I bought a garden shed and decided to build a budget home gym inside. You can too. The most important criteria in nearly every potential home gym build is the cost. "How can I build a home gym on a budget?! It seems impossible."
Although it's hard to do so on $500, it can be done.
The other issue is the difficulty in finding a space to build a gym. Some people live in small homes with no basements and the inability to put a gym in their garage.
So, I want to show you how I built a budget home gym in a garden shed.

Even $300 barbells is certainly not "budget". I've trained at commercial gyms where the barbells weren't that good. You can get a decent bar for half of that that will do the job just fine unless you mean to do olympic lifting (ie drop it) or you can deadlift 700lbs. And the real smart option on a budget is to get it second hand for even less.

[@radred609]

@@AD-ui6sk $750 will get you a great mountain bike or an absolutely amazing road/hybrid bike. For a stationary bike you really don't need to spend anywhere near that amount.

Not that I'm judging, it's just a case of different strokes for different folks.

[@user-vq7ip6qe9r]

I'm surprised with some of the negative reviews. I was so impressed with the kzbin.infoUgkxMwYg0MOXR4M-oGeyBsNSYe1aPOUoRH6D cage that I got the lat pulldown attachment that goes with it. It is equally outstanding. I don't have one complaint other than putting it together is a job. The instructions and packaging of the parts are very well designed and organized. Also, I stripped and damaged the pull down cable the first day, admitting it was my stupid fault, and they quickly replaced it at no charge. I'm 6'5, 280lbs and fit in the cage just fine. Glenn B

[@REPfitness]

This is pretty solid! But I would recommend a few swaps for people searching for a good budget setup... 1) The standard spin lock dumbbells for about $100 for 100lb per dumbbell... not as fancy, but gives you more weight for far less cost. Swapping plates doesn't take THAT long and it saves you $500+ on that alone. 2) The other change would definitely be our PR-1100 Power Rack... relatively compact, safeties for safer lifting at home/alone, plastic lined j-cups, a better pull up bar, and is around $249 vs what was shown in this vid is $449. It is a lifelong rack of for those lifting 400lb+? No, but it does the job for 90%+ of people and has attachments for those looking to upgrade down the road to do cable curls, lat pull down, tricep rope work, low rows, landmine, etc. 3) Next would be our FB-3000 or FB-4000 over that amazon bench... for a bit more money, you get an 11 gauge bench with a 1,000lb weight rating. The amazon basic bench lists "maximum of 385 lbs". This actually adds about $50, but if you weigh 200lbs and benching over 175lbs... you're not concerned about a weight rating. 4) Finally, get a nice colored covered battle rope swap for $100 vs $300. Big improvements, and an overall cost savings approx $850. Easily could save $1,000+ if you're working on a budget with a few other modifications.

[@ItsAze]

I felt so bad ordering an adjustable bench from the "other guys" knowing the reviews REPs had. But no stock :'(. Please forgive me, REP.

[@REPfitness]

@@ItsAze All good! Our battle ropes and benches I mentioned above are both in stock. Coop is right, the soft plyo box that he recommends is a big seller for us since it doesn't wobble/topple as bad as many others sold. We actually all lift at REP, so we wouldn't sell something that just topples over easily on a missed jump.

[@bmstylee]

@@REPfitness any chance the plate tree or 9 barbell holder will ever be back in stock?

[@fencingrocks3]

I know you're kinda pimping your own products here, but I gotta agree on all counts. Also, a Reverse Hyper should never be in a budget anything, especially one with limited space. It does one thing, and takes up a lot of space, even if it's the portable one like this.

[@REPfitness]

@@fencingrocks3 Haha yes. I just think people should look at some alternatives that may be better for them, and save them money.

[@Hogrider177]

Adding some insulation and a vapor barrier would be a nice addition to help protect against rust and corrosion. That's gonna be a huge factor in the winter especially if you heat the room and cause condensation.

[@novyx1]

This is awesome, I really appreciate the info on shed sizing! I’d considered this for myself but wasn’t sure what the sweet spot for dimensions was. Keep it up coop!

