building your own home gym aint easy, ive had to save up a lot of money, time and time again.
next on my list is horse stall mats, just under £30 a pop excluding shipping, minimum order of 4, and shipping is expensive due to the weight involved.
on top of that if you do by second hand equipment, its likely it will need touched up or repainted. just found out i should have ordered a gloss coat to go on top of my primer and paint, roughly £7 a can for 1 of them, you need primer, paint and top coat and usually more than 1, it can all add up.
then you have the same problem as you do in your hardcore gym, heating. mine is in my garage, no double glazing and no insulation and a huge garage door which isnt exactly airtight. so its freezing and it doesnt matter if you put a bonfire in there, without it being properly insulated, all the heat will be lost. so its okay for around 9 months of the year, but during winter it gets extremely tough and sometimes unbearable.
if you have a decent income and can save a few hundred a month then a home gym is an option to consider, if you dont then its best just to stick to a gym, people think they save money with home gym's it's not until you have used the stuff for 5-10 years til you breakeven.
