Jennifer Garner shares peek inside her impressive gym at custom-built $7.4M home during family workout session

Jennifer Garner’s home has been made to perfection, thanks to the 13 Going on 30 star’s input in it. 

The stunning farmhouse-style property was made from scratch in 2019, and boasts many features that have been added to fit in with her family’s lifestyle, including a home gym. 

In a recent Instagram video posted to mark Mother’s Day, Jennifer shared a montage of videos and photos featuring her beloved mom, Patricia, sharing a look inside her beautiful home in the process. 

In one clip, the Hollywood star and her mom were seen doing a workout inside a custom-built gym. The spacious area looked to be the perfect place to exercise, with an assortment of gym equipment and mats, as well as a selection of weights. The room also features large windows to bring in natural light, as well as dimly lit wall lamps to add a calming environment. 

Jennifer has been passionate about health and fitness for years and works closely with a personal trainer, who previously likened her to a “professional athlete”. “(She) likes to work really hard, she’s very, very strong, Beth told Shape. 

“I consider her a professional athlete in what she’s capable of physically. We both love to dance, we both love to work hard, I think it’s a good combination.” 

During an interview on The Drew Barrymore Show, Jennifer told the host that she exercises every morning. The star said: “We need it in our bodies, but we need it in our brains. Your brain needs it!” 

She added: “You find something that actually makes you feel joyful while you’re doing it or it won’t work.” The star enjoys everything from trampolining to weights. 

Jennifer’s home has a lot of other enviable features along with the gym, including a swimming pool, sprawling backyard, and even a Harry Potter room for her son Samuel, 13. 

Talking to Architectural Digest, Jennifer said: “I wanted (the home) to feel old and cool and historic, but I also wanted to make it work for a big family with a lot of things going on.” 

The home was built alongside designers Steve and Brooke Giannetti, and was inspired by Jennifer’s childhood home in Charleston, West Virginia. 

Steve and Brooke explained: “We wanted natural wood, coziness—a kind of warm embrace of a house for her because she’s such a lovely person. There’s also something a bit whimsical about her. And she likes gentle shapes, curves. This place is kind of the house version of Jen’s personality.” 

Jennifer lives in the property with her two children – Fin, 17, and Samuel. Her oldest child Violet, 19, is currently living away from home at college, and is in her first year at Yale University.
