How much did my home gym cost? | Full Home Gym Tour (2023 edition)

[@TheSaxon.]

Remember guys, even though it would be great to have a fantastic home gym like Matt's, you can still build a good physique with just dumbbells or a barbell, if you're committed, so no excuses.

[@MattDoesFitness]

Yep, 100% mate

[@rossrobson1045]

Absolutely I've only got a pair of 10kg dumbbells that i use and do push ups, squats, sit ups etc I've got in great shape by doing that over the past of years

[@NAVEENCHAURASIYAA]

It gets boring in home GYM

Been training outdoors and at home for 90 days now making ALL KIINDZ OF GAINZ for free :D

[@jamiemacmillan4056]

I think one of the best purchases you can make in a home gym is one of the full racks with the lat pull down/row built in. If I ever build my own I’ll be buying one of them. My dad has one and he’s got near 20 years out of it

[@Sthilboy56]

I made my own home gym did it all for under £500 welded up the bench and racks , got everything I need bench , squats dumbbells up to 50 kg , it’s a bit rough and ready but two of us can do a complete workout just fine

[@MattDoesFitness]

Ah that's sick mate, nicely done 👊

[@Sthilboy56]

@@MattDoesFitness cheers , yours looks great 👍

[@ahmedalkhalili9060]

I built almost the same in my garage and it cost me GPB 5,400. I have a bulky half rack, dual pulley machine, adjustable dumbbells, treadmill, bike, rings, heavy bag, 200kg bumper plates, adjustable bench, flooring, and some accessories like bands, rollers, parallettes etc.

[@MattDoesFitness]

That’s sick mate, nicely done 👊

[@ageofechochambers9469]

Same thing , cost around $7000 . But honestly it could have cost less than half if I just bought used equipment.

[@vGz_YizAllLuvIt]

This is genuinely the dream. Imagine having this at home, incredible.

[@MattDoesFitness]

Is pretty wild tbh mate

[@home-grownphysiquesbylesowen64]

Hi Matt your choice of leg press machine should have been a dual purpose plate loading leg press and hack squat machine as it allows you to do 4 exercises in total 2 for the upper legs, 2 for the lower legs which in my opinion is a much better choice stay safe and healthy

[@grahammethold]

Thanks for the honest walk around. Really helpful. There are so many gym manufacturers, it easy to end up with "paralysis by analysis". I think I'm going to get some Bulldog Gear. The customer service people really responsive and the equipment seems good quality. That dual cable pulley machine is catching my eye - it seems like the next thing to get after barbells/ dumbell/ rack. Thanks again for your review. I would really enjoy a video showing all of the possible exercises on the pulley machine - just an idea.

[@richard99cookify]

£60,050 - but the very well built outbuilding the gym is in has probably added more than that to the overall value of the house, so happy days.

[@pardesiau1432]

Bro, that is a shit hole for £60k.

[@DamonMoves]

You’re so smart on being able to justify one machine to do multiple things. I feel like a lot of gyms they waste so much space on machines that just do one thing. It’s all about making the most of the space, efficiency. Great job!

[@writingweasel6518]

Even though having a gym like this brings you a ton of benefits I would still mostly prefer to hit the public gym. There's just something about seeing everyone work on themselves that motivates me to be consistent. Only thing I hate is when it gets busy but still, great work you deserve it 👍

[@alixthefunk]

Yeah definitely agree with that. Although Matt's gym is slightly more than a home gym. But yeah nothing like actually going to the gym and being surrounded by similar people in a charged gym atmosphere

[@apcfitness]

God I can’t agree. I went to Public gyms for a bit and was about to give up on training before I got my home gym. The gyms I went to were so crowded , you could never use the equipment you wanted to, one woman stole my leg press when I went off to get extra plates for a new set, the music is so awful in public gyms. Having a home gym where you can play your own tunes , never have distractions and have no annoying people is amazing. Also it saves you so much time and you can always fit a workout in when busy. I have a pretty stacked home gym and could never go back to a public gym again.

[@writingweasel6518]

@@apcfitness I wish I had a home gym only so I didn't have to pay my monthly membership but I relate to what you are saying. The public gym I go to can get insanely overcrowded, but it's still worth it to me

[@alixthefunk]

@@apcfitness yeah I suppose if you have a good collection of kit and you keep motivated. So I go to a kind of hardcore back ally dirty type independent gym which I LOVE. Loads of new and old and classic kit rammed in with a great family vibe. On the other hand my old gym is a national chain full of people who have no manners or gym etiquette so I can see why that would be a turn off

[@gustafsontwins5811]

He can still go the public gym if he wants to chill out man

[@someonethatisachristian]

body lift bl1 can do all of this except squats, 200kg/440lbs max load (you are weight magazine +150% + you cain weight it down using plates on seat or footrest), cost: roughly $1000 USD

[@gergojonas828]

Building mine at the moment. The little things adds up as well you'd never think about like screws, installation, curtains/blinders, painting, paying the workers etc. Definitely worth it tho

[@jamescraven5001]

I'm currently looking at building my own gym. So I shall definitely be looking at your build videos to get some tips and hints. Your gym looks fantastic mate and we'll deserved 👊

[@williamraymond8378]

I recently purchased a cable machine off of amazon. 500 quid and a pain in the balls to put together, but best purchase ive ever made for a very cheap price considering how much others charge. Not industrial gym quality but easily good enough for anyone looking to start a home gym. That and a squatrack/bench and you can do almost everything needed!

