The new year ushers in a fresh start and new goals, and, for many people, the urge to get moving. It’s no surprise gyms are flooded with new members at the beginning of the year, which can make for a crowded workout experience. When the movement mood strikes, there’s a lot to be said for the luxury of working out in the privacy of your own home. The beautiful gyms and high-tech equipment in these six stunning properties will inspire anyone to start the new year in motion.
Charles Condominium, New York, New York
New York, New York | Kristi Ambrosetti, Sotheby’s International Realty – East Side Manhattan Brokerage
Space is the ultimate luxury in Manhattan, and this 10th floor, 3,150-square-foot condo with four bedrooms, four bathrooms, and panoramic skyline views has it in spades.

Walden House, Edwards, Colorado
Edwards, Colorado | Tye Stockton, LIV Sotheby’s International Realty
Inspired by Henry David Thoreau’s “Walden”, this seven-bedroom, nine-bathroom home pays homage to the benefits of living in nature. Though it’s no cabin in the woods—the ranch-style masterpiece features locally-sourced copper shingles and Anasazi silver stone—the pond that sits off the back porch offers opportunity for activity, from fishing to ice skating. And for more physical activity, there’s a separate cabana gym encased in glass for added serenity. Guests can also get in their exercise by skiing—both Beaver Creek and Vail Villages are nearby for peak powder.
Palm Island Estate, Miami Beach, Florida
Miami Beach, Florida | Albert Justo & Mirce Curkoski, ONE Sotheby’s International Realty

The 14,000-square-foot estate’s detached fitness room is complete with floor-to-ceiling windows that offer views of lush greenery and the surrounding waterfront, as well as the beautiful outdoor pool.
