Some attics have more uninterrupted space than any other area of the house. Rather than waste the space on boxes and dust, some homeowners have enjoyed making the room into a home gym.

There are a lot of advantages to having a home gym and attic space is often the perfect out of the way location for equipment. Here are a few examples of homes that have home gyms in the attic space.