[@MattDoesFitness]

That’s sick mate, nicely done 👍

[@274halo]

Very nice gym and space one thing that might be worth mentioning the fact that multi gyms can be factored in since when you have limited space but have the funds to spend over 600 quid a multi gym can slot in nicely as a decent jack of all trades usually coming with leg extension/curl chest fly/press lat pull down etc with a 100kg stack. Also noticed no cardio equipment a simple folding treadmill does not go a miss or the bulldog gear airbike which is pretty awesome.

[@megansmith2503]

We will been looking forward to the full house tour very soon ❤

[@Czechbound]

I guess if an average monthly membership in a good gym is, say 100 pounds. So 1,200 per year. 6,000 over 5 years. And commuting costs. I think you could have a fantastic small home gym for that money. Even half that money. Well done Matt and Bulldog Gear. A great partnership.

[@MattDoesFitness]

Appreciate it mate & very true

My home 🏡 gym 🏋️‍♂️ 💪 cost me just over approx £300 over 10years of collecting things. All I need 2nd hand spin lock dumbbells and barbell and 130kg of weight. Pull up bar , dip paraletts, resistance bands, punch bag, weight vest ,skipping rope, 1 flat bench , dumbbell ankle straps(monkey feet), a bull worker. 2 second hand kettle bells and a 25kg sandbag.

[@td4611]

[@MattDoesFitness]

That is awesome!

[@granitestatedave]

Amazing! I would consider putting a full length mirror in front of the squat rack

[@justinengland9814]

Love the honest video Matt, respect

[@Slubby196]

Matt, if you turn the dual cable machine into a smith mechanism with a single bar won’t the weight stacks not be heavy enough? Not sure what your cable ratio is but most machines will only supply 160 or so pounds of resistance with both stacks combined because of the 3:1 cable ratio, unless yours is different.

[@stievenz3977]

i have a gym down in the basement, it's very costly compared to a gym membership but i just don't have the time to go out after work to an actual gym i have two kids who i can take with me into my own gym. or when i'm on a limited amount of time just walking down the stairs is just so valuable i feel like i've build a decent physique while being limited in equipement. i've also considered making specific home gym content but haven't done so you can do so much while being limited, old school bodybuilding if you will if i get an additional machine i would probably go for a cable machine although my physique would be better of with a leg machine as for me that's the hardest part of growing at home

Matt your gym is expensive but amazing as well.

[@hulkspointofview2280]

Totally irrelevant but may take the shine off that bench shown in the vid (if its leather)... leather should be a matte finish so get some leather cleaner and a leather cleaning brush and it may make that bench more useful. What a epic home gym mate love it

[@jamiefletcher20]

Taking inspiration from the likes of Matt, joey D etc I built a home gym due to childcare making getting to the gym increasingly difficult! I wasn't spending much on the gym £25 per month, so it wasn't primarily cost focused although saving 300 per annum is another benefit. I used my summer house in my garden - roughly 12 x 8 foot. I have gone with cheap rack from amazon, barbell, bench plates etc. Adjustable dumbell handles (2 sets) one I can load up to about 35kg per DB, the other 50-60kg + per DB. Leg ext/ curl machine and lat pull down dual pulley. As well as other bits and pieces like attachments, flooring & resistance bands etc. I have loads of 5kg and fractional plates for dbs as well as 10s and 20s for barbell/ plate loaded equip Spent about £2,000 all in which I think is great. Space is a bit limited now though but looking to move into a new house this year with a garage, so I'll be upgrading the space as the summer house is jammed and not ideal. Have to manovure loads of items to get a proper work out in

fantastic gym, can't call it a home gym, or it's the Real Madrid of home gyms :)...never understood why the heavy dumbbells are are always on the bottom of the rack and the light ones on the top, so much easier taking the 40kg/50's from the top or even the middle rack..

[@DudeSilad]

That's not bad to be fair. I was expecting it to be a lot higher. Not that I would do it myself. If I lived miles from a gym I might and I wouldn't need all the expensive stuff. You can buy second hand far cheaper. Gyms are always going bust. My gym a mile away costs 300 a year and I'm 55 so I probably don't have many more years to realistically train. 20 I hope. That's 6k give or take in todays prices. But if you have family and friends who would also use it, it would be a good idea.
