I have the 810 Fitness Reality Rack, extra cups the lat pulldown attachment,dumbell sets, titan barbells and swiss bars, benches, trap bar, and a Sole 25 elliptical. All mostly from Amazon. Some also from Walmart. All good quality and works great. Everything I need. I have lifted all my life so I'm good. Currently 72 yrs old so this all I need especially after 4 back surgeries and total hip replacement. The elliptical was the most expensive purchase.

[@AyoSoma]

If anybody reading this wants to expand their search to walmart's online store, you can get the everyday essentials bumpers for 1/lb if you get the 260lb set, the progear squat rack is the exact same as the fitness reality 810xlt but with jcups and is also only $209, and for the adjustable dumbells, i would suggest fuel pureformance 5-50 octagonal for $99.99 ea so get 2. that puts your total at 667 which is more than enough for the barbell and bench for the remaining pieces. also worth noting "BalanceFrom PC-1 Series 1000lb Capacity Multi-Function Adjustable Power Cage Power Rack with Optional Lat Pull-down and Cable Crossover, Power Cage with Lat Pull-down" gets you the rack and lat pull down attachment on the back for only $300 which is a steal as well

I just started working on a home gym. I was happy to see your had the exact weights I bought. Made me feel more confident it was the right choice.

[@steverapos3904]

Often overlooked, is the lat pulldown/low row add on. They don't really cost that much but add a ton of different or improved movements.

[@GlucksGym]

Definitely helps with stability on this one just hard to fit it into this budget range/video.

[@AndrewFrancisFreeman]

@@GlucksGym I got the Reality Fitness 810XLT and Lat pull for about $350. I was fortunate to find the lat pull on offerup

honestly i really like those cap plates and bumpers, at the end of the day weight is weight, and the caps are thin so you can fit more on for the 500lb deadlift your definitely going to do someday

[@NoFate247]

Great video idea, as usual, very well done! I'd love to see you take us through your programing (lifting) and what style you use

May be time to work more of that in. Thanks for the kind words and suggestion.

i have the fitness reality rack, and once you add on the lat pulldown addition. the whole system becomes readily stable.

Im excited I was able to get titan t3 squat stand for 199 I think the space saving and low price commitment is my best option for right now I can expand to a half or sell it and get a full cage if I can make some space. May the gains be with you.

[@wishbone66]

I purchased my Fitness Realty 810 a couple of years ago. I purchased mine through Walmart who also offered free delivery. For me it's perfect, stable and I have zero complaint's. I also enjoy the fact that my new Arch Nemesis swiss bar easily fits in this rack.

[@DavidH373]

I'm definitely over budget and pretending I'm not. I originally started with a $500 budget, with a CAP rack and an 2.0 bar with Crumb plates from Rogue and have since purchased a Concept2 Rowerg and upgraded to a 6-post PR-4000 rack and not to mention all of the plates, bars, and accessories. I'm not quite at the point where I have a problem but the wife is starting to get skeptical I have control of myself...

[@jennoscura2381]

I have the CAP FM-8000F two post rack from Amazon. At one point the bottom part that connects the uprights had a weld fail. I contacted CAP and they sent me a replacement part for free. So I would say it's worth looking at for a budget rack. It comes with J cups and spotter arms. I also has verical bar storage and plate storage. It also has spots for bands if you want to do banded bench press or squat.

[@mjbodeau562]

Could you do one on "shorty" bars?

[@ayebee4703]

I have nothing but good things to say about this rack! I have no regrets with the Fitness reality purchase. I also have the lat pull down attachment.

Gluck! You've totally arrived! You know have people trying to scam your viewers! You're in the big leagues now! 😂

[@ProflexFitness]

I will give you credit, though - You are one of the few that removed the "Red Arrow UP" Stickers on all four 2x2 uprights - good man ;) I have this Fitness Reality rack too and I don't need a $1,000 rack to be able to go to failure on all my body parts. I grow just as well with a $299 rack. But I look like I train on a more expensive rack, and that's all that really matters.

[@gsquared2394]

I bought the titan economy bar for $100 on their black friday sale! Using it for rack pulls so I don’t destroy my $300 bar.

[@WhatAboutTech]

I bought the black set of the essential bumpers from Walmart, 2 days ago. 370lbs for $369🤘🏽

[@rodog504]

Saw your vid on that guys bench breaking on him. I bought this rack with the high low pulley. Didn't skimp on the bench or barbell though. My power blocks up to 90 lbs are like 70 percent of this budget also lol. Enjoy the building vids with price ranges.

