GARAGE GYM TOUR | CUSTOM BUILT DREAM HOME GYM!

[@lxltheredroomlxl3940]

This gym is perfection, the amount of floor space and room to work you still have available is amazing. Awesome gym!

[@MacStrengthCo]

Thanks!

[@mikedx617x]

@@MacStrengthCo Great work here! What are the dimensions of the gym? Trying to build out my home gym, hoping to have a similar set up to yours, but struggling to figure out an appropriate for the plans. Apologies if I missed those details in the video

[@MacStrengthCo]

@@mikedx617x The building is 1500 sq ft but only a 1/3 is used for the gym. So roughly 1000 sq ft should be more than enough for what you need.

[@mikedx617x]

@@MacStrengthCo Much appreciated, that is very helpful to know!

[@BasementBrandon]

Great looking spot. Appreciate how organized everything is.

I had lots to time to plan while I waited 8 months for equipment to come back in stock! lol Must have sketched out the layout 10 times.

GOALS!!!!! Sheesh so nice

[@MacStrengthCo]

Thanks bro!

[@FitLabb]

Love how your gym came out with the broad selection of equipment & how well you organized everything. Looks like you’re working with just a bit more space than I am, as our gym is about 900 square feet. Just took delivery of the last major piece of equipment to finally complete our gym with a REP PR-5000 that I’m building tomorrow, but was unfortunately limited to the 80” tall model due to ceiling height restrictions.

[@MacStrengthCo]

Good luck on your gym build. Appreciate the comment and you love the PR 5000. I think the 80” will be just fine.

[@t-manballin2458]

Insanely cool gym! Goals one day!

[@MacStrengthCo]

Thank you!! Appreciate it.

Fantastic gym build, really enjoyed the video. Just a suggestion about the background music - you may want to tone down the tempo and volume. Found it very distracting when I cannot focus on your commentary. Great job on the vids, fan of your content.

[@MacStrengthCo]

I agree! Im the guy who doesn’t know how to turn on a dsl camera never mind make a KZbin video. I quickly found out the other channels making similar content have film degrees or teach videography at a university level so I’m the underdog here but working on it! Appreciate the feedback and support.🤙🏼

[@garagegymfanatics]

wow! this is one of the best garage gyms out there. a weight room, mat space with bags, and a tool box set! place is basically perfect!

Awesome, awesome gym! Glad you finally put this video out, as it's easier to get a good perspective of the size of the gym. I'm envious! You could literally charge membership fees to that place. LOL. The rail system for the bags is genius and I'm going to have to look into that to keep my heavy bag out of the way when not using it. Keep em coming!

Thanks man, we are grateful for how it turned out. I'm going to get into that rail system soon. cheers!

[@JoeyJungleGym]

Excellent engineering in space and functional stations. 1 thing you won't be able to stress enough is the time spent every day (and night in bed) thinking of what Tetris moves you have to make for the most floor. High five the wife for being a huge part of making it happen. Looks fantastic.

[@MacStrengthCo]

You know it! It doesn't end either. I think I use my tape measure more than the squat rack! thanks for the support. cheers!

My ab-5200 is my favorite bench too! The AB-5200 is the best adjustable bench for the money. Better than most commercial incline benches IMO

[@MacStrengthCo]

Yes it is! I have a secret hack coming soon for it. Stay tuned

[@moisesojeda5647]

You ever thought of buying preowned commercial gym equipment? Or liquidation pallets? Ive come across 10000lbs of urethane/rubber coated commercial plates and dumbbels for under 50c/lb. Saved me lots of money but it does take time to find the pair for singles😅 Plus no cost of shipping

[@MacStrengthCo]

Absolutely!! You scored a great deal. I wasn’t so lucky in Cali most used gear was selling for more than new prices a year ago. 🤙🏼😂

[@Team.Madman]

Awesome! Cant wait for more videos. First time I've see that opposite wall. It is begging for a big mural or something!!

