Man Builds $8000 GYM in His Backyard | Start to Finish Build by

[@wesconway]

This reminds me on Seinfeld - when Frank put a pool table in a spare room.

[@justbeinghonest_]

15k later and was only used for a week.... He realised that working out in a space the size of a bathroom was not fun...😂

[@Leland387]

Pretty cool but good luck putting weights on

[@stuzman]

Nice shed!

[@JohnBookout-li2ip]

Really nice shed it’s gotta be kind a rough loading the plates on the bar

[@dh12.]

There is plenty of room unless you're a klutz

[@Sldumas1983]

Awesome 👏🏾

[@Boxtruckin]

All the people complaining about the size probably don’t even work out. Prisoners work out in 6 x 9 cells and I work out inside my semi tractor. This is a nice separate addition to a house.

[@matthewchavezm.b.s5503]

With the cost of gyms these days, it will only take about 16 to 20 years to break even on that.

[@autumnfeldpausch5539]

That’s all the space I need. Like it.

[@avilest66]

Great for an office space. 👍🏾 amazing job 🙌🏾

[@minoritymind]

Gym membership $50/mo time 12mo = $600 annually. For $600 a year, I can workout whenever I want for the most part, I don't have to clean the place, I'm not responsible for maintenance, I can meet people with similar interests, and if I move I can just transfer gyms. Not to menon my gold's membership is actually on $25/mo.

[@mindyours752]

Should have made the room wider. Given that bar or weights will 100% hit those walls eventually given how close the bar ends are to them. Also get some floor mats. Great work but you definitely need to expand the room or repurpose it

[@evilhobbes]

It's a machine. The weight bar is on a track. No side movement.

[@mindyours752]

@@evilhobbes Still adding weights to the side for his squats seems rather difficult for how its stationed. Yet to esch their own.

[@lmjeanmaire]

This is so stupid. He built an $8k room to hold a single piece of equipment 🙄

[@ijl-cy9pp]

​@@mindyours752 Yeah he's 100% going to mark those walls loading the plates.

[@scottjacoby5297]

You can build your gym wider.

[@Motivate_and_Meditate]

Great job, impressive craftsman ship.

[@shahariluz8973]

All this trouble for one device?

[@jackbits6397]

The walls are going to get dinged up in the first day. And that fancy floor destroyed

[@nativeson2633]

Thousands of dollars to hold a rack?

[@benjaminb3295]

Nice building. Basement or gym membership may have been easier though..

[@CadillacGregg309]

What about AC and Heating?

[@dannybosun5158]

Very very entertaining. You did a great job on the gym AND the video. Enjoy….

[@jessarellanes6648]

This is nice. Thank you.

[@cliffordsmith428]

Very nicely done. 💪🏾💯👏🏾☺️

[@mikeg.2222]

Nice build, my only concern is the space between the barbell and the walls to load weight on it. I would have gone with a stacked weight cage instead.

[@twescher]

well done my friend ✔️

[@gabegonzalez63]

Wow it’s amazing

[@leslieking3974]

Neat, one of the best builds

[@lorrainemclay3343]

Looks great. 👋😀🇭🇲👋

[@dawontylerfulse2196]

Nice🎉

[@bigjayinga]

Wow. That was great. I know you will have some good workouts

[@kensg]

Nice. Job…congrats 🎉

[@mikegarcia5943]

Cool sewing room. Somebody didn't measure their equipment first.

[@slimilacraft7676]

Nice

[@brianleblanc2758]

Nice closet

[@raulguzman1297]

Stagger your drywall because it will crack.

[@willhikearizona]

I think they put the joint tape on then mud, but I think you usually put a layer of mud then put the tape and mud over it.

[@CadillacGregg309]

Well, if he gets tired of using it as a gym, he can turn it into a small studio, add a sink, and small refrigerator, add a toilet and a shower. Can always add to it for the bathroom. If the city allows, could have extra income. He might not want the aggravation. Or could be small Air BNB.

[@jonathanklopf7581]

very nice,

[@rodriosilva8317]

Exelente job!!!

[@fivecrosses9040]

I like the building. I would have mixed up some concrete instead of the deck. So much easier to maintain.

[@robwright819]

Just curious how you’re gonna get plates on either end of the barbell with the walls so close to each end. Great looking setup otherwise.

[@michaelburke3701]

Nice F'ing job!!!!!!

[@joseibanez8913]

Ya que te pones a hacerlo y se ve claramente que eres un trabajador increible a mi modesto entender unos cuantos metros cuadrados mas no hubiesen venido nada mal, aun asi la obra es genial.

[@livelife5309]

This is really nice I want one but I would want a bigger room for more equipment. Double the size of this structure I saw a 3 in 1 treadmill elliptical and stairclimber machine. A bike The workout mirror/personal trainer. Investing into a more solid foundation is a good idea.

[@zurimaxwell8854]

Great job and looks awesome, but need to be about 8 ft wider unless he doesn’t plan on putting anything on the bars.

