Eleiko Gym Tour: Creating the FBB Lab

Today I'm taking you behind the scenes of my current facility and showing you my favorite tools to train with. I've set up many gyms over the years, and I'll show you a few pointers for designing your optimal space - whether you run classes, train clients one on one, or are carving out a gym space at home.
Many thanks to Eleiko for partnering with Functional Bodybuilding on this facility. You can find the equipment shown here at eleiko.com.
And of course, you can train with Functional Bodybuilding whether you have a full gym setup or nothing at all. Visit functional-bodybuilding.com/p... for a free trial of my go-anywhere program.

This is the first time I have ever seem a full set of Eleiko gym equipment and it’s one of the best gym tour I have ever seen, Coop I am sure you have seen this video awesome great job

[@seanelucero]

That is nicest cleanest sweetest freshest gym I have ever seen

[@marcusfilly]

BOOM~!

[@maryloufulton9597]

@@marcusfilly I second that post above! Where are you? oh my gahhhh beautiful!

[@alantay9409]

Wow! You have a lovely home gym and now this for members! Thank you for the tour! Excellent, excellent gym arrangement you have come up with. I wish I live in your area to be a member of your gym. I live in Colorado. That said, I have build up a few of the tools you had mentioned for my home gym over the last two years. You are one of the few KZbinrs who have inspired me (67 yrs young) to exercise to stay mobile, strong and pain free plus eating healthy. Thank you Marcus for all your efforts. Much appreciated.

[@michaelsears8431]

Absolutely stoked to see our Tib and Nordic bars apart of this tour!! Thanks so much for giving them a shoutout Marcus 🤜🏽🤛🏽

[@adrianoribeiro1449]

Dude, so happy to see you thrive! Much love from Brasil. 🤘🏼🤘🏼🤘🏼

[@evanle5696]

Yo Marcus! Trainer here, in the early stages of starting my own studio! This was the perfect inspiration -- gotta love that Eleiko gear

[@retardno002]

Having drooled for months on the Eleiko website saving for one of their barbells, all I see here are dollar signs flying left and right. All that gear must be worth as much as a Mercedes limousine.

[@Lothramir]

Im so glad that you gave a tip on lower back issues as a bonus. Im surly going to try that out. The gym equipment is amazing.

[@chewyz2193]

Thanks for sharing Marcus!

[@lizdee8118]

Nice! You've given me some great ideas for additions to my home gym!

[@marcusfilly]

I love to hear that.

[@TyronPiteau]

Beautiful gym Marcus! Love it.

[@leboxlasarre6457]

Congrats for your new gym Marcus!

[@Thebusypersoncoach]

Played around on Eleiko’s website the other day to get an idea of how much my dream gym would cost & then came across your tour. Pretty incredible man, beautiful gym

[@kyharrington8987]

Beautiful. Love hearing you talk about what you have learned. Can’t wait to see what comes out of “the lab”. I would love to hear Marcus Filly and Joe Rogan talk on JRE!

[@marcusfilly]

I would love that too!

[@issywatson14]

Looks amazing Marcus! My dream gym! Bodybuilding and functional fitness all in one. I have to go to 2 different gyms right now to get all that haha

[@Fasyle]

That's a nice Nordic Curl bench too!

[@DianaLopez-90]

Awesome!!!!! Dream Gym 💪 !

[@marcusfilly]

Total dream

[@dr.bretemery4864]

Thanks for the tour! Amazing setup! Might I ask what brand is the slant board and deficit step?

[@shantanusapru]

Interesting! Congrats! Sweet set up! And, all the best, Marcus! Hope to see more quality kettlebell related content... P.S.: I didn't see any EZ bars...? Are you against these? I sorta like those esp. for biceps/forearm work... Also, a landmine set up would really be awesome! Also also, how long is that black sled-push turf?

[@awmlawoffice]

I'm all about function over branding, which is why I have a great many Titan Fitness pieces. However, this is, BY FAR, the best equipped, most cosmetically appealing gym I have ever seen. I am extremely envious. That has to be one of the nicest private facilities on the planet.

[@marcusfilly]

Thanks for sharing!

[@danielmoses9146]

Thanks for the video Marcus. Can I ask, how do you find the Eleiko straight pull up bar for movements like TTB, kipping, muscle ups etc. Do the neutral grip pieces or the fact that it sticks off the cross member get in the way? Thanks!

