This story is part of Design Goals, our week-long series celebrating the interplay between sports and style.

Whether you’re tuning in for the canoe slalom or the Lady Gaga performance, we’re all in deep Olympics mode right now—and as the games kick off, our eyes have been increasingly drawn to homes with an athletic aesthetic. Outfitted with climbing walls, lap pools, skate ramps, state-of-the-art fitness studios, and even monkey bars (!), these dwellings deserve gold medals of their own.

So while you’re waiting for the beach volleyball finals to air, why not take a lap through our list of ovation-worthy homes? We’d put ’em all on the podium, if we could.

1. Hallway Monkey Bars in New Brunswick

2. A Skateboard Ramp for a Sporty SoCal Family

3. A Queensland Yard With a Lap Pool (and Waterfall)

4. The Climbing Wall Inside This Tsukawaki Home

Yoga isn’t an Olympic sport (yet), but this serene backyard studio in Buenos Aires has us feeling inspired to get our sweat on nonetheless.

Imagine practicing your diving (or maybe just your cannonball) in this ultra-deep pool in Phoenix. The pool is sheltered on all sides by white plaster walls, and the architect describes it as “half terrace, half cool-water retreat...projected toward the canopy of the desert sky.”" layout="" credit="Photo by Dean Kaufman" photoUserId="6133430583661584384"/>