[@SorrowfulXHawk]

Just be careful with moisture/condensation build up and rust. I built a shed gym last winter and after a while i noticed my barbell rusting much faster than normal, and plates/dumbbell handles being slick wet with my breath/sweat condensing on the cold surfaces. Summer wasn't as bad but keeping up with the cleaning is something i didn't do :/

[@ligmaballs0911]

I thought about this. Not to mention risk of critters

[@djdasko8798]

When I bought my last house, it came with a 9'x11' TuffShed. I put down another layer of 3/4" tongue and groove flakeboard, wired and insulated things. Then, set up my Rogue R-3 and covered the floor with stall mats. Iron pipe on the wall for plate storage, Rogue barbell hangers, bands, and IronMaster dumbbells, one flat bench, and a Rogue AB-3. Things were a little tight, not much room to get the plates on the barbell, but I used that gym for like six years, and I miss it.

[@marrob357]

Sweet!! Something like this never crossed my mind because I live in the midwest and the gym wouldn't get used during the winter months. But is you're in a warm climate area of the country, this is sweet idea.

[@HickLif3]

Couple ideas- If you wanted to do olympic lifting inside you could add at least one more layer of plywood on top of the floor going the opposite direction of the stuff that is already there. Also when it is placed make sure you have probably double the supports underneath than what is recommended. both of those will help distribute the load more. Better yet, don't go prefab, they cut a lot of corners typically and if you build it yourself it will be cheaper and better constructed (assuming you do it properly). Use 2x8s, 2x10s, or even 2x12s for the joists and consider doubling them for even more strength and again ¾" plywood doubled, or even better 1" tongue and groove doubled with opposing directions. DO NOT USE ANY TYPE OF PARTICLE BOARD FOR THE FLOOR. Also- just buy a good plate carrier and real quality armor plates (not steel), that way you can train with it, load it out with what you would carry on it, and you could actually use it if need be. If you want more weight get the rogue cast plates and swap them out.

A couple peeps asked about floor reinforcement…adding an extra sheet of 1/2 or even better 3/4 OSB will reinforce the floor for occasional drops (just screw it down on top of the existing floor). Nice project, looks like a dope space! So much to love here, great job!! Only minor things I’d recommend: a full safety rack if lifting alone for squats and bench. Also, fingers pointed out (vs forward) on those body weight bench dips is a little better for rotator cuffs 😇.

COOP! I watched this video a couple months ago and purchased the Elite FTS bands you mentioned. Thank you so much for the recommendation! They're the best I've gotten.

[@cbagot1]

I move every few years for work, so I’ve had to build out a full gym that is also easily broken down and adaptable to myriad spaces. A half rack, set of irons, set of bumpers, adjustable dumbbells (I went with power blocks over a decade ago), an FID bench, and a solid set of bands with attachments to fill in for cable machines as needed is perfect. Garages, office rooms, spare bedrooms in the basement, and split between rooms around the house have all been configs due to either space or noise constraints (nobody wants to hear someone sharing a wall or floor/ceiling while you’re clopping on a treadmill at 0430) This shed pretty much hits it spot on. I’m looking to settle down in the next few years and one of my “musts” has been a gym space in the house, but I’ve never really given much thought to dropping it in a shed. Only thing missing is a magical space saving leg press.

[@mikegaming3826]

Great insight, I always thought of eventually having a gym in my house, but this is also a great alternative. Not sure why everyone is bitching about the budget, he offered a ton of alternatives to the more expensive items. Fill it with whatever equipment you have/want that fits your budget. Doesn't have to be all set up overnight either... think big picture people, you could accumulate this over a year or so and have a sick gym.

Excellent job. My second gym was a 16×20 shed i built wen i was 15.

[@Safestassets]

I have the 97.5 lbs version of the Baadass Dumbells. Here is my quick review. The steel is extremely high quality, better than anything I have used in the past. I can't imagine you ever damaging them. They are also accurate. I weighed each plate and every single plate was spot on except the 12.5 lbs plates. All 8 of the 12.5 lbs plates came in at 12.8 lbs. Not a problem for me. When assembled they do not rattle and they haven't loosened once so far. Although the plates are secure it's worth noting that they take a little bit longer to change than the Ironmasters. Again, not an issue since the Iron Masters haven't been in stock in ages. This probably makes them safer than the Ironmasters as well. The owner seemed friendly when I called to make an order and they arrived within 3 business days. Another important feature is that they are made in Canada, not China. However, although the materials used are high quality, I did notice there was some slop in the machining process because the plates are not all perfectly round. This might be a problem for those of you with OCD but I don't mind. Furthermore, the stickers and paint are low quality. The plates arrived pretty scuffed up and the stickers were barely legible because they were scratched up so bad. Thankfully the stickers peeled off easy (I hated them anyway). The paint also chips easily so don't bang them together too hard. Not a big deal because the stickers and paint can easily be fixed. As long as you don't mind a few cosmetic blemishes, I highly recommend this product. They will last a lifetime.

