Garden Gyms With Saunas, Steam Rooms, Outdoor Showers, Hot Tubs & More

Creating a garden gym with features like a sauna, steam room, outdoor shower, or hot tub requires a high level of customisation. To achieve this, you'll want to work with a company that offers bespoke design services. These experienced designers will collaborate with you to bring your vision to life, ensuring the building meets the technical and structural requirements for these luxurious additions.

In some sauna projects, clients have opted for standalone sauna pods placed within the gym space. In others, the sauna has been fully integrated into the building’s design, with fireproofing, moisture control, and ventilation seamlessly incorporated. Steam rooms also require careful planning to manage humidity and protect the building’s structure.

Hot tubs and pools introduce additional considerations, particularly the weight of the water. An experienced designer is essential to calculate the foundation requirements to safely support these features. One of the projects featured even includes a swimming pool with a counter-current system, allowing the client to swim against a moving flow of water for continuous exercise.

These projects showcase what’s possible when a client’s vision is combined with the expertise of an experienced designer. Articles are listed most recently published first, so keep scrolling to explore all the possibilities.
