Home Gym

[Gatorboy]

What’s up guys. Sorry if this is the wrong place. I was curious to see how many of you have home gyms. Also. I wanted to brag on my wife and kids for setting me up my home gym in our detached garage complete with lights ceiling fans window units Bluetooth speakers everything.
What an awesome birthday present.

An excellent hall, well done that he was able to realize at home. I'll do it myself someday.

Nice set up!

How do you like training in the garage?

I'm also interested in how to train in the city. In terms of morale and in general, is it better or worse to do it alone?

Doesn't bother me at all to do it alone. Crank the music. Dont need a spotter cause i use a Smith machine. I can yell and cuss all i want..lol.
Actualy,I like it better than a commercial gym.

If I had that kind of space, I'd invest in either a leg press, or hack squat, and a reverse hyper machine.

I may try to sneak one more machine in, haven't decided.. Just to the right of where i'm taking the picture we have a tv mounted on the wall with a firestick. My daughters like to do HIIT videos from you tube so i like to have a lot of space on the pad for them to workout.

What are you deciding between?

I always had home gyms when I was living in a house with a garage and garden but I've been in apartments for a long time now and don't have the space for all the kit anymore.

The only kit I need at home these days is a power rack, bench, and free weights/bars/dumbells ...and that's all I can fit in my spare bedroom anyway.

Then it's great, and music is the best pre-workout complex, it immediately adds fire.

As you understand, I also moved into an apartment and had to forget about my gym. The only thing I have installed is a treadmill.

I built this during Covid, when the idiots in our state wouldn’t let us in gyms. I’ve only gone back to my gym a few times since. Being able to slam weights around without someone crying about it, crank whatever music or TV I want, and not having to wait on a piece of equipment has made it all worthwhile. I do miss seeing some of the ladies from my gym, but apparently not enough to go back. Being able to roll out of bed, in flip flops on arm day, and not having to care what I’m wearing to the gym is real nice! Since this picture I’ve added a wall of mirrors, and an Assault bike. I need more dumbbells still.

It looks very cool, well done for building such a hall. I would also like to myself in the future such.

Honestly this, I agree so much.

I would give up heavy powerlifting to have a nice home gym similar to this.

 

[Misterfister]

That’s awesome that your wife and kids support your lifting.

I’m just a roidy lonely bum with really strong power lifts :/

Many successfully train hard in powerlifting at home, I have seen many such videos.
