Keep an eye on those kiddos while getting in your exercise time by remodeling your home gym to add a playroom. Discuss with your contractor whether having a clear viewing area from the workout space or creating an open-style multipurpose area is best for your family’s needs. Think about which would be easier not only to watch the kids, but also to keep smaller children from accessing dangerous equipment.

Extra Exercise Space For Kids Too

Since you’ll be working out anyhow, why not add some good exercise options to your child’s attached playroom?

After all, busy kids are happy kids and they will only be busy if they like what they see in the space. So be sure to tell the contractor all of your children’s desires and your comfort and safety concerns upfront.

Convenience All-Around

Once you have a fresh new custom playroom added to your home gym, things will be so much more convenient.
