Hi - I don't have an actual sunroom, but live in a mountain cabin w/tons of walls of windows. It is so motivating to look out at all the beauty & feel the sun (on sunny days of course) when can't get outside. Sunroom/exercise room sounds perfect to me.

My sunroom is our workout room. I love it. I have a ceiling fan in there too so that helps too if it starts to get warm. I have baseboard heating in there as well for the winter months. Works as a great workout room because the floor is cement so we were able to put the smith machine in there and not worry about damaging the floor if it were carpeted, hardwood, etc. I have recently added a entertainment center in there with the TV so I do ALL my workouts in there now as before I just used the sunroom for storing some of the equipment so there is no moving weights in and out of rooms. Now if only I can fit more stuff in there! What is a girl to do? LOL!

Melody - Your cabin view sounds wonderful. I bet it is really beautiful in the spring and fall.
Charlotte - Thanks for sharing. Your workout room is what I want to achieve. I want a year round sunroom with heating and air conditioning. The best part is I would now be able to buy a squat machine like I've been wanting for a couple years now and also a new treadmill. DH would not let me buy a new treadmill because it would have to be moved up our stairs and our other treadmill was a pain in the butt to get up their. The old one would also need to be moved out.

We're near the finishing stages of having ours built, but my contractor advised against it because of the humidity. Since we began this project so long ago, I can't remember if he advised against putting treadmill out there because of the windows or if it's because I initially considered screening the room instead of enclosing it with glass. However, I live in South Florida, and humidity is an issue here.
Good luck with your addition. I hope your contractors are faster than mine.
