I Built My Parents a $25K Dream Home Gym!

Yup starting with my garage

@@davidhenderson1738 , Then my gym next

[@BasementBrandon]

You know why I'm here. A dream gym is def in the basement.

[@rarepower]

@BasementBrandon Coop missed the shout out to you for the worst place to put a gym, I was thoroughly surprised haha

[@MIDTOWNE1]

You being the basement gym aficionado surely you were consulted prior to and throughout this project? Yes?

[@BasementBrandon]

@@MIDTOWNE1 Yes, Coops parents and I have a weekly call to discuss all things Coop 😜

[@jodykoubsky4949]

Love these videos where you help others out! I'm an immunocompromised cancer survivor, so a home gym is my only option now. Would love to see you help others out in similar situations. I love your honest equipment reviews, but inspirational stories with home gym builds are my favorite.

[@fwiffo42]

It’s great to see a build like this in a smaller space. We all want 3-car garage sized gyms, but not everyone has the space for that.

[@prxperformance]

This is so true!

[@daemon_Sevin]

Y’all might need to start doing more builds like this. Seems like a natural evolution of the channel

[@NGENCustomsandPerformance]

Definitely more gym builds. Or better yet, home gym makeovers! That would be a cool series where you go to different home gym setups and then “coopify” them. That would be really cool.

[@johnwesley2943]

Sam's advert for the flooring was incredible.

[@masonbutler3519]

Do more! Want to see other home gyms

[@chronomasakari]

Imagine retiring from power lifting with a 720lb squat @ 220 and having a son who doesn’t even lift.

[@GarageGymReviews]

Now that's funny lol - Coop

[@ronburgandy7571]

It was 750 fool. Get it right. 😊

[@Thebodfitness]

🤣🤣

[@GraveyFit]

Really enjoy the gym builds, especially the give away gym renovation. ❤

[@nathan_middleton_]

What I like about the idea of a home gym build series is not only do we get to see some potentially very nice home gym setups, but no doubt each home gym will come with its unique challenges when designing. I like the idea of seeing how you choose to use the space and get as much function out of it as possible for the needs of the user.

[@JoYo6167]

Nice build Coop..it is awesome that your taking care of your mom and dad and I'm sure they appreciate it

[@christopherlopez9207]

This is so cool! I’m actually doing the same thing right now with my folks. Since I never shut up about home gyms and GGR for the last 3 years, I’ve finally made my mom want her own. Got her the bowlex 552s, and the rep zero gap bench to start. Thanks for all the inspiration and great content!!!

[@joeyg283]

This is what I would like to do for my parents too. Nice set up! I’m sure your parents really appreciate it. You should become a home gym build consultant!

[@scrappylifter8318]

You're a good son! My only suggestion is changing the ceiling fan with one that is flush mount.

[@justinpeterson817]

Bring your pops out. Love to hear his old war stories. Lifting stories!

[@BillLinAZ]

As a home gym owner, I love seeing the builds.

[@J-Goy1813]

Okay okay okay, the gym is amazing. But can we get a CRIBs of your patents house. This place looks amazing. Also Side note, love the garage builds and tours. Be super cool to see Subscriber home gym remodels or even just seeing crazy at home gyms of anyone. Keep it up.

[@josephramos3663]

Love the gym builds. I would also like to series related to see gym tours to see how others utilize their space to build their home gyms just to get the ideas flowing on what can be possible especially in small spaces or a limited budget.

[@coolcatrich]

Garage Gym Reviews needs a contractor portion of the website where all they do is videotape making gyms for people. Like a homebuilder show but for garage gyms/ basement gyms! Expand your horizons garage gym reviews!

[@meisdetermined]

Parents gym in the basement? This will please Sir Brandon.

[@SweatiestToes]

This shall definitely please The Almighty Lord Basement

[@julianmuller766]

yes, more like this please. This was a nice break from the reviews.

[@broke602]

Loved to see more builds or again what other people have built in the garages. Great video thanks!

[@alanlalonde6506]

Love the Gym tour, definitely would appreciate if you could try to link up with home gym honors with physics. They built with their home gym. Also, I heard that CBUM has a home gym now.

[@bearforce187]

Love the gym builds, more of these please.

[@MJ1331EL]

W Son. Would love to see more senior friendly setups. this is something i'm trying to also make for my folks.

[@earthsongmassage1]

Love the gym builds. One concern, the ceiling fan when using the pull up bar on the new rack, and not get guillotined when the thing is rotating up there….

[@DampRaccoon]

Budget oriented build with the most expensive pieces at $2.2k and $600 yet we're at $20k per video title. I know this wasn't supposed to be budget oriented but I'm not sure how everything else adds up to $17k.

[@Dan-ee9oe]

I was wondering the same thing. I'm just not seeing $25k of equipment, even with the flooring.

[@bradlytalbott7388]

Do more gym tours and gym builds

[@samsmith8643]

More builds and tours please!!

[@Jay30k]

Yes, do reviews in bowflex stations, total gyms, ect.

[@joelfarmer7953]

Great job guys! Loved the gym tour. Please do more. Would love to see more comparisons of functional trainers. Need help picking one.

[@johnsigh5220]

You mentioned that your dad had back surgery, & therefore no longer squats. Have you tried, & reviewed the SquatMax-MD? Good stuff Maynard.👍🏻

[@jamestonbellajo]

The other Garage Gym (Lab) guy did a detailed review on it. A really good one.

