Elevate Your Home’s Workout Spaces with AV & Automation
Why commute to a gym or fitness club when you can enjoy luxury recreation at home?
Today, savvy homeowners are taking their home gyms beyond weight racks and yoga mats. What’s changed is the level of integration possible. Instead of disconnected gadgets, it’s now possible to sync audio, video, lighting, climate, and sports simulators into a single, seamless experience.
If you find yourself feeling uninspired in your current gym setup, consider the following upgrades.
Smart Home Gyms: Go Beyond Basic Equipment
Smart home gyms have moved well past the days of a treadmill facing a TV. The best spaces now feature:
- Performance Tracking: Imagine stepping onto your equipment and having your workout data automatically displayed on a high-resolution screen. Many systems integrate with wearables to track metrics in real time.
- Virtual Training: Stream live or on-demand classes, interact with trainers, or even compete with friends—without leaving your home. When class is over, hop right in the shower, no commute home necessary.
- Custom Lighting & Sound: Enjoy bright, energizing lights for morning workouts, or a softer, golden tone for stretching in the evening. Add high-quality, in-wall speakers, and your playlists or podcasts sound clear and detailed wherever you roam.
IDS Automation designs home technology systems that work together. With one touch, lights can adjust, music starts, and your virtual coach appears. Who needs an Equinox membership when you have a custom-designed gym of your own?
Golf Simulators: Practice Like a Pro at Home
For golf enthusiasts, a basement or bonus room can transform into an immersive, year-round practice facility. Modern golf simulators incorporate advanced cameras and sensors to track your swing and ball flight with astonishing accuracy. But the true value comes from the experience around the simulator:
- Immersive AV: Large, crisp displays and surround sound make it feel like you’re actually standing on the 18th at Pebble Beach. When the game is over? Use the projection screen to enjoy a yoga tutorial on YouTube, or watch a show while you stretch.
Networking: Our fast, professionally installed home networks ensure simulation software runs without glitches and multiplayer games connect you to friends around the country. - Lighting & Acoustics: Proper lighting control minimizes shadows and glare, while acoustic treatments keep the sound crisp and the rest of the house quiet.
- Multi-Sports Mode: Expand beyond golf with soccer, baseball, shooting, and more.
We custom-build golf simulators to fit your space, so everything looks and feels comfortable. In large basements, we can accommodate echoes and sound reflections with acoustic treatments. In rooms with windows, we make it easy to adjust ambient light with motorized shades, activated with a tap on the wall.