[@MacStrengthCo]

Ya that side has been neglected so far! Needs a two post lift and a 70s muscle car parked there but I may have blown the budget on the gym side! ha ha

[@helieasy]

Thats awesome! I would be interested in an in depth of the reverse hyper. Been looking at getting one to help rehab my lower back.

[@MacStrengthCo]

Thanks! That's been a popular request and will be on our list for a in-depth review. We've had our reverse hyper now for awhile so it's a good time to get some real world feedback.

[@michaelmalvin8990]

Really enjoyed your video. The gym is so tight!! I've got $55K into my 3 bay garage gym and look forward to building a dedicated structure at some point as well. I especially appreciate your tone in your delivery. You come across as just sincere and grateful which is refreshing as so many videos, you can see people either just trying too hard or having an agenda and more. What's your day job?

[@MacStrengthCo]

Thanks Michael. First youtube video and clearly my acting career won't be taking off anytime soon! cheers

[@MacStrengthCo]

DM me on instagram about my day job. cheers brother.

[@Mr-ng3mq]

Why did you guys pick the Titan spotter arms instead of the Rep ones? I’ll be honest, the Titan arms look nicer because they got a “face saver.”

[@MacStrengthCo]

Great question. I’ll be honest and couldn’t wait any longer for a re stock from Rep. the Titan arms are very similar to Rogues and are much stronger designed in my opinion so we choose them.

[@Mr-ng3mq]

@@MacStrengthCo Nice! I completely agree with you, those Titan arms look beefier than the ones from Rep.

[@Johnrap]

We bought all of our dumbbells from different companies, just to try them all out. Like 20s from Everlast, 25's from Rogue, 30s from Titan, etc. Anyway, our 45s are the Rep rubber grips, like seen in this video. And those are the ones that my kids like best. In my personal opinion the Titans are the best.

[@MacStrengthCo]

Once you get your training up to 80lb-120lb range you will like the rubber grips more. So much more compact and easier to handle. The urethane are also nice in the heavier weights. That was a huge part of why I bought them. Cheers!🤙🏼

Get the 97 C4s we got LOL seriously bro, great job man! Watched the entire thing and wanted more.

Yes that REP functional trainer is the buy once and be happy purchase. There's many other functional trainers for less money but they are smaller and narrower with less weight on the stacks. That thing is HEAVY! It's literally never moving so buy the one you like.

Great video and beautiful gym. What made you go with the American Barbell plates? Do you notice the smaller diameter of them compared to the larger diameter bumpers?

The American barbell plates are the best plates made in my opinion. Easy to handle, feel great in your hand and last forever. I’m looking into a set of iron plates next to add to our gym. We use the bumper plates for Olympic lifts like deadlifts mostly. Plates are personal preference but any will work.

[@mattwypijewski4192]

Can you explain what type of foil insulation you used in between the rafters? Also, the decision to not drywall a ceiling in there? I like the open rafter look. Wondering if it’s very cold...

[@MacStrengthCo]

The foil is and insulation heat reflective barrier and not great for R value. I just ran out of money to finish the ceiling.. Normally those rafters would be insulated with fiberglass and covered. It's 1500 sq ft with 19' ceilings so ya it's not super warm in the winter. Our heater just can't keep up with that much overhead space. I like the open ceilings so probably just leave it. Doesn't get super cold where we're at.

[@snippersolutions8556]

Awesome gym and great video! How did you color your Rep banner red for the rack? Was it spray can paint? If so, what brand and model? Thanks.

Can you talk through the benefits of having a lat pulldown when you have the functional trainer?

[@MacStrengthCo]

Heavier weight stack, , leg pad to hold you in place and foot pad for seated rows. I think some of it comes down to preference and how strong you are. If you can’t lift your body weight much less benefit for example. Hope that helps! Cheers.🤙🏼

@@MacStrengthCo yeah I'm going back n forth between the ones you have or the rep urethane plates. Seems like there's pro and cons to both options

I have the REP urethane plates also. The rubber is identical on both plates from what I can tell. Other than design they are very similar and would come down to which ones you like the look of better. Slight edge to AB's hand hold design but that's splitting hairs.
