How to: Build an ALL Amazon Home Gym!

[@nopinions]

Definitely want to see this put together in a functional environment, mainly because I already bought half of this over the past year and want to see how I can tweak my space better.

[@samt8187]

Same! I was looking at his cart at the end and was thinking, "Wow this looks a lot like all the stuff I have!"

[@pinchpeak5203]

That's completely situational/subjective though

[@JonDeth]

*Yeah, his video is so obviously going to help you do that. Next time make sure you get your head completely up his ass when you kiss it.*

[@criscristofferson7381]

Definitely would like to see all this out together and reviewed. I’m wanting to start a garage gym in the new year.

[@dmiller4088]

Just about finished with mine. Just need some accessory panels to hold studf. The options are overwhelming at times. Good luck brother.

[@jonathanstrange8537]

Love the channel. Just started my home gym. Using Powerblocks, cap adjustable bench, and sunny health rower, plus some kettlebells. Will eventually add power rack, barbell, and plates throughout the year. Keep up the reviews.

[@WyldeWoodworks]

This is a great list! I did my whole setup off amazon and just like you said I'm looking for a new adjustable bench already. I did save a ton of $$ by buying loadable dumbells and iron plates though. And a cheaper flooring option is a $50 area rug for those who don't want to afford the rubber mats.

[@johnshaw7629]

YES! Please review the everyday essential plates. I have seen these go on some crazy sales but wasn't sure if it would be worth the purchase.

[@fwiffo42]

Definitely show the install and review of this setup. I think it’s a great mid-range option for someone just starting out!

[@doctabustacruz]

Low key added some if not most of these to an amazon list lol. Trying to slowly build my home gym. These are great suggestions!

[@rgarcia379]

Y’all totallyyyyy need to set up a gym with the equipment and test it out. Great video idea !

[@chinnyworldpeace]

Just installed rubber interlocking tiles from American Floor Mat. I floored our entire gym, and I am VERY happy. My DIY garage gym looks so much more clean, welcoming, and professional. I found it to be cheaper to order directly on their site instead of Amazon. The flooring was cheaper. The shipping was cheaper. Also, I was able to connect directly with a sales representative. Pricier than horse stall mats but definitely worth it. Garage gym is 75% done. Can't wait to show off the finish product!

[@keatonforsythe8559]

Yep, I love my NordicTrack adjustable dumbbells. I have the black/blue plastic ones that don’t have knurling, but I like the adjustability for value way more than others on the market

[@JeromyRothe]

I want to see the video of all these products put together. I need to see that final form

[@christinenackers6231]

I’d enjoy a video on the Everyday Essentials bumper plates. Those seem to be everywhere and the reviews are all over the place.

[@xxxthewaynexxx]

No issues unless you're dropping them higher than a deadlift from what I hear

[@MIKE_BLM_BDS_ACAB]

I don't have a garage or space for a real home gym. If I did I wouldn't buy any of this Amazon stuff. But I watched this video and will watch a set up and a review video because I find myself watching all your videos. Keep up the good work. Hopefully someday I'll have a house with an amazing home gym thanks to all the hours watching your content.

[@adammiller4044]

The Fitness Reality half rack is also great. It's about $200 and comes with a landmine attachment.

[@ljwldt]

I've got quite the collection of "pull up assist" bands off of Amazon to do banded work (having band pegs on my rack is huge), versa grips, slam ball, chin/dip belt, belt, landmine attachment all from amazon

[@sggee]

Definitely want to see you purchase build and test these products. Enjoy your videos keep up the great work

[@barbellbryce]

That Fitness Reality Rack has to be the greatest deal of all time! Bought it at the start of COVID and I've regularly had 400+ lbs on it weekly since with ZERO issues. Plus I have an SSB/Swiss Bar mounted on the back. Can't recommend it enough!

[@indiomonk123]

Yes! Please do a review on everyday essentials colored bumper plates. Thanks!

[@adilemmy897]

This channel is realy underrated. Great work.

[@Adamthekat]

The PAPABABE 2-Tier Dumbbell Rack can be found on Amazon and it's amazing. I have two of them and they fit my 5lb to 100lb sets of Dumbbells very well

[@Brettwid8d8]

I'm interested in the extra video where you review the products you buy here

[@scottbutler5421]

My bench from Amazon is the JX Fitness Olympic Squat Rack for $120 that I lower to use as a bench press along with a Gold's Gym bench I got at Goodwill years ago. It does the job!!!

