Shipping Container Gym

In recent years, shipping container gyms have become a cost-effective and flexible alternative to traditional fitness spaces. Available in 20ft and 40ft sizes, common layouts include open-side designs, foldable walls for outdoor training, and built-in storage for weights and racks. Some are optimized for CrossFit, HIIT, or strength training, while others feature climate control and solar power for all-weather use.

Why choose a container gym over a traditional gym? Portability allows easy relocation, cost efficiency lowers overhead, and customization ensures tailored layouts with reinforced flooring, ventilation, and integrated equipment. We manufacture brand-new container gyms—stronger, more durable, and built to last longer than repurposed containers. Our designs offer heavy-duty structures, advanced insulation, and weatherproof finishes, making them ideal for personal, commercial, or military use.

CrossFit Container Gym

Designed for high-intensity functional training, this gym features an open interior layout to maximize workout space. Ideal for CrossFit, group training, and outdoor fitness setups, with room for wall-mounted racks and storage.

Fully Enclosed Container Gym

A completely enclosed structure with reinforced walls, insulation, and ventilation, providing a controlled indoor training environment. Suitable for all-weather fitness facilities, with space for climate control, electrical systems, and secure storage.

Open-Side Container Gym

One or both sides of the container open fully, creating a seamless indoor-outdoor training space. This design improves airflow and accessibility, making it ideal for functional training, weightlifting, and group workouts.

External Equipment Container Gym

This design features fixed outdoor-mounted fitness equipment, while the container itself serves as a secure storage or changing area. It is well-suited for military training, public fitness zones, and outdoor workout stations.

Expandable Container Gym

A foldable or extendable design that increases usable space when deployed. This structure is a practical solution for mobile training centers, pop-up fitness events, or adaptable gym setups where flexibility is required.

Container Gym with Skylight

Built with a skylight or transparent roof panels, this gym maximizes natural daylight, reducing energy consumption while maintaining a bright training space. Best for daytime fitness facilities or locations with limited electrical access.

Mobile Container Gym

Designed for easy relocation, this gym is built on a mobile platform for transport between locations. Ideal for traveling fitness services, pop-up gym events, or remote training programs, with reinforced flooring and secure access.

Our container gyms are built for strength, longevity, and efficiency, using high-quality materials and structural reinforcements. Whether for commercial, personal, or military use, we provide customizable, heavy-duty solutions that go beyond standard repurposed containers.

20ft vs. 40ft Shipping Container Gym – Which One is Right for You?

Trying to decide between a 20ft or 40ft shipping container gym? It all comes down to space, budget, and how you plan to use it. Whether you’re setting up a personal gym or a full-scale training facility, here’s how to choose the right size for your needs!

Go for a 20ft Shipping Container Gym?

✅ You need a compact, efficient space – Perfect for personal use or small-group training.
✅ You want an easier setup – Fits in tighter spaces and is simpler to install.
✅ You’re on a tighter budget – More affordable while still offering a solid training area.
✅ Mobility matters – Lighter and easier to transport if you plan to relocate.

Choose a 40ft Shipping Container Gym?

✅ You need more room – Ideal for commercial gyms, group workouts, or adding extra equipment.
✅ You want dedicated zones – Space for cardio, weights, storage, and even changing areas.
✅ You’re planning for long-term use – A better investment if you need a spacious, permanent gym.
✅ You want maximum flexibility – More room for modifications, from open-side designs to skylights.

Because insulation and coatings slightly reduce the internal space of a 20ft gym, it may feel even smaller than expected. If your workouts involve cardio equipment like treadmills or rowers, a 40ft container gym is the better choice—you’ll have more space for movement and more equipment, never less!
