Training room setup

[mtgoat]

I have an outside room at my house that i want to convert into an area for indoor training (yes permission has been granted from the Mrs). So this is a different kind of build. What would you do if you had a dedicated room? If you already have one pictures would be cool to see. But I am looking for ideas/thoughts. My list to start:

 

Rubber flooring (NEED TO FIND)

Gaming pc for Zwift (NEED TO FIND/BUILD)

All current gear

Good fan.

 

I will post pictures of the room as I go.

Mirrors everywhere....

Get rubber flooring from lock floors. did my whole garage (3 x 6 m ) with 500x 500 x 5mm tiles for 3500 delivery from JHB to CPT included. (2 years ago)

Don't forget to get a surround sound system - you need some pumping music to keep you motivated!

Fans will have to do at this time. Smart trainer before aircon, room before smart trainer

mmm i don't think you need a gaming PC for zwift, You can make it work on something WAYYYY cheaper, 

 

• OS: Windows 7 x64 bit, OSX 10.8
• Processor: Intel Core 2 Duo
• Memory: 4GB
• Graphics: 1GB dedicated GPU, or embedded Intel HD 4000/AMD R5 
• Hard Drive: 4GB of free space

 

This is the minimum requirements for Zwift, Maybe looking at R3k so spend the rest of the cash on a nic BEEEEG TV and a super sound system to gooi Metalica when slamming that interval

 

and a then with the change you can afford a BKOOL indoor trainer

Might get a few ideas here: https://community.bikehub.co.za/topic/160110-show-us-your-winter-pain-cave/?hl=pain%20cave

you can run zwift from your phone / tablet.

[JacBrand]

I would insulate the walls and ceiling properly as well (something like Isoboard).

You also need a zink / prepbowl

If you must have rubber floors - fine ones you can clean easily with a mop - those bumps are terrible to clean - always looks half clean.... perhaps a smooth vinyl floor or tile would be  better.

 

And you need a decent sound setup... and good wifi.... perhaps more than 1 fan as well.

Best of luck! I'm planning something identical in 2018, so will be following with supreme interest!