[@bazintrickways3045]

100% like to see more builds. This was awesome

[@scottywood6380]

Your a great son, I'm sure your parents are proud of you. You can build me a gym if you want. I just need a garage built, loads of money and for you to come to the UK 🇬🇧.

[@JoseSuarez-bk3qg]

You are a good son for hooking up your parents with cool gym equipment. 🎉

[@richt5986]

Definitely more gym builds. Very cool 😎

[@kevinfrederick6277]

Excellent video - you are a great son! My upgrades would include mounting a few mirrors (wherever your parents think it would be most valuable) and ditch that bulbous fan with something more streamlined to promote airflow and gain overhead space. Again, this was an excellent video and would appreciate this as a parent! You're the man Coop or "Cooper"!

[@TorBoy9]

Nice home gym, much more bare bones than you usually do, and more applicable to most of us. They still have a lot more space than I do. I'd also like to see more home gym builds.

[@ak-zw8jv]

Definitely more gym builds!

[@johnpocks2859]

Subtle jab at Brandon with the "unfortunate" 🤣

[@MagDumpsBicepPumps]

Coop doesn't even lift but his parents do?!?! Kidding coop, love you.

[@beautyofgrace3915]

[@jyoung10]

Would like to see comparisons of inverted leg press machines. That Titan looks nice.

[@Merky42]

Add Mirrors! Dad needs to see the pump!

[@preston0808]

Nice Coop! Solid setup. Get those lights replaced with flat LEDs!

[@billtufts4304]

Love the builds and reviews.

[@thomaslau7879]

Love gym build vids, keep them up!

[@yorkiepit]

I have the Titan leg press, it's great, but spin the leg press around so the headrest is towards the wall, not away from the wall, seems counterintuitive, but it makes getting in and out of it 10 times easier.

[@thomasbrown7328]

Darn it I wanted to hear the old man speak about powerlifting in the 80’s! Some old war tales, ya know?

[@GarageGymReviews]

May have to bring him on in the future. Have some old videos.

[@thomasbrown7328]

@@GarageGymReviews as Coop mentioned a huge part of the reason to build and use a garage gym is showing our kids that we have the discipline to exercise in our free time and grind out some reps and get sweaty and uncomfortable. Probably safe to safe we wouldn’t have GGR if not for Coop’s dad’s influence. I can still envision my old man plugging away on his NordicTrack in the 80’s and mom doing some ballet moves at her home ballet barre. My kids will play around with the slam balls and med balls and bands and the nordic curl while I’m working out. They’re learning good form on kettlebell swings and the oldest is now pushing her 5’s on the trap bar deadlift. So yes please get a long interview with Coop’s dad pretty please.

[@av7899]

Coops dad is a beast 750 at 220 is extremely impressive

[@lifekicks3483]

[@johnwesley2943]

Doing pull ups when the ceiling fan is on looks lethal.

[@brettpearson4379]

this shows the potential of what you can do in a small basement space.

[@ericvault]

Coop! Where is the paint, updated trim, mirrors, fans, stereo system, updated lighting!?? You can do better! 😂 Surely we'll see a parents gym version 2?

[@OptimalTraining]

I agree, a low profile would do the trick.

[@thoselog]

Got dang 100% I need to see a series of Bowflex-related videos. We're talking like 10 episodes here.

[@jCHASEm87]

My dude. That rack WITHOUT the pullup bar or stabilizer is $1,175 shipped. $850 MSRP. I'm keenly aware because I'm trying to justify the 50% markup from Rogue

Hey i think that gym also needs some mirrors so that your dad can flex into it after a hard set of bench press

[@dc242905]

Coop/videographer Nathan, how does the Titan leg extension/curl compare to the isolator? I know the isolator has more functionality, but I’d mainly use it for legs anyway. Comparisons for range of motion, seat stability, weight capacity, even pressure across both legs during use would be greatly appreciated!

Coop's dad: Best son would have built us a dream home 😉😋

[@krisroadruck5081]

Can you give some sort of price breakdown? The title is $20K home gym - was the flooring just really expensive? I'm in the process of outfitting my basement and looking at what that room looks like and that pricetag I'm feeling like there is a big gotcha on my horizon that I'm somehow missing. I've got a set of 5-50lb DBs from rep + a victory stand, a full SS double diamond barbell, urethane equalizer plates, blackwing bench, and getting ready to buy a power rack w/ athena + Lat/Low + full stack upgrades on both and this is still under $10K. Feels like I am missing something and the only thing I can fathom is that I need to be ready for some serious sticker shock when I go to do rubberized flooring...

[@ExpeditionaryRanger]

How is that barbell??? Thinking hard about one or a Rogue 2x Aggro.

[@krisroadruck5081]

@@ExpeditionaryRanger I'll tell you when it arrives in like 3 weeks =/. I ordered it beginning of last month but the lead time with newer stuff from rep is annoyingly long. The blackwing took about 6 weeks to arrive as well, though it was worth the wait. Thing is built like a tank, super happy with it.

[@krisroadruck5081]

Sigh - doesn't respond, but does update the title to be even more expensive at $25K vs the $20K it was at time of upload.

[@MurphGymExperiment]

I came to the comments to see if anyone asked. My only guess was flooring cost or the cost of that install company? Seemed inflated at $25k

Coop , great, but that ceiling fan is awfully close to the pull up bar. A bit scary to have that going that close to the bar. Maybe change the light fittings.

I ordered a sample from that second skin company and it still smells like rubber. I just hit the link below. Is there a specific one that doesn’t smell?
