arrangement of the hall depend on the initial condition of the room. Usually in basement rooms it is more difficult to install showers, ventilation and sewerage, but if this is already provided, then rent will be very cheap.

The minimum area for even the smallest gym is 100 square meters. m.

If you are targeting people who are losing weight and simply active people, choose a premises in the central part of the city, but with convenient access. For example, on a minimally accessible street next to the main one. The building should inspire confidence from the threshold, since it is important for girls to study in prestigious gyms. Semi-basement clubs are not for them, as is the prospect of going to the very center through traffic jams.

When choosing a room, pay attention to the ceilings. Their height should be at least 3.5 meters, because it is difficult to ensure clean air flows otherwise. The issue cannot be resolved through ventilation alone - it will either be stuffy or drafty.

The rule of ceilings does not work only with basements, but there the ceilings are not heated by the sun, and ventilation circulates air more intensively, all other things being equal. The gym must have a shower and toilet. Without them, the gym will not be in demand. If the building is suitable in all respects, but it is impossible to equip showers in it, abandon the idea and look further for options.

Repair

Even if you rent a room where a gym was previously located, the floors need to be re-laid. They should be warm, soft and non-conductive. Ideally it should be like this:

  1. On the monolith there is PVC moisture insulation;
  2. Expanded clay backfill;
  3. Chipboard layer;
  4. Foam plastic;
  5. Decorative processing.

You also need to consider that there should be mats in places where strength training equipment is used.

The repair must be supervised by the chief utility engineer and his team. This will help in the future to resolve the issue of reclassification if, for example, you are renting the basement of a residential multi-storey building.

As for decorative repairs and design, here it is also better to use the services of a professional, since the hall should aesthetically attract the attention of clients. Consider partitions, changing rooms, office furniture at the entrance.

Equipment and simulators

Regardless of who the gym is aimed at, the room should have:

  • cardio equipment;
  • strength training equipment;
  • fitness mats;
  • bicycles;
  • Treadmills;
  • fitballs;
  • racks, benches and bars;
  • steppes;
  • dumbbells;
  • hoops;
  • jump ropes

If you are planning to open a general gym and you have competitors, go to them and see what is in demand. This is necessary to make a minimum of mistakes at the equipment procurement stage.

Never buy cheap equipment. This usually involves rapid breakdown and even injury to trainees.

To figure out how many exercise machines you will need for your chosen gym, count 15-16 exercise machines for every 100 square meters. m. That is, if the area of ​​your hall is 100 sq. m. m., then 15 exercise machines are all you need. There is no need to purchase more equipment, because you always need to take into account the distance between the machines and the general entrance space.

Setting up a home gym will allow you to devote sufficient time to health activities, keeping your body in excellent shape, without leaving home. A well-equipped room will help ensure the possibility of regular training. The beautiful design of the private gym creates a comfortable atmosphere for exercising.

Constant physical activity and sports exercises are the key to good health, well-being, and help maintain the beauty of the body. Numerous fitness clubs and health centers today provide the opportunity for effective exercise. However, the dynamism of modern life does not always leave time for regular visits.

Proper finishing of the room - a practical interior for a home gym

When arranging a home gym, close attention should be paid to the choice of finishing materials. To decorate walls, it is important to use coatings that have vapor-permeable properties: colored plaster, paper wallpaper. A good solution is natural cork panels.

Floor finishing is of great importance. Materials must have a high level of strength, soundproofing qualities, and practicality. The best option would be to perform a screed. Carpet and cork coverings laid on a backing are used as the top layer. The presented solution will ensure sufficient softness of the floor, preventing the risk of injury, and low noise level.

Designing the interiors of sports halls

, it is necessary to create an atmosphere that carries a cheerful, positive mood. Competent color design will help you achieve your goal. Light background shades will bring shades of lightness to the atmosphere, rich rich inserts: laconic bright red spots, green ornaments, yellow patterns will give the room a cheerful, cheerful character. Catchy prints, shelves with cups, and magnetic boards with a training schedule can serve as a good decorative solution.

A competent choice of exercise equipment, furniture arrangement - an exclusive interior of a home gym

The core of a home gym's furnishings is exercise equipment. Modern manufacturers offer two types of exercise equipment: cardio, designed to maintain good athletic shape and shape the figure, and strength, which helps build muscle mass. The first category includes staplers, orbitracks, treadmills, and abdominal benches. The second combines dumbbells, barbells, power racks, and squat racks. There are other models of equipment from both groups.

