Home Gym Advice

Rack or similar at least and olympic bar with weights and a decent bench. A few bumbells to start with...and build what youve got up. Home gym equipment is expensive.

This is pretty much what I have at the moment in my garage...and I can do pretty much just about everything.

Yeah, i was thinking that, so much so that i went out before and painted all the walls white, looks better than just the bare brick and also seems to have brightened up the place slightly. Going to get some spotlights for the walls, and possibly one of those thermal lamps to warm things up a bit. Off to B&Q tomorrow to get some insulation to strap to the garage door too, as it's bloody freezing next to that at the moment.

LOL..its a double garage thats built into my house. Hosue only 1 year old.
But ye..it makes a difference when you spend a lot of time in there. I train 4 times a week for about 1 1/2hrs a time. Also a cross trainer and rower which isnt shown.
My last house's single garage had concrete walls...but I painetd them all white and and the floor red ... that made a big difference.

Looks like a really nice setup you have there, and a very respectably clean garage! :p
 
Lol no comments on my little set up must be a pile of **** to look at:D.

Haha, bet your neighbours love you! All that clanking of metal and grunting and groaning going on! :eek:

Nice cable set up too, as already said, probably not really got enough room for that in my place though.
 
Rocky 1, thats the idea lol I'm not a fag. Bright colours equal dirt and sweat marks, I like the colour blue also I have floor mats:p

Town house three levels, garage at the bottom doesn't effect anyone it has padded floors.
 
Well, it was the big delivery day today for the power-rack, let the delivery guy in and open up all the packages to find a 430 F/I/D bench instead of a F430 power-rack! Bugger! Time for the phone calls to start! :(

Sorry dude...I bet you were all excited as well:rolleyes:
 
They could have done it tomorrow, but i'm out all day at work, managed to get it sorted for friday, so still a bit of an inconvenience but a fairly quick turnaround in the end. At least it gave me a chance to tidy everything up, finish off the electrics and get enough stuff out of the way so i can build it fairly easily.

Just need a decent set of spotlights to brighten the place up now and should actually look half decent!