[@75019HUNK]

awesome deep dive into it!! have you done or are you gonna make a video of personal training studio gym equipement ? do you have any recomandations ? i try to open mine thank a lot

[@randysancheznunez5485]

Hey Marcus, Iove your gym btw. Have you ever thought of making a video on what you think are the essentials when starting a home gym?

[@mindgoesbodyfollows]

25:25 thanks for stating who it was from, I thought there was no one in Australia selling something like this

[@renatopolimeno]

AWESOME!! hope one day to get invite to not only visit you guys in San Rafael/CA but also take a few days camp along side FBB team aswell :D

[@herbyleon8283]

Beautiful gym , like the floor trying to get for my indoor home gym. Where did you buy the floor ?

[@gersonruiz4083]

Great set up Marcus but how much that cost? asking for a Friend!!

[@astroaryan17]

Dream gym

[@marktawjoeram4046]

man's got his logo on the dumbells. FBB cool 😎😎

[@marcusfilly]

it's a dream come true

[@Sportsmuscleathletics]

Amazing set up! What flooring do you use? Are those separate tiles or one solid surface?

[@marcusfilly]

These are separate tiles from the Eleiko website

[@JohnGBeckett]

@marcus Which supplier / brand is that slant board with the 4 and 6 inch steps?

[@liftsalty]

Between the Atlantis and Eleiko gear, this has got to be one of the nicest facilities I've seen. Would love a video on the Eleiko GHD - I'm considering buying it and there are zero reviews or videos out there featuring it.

[@marcusfilly]

Thanks for the kind words! We're so lucky to have Atlantis and Eleiko in the gym. I love the Eleiko GHD - it's a staple in my training. We'll add a video review to the content list!

[@brucehutchinson9527]

This is Overwhelming

[@tylerscott6640]

Dude you have a nicer private gym than Rich Froning, Mat Fraser, and Jeff Cavaliere. Did not expect that. I'm curious about ghd sit ups though. This is something I keep looking into to decide if they're worth it but I see so many negative articles and videos talking about how dangerous they can be. What do you think about those criticisms? Do you think they have anything to do with the low back pain you've dealt with over the years?

[@eddiesancho]

Where did you get the black turf?

[@adsfasdkjfh]

mine too

[@Crank3295]

For your small home garage (20 ft) is the strip of turf for sled pulls worth it? I really want to add this but the short distance is not convincing.

[@marcusfilly]

I don’t think so. Not enough space

[@HOFCoach]

Where did you get the flooring? Thank you.

[@marcusfilly]

This is from Eleiko as well and is made by ecore

[@DanielMartinez-og4qs]

Anyone know what flooring he has ?

[@TheEricScar]

Daaang. That's all I can say..

[@keysersoze5920]

Where are your power racks? Also, it’s not a leg press, it’s a squat press. BTW: anyone at your gym squat?

[@valz1985]

Where are you guys located?

[@marcusfilly]

We're in San Rafael, CA! Come on down

[@niallrichardcurran2466]

swanky!!!!!

[@adewabakkelmonsoor2865]

Marcus you do ramble on and preach a lot of nonsense but that gym is amazing. Our gym has a few pieces of eleiko but we can't afford to have all eleiko, it's the good stuff.

[@marcusfilly]

why do you feel the need to insult someone and then mask it with a very hollow compliment. i just don't understand

[@joel6000]

Kinda reminds of a kid who has been given an unlimited credit card. How the hell are you gonna make this a profitable gym

[@RogueCylon]

While you got the stuff from Eleiko. No one can afford or justify this in reality. Even you couldn’t have done it without their sponsorship.

[@marcusfilly]

We are certainly blesses to partner with GREAT companies such as Eleiko to be able to deliver our FBB message to the world.

to Clean , this Studio have None Charakter. Eleiko Stuff is really nice . The Gym self is boring

[@marcusfilly]

Character takes time to build. This is a brand new gym. Just give it time.

[@ascendtoaesthetics]

4 stations for squatting is double the number of squat stations my commercial gym has available 😅😭

[@marcusfilly]

I've seen many commercial gyms neglect squat racks unfortunately!
