VIDEO: How to Create a Home Workout Room on a Budget

September 13, 2015 By Michelle Rogers

I’m so excited to show you my favorite room in the house — our new workout room!

When I celebrated my 5th anniversary of starting my healthier lifestyle, which resulted in losing 60 pounds, I decided to give myself a present: a workout room. We converted what was the home office, the “bonus” room above the garage, into an awesome fitness space. My husband and I did all the work ourselves, and on a modest budget.
