Let's see your paincave!

Lol, I think that was my first week in my new 1 bed Maisonette and I hadn’t settled on the location at that time. I had thought about setting something up more permanent in the slightly more spacious (not much more) open plan kitchen/Livingroom but I soon found out in this new build its far too warm and Ive settled on the pictured location. The only thing I wish I could still do is keep the front door open but the street opposite is completely occupied (upstairs is now too) and 99% of the new build estate, and modesty prevents me :joy:

Fair enough! Just could not help myself from laughing a bit when I was scrolling and saw the same spot two years earlier :smiley:

What ever works! I think I’m on my 4th spot in my current house.. I think I found were I’m staying!

My pain cave is in a closet … it’s 25 square feet of peace and quiet. :joy:

These days I ride indoors all the time, hence the heavy investment in fans. They really do help though :slight_smile:

What’s the current thinking on ideal fan placement for 2 fans?

I currently have 1 fan on the bike table pointed towards my face. The other one on the ground facing up towards my torso. I don’t know if the fan on the floor is doing much.

One on your back offers quite a bit of cooling. I have one pointed at the front as well but it has to be warm in the room and I need to really get going to need them both.

I recently added a higher volume/lower wind speed type fan to my back, and I was pleasantly surprised how well it cools me. I actually find myself not using the front fan unless it’s an insane workout.

Does that mean I have two fans pointing at each other with me in the middle?

I asked about optimal fan positioning on another thread. I thought there’d be some aerodynamics involved about whether it’s better to have two out front ( so at 11:and 1 o’clock, maybe at different heights or is it better to have 12 and 6?) but there didn’t seem to be any consensus.

You can. I don’t have great place to put one directly in front, so I keep the front one off to the right say the 2 o’clock position. I can add one more off to the left when it’s hot but that’s not a problem I have till next summer here.

Seems pretty trial and error.m to me. And depends on individual circumstances, like positioning of walls, roof, windows etc.

For me I have a big floor fan 12 pointing at the torso. A smaller elevated one at 10 at shoulder level pointing at the face. And a tower fan at 6 pointing at my back. For warm days I also have an AC unit at my 9.

A slightly different set up in my pain hall tonight although I think I could have done with a 2nd fan on my back. This set up was only good for tonight’s recovery workout.

Finally have a fully dedicated space for my pain cave.

Nice @Reecey I see a fridge and a dartboard. I sense that there could be a nice recovery beer hiding somewhere down there! :clinking_beer_mugs:

There could well be :joy: A friend also pointed out that we could play darts while on the treadmill!

Pain cave was upgraded this year and am very thankful to have a dedicated space. The TV is set up to slide along the wall to be moved in front of the treadmill when my wife uses it.

Finished just in time for the cold snowy months!

What material did you use for the slat pannel wall?

You can buy slat panel wall kits at places like Costco (and on line)

no pain with this ambiance! :star_struck:

Nice. Looks like there’s an actual view out that window. Mine just looks into a corrugated steel window well.