I have a similar setup in a 9x12 shed. It's very tight but the worst part is that the roof is gabled so the roof is low at either side wall which further restricts the headroom. I still have enough space for a 20-in deep squat rack, barbell rack, pull up bar with rings, a trap bar, a few dumbbells up to 100s, and a Titan short cable pulley that I had to cut down to about 5 ft tall to fit in the corner. It gets a little claustrophobic sometimes.

I guess as long as I can fit a rack, bar, and a bench with enough room to use them then I can find a place for some adjustable dumbbells and other odds+ends.

[@defeatignorance8681]

@@jessim312 You can strengthen the floor for very little cash, but it will take some work. 1" flooring and add 2×6 joists underneath and you would be surprised at the weight it could handle. If you want serious integrity go with 4×4s. And add a few 6×6 footers. A couple hundred extra dollars and it would be able to survive pretty much anything you could throw at it.

Common sense should tell you that deadlifts should not be done in there.

[@trin0042]

I’m disappointed “shred shed” was never mentioned. :)

I miss having a home gym. I had a basement setup with a power rack with pullup bar - a bench - a barbell - a bunch of plates and a holder - a bit of grip strength stuff - and a bicycle on a trainer. So I had everything that I wanted in a very simple way. Bought all the weightlifting stuff on craigslist or facebook for like $200.

[@alanouellette]

Flippin' GREAT idea. Thank Coop

[@sferrin2]

My OCD kicks in every time he puts a plate on backwards.

[@defeatignorance8681]

That's how they're designed to go on the bar. They go backwards on the bar, face out on the rack. You put them backwards so you can get all 8 of your fingers on the lip when placing and removing the plate.

He said “budget” gym this man spent over 10,000 for this gym

[@chavez349]

He has a lot of useless stuff. Also most of the stuff he has is over priced.

Should of had some help i could of built him a beast gym for 10k

It never occurred to me to put a flag in my gym. It would be a great way to remind me which country that I live in as I'm working out. Thanks for the tip. Cheers!

700? Coop being modest. We all know he's lifting over.........1000 pounds!!!!!!!

[@YUNGSVGE]

Great video, This was the plan for me do just to get my stuff out of my parents crammed garage. (they converted it into a second living room) But one thing you failed to mention is the flooring for deadlifts do you think that we will be able to deadlift in the shed or will we be better off just having a cheap gym membership so we don't destroy our 1960's flooring haha.

[@senormango3758]

Nice options, thanks for the video

[@JohnLowry]

Coop, I gotta say with the stache and that hat, you remind me of Sergeant Slaughter. It is kinda bad ass.

Now that's a compliment. Way better than the guy that said I looked like Private Pyle.

Those kettle grips are stronger than the recommended weight limit too. I've done farmers carries with barbells at 275 pounds per hand

Coop looks like a old timey train conductor with that starting strength hat and stache 🤣 The conductor to the gainz train! 🤣

[@davel3616]

Extremely cool! KZbin must be treating you pretty well if $4k is “budget”. For those who’s idea of budget is more in the $200 range, I recommend a good ceiling mounted pull-up bar, a kettlebell, and a jump rope.

[@blg020]

For real I want a pull up bar right now and even that's not in my budget.

[@davidperks1973]

I’m surprised KZbin allowed this video with the American flag so prominently displayed!

$750 conditioning tool in a budget gym lol. A good pair of running shoes is the best conditioning tool you’ll ever have 😂

I'd argue a $5 skip rope is better

[@heeebeeegeeebeee]

[@calvinbarriga195]

I’ve actually built a budget shed gym for way less. But I built the shed the squat rack and a cable system. Hang a rope to climb you know all that good cheap stuff. I spent the most on weights, bumper plate set.

“Budget” but has rogue bumpers lol

[@RustySprouts]

Love the idea, but this video is pushing the term “budget”.

[@ry2456]

First product for a shed to be used for anything other than storing yard tools should be good insulation. Second would be lighting of some sort. Heat\cooling? I have a 12x20 shed and I have used it to work out. That is only comfortable for a small amount of the year.

[@chickenlurkinyungchihuahua]

That's a badass gym! I'm working towards saving up for a house and a gym. Long way to go :')
