How to turn an empty room into a home gym?

We have an empty parlor room, and want to turn it into a home gym, with a treadmill, weight lifting set.. Ect. How should we do this? It may be turned into an office in a couple years, so we cant do anything permanent! It has hardwood floors- so would we have to get a carpet, or is the wood floor fine? Also we have a tv in there- for yoga/ exercise videos maybe? Any decorating ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!(:

Is wood floor fine for what? Yoga? For yoga, yes that is where you normally do yoga, For an office? Yep no prob. For a gym? Yes carpet for a gym is a worse idea…. Well it seems you kinda have it mostly in your hands.. I dont really know what to say can you give us some pics ?:)

Empty the garage of all clutter. Determine how much space you can devote to your home gym. Keep in mind even a portion of the garage will work when creating a home gym.

Lay down carpet padding and carpet down. Carpet is needed in your home gym to provide a shock absorbent surface to exercise on. Bring in a few exercise mats to add extra cushion for yoga and other floor exercises.

Get a carpet, a strong one to cover the hardwood floors for protection against indentation and scratches before moving in the heavy gym equipments. And the TV must be hung on the wall in a corner. Put some fitness and health guide posters on the wall. If you have windows, open them to let the air in.
