The Ultimate Wellness Retreat: Creating Home Gyms and Saunas with Belgravia Homes

In today’s fast-paced world, having a dedicated wellness area at home isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity. From private gyms to serene saunas, these spaces offer an escape from the stresses of daily life while promoting physical and mental well-being. At Belgravia Homes, creating bespoke wellness areas is an art form, blending functionality and luxury to transform homes into personal sanctuaries.

“A wellness area is an investment in your health and happiness,” says Jordan Pascal, President of Belgravia Homes. “It’s about creating a space that supports your lifestyle while enhancing your quality of life.”

Why Wellness Areas Matter

Home gyms and saunas are no longer confined to sprawling estates—they’ve become a cornerstone of modern luxury living. Beyond the convenience of exercising at home, these spaces provide a refuge where homeowners can recharge and reconnect with themselves.

“Designing a wellness area is about more than just equipment,” explains Ashley Wilson, Creative Director. “It’s about creating an environment that inspires relaxation and rejuvenation.”

The Benefits of a Wellness Area

Investing in a home gym or sauna offers a host of benefits for both the body and mind:

Convenience: Skip the commute and crowded gyms. A home gym allows for workouts on your schedule.
Privacy: Exercise and unwind in the comfort of your own space, free from distractions.
Customization: Tailor the space to your specific needs, from cardio and strength training to yoga and meditation.
Mental Well-Being: Saunas promote relaxation, reduce stress, and improve sleep, while workouts boost endorphins and energy levels.
Added Home Value: A well-designed wellness area enhances your home’s appeal and market value.

“Having a wellness area at home turns self-care into a daily habit,” Pascal notes. “It’s a gift you give yourself.”

Designing the Perfect Home Gym

A home gym should be more than a place to exercise—it should be a space that motivates and energizes. Belgravia Homes creates custom gyms that reflect each client’s fitness goals and personal style.

Key features of a luxury home gym include:

Smart Equipment: Integrate the latest high-tech machines, such as interactive treadmills, Peloton bikes, and water rowers.
Functional Zones: Separate areas for cardio, strength training, and stretching ensure a versatile workout experience.
Custom Flooring: Durable, cushioned flooring designed for comfort and impact absorption.
Mirrors and Lighting: Strategically placed mirrors enhance the sense of space, while adjustable lighting sets the right mood for your workout.
Turf and Specialty Areas: For those who love functional fitness, turf strips and wall-mounted systems bring a gym-quality experience home.

“Our goal is to create a space that feels as inspiring as it is practical,” says Wilson. “It should make you want to show up every day.”

The Serenity of Home Saunas

Saunas have long been associated with relaxation and wellness, and bringing one into your home offers unparalleled benefits. Belgravia Homes designs custom saunas that blend seamlessly into the architecture while providing a spa-like atmosphere.

Benefits of a home sauna include:

Detoxification: Saunas help flush out toxins, leaving you feeling refreshed and revitalized.
Improved Circulation: The heat promotes better blood flow, aiding recovery after workouts.
Stress Relief: The soothing warmth reduces cortisol levels and fosters relaxation.
Immune Support: Regular sauna use boosts immunity by increasing white blood cell production.

Belgravia Homes customizes every sauna with features like:

Premium Woods: Cedar and aspen provide durability and a calming aesthetic.
Integrated Lighting: Soft, ambient lighting enhances the relaxing atmosphere.
Built-In Speakers: Bluetooth-enabled systems allow you to listen to soothing music or guided meditations.
Seamless Access: Combine the sauna with a nearby shower or spa area for a holistic wellness experience.

“A sauna is more than just a luxury—it’s a pathway to better health,” Pascal explains. “It’s a space where you can truly unwind.”

Blending Design and Functionality

What sets Belgravia Homes apart is their ability to integrate wellness areas seamlessly into the home’s design. These spaces don’t just function well—they look and feel luxurious, creating an atmosphere that enhances the overall aesthetic of the home.

“We approach wellness areas like any other room in the house,” says Wilson. “They should reflect the same level of detail and personalization.”

Recent projects include:

A spa-inspired wellness area at the Lakeview Estate, complete with a cedar sauna overlooking serene lake views.
