5 Best Home Gym Colors
Posted on April 30, 2020
If you’re lucky enough to have a gym in your home, you might be lacking some of the ambiances of the gym locations. A lot of motivation is gleaned from the decor and colors you’re surrounded with. Bring the colors home to help you on your treadmill or weight rack. Here are the 5 best home gym colors.
Red Motivates
Vibrant red is rarely used in homes and for good reason. The color can cause frenzy and excitement. However, these are helpful feelings in a gym. Use the color to enhance your energy levels while you’re doing a workout. Keep in mind that this color is best for lifting or cardio. Going with all red might still be overwhelming, so keep this color to a chair rail or accent wall. Use a warm red to work well with the blacks and silvers that are often included in workout equipment.
Green Relaxes
If your workout involves zen-like yoga, try a green room to calm your chi. Green and white combined bring you a natural and forest-like feeling to your room. Rather than brights, go natural with sage and cream. Add some tall mirrors around the room to keep your body in position. Bring your yoga mat to this grounding room to practice your downward dog and warrior 3.
Neon Blue Energizes
While light blues are often opted for in spas and retreats, go neon to stimulate your workout. It’s true that the 80s workout videos were iconic – and for a reason – neon blue, pink and green encourage the best cardio. A bright blue burst on your accent wall in the room will give you just the get up and go you need for real results.
Orange Amps You Up
There are entire gyms based around the color orange. The hue lends itself to weight lifting and high-intensity interval training. Using orange brings in the motivation of redan optimism of yellow. The combination is a winning feeling of positive reinforcement to keep you coming back. Going with a paler orange will still bring you all the benefits of the color without overwhelming your eyes. For the truly bold, go bright!
White for Clean
For a more versatile or minimalist gym, go with a warm white on your walls. As an added interactive option, paint one wall in whiteboard or chalkboard to keep track of your stats. Never forget your bench weight again- just write it on the wall. Add some interlocking foam mats, free weights, and a recumbent bike and you’re ready for a full-body workout.
