Setting up a Home Gym with Mirrors

If you’re one of the many people who have grown tired of commuting to the local gym and back, consider the convenience of installing a home gym. Admittedly, not everyone has the space, and unless you are lucky enough to have a vacant basement or garage, you may have to use some imagination to clear a spot for your home gym. The benefits are, however, worth the effort.

Once you have found an area, you need a mirror. Identify the best wall for your home gym mirror installation. Carefully consider the mirror placement since the installation is semi-permanent. Large mirror walls are attached with a powerful adhesive called mirror mastic. If the mirror is installed above the floor, as many are, there will also be a J-channel or L-bar screwed into the wall to hold its weight in place.

Gym or dance studio mirrors are a vital part of any home exercise regime. They enable you to see your body movements, vital for any gym. Incorrect dancing or exercise movements can lead to injury. Watching your body in motion will also help you to build self-confidence and drive progress. 

 

 

Finding the Best Place for Your Home Gym Mirror

People are often tempted to place home gym mirrors across from the window. Still, this isn’t the best place, as you may have to contend with glare. The best spot for the mirror wall is generally perpendicular to the window.

A relatively smooth wall is ideal, but a professional glass company can deal with wall bulges by using shims behind the mirror. Glass installers can customize any gym or dance studio mirror to fit structural issues. They will, for example, make mirrors that fit around your light switches and electrical output devices.

It isn’t necessary to install a full floor-to-ceiling home gym mirror. You could reduce the budget by having a mirror installed a foot or so above the floor may save on the number of cutouts required for electrical outlets. Similarly, a mirror can end some way below the ceiling.

Finishing Your Home Gym Mirror

Your home gym mirror should reflect your style, so personalize it with a frame. Alternatively, a beveled edge is a very popular no-nonsense option. Whatever you decide your mirror should fit the style of your home.
