should i use part of my patio for a home gym?

[Mary]

i do not have room inside my house for a home gym but i have a huge covered patio that is completely secluded from any neighbors. my bedroom has french doors that open onto the patio. this part of the patio has a complete west wall and a partial north wall. the house itself would be the south wall. i am considering using this area of the patio to put all of my exercise machines/equipment and using it as a home gym. there is a hot tub in the corner formed by the north and west wall, and in the south and west area i currently have an outdoor love seat, 2 chairs and coffee table sitting on an area rug in this spot. so it is a fair size. advice or thoughts would be helpful
