If you’re planning to upgrade your workout space, Gym Mirrors are one of the most impactful additions you can make. They bring both form and function—making your space look more open and polished, while allowing you to check your form during exercise for better, safer results.
Whether you’re designing a home gym or managing a commercial fitness facility, the cost of Gym Mirrors can add up quickly. But what if you could get the same high-end look and full functionality for a fraction of the price? At Fast Glass Mirrors and More, we’ve been helping customers do just that for years—and now we’re sharing two simple steps to save big on Gym Mirrors without cutting corners.
Step 1: Choose the Right Height for Your Gym Mirrors
Full floor-to-ceiling mirrors may look dramatic, but they’re not always the most practical—or affordable—choice for gyms. In reality, most of that height is just reflecting the floor and ceiling, which doesn’t help during a workout and adds unnecessary costs.
We recommend starting your Gym Mirrors about 20 inches above the floor, and extending them to 80 inches high. That 60-inch-tall mirror allows you to see your full body during workouts, from the tips of your fingers overhead to your toes, even from a distance.
Why this height works:
- It provides the complete reflection needed for exercise form checks.
- It saves up to 25% in 8-foot ceilings, and up to 50% in 10-foot ceilings.
- It eliminates the need to cut mirrors around outlets or install mirrored receptacle plates—saving on both time and materials.
Floating the mirrors above outlet level also makes them easier to clean, which is a bonus for both home gym owners and commercial facilities.
Step 2: Optimize the Width of Your Gym Mirrors
When it comes to mirror width, bigger is better—and more cost-effective. Instead of placing individual mirrors at each workout station, consider covering the entire wall with a wide, continuous mirror.
Here’s why that works:
- A continuous mirror allows flexibility to move or upgrade gym equipment without reinstalling.
- Fewer seams create a more professional, clean look.
- Full-width installations minimize waste by using standard sheet sizes, lowering your labor and material costs.
