The Ruthardt family has done so much over the past decade! They built a mortgage-free tiny house/homestead, sold it, jumped into van life and traveled the country, then purchased this gym space in Oklahoma and transformed in into a living and working space. They are off on yet another adventure and selling their home and business.
The front of the building is their gym, with new equipment purchased in 2020. In the back there’s a whole “tiny home” set up, and in the very back a huge garage with a washer/dryer and workshop space. There’s even a backyard with raised beds! They were paying their mortgage with the gym income, so you might be able to do the same.

No windows in the house?
It’s a 100 year old commercial building sandwiched between other buildings. So only the front and back is open, everything else is solid brick, steel, and concrete.
It is beautifully done, but no windows and no egress points in the event of a fire or other emergency. That is a nicely designed but most likely illegal firetrap. Codes exist for a reason, and ignoring them does a disservice to all the people in the tiny house community trying to get acceptance in their local zoning boards and communities.
No, while that’s a valid concern it isn’t really a issue here…
First, it’s a commercial building sandwiched between other buildings. So there’s just nowhere they could put a window along either side of it and the only outside is the front and rear of the building. You typically can’t put windows on the lot line unless you also own the adjoining buildings, which they do not…
Second, code only really requires that people have a clear path to get out of a building. So, since the only way they could do that is through the front and rear of the building then those are the only real requirements and that is how their space is designed… Access to the hallways is the alternative, when there’s no exterior wall access, and both sleeping areas are open to the hallway…
Third, they would have needed permits, planning approval, etc. to convert this into a gym and living space… So that means they did follow code for their area and it was accepted, otherwise they wouldn’t have been allowed to do it…
Besides, it’s a mostly brick, steel, and concrete building… Code does exist for a reason but that doesn’t mean it gets applied exactly the same way everywhere, regardless of what’s actually practical and relevant to the given application…
Has this property sold yet? If not I would be interested in purchasing…
