Reaching Fitness Goals Within Your Own Four Walls

According to a recent survey by Statista, 52% of Americans make a New Year’s resolution that involves exercising more. But, it can be challenging to start any new routine, especially one focused on fitness. Designating a space to work out in your home can be a great way to help you achieve your goals and stay active. On that note, here are five luxury listings with dedicated space for getting in shape in 2023.

117 Tuttle Avenue, Clarendon Hills – $2,799,000

This newer-construction, five-bedroom, 8,600 square-foot home has a long list of luxury amenities, but its lower level is a fully outfitted recreational retreat. The 23’9”x17’7” exercise room offers ample space for equipment, yoga, stretching and free weights. Plus, it’s attached to a full bathroom for easy access to a post-workout shower. And once you’ve completed your exercise for the day, you can retreat to the home theatre or play ping pong in the game room.

118 E. Erie Street #26A, Chicago – $1,760,000

Your fitness goals are a convenient elevator ride away in this full-service luxury condominium building, which features the legendary service of the Ritz-Carlton without a hotel attached – the only property of its kind. This exquisite residence offers sweeping views and impeccable finishes. Better yet, the two-bedroom condo has access to an array of five-star amenities, including a fully outfitted exercise room and – for post-workout recovery – a spa with massage room. The building’s concierge desk will arrange personal training sessions and spa appointments.

2028 N. Fremont Street, Chicago – $5,350,000

A spectacular Lincoln Park mansion, this residence is a rare opportunity on a double city lot. The property includes a large side yard that is covered with turf, allowing for year-round outdoor exercise. Whether a HIIT workout, jumping rope, or running sprints, this space is perfect for all kinds of training. It’s even large enough to dribble a soccer ball through cones or toss a football. The four-level, 6,090-square-foot home also has plenty of space for indoor fitness activities. The lower-level recreation room measures 31’x19’, while a third floor sitting room is the perfect space to set up a Peloton studio.

1030 Sheridan Road, Evanston – $2,350,000

Architecturally stunning, this 100-year-old Evanston home has been completely renovated to incorporate all the amenities of today’s most luxurious homes. It includes an 11’1”x 17’6” exercise room on the lower level that is large enough for cardio equipment and free weights. Following your work out, whip up a green smoothie at the adjacent full bar. Additionally, with its location along Sheridan Road’s popular bike route and only two blocks from Lake Michigan, there are plenty of opportunities to get outdoors to enjoy a ride or swim. This 6,100-square-foot residence may just have you training for your first triathlon!

4523 Linscott Avenue, Downers Grove – $1,499,000

This home’s exercise room will have you reaching all your fitness goals this year, and you’ll also be shaving strokes off your golf game with a lower-level recreation space that is large enough for a putting green or golf simulator. With four bedrooms, three full baths and two half baths, this newer-construction residence is a fantastic find in a coveted Chicago suburb. No detail is overlooked with custom built-in cabinets throughout, detailed millwork, and a spacious chef’s kitchen with high-end appliances. In addition to the 11’ x 13’ exercise room, the lower level has a full bar and seating area with fireplace.

Of course, you don’t need a large home – or even a dedicated room – to follow through on your fitness resolutions. These days, an inspiring coach or personal trainer is accessible through any one of dozens of exercise apps. Simply download one, stream it to your bedroom or living room TV, and get moving!
