Right so I've been browsing on eBay and I am quite lost. I have been looking at multi-gym equipement. Could you recommend what I need. Budget will increase.

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.

What cage is that toxic? I'm just about to order a Bodycraft F430 that looks quite simillar with lat/low pulley (mainly 'cos it matches the bench i have that looks a bit like your also, a bodycraft F602), though your garage is a bit larger than mine and a lot tidier!!

toxic · 23 Jan 2009 at 13:13

its the body solid set..pretty good...I like it.

Allthough...it seems to have gone majorly up in price last few months!

Christ, nearly had a heart attack when i saw the price of £1600, for a power rack?? Then read that it actually included all the rest of the kit with it (bench, weights, lat/low pulley etc etc) so not too bad a deal for a commercial grade set up, after a bit of haggling to get the price down that is!

We'll have to set up a thread like the one in home cinema/hifi sub forum titled 'Show us your home gyms!'

I'd go for powertec's instead for that price, cage/bench/lat pulldown for £900 or so, then add a 140kg marcy tri grip for £200 then spend your spare cash on a nice DB set

edit: Or you can get the workbench and lat tower combo from that site for £748 which is..tempting lol. Slightly less flexible that using a cage but you still get catch arms etc

It was only £1350 when I bought in October/November...inflation :rolleyes:

and thats including a 140Kg barbell set, floor matting and I got them to throw in a new EZ curl bar for free also free delivery. So not too bad for quality gear.
I wouldnt be spending 1600 now on that set...i would have gone for something cheaper if it was that price.

in my garage which I bought last year in August, got it for £500 inc del by calling them up and asking for a discount.

Well, just bought:

http://www.powerhouse-fitness.co.uk/bodycraft-f430-power-rack.php

But not for the price advertised! Also got an oly weight tree to tidy up the discs from the walls/floor. It shall be joining:

http://www.powerhouse-fitness.co.uk/vision-x1500-elliptical-with-deluxe-console.php

along with punch bag/speedball, plenty of matting and the sky telly (only got a 15" screen in there at the moment, might move one of the bigger telly's in there later for some MTV/sports watching) and ipod station.

Originally thought i could get away with just the spotter catchers for barbell work, but they aren't quite tall enough. I suppose i'll need to post a piccy when it's all done, arrives next week.
