Gyms for Sims | CC-Free Sims 2 Community Lots | Create-a-Town
These two different community gym lots are built and decorated in a similar style but their exteriors are painted to look different.
Puns and cute plays on words are a notorious part of the Sims games, and because I have a few playfulness points I’ve tried to have these lots follow in that legacy with their names.
First up is the small “Gym-in-a-Box”, named for not only its more boxy shape, but also the shape of the lot (2x2).
This little gym is 3 stories tall and provides your sims with lots of options for exercising, or soothing their over-worked muscles. You will need to download the Maxis Lost and Found Fixed CAS Window to get it to look exactly like the pictures. The window is not included in this download. Since this is an object that came with the game, but was hidden, I don’t really consider it CC, however, if you do please feel free to replace the 3rd story windows with the regular High-Tech Loft Window that is visible on the front of the building (also on the 3rd story) above the front doors.
This lot comes lightly furnished and would most likely benefit from some added décor should you desire to do that. It should be functional without any extra fussing though.
Alright, let’s see what you’re getting with this small but serious gym:
1st Floor From top-left: Hot-Tub, Vending machines, bathrooms, entry area (with “healthy” meal options [regular grocery freezers]), main workout space, side-entry.
2nd Floor From top-left: weight room, vending machines, bathrooms, the rest of the floor is open to first story.
3rd Floor From top-left: ballet studio, bathroom, sports massage studio (could also be a physical therapy office).
CC-Free, but all EPs and SPs are required.
Don’t forget to grab the Maxis/EA “Lost and Found” CAS Window Fixed if you do not already have them in your game.
I’ve run this lot through the Lot Compressor so any random references to sims that aren’t there should be removed. I have also run it through the Lot Cleaner to remove any bits of buggy code. This lot comes with a shiny custom thumbnail so it has even more curb appeal in your Lots and Houses bin! 😄
I ALWAYS recommend using the Sims 2 Pack Clean installer to install lot files.
The link for this lot will be at the bottom of the post. Keep scrolling. 😊
Next up, it’s The Slim Gym, so named because of the lot shape (5x2) it is built on.
This lot is fairly sizable so if your computer is good enough you should be able to have your sims enjoy exercising with a plethora of not-so-fresh-smelling patrons. What could be more fun? 😂
You will need to have the Maxis Lost and Found Fixed CAS Window installed to get it to look exactly like the pictures. That window is not included in this download. Since this is an object that came with the game, but was hidden, I don’t really consider it CC, however, if you do, please feel free to replace the 3rd story windows in the black corrugated siding section with the regular High-Tech Loft Window.
I realized after packaging this lot that I also have the Freetime pre-order bonus poster hung in the ballet studio. It is included, but you do not have to install it if you use the Sims2Pack Clean installer. This is an original Maxis/EA object however, so you probably already have it in your game.
Let’s have a look at those spacious floorplans, shall we?
1st Floor From left: pool, shower and locker rooms, hot-tub, weight room, locker rooms and showers, vending machines, main floor bathrooms, treadmills, staff offices, or offices for personal trainers/nutritionists, and the entry area (with “healthy” meal options [regular grocery freezers]).
2nd Floor From left: open to floor below, upstairs sitting area above pool, small back patio area, ballet studio, sports massage/physical therapy office, bathrooms, vending machines and eating area, the rest is open to the floor below.
Since there is a bit more space in this building, I’ve taken a couple of pictures of how some of the rooms look. You’ll notice that the interior of this building is very similar to the first gym. Feel free to redecorate it or move things around if you like.

Now I need to design a “Just-Right Gym”. Not too big, not too small… 🤣
