How to Choose Garage Gym Colors

When repurposing any space, a fresh coat of paint will do wonders in refreshing the room to look brand new. However, it is especially needed in a garage that often collects dust and grime – not ideal when working out. When choosing your color palette for the garage home gym, consider what kind of workouts you will be doing.

• Gray paint is the perfect choice for those who want to work out without distractions from a home gym. A simple cool gray with a hint of blue helps you focus on your workout while still being an inviting and attractive alternative to white. Gray also has a beach-inspired vibe that is perfect for a yoga studio or luxury spa space outfitted with a massage table.

• Blue is thought to be calming and good for increasing concentration – ideal for a weightlifting room, while red encourages intensity and aggression – perfect for high-intensity workouts and boxing. 

• Green is ideal for bringing the outdoors inside, which can help your mood if your garage gym has limited natural light. 

• Yellow- colors in this category evoke energy and excitement. This more relaxed yellow-green tone skirts the boundary of energy and calm. It's perfect if you mix your gym days with some days devoted to running or cycling, then switch gears to yoga or pilates. Turn up the energy in this hue by brightly lighting up the room or throwing open all the curtains and raising the blinds. This room color is also perfect for a cool down.

Whichever color you choose, make sure it inspires you to get in the zone every time you step foot into your home gym.