[@scooobyj8714]

Great video. Lot of fun building a budget gym. You should do a Time Machine vid and build a titan gym. I build a titan gym in 2017. Spent just under $900 and got a X3 flatfoot with 10”ext, flat bench, non adjustable monolift and 160 iron plate set

[@bobbyhunt3009]

Mr. Gluck, I would like to see U do a video on the power racks (Major Lutie, Elevtab, ER Kang,) from Wal Mart and Amazon. They have a plate loaded cable system built into the racks and are very affordable. No, they are not the highest quality but seem to be a Good buy for someone on a budget. I have never seen a review on them but I really believe it would be one of your most viewed videos if U made it. U won't need to buy before doing a review, just give your opinion and list the details of the racks. The best value power rack I've seen is the Signature Fitnees rack. It does not have the cable system but is 11 Gauge steel with 1 inch holes just like Rogues and REPs and it costs around $700. Thnk for your hard work Take Care

[@danielbruynseels1939]

[@airgordo4]

I think I’ve commented on every video that you’ve mentioned that Titan bar but it really is a great bar. With anything at that price point, and from one of the import companies, I’m sure experiences may vary but mine has been outstanding. I bought the bar back when it was even cheaper than it is now and also on one of their massive sales and think I paid somewhere around $70… only bought it because I sold off my home gym to start a new gym build and needed a bar to hold me over. Fast forward thousands of dollars in barbells and specialty bars later and I still grab that bar to bench from time to time because it’s a great bar and I like the larger 30mm shaft for pressing. Probably wouldn’t recommend it for Olympic lifts dropping the bar from overhead, or for 500+ pound squatters. But for any average gym bro looking to start a home gym I don’t think you’ll get anything close to this for the money. Especially when they run sales on it like when I got it for the price of a pair of Rogue 10lb bumpers lol.

[@BRUTUSPLAC]

I bought THIS RACK in March 2021 . I STILL LOVE IT. " HOLE " comments are true . Titan dip attachment fits mine, and Yes4all attachments work Rogue Ohio BAR ( boneyard ) GREAT JOB as always .

I don't mind buying standard plates for dumbbells. The smaller size of the weights work better with some movements. I think Olympic dumbbells look goofy and probably feel the same.

[@dominiicp]

I'm not exactly sure who he was arguing with but I know him and I did have a conversation about the black version versus the color coded version. I have both versions and I said the color coded version was better. He chose to inject himself as if he could change my opinion. His videos are basically his biased affiliated opinions and there's no greater evidence in this current video. Are we supposed to be blind that affiliate link bros will always favor the money? Nothing against the guy but Even he has to know that when people give their opinion about something that they actually own it is usually genuine but when people are able to monetize their opinion then they will always be skeptics. For instance the flat bench, anyone who has been paying attention knows that Best buy has the best version of a flat bench and a fantastic price when they can catch it low. It's the true grit flat bench. I got it when it was $50 but the lowest I've seen lately was $79. Affiliate link bros will not educate the public even if they knew because they can't monetize it. I really don't want to argue with anyone today because I'm constipated but I'm always here for the smoke if I have to be

[@GlucksGym]

I think you're responding to me but I can assure you it wasn't you this joke was about. This was a person I know personally and we debated between the two. The issue is they advertise stainless steel inserts and I can assure you these are the furthest from it. The rubber coating is thin and often not well sealed so they split fairly easily. They stink, their weight and build quality isn't great by any means and the list goes on. As for that bench and Trugrit, people can and do monetize Best Buy, they have an affiliate program which is why you see those deals so heavily publicized (depending who you're watching). I try to be honest, fair, and thorough so I hope I'm just not some affiliate bro.

[@dominiicp]

@@GlucksGym I wasn't sure but last week someone with the same credentials went back and forth with me about the same bumper plates. I don't take it personal and I'm only here expressing my opinion from my experience because I am definitely an owner of these particular bumper plates. I've had these bumper plates going on two years. Of course you are more than an affiliate link bro, You're a man and a father and a husband and I'm sure much more but you would know more about your credentials. I don't think it is offensive to say you are influenced by your affiliate links, that's how it works. No one escapes the gravitational pull of ways to pay the bill. Were you writing about your experience your with these bumper plates or accessing a projection of what you believe will be the results for a home user? You have all types of gym equipment so it's really hard to believe that you have these terrible results especially since you use multiple bumper plates from different companies. I am an individual who doesn't have any other bumper plates besides the true grit bumper plates (I purchased a different brand two weeks ago for a pound.. thank you but those are brand new ) I've moved these plates to two different Cities here in Florida and they still work like a charm and that's including my workouts. Aesthetically they may not look like they're new but if you're actually working them out then I don't think aesthetics really matter. I'm talking about superficial or minor blemishes. Perhaps people will find a better understanding from reading the reviews. Maybe the majority of the reviews from Walmart and Amazon will be more related to your projection or experience with these bumper plates and this will help people decide on the best option for themselves. As far as the bench for Best buy, my point is valid and it stands because It's a different option at a great price when it is on sale. Hmmmmm. You know what I think I understand that I'm doing it all wrong. My bad, everyone should be commenting on your video because that is partly how you pay the bills. Oops I'm sorry seriously It will not happen again.
