What are Carolyn Scott's signature techniques for creating a home gym?

Plan during the home search: Think about gym space (garage, basement, spare room, even a corner) based on the equipment and style of training you want.

Use color psychology: Bright colors for energy, muted/monochrome for a calm, elegant feel.

Maximize small spaces: Mirrors to make rooms feel larger and check form, and smart storage (racks, pegboards, baskets) tailored to your gear.

Keep it minimal and movable: Favor equipment and decor that are not bolted down to protect resale value and make moving easier.

Build motivation into the room: Wall quotes, athlete photos, and, if helpful, a TV for workout videos and cardio distraction.