There are no strict requirements for the number or color of exercise equipment. The fundamental selection criteria are the taste preferences of the owners and the stylistic design of the room. Models in black, gray tones with chrome details will help complement the interior of your home gym

high tech. Any bright colors are appropriate for the avant-garde.

In the spacious room it is possible to equip an additional play area: tennis, basketball, billiards. A stylish bar counter will help delimit the room.

To create a comfortable home gym environment, it is important to pay close attention to the selection and arrangement of furniture. Mandatory elements of the interior are comfortable, reliable racks designed for storing balls, jump ropes, weights, and other equipment, a special rack for dumbbells, a cabinet with towels, hangers, and a small refrigerator for drinks.

A home workout room often serves as an additional function of a club, where you can have a good time with friends. A soft sofa, a couple of armchairs, stylish coffee tables are a good solution for arranging a relaxation area.

Modern media will help complement the decor: TV, stereo system, DVD player. The presented equipment will allow you to combine training with watching your favorite program, watch video training lessons and provide a pleasant atmosphere of a friendly meeting.

the site will help every visitor. Experienced designers presented exclusive options that suit different taste preferences. Those wishing to create a full-fledged wellness area should pay attention to

    The fashion for a healthy lifestyle has led to the opening of many gyms in both large and small cities of the country. Therefore, if you are entering the market just now and want to succeed, you need to think not only about equipping your establishment with the necessary equipment.

    In addition, it is very important to competently develop the interior design of the gym so that every workout turns into a real pleasure for the visitor.

    A properly equipped room helps the client tune in to perform certain exercises, allows him to concentrate on his goals and speed up their achievement.

    Therefore, we can recommend ordering gym decoration and design from specialists who will take into account all the specific features of such establishments, make them comfortable and aesthetically pleasing, and offer several options for the future project.

Layout order

The most affordable option is to organize a gym in a private home. Firstly, this will not require spending money on increasing noise insulation and sound insulation, because the neighbors live far away and will not complain about extraneous sounds. Secondly, if there is no room of the required size, it is possible to add one, because a private house allows for redevelopment at the discretion of the owner. This allows you to change the area, number of extensions and floors. You can provide a room with exercise equipment, a swimming pool, and a bathhouse nearby. This will turn home sports hobbies into a daily habit.

Layout of a gym in an apartment in an apartment building will require significant financial losses. After all, in addition to the purchase of exercise equipment, you will need to take into account the purchase of building materials for repurposing the room. Therefore, a home gym can only be planned with a large area. Otherwise, you will have to make do with compact sports equipment: a corner with a wall bars, dumbbells, a step platform, a jump rope, a fitball, a mat.

Determining the goal of training

To understand what equipment you will need to buy for home sports activities, it is worth determining for what purpose they will be carried out.

A gym in the house will provide the necessary energy consumption for weight loss. To do this, the emphasis is on cardio training, which helps burn several hundred calories in one hour. They require durable equipment and a large area of ​​space. More often the emphasis is on running, exercise bikes, active types of dancing and step aerobics.

A home gym can be used to gain muscle mass. In this case, the emphasis is on performing exercises with heavy weights. In order for the body to develop proportionally, it is also necessary to take into account the participation of all muscle groups, that is, to ensure a proportional load on all parts. To do this, purchase a specialized bench, a set of dumbbells with different weights, a bar with a set of weights, and a leg trainer.

More advanced athletes use a barbell, a complex setup for the back and arms. A home gym can also be used to maintain muscle tone. This option is suitable for older people and those who have musculoskeletal disorders. In this case, exercises are practiced on gentle models of exercise machines that imitate the usual dynamics of joints and muscles without overload. An elliptical, an upright exercise bike, and a full-size treadmill will do the job.

Selection of simulators

You can determine which exercise equipment you will need to buy for your home gym based on two parameters: the size of the room and the purpose of the exercise. However, there is also a unified inventory that is suitable for everyone.

An elliptical trainer will help increase endurance, strengthen the cardiovascular system, and eliminate excess calories. It is suitable for any person, regardless of the degree of physical fitness and age. Exercises on the elliptical at home will allow you to lose weight and save time, since they can be combined with watching your favorite movie or TV series.

A treadmill is also one of the exercise machines that is needed for cardio exercise. Running is considered a universal exercise for starting a workout - it warms up all muscle groups and increases blood circulation. However, it is contraindicated for people with weak joints or heart problems.

The wall bars are necessary for people who take a comprehensive approach to purchasing equipment for home training. This equipment is suitable for both children and adults. Based on the installation, you can create a strength complex, and also use it as an auxiliary stretching machine.

A set of dumbbells will also be a versatile investment in your home's gym room. Thanks to the ability to independently determine the permissible load, you can quickly tone your muscles or create relief.