[@joshgies1869]

I volunteer my garage if you need a place to put it after assembling and making the videos etc. If I had to start over, I think the rack/bench/barbell/bumpers/collars is a great start. Thanks for the video!

[@colemanhuckins1181]

I just started my home gym and the first thing I bought was the sports royal power tower from Amazon, and its been really good. Looking to get a rack, and bench next.

[@harrysilverman919]

Coop, been watching your videos for quite some time on my smart TV while working out, but recently joined from my computer. I really enjoy your approach and reviews. I set up my home gym, starting when the pandemic hit, and have been adding to it ever since. I started with a connected spin bike (Echelon), and rower. Purchased the fitness reality rack and upper/lower pulleys, and continue to add; 25 pieces of equipment later, I think I'm done, although I am looking at an endless rope. I know you hate the foam flooring, and it does leave impressions if you leave heavy equipment on it, but once in place, it works well and is significantly less expensive. I've purchased a lot of equipment on Amazon as well as from Titan. Really good experiences with both. Although I have a few bumper plates, my goal is $1 per pound. I find that you can never have too much weight. Would love to go over equipment content and get your comments.

[@basicallymid]

I got the American rubber mats a few years ago and they are amazing. I was concerned about using horse stall mats because they are so heavy and I was concerned about fumes. I'm glad I got the tiles because they were so easy to maneuver. I recently moved and it was SO EASY to breakdown, pack up, and put back together.

[@lurklingX]

DAMN they are heavy. i got one and i can barely drag it. made be feel like a gnat dragging a cantaloupe. (the smell is noxious. *forever.* )

[@edisonewert2453]

The X-Mark barbells are really nice too and I actually use them in the commercial gym I manage along with the same Fitness Reality power rack sans the lat pull down attachment.

[@rayleneknight8718]

Would love this all put together and functioning. I love your content. I recently added the Power Blocks Elite XP to my home gym after seeing several of your videos. That led me to other videos as well and many of the recommended them as well. Thanks again!

[@vicktung]

wow....love this video series I learn something new every time I watch your videos Thank for sharing and your effort 😍😍😍

[@bristolbroussard7103]

Love this video, good place to get started. Definitely want to see the full build

[@joecowan3719]

Would love to see you gift this to some one just starting out their fitness journey in 2023 and track their progress.

[@quinnparadisemay3493]

Yes! I've been waiting for a totan pulley review! I've been wanting to buy it for some time but I want a coop stamp of approval

[@AjaychinuShah]

Lay off those vinegar fish chips and chipotle BBQ Sauce BABE.

[@colemanhuckins1181]

Definitely want to see all this put together

[@gregthirdleg]

Definitely need to see this build! Give the people what they want! Keep up the good work

[@allenblack2049]

please review the everyday essentials bumpers

[@Jesusdiaz925]

Please build this out! And have you looked at the products by major lutie? Would you recommend or avoid them?

[@patrickbenson2067]

I work at Amazon and see a lot of stuff in returns. Those essential bumpers look solid tbh

[@ShawnIsBatman]

Fantastic idea, can't wait to follow through on the build!

[@oecus2786]

Got so happy for him to mention the nordictrack only for him to say he's not getting them. Really want to see a review since I just got them. Also they are on sale if you still haven't gotten them!

[@chrisdaniels9441]

We’ll done Coop! I learn something new every time I watch your videos. Thanks for all your hard work.

[@WJones23]

Hey Coop! I just watched your previous $1000 Amazon gym vid. I’d love to see a sequel vid where let’s say someone followed through on those suggestions and wanted to add on to their gym or upgrade for an additional $1000. What would your recs be then?? Would love to know. Thank you!

[@miket.9172]

I have been sweating over buying some adjustable dumbbells. I was about to go with core+stand as it's the same price as powerblocks. Never occurred to me to just put it on a damn shelf. Thanks Coop!

[@erichumphreys3417]

I think you forgot about plate storage. Also, I'd like to see you review some selectorized gym systems. I'm getting older and working out at home without a spotter can get sketchy. I'm a former football player, and I was always used to lifting heavy. Now that I'm in my mid 50's and lifting solo at home, I just don't want to tempt fate (I already aggravated the heck out of my tennis elbow doing heavy seated shoulder presses with dumbbells). That said, I purchased a used Body-Solid selectorized gym system and I absolutely love it. I'm investing in a leg press machine this week (again, selectorized) to be able to work my legs. Anyway, I'd love to see you review home gym systems from Body-Solid, Hoist, and French Fitness. I bet there are many folks out there wondering about these as well.

