Get training equipment in the basement (new building)?

Hello!

I am currently planning my new house and recently signed the notarized contract for the land. At the moment, I am comparing several providers to find the right partner for my construction project.

I surf the internet daily to find ideas for my dream house, and one thing is bothering me:

I want to have my own training room in the basement of the house. For this, I would like to have the devices from Gym80 that I know (although somewhat more expensive) (if you don’t know them: these are strength training machines that you can also find at McFit, among others). The disadvantage of these machines, besides the price, is the fact that you can hardly disassemble them (the machines are welded and delivered on pallets).

Now I am wondering how I can get the machines into the new building—if at all? I am planning a terrace at the basement level and plan a double-leaf terrace door; however, I can’t get the machines through the doors in the house. During the shell construction phase, I can’t have the machines lifted in by crane either, since at that time no underfloor heating/screed has been installed yet.

Even though this is a rather unusual problem, does anyone have an idea how I can get my training machines into my basement? Or am I forced to switch to machines that I can disassemble?

Best regards from the Ruhr area!

Either the devices (or their individual parts) must become small enough or the openings in walls (or ceilings) large enough. Beaming of any kind has not yet been invented for this purpose.

Mh... I don't really know what I was hoping for with the question :oops:

Then I will probably have to rearrange the training room so that a terrace door leads to the room...

Hello,

what you could also do is place the devices on a special pedestal and then have the screed poured around it.

This is how it is done, for example, with heating systems.

Our heat pump was also lifted into the basement with a crane through the stairwell and then placed on a sound and vibration decoupled pedestal there. Afterwards, the house was then placed on the basement.

The screed was only applied four weeks later.

Hey,

the idea with the base sounds pretty good! I need to find out how much it costs.

Thanks for the idea! ;)

Compared to the devices, you can neglect the extra charge for a socket ;-)