A jump rope is an equipment that is suitable for home training for children and adults. Moderate cardio exercise and the need to maintain a sense of rhythm will help warm up the muscles before strength training. And an activity completed with its help normalizes breathing.

A mat is another piece of equipment that every home gym needs to have. It is useful for stretching, as well as if it is necessary to increase shock absorption.

Each exercise machine must be safe for health, so when purchasing, pay attention to the quality of the assembly and fastenings. If possible, try out the device and evaluate the adjustment mechanisms. The treadmill should provide a comfortable body position for running, and the ellipse should allow the height of the pedals and their elevation to be adjusted. In addition, it is worth choosing more well-known manufacturing companies for your home gym, as this guarantees experience and several years of operation without breakdowns.

Zoning the space

Almost anyone can assemble a gym at home with their own hands. To do this, you need to make a preliminary layout of your home gym and determine zones for each type of exercise equipment.

Near the outlets, you need to allocate a place for training on equipment that requires power. These can be treadmills, ellipses or steppers. An electrical outlet is also needed for the TV, which can be hung on the wall for the convenience of home workouts. This will make it possible to use the gadget to watch motivational videos, video tutorials or your favorite TV series. Strength training equipment should be placed at least half a meter away from such areas to prevent accidental injury or electric shock.

Strength training or cardio equipment should not be placed near the ventilation openings, as this will increase the risk of cold muscles. It's best to use this space for stretching or yoga.

In the gym at home, you also need to organize a relaxation area with a bench or sofa, shelves for towels and clean water in bottles or shakers.

Preparing the premises

A home gym should be well ventilated, have a well-thought-out power supply circuit, and increased noise insulation and vibration absorption. In addition, only natural materials that can absorb moisture should be used as wall and floor coverings. The problem of poor ventilation will be solved by installing an air conditioner with a dehumidifying function or a regular fan directed at an open window. Sockets should only be moved as a last resort when a large number of extension cords creates a risk of falling or becoming tangled.

But the flooring should be selected in advance, taking into account the upcoming loads. For yoga classes, thick carpet is better; for strength training at home, rubberized tiles are better. You can cover the surface with thick linoleum with a backing, but under particularly heavy exercise equipment you should still put an additional layer of a rubber mat.

A mini gym at home should also be pleasant to visit, so its design should also be thought out in advance. You should not choose a bright design, as it will quickly get boring. It is better to choose a calm color scheme. Men are more susceptible to cool tones, while women's performance, on the contrary, is activated by peach and beige tones. In your home room, you can hang a mirror or design an entire mirrored wall. This will help you perform the exercises correctly. However, if it is distracting or annoying, you can abandon the idea.

Home gym: main design features

Today, more and more often, a gym is equipped in private homes and even in city apartments. The design of such a room will be very different from structures located in separate buildings.

The main requirements that must be taken into account are as follows:

Based on the above requirements, you can roughly imagine what the gym will look like.

So that you can immediately start developing a design after reading this article, we will provide a number of useful recommendations for the design of each of the elements of the room.

Flooring

Sound insulation, the load on the musculoskeletal system, and the safety of training depend on it.

It is better to immediately remove any worn covering, clean the floor down to the concrete and start all over again.

First, a floating concrete screed is made, which significantly improves sound insulation. A cork covering or any foamed materials are laid on it to prevent noise from entering the apartment below.

As a finishing material, it is best to use rubber designed specifically for sports facilities.

However, if it is impossible to purchase it, you can get by with lint-free carpet or the same cork.

Such a floor will prevent slipping, will help you exercise for the benefit of your body and without scandals with neighbors due to loud noise.

Are you planning to train with kettlebells, barbells and weight machines? Then you will need to take a number of additional measures to muffle the sounds.

It is best to place sheets of elastic rubber under the carpet or cork, which will cope with this task perfectly.

Wall decoration

Almost any materials can be used for walls. We would like to warn you only against installing tiles or wall panels made of plastic. The thing is that although they have an aesthetic appearance, they will cause constant dampness in the room.

When playing sports, this can negatively affect your health. The best finishing options are wooden lining, plaster or paint, as well as ordinary inexpensive wallpaper.

Better washable.

Difficulties

In addition to the above difficulties with space and its design, decoration plays a key role. Thus, floors must have soundproof properties. Carpeted screeds are best suited for floors. The walls must be vapor permeable. Moisture accumulated in a room intended for sports activities contributes to the appearance of condensation. The ideal option for walls in a sports room is plaster or paper wallpaper. An expensive option is cork panels.
