Building a budget home gym can be a bit difficult due to how many options are available. Today, I want to show you how I would build a full home gym for under $500 exclusively on Amazon, which means it also includes shipping. A lot of this equipment isn't great and are things you'll eventually want to upgrade, but to start out, these should get you going.

As of Feb 28, 2021, Hulkfit 45lb plates (there are now blue) is $184/each. For comparison, CAP 45 lb plates are $130/ea (all CAP plates are in stock). CAP 7' barbell is $130.

Careful on cheap benches. I had one break while benching. Went from flat to decline in split second. Almost died. Don’t use clips at home. You can always dump the weight.

First day impressions:It arrived in a waist high box. kzbin.infoUgkxP26Tir6n60vUkdtn4mbwhRO8cwuJQNy2 Each dumbbell was in its own foam box within the shipping box. Everything was secure and in good shape. No weird smells. The weight changing mechanism is really smooth and straight forward. Changing weight is really fast and easy. Though the handle is plastic, I don't think it will be breaking anytime soon. So far pretty impressed after my first session with them. I was afraid they were going to be too wide at first, but I didn't have any issues with them while doing upright rows.

Great video!! I like how you walked us through how/where to get them on Amazon/Walmart, etc. Plus, while you're pointing out and choosing the equipment that's for 'this' project, you point out stuff that's a step up. And the quick shot of you doing chest w the dumbbells while the bench was rolling was pretty funny. I like that (it seems) you make it a point to be a real student of this area. Nice work... 👍👍

[@Hellamoody]

You're welcome

Seems like $800 to $1000 budget would make the most sense since weights are expensive and a more solid rack is good for safety reasons.

The squat rack is actually pretty solid. For 250 bucks, I do 400lbs squats all day with no problem. As for everything else, idk but this squat rack is the best purchase I have made In the past year 100%

[@mjpalumberi1]

I spent around $600 on Titan Fitness for a squat cage, bench, barbell, land mine attachments and dip bar. So far over a year everything is good as new. Spent close to that amount just on weights to actually use to workout 😭

[@Egghead1199]

Yea it’s better than most commercial gym bars honestly!

[@teamrogers1047]

Matthew the 3rd it’s possible you just got a lemon. The only time I got any bend out of the bar was with at least 4 plates a side and even then I had the plates spaced out closer to the ends of the barbell.

[@brandonhuynh7260]

Most of the reviews say it's good but some of them say the metal flakes off. Do you have any experience with that?

[@teamrogers1047]

Brandon Huynh I’ve had no problems with metal flaking off. I know another comment in here brought up that they wished there was knurling in the middle but, I find the matte finish creates enough friction that it’s not an issue for me. I’ve squatted with the bar too and was never worried about it rolling or slipping off my back.

[@lyecon2771]

More like $10,000 cuz everyone thinks barbells are $25/lbs

[@spyguyfl]

Coop, just came across your channel of awesomeness! . I will be reviewing your videos closely. I am helping open/setup a large Judo & Jujitsu (non-profit) facility in Ohio. Looking for low cost options since we don't have funds in place yet. Thanks for making these videos!

[@YelaDuck]

You could do that. The main reason I go to a gym is it gets my literally out of my own comfort zone to grow. Then I can get a grip around improving.

[@AMIRBENDABI]

After this pandemic everyone will be able to build a whole gym for $500

[@GymPerformance]

as if there will ever be an "after pandemic" ;)

[@statz8402]

[@Lightwing]

Surprisingly, minus the inversion table, I built my gym during the pandemic for $700. I either got really lucky with Amazon or Facebook Marketplace. Still a little high, but I wouldn't trade it for the world.

Oh my god ... This same list of stuff is like five times the price now as they are in the video. Holy hell.

I’m sure this gets said a lot but really I am surprised about your subscriber count given the quality and VARIETY of your content and the superb editing.

[@4920539442940204]

Hey Coop, I have become a fan recently. I appreciate how you make videos where you explain things in detail and you show the best that's out there but you also don't take yourself too seriously and videos like this are great for those of us who are not interested in the high-end stuff. I have a suggestion, many people received a $1200 stimulus check and I wonder if you could make recommendations for American companies that would help American products and American workers for $1200. Obviously, most everything right now is out of stock but maybe for once things are getting restocked you could offer some suggestions including things outside of the squat rack like adjustable dumbbells, incline bench, and perhaps functional training tools?

[@catman688]

Definitely consider Titan Fitness products, even at the higher price points.

[@XxMeatShakexX]

Nice meme

[@eliteathletefitnessequipme2579]

I agree, super happy with my Titan fitness rack which was under $500. I feel like there is no need for me to upgrade down the road.

Honestly prefer this sort of video to your newer ones. The newer ones almost feel too polished for a garage gym lol, need a bit of grottiness in there.

Great info!! Could you show the $500 - $750 range? Basically, this setup but upgraded items.

[@Chanel.Mckenzie]

I had a rogue sml 1 with a rogue bench rogue 45lb plates and a cap barbell and some dumbbells before the virus hit thank god. Since then I’ve purchased ez bar curl, preacher curl machine, sissy squat, Leg machine, adjustable bench, 55lb rubber plates, Lat pull down machine, gym flooring/ paint for garage a speaker got a pull up bar. Found 13 feet of free mirrors that I hanged up, made a crossmember/ pulley/cable crossover with my sml-1. Made a weight tree knowing that when it’s over I still will go to a commercial gym.

[@gm08351]

got clickbaited by the thumbnail, good job

[@DylanKJohnson]

Gym in the thumbnail isn't going to be too much more. Probably $1,200 ($600 for dumbbells, $300 for plate loaded lat pulldown, $300 for bench, barbell and some plates). There isn't a squat rack though so add that in and you'd be around $1,500.

[@boxlad7583]

Dylan K Johnson a barbell alone is 150-200+, and 45 pound plates are anywhere from 50-100+ per plate depending on the coating

[@DylanKJohnson]

@@boxlad7583 for something halfway decent, yes. But for a budget option, you can (probably not right now) find a bar cheap beater bar and 200 lbs-ish of plates for $300 or less.

[@stevenboelke6661]

I've got one of those super cheap screw lock barbells. They're only rated for 100kg, but I regularly deadlift 150kg without issue. I don't have more plates to test the max weight though, and I don't really want to snap it either.

Cool man. This is so inspiring.