[@destinationlift]

(I bought two sets on Amazon, super durable) FDE Titan Bands - Dual Layer Pull Up Assistance Resistance Bands - Set of 5

[@trickshot4272]

Id love to see the part 2 to this video personally💪👍

[@goldmanasable]

I am absolutely interested in this something really up my alley

[@amunra4256]

Would definitely be interested in a build/assembly video

[@Ecocleanpw]

This sounds like a cool and fun task. Hopefully a wonderful person/family gets to enjoy it afterwards.

[@DoopinOnion]

Excited to see a review of all the items!

[@tommyo3934]

I have the weider version of the Nordic track adjustable dumbbells and they are quite nice

[@NJD1983]

Yes install it and review it!

[@juanchacon9399]

Definitely want to see a follow up review on physically having everything and getting your opinion on the items first hand.

[@loveisrealdudes]

For sure interested. Do it Coop!!

[@chriscook5287]

Please do a review for the Everyday Essential bumper plates.

[@tlr0789]

I know I commented this on another video, but it’ll be great if you could do a ‘concrete durability’ test of some sort on different types of gym flooring E.g. dropping bumper plates and dumbells on different gym flooring and seeing if it damages the concrete etc.

[@eddymataii5749]

Regarding the Titan wall mounted cable machine, note that it has a pull of 8 pounds if you attach both cables and 4 pounds if you attach just one cable without any weight loaded. I have one, it works great but we noticed that 20 pounds didn't feel like 20 pounds so we tested each side and then both together. Also, the plastic inserts on the guide needed to be shaved on the inside because it wasn't a smooth up and down. But for the price, it was absolutely worth it.

[@MyNameIsA-Aron]

I’ve read about some people switching out the pulley system for an upgrade and has made that piece of equipment even better. I also have the short version and enjoy it, helps add various workouts to my routine

[@trunkscannon]

Definitely interested in seeing you set the gym up

[@mishellenesbit7023]

Def want to see it put together and reviewed. Also like to see a video reviewing only Amazon branded products

[@tazRenegade]

I picked up some interlocking mats from American Floor Mats for just part of the floor and I really like ‘em! Definitely will get more to finish off the area

[@cookiewolf8249]

Build it, and they will come!

[@jonathanboucher9500]

I would like to see you review the synergee stuff. Their powerrack with pulley system with all the attachments.

[@dillondingwell7074]

I need to see this Amazon garage gym build!

[@walkermorales337]

For flooring looking at repurposed materials could be a good place to look. I got a rubber mat that showed up pretty filthy, but once cleaned up it works pretty well. I think it was like 40-50 for like a 6 by 7 or 5 by 6 foot mat.

[@brennanberter8662]

I bought the black 310lb set of everyday essentials plates back on Black Friday for $340 including tax. I already had 290lbs of the same bumper plates that I had bought a couple months before that. I haven’t had any problems with them. I did also weigh all of the plates and they all weighed what they are labeled as

[@fazerian]

Excellent video, very interested for the follow up !

[@EnricoMarino13]

Everyday Essentials changed the color scheme. The 25s are now green and the 35s are yellow. I own the 55s and are nice. The rubber has a slightly rough texture which makes it easier to carry. I use the yaheetech squat stand. It is rated for up to 550lbs. Most I have squatted on it has been 315. I do have to put a counter weight for them not to move.

[@june5wed]

The review would be fun to see!

[@dannyrivera2]

Build it Coop! 😊

[@Lolablue1986]

What about rehabbing shoulder pads that can heat a shoulder up as well as a cold option.

[@ericdefratis7109]

Love to see this put together.

[@jakebell9784]

Saw the Future add, then watched your previous review video, and took the plunge. I start my first workouts this weekend and am hoping for some solid workouts and consistency with my crazy travel schedule. Actually picked a trainer that says he worked with you for a couple months Coop, so hoping for good things!

[@barrett1981]

Need to see the review on the bumpers

[@joenewton9883]

Interested in seeing a review of this setup.

[@Justlaxin13]

Definitely want to see the “after” side of this video.

[@wifeybaby4001]

Hi! Can you review stair climbers ? What’s the best one ?

