Mansions With Muscle: 6 Over-the-Top Home Gyms
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Now that we're well into 2016, there are still a few high-end homes to help fulfill those New Year's resolutions. Namely, mansions with fitness facilities on their well-manicured grounds. While these properties are pricey, you can realize a modicum of savings when you cancel your fitness club membership. Plus, there's no more excuses when the gym is only steps away. Right?
Increasingly, a well-appointed home gym has become a high-end perk that gets luxury buyers all hot and sweaty.
"Home gyms are definitely in demand," says Joel Goodrich, a luxury real estate specialist with Coldwell Banker Previews International. "Along with media rooms and wine tasting rooms, they are the kind of amenity that distinguishes the ultraluxury from luxury properties."
