A lovely new home gym in Essex
With the trend for more and more people to create their own home gym at home, we wanted to share a recent transformation of this garage space in Essex.
This single garage was completed in four days with our FlexiPanel white wall panel on all walls, a mirror on one wall, floor tiles and a good range of storage accessories for bikes, golf clubs and shelving.

We are incredibly excited to share photos of our recent installation for Durham and England Cricketer Mark Wood.
It is great to see how much of a transformation the panel, floor tiles and storage accessories have made to the space. And we can’t wait to see more photos when Mark is back from his current England Tour.

Some of the best of 2020
Well what a year 2020 turned out to be.
We were lucky enough to have the support of our wonderful customers during this difficult year. We have had fantastic fitting teams who we quite literally could not have completed all of the installations without. So thank you to all of them for their continued support during 2020.
Here are just some of the fantastic installations we’ve completed and we wanted to share them with you to wish you a healthy and happy New Year!

Garageflex featured in The Times “Top 10 health trends for 2021”
We were absolutely delighted to be featured in yesterday’s article in The Times. The article looks at health trends predicted to be big in 2021 and the transforming of a garage into a gym was included.
Here’s a snapshot of the section on garage gyms, but to see the full article click here.

Covid-19 Update: 5th January 2021 – We are Open.
The latest Government advice has come as disappointing news to us all but I can confirm that our installation teams are carrying on with the business of fitting out garages as scheduled.
Our installers fall under the category of workers who cannot work from home and so we are able to continue working following all Covid guidelines as we have for the last 9 months.
Foremost in our mind is the wellbeing of customers, their families and our staff so we do this with the approval of our customers. If any are shielding or want to postpone the installation then we can arrange this with due notice.
Our stocks are good today and so our installers will travel to customers’ homes in our vans, will wear masks on arrival and will work within the garage space. They will only ask to enter customers’ houses if they are allowed to use the toilet facilities.
To re-assure our customers, our fitters will be restricted to to our van and the garage, unless there is a convenient toilet available, we would not enter a home. They wear masks where appropriate and have wipes etc. on their vans.
If you have any questions please do let us know.
Happy Christmas from all of us at Garageflex

In the meantime, we are taking a well earned break and would like to wish you a very Happy Christmas.
Top 5 fitness tips for Christmas & New Year
Christmas is always a time when we over-indulge. So we asked our Gym Consultant, Barry Grinham of Prime Energy his top 5 tips for keeping the exercise going and how to still be healthy at Christmas.
We know that new tiers and regulations may impact what you can and can’t do but we hope these tips might inspire you to have a go.
And this is what Barry told us!
- Go out and walk the dog …even if you don’t have a dog. Walking , especially a brisk one is great not only for the body, but also your head & soul too.
- Don’t purchase bigger plates for the Christmas Day lunch!! Instead, fill your plate with a “rainbow” of veggies. Try a nut or herb stuffing rather than the fatty sausage meat & remove the skin from your turkey which contains masses of fat that will have to be worked off!
- Depending on your tier and what you are allowed to do under new regulations, try to find a supportive friend or relative who will encourage you to do some exercise over the festive season. Supporting each other will be more beneficial, rewarding and fun.
- Try to continue attending classes over the festive season (if you are allowed to), or find a class online. Otherwise get on your bike, go for a swim, use nature’s gym – the great outdoors. With this in mind for the past 30 years I’ve held a “Pulse Raiser “ Bootcamp on Christmas morning. It is always well attending with a little “fizz” at the end. A mega way to start the big day!!
- A good, restful nights sleep is so important. Try to get 6-8 hours a night.
We hope that this has inspired you to try at least one of these tips, but the main thing this Christmas is to stay safe. We must all work together and although it might not be the Christmas you had planned, we do hope you’ll make the most of this time of year. Stay safe and Happy Christmas from all of us at Garageflex.