[@gx12]

What is the cheapest smith machine you would recommend? Lay pull-down is a plus. 🤙

[@tylermoody2245]

Need to see the true grit air bike review

[@arcuri12]

Please show us the set up. I am starting a garage gym and would really appreciate it

[@jonathantuttle8808]

I would like to see this build. I would also like to see your opinion of the Nordic Track adjustable dumbbells 5-55#. I have these as well as PowerBlocks and I love them.

[@JJ-to6qu]

For those wire shelves, put a piece of MDF or plywood down to distribute the weight

[@dylanhaines346]

im not sure how big of a company they are, but i got most of my weights from Top Fitness. Theres a store near me, and i was able to pick up my weights for $1-1.25/lb. The prices went up the second time i went, but i believe they said theyd be locked in at $1.25 for a while afterwards. They are rubber coated grip style olympic plates. Theyve held up the last year nicely, and i recommend them highly if you can get to a store

[@chrissmith6317]

Overall good starter garage build. But you can’t get the value out of the center cable pull down and wall mounted cable machines without an assortment of cable attachments. Need to include some options and pricing.

[@tomtraill508]

seeing you make it sounds good

[@Sethlikesgolf]

Have you reviewed the HULKFIT Power Cage Squat Rack from Amazon? Looks interesting.

[@mexicanmax227]

ABSOLUTELY INTERESTED IN YOY BUILDING ALL THE AMAZON STUFF U BOUGHT!!

[@mexicanmax227]

@GarageGymReviews1 lmao

[@meatheadsgymnasium2371]

Good mooring from colorado first baby.

[@thndrcatcsc]

Id love to see a review on the bumpers.

[@masonmoss1268]

do this for sure

[@sethl.9945]

I don't think the Powerblock elite EXP sold on amazon are made in the USA. I got mine and ended up returning them because as a result the EXP kits were hard or impossible to find, and the USA EXP kits are not compatible. I ended up going with the pro exp up to 70 lbs, but at this point I would probably stick with something like Nuobell cause exercises like an overhead tricep press are uncomfortable with the cage system.

[@scottbutler5421]

I have a few items from Amazon in my home gym. It's nice to have something delivered to your door.

[@richardmather1906]

Agree on the lat pulldown/low row. Have one with my cheap rack (TDS). Lots of exercises can do, such as wood choppers, triceps stuff, etc. Disagree on bumpers. Go with iron for sure.

[@jreda2000]

The short height cable tower is well worth its price and provides about 90% of the functionality of an actual functional trainer at 1/3 the cost.

[@taylormaciow7422]

Always a fun concept. I’d like to see a bodybuilding or asthetics focused gym build. We’ve got CrossFit style gym, and power lifting. But seldom do I see body building home gym focus

[@ChrisDemeke]

I couldn't see what lighting you are referring to that is "tri-foldin" can you share the name please?

[@01Trdtundra]

would wanna see this put together especially the titan wall mount cable machine

[@DavidH373]

Fact Check for the Powerblock Knurled Handles. You can get Knurled Handles from 3rd party sites for the EXP (Made in China and sold on Amazon) as well as expansion kits. However, the Knurled handles sold officially by Powerblock are only for the USA model sold directly through them. According to Powerblock the Handles on the EXP and USA models are different and the Knurled Handles sold by them will not fit the EXP.

[@DavidH373]

By the way, without question, I love Powerblocks. I thought I wouldn't like them at first because they were boxed in, but haven't found a lot of inconvenience with that overall. I think the only thing I want to do sometimes that I can't without modification are goblet squats.

[@daywzy]

to add to this, I don't think the Powerblock elites EXP is made in the USA. They are made from china. That's why Powerblock's website sells the Powerblock elites USA version and not the EXP version. Also the expansion kits for both are not compatible with the other. USA may fit the EXP (not a full fit), but the EXP won't fit the USA.

[@fatboitino2]

A lot of good ,and previously hard designs to find, on Amazon post pandemic

[@megaman7551]

I definitely would like to see how it turned out. I personally would put a heavy bag Instead of a bike for cardio but that is just personally preference. Most people aren't into boxing

[@iceydavep]

I would love to see actual reviews of these products and preferably other "higher end" budget equipment. Realistically i will probaly be purchasing majority amazon equipment when i inevitably build my gym (to start with).

[@domnord8865]

Thanks coop!