[@davidmcdonald4199]

Used concrete blocks on top of the ground for the building foundation then cemented the deck foundation into the ground, am dumfounded. And as commented below, going to difficult to load and use the machine in such a tight space.

[@bobvucinic7504]

Harumph!

[@nickynadzz307]

Man you guys are rough with the comments, half of you can't even measure a board correctly...your all focused on space and cost of gym membership, that man just slightly raised his property value and now has a room to escape his wife...this man just made a freedom room which made his house worth more.... genius

[@brandonbanks5290]

Would’ve been better off with a collapsible bench and squat rack and a dedicated pulley station in the corner. Saves room

[@BrianBeauchamp]

Man finishes gym then locks his wife inside until she looks like she did when they were dating. He’s patient. 😂😂

[@clementfauchere3528]

Working better than my contractor

[@DP12277]

Awesome talent! But I agree you should’ve made it two feet wider on each side

[@KatherineHollyday]

Building is very air tight. There is no natural ventilation or HVAC. Might get a bit steamy in there.

[@livelife5309]

Windows with screens will come in handy.

[@scottjacoby5297]

You didn't see the door and two windows?

[@lionardodafinshi]

😂❤fantastic

[@mistermaykul]

So are those cross embedded cinder blocks something genius they created?

[@bambi7154]

With such dedication u should have built it bigger

[@marcelmallory2761]

How are you going to load plates onto the bar?

[@bengully5076]

Nice build. Beautiful work. Size way too small for a Gym

[@williecutter5531]

You built an 8000$ building, not a 8000$ gym lol.

[@nickwilliams7511]

After all that and there’s just a single smith machine in there lmao

[@craigrodger3628]

That's one very expensive garden shed...

[@RDUnitedTV]

What adjustable bench is that?

[@Grafikartizt]

So the gym itself cost $8,000, not the structure that he built. Because that was a lot more than $8,000 worth of materials. 💯

[@danielpienaar87]

How do you get the plates on the bar?

[@hewbranford]

All of that just to house couple of dumb bells really??!! Cigar lounge more appropriate 😂

[@tomwilliams5137]

8000 huh?? My PF membership is only &20/ month and they’re open 24/7. So, yeahhhh…great job there, man!

[@Lazarus-nw1ve]

His gym his rules. Just a guess here but I do believe that his gym is open 24/7, his own sweat his own cleanup and no one else to follow behind from the 50 that used it before him. Besides, if he wants to grunt he can grunt and he can do it without the socialized dating engagements hugged up around a machine in leotards and spandex. He workout to "his" own standard and not "jump" in a line or from a line waiting that is already wet from sweat or soap. His membership is free while it increasing a personal equity. Damn good job. Cat-Fishing be damned same with the scenic walk-arounds. Flirting stays at home.

[@llamabahama4654]

at the end it said $15,000

[@Splendidtrucker1235]

The foundation is a joke isnt it¿

[@1ForTheShieldz]

Nuts isn't it. All that weight resting on mud on a couple of blocks 😂 I guess it's temporary ... weird to put foam insulation open to the elements as well. At least put proper foundations down and then insulation. Not going to cost them loads more given the cost of this anyway.

[@1ForTheShieldz]

Also what loon puts sine glazing in at the top after all this cost and effort and insulation 😂

[@allenayuninjam7896]

My first thought as well

[@HappyBeeTV-BeeHappy]

It'll be cold in the wintertime.

[@allenzackery1639]

And that raisees the question of ventilation..? Regardless of heat ...

[@allenzackery1639]

Your foundation will probably move around from freeze and thaw . Sitting on block grade..! Ventilation would also be necessary for moisture and heat ...! Electrical wires are stapled within six inches of the (any) box... Keep up the good work 👍

[@joelapp]

He built a very expensive shed. The “gym” - which is the exercise equipment- could have gone anywhere.

[@hissingoose]

$8000.00 build cost. Monthly gym membership: $25. Well, this'll start saving money in 27 years. It’ll probably sink into the ground well before then.

[@scottjacoby5297]

LOL. Now calculate the time and expense to drive to the gym every day. Now calculate the added value to the home with the addition of this structure. If you think $8000 is a lot of money, it's not for you. You should probably save your money.

[@kevinberniebarron7548]

Great job! One problem, for me, I would have at least used "sonotubes" and poured concrete below the frost line! With a structure that you will use for years, a good "foundation" is essential!

[@paul_fredrick]

Dumbest construction project video I've ever watched. And I've watched thousands of them. No foundations. Not even pilings. A "gym" where you can fit just one machine, and you cannot walk around it. A deck with a railing to protect you from falling into the 10-inch abyss below. I can go on all day...

[@DukeBales]

Why not have a concrete foundation

[@GeorgeVassilakis-g7l]

Bro, that ain’t no gym, it’s an oversized dog house!😂

[@franklunt8975]

What the F' is the picture on screen for. Just fu'*ING click bait. '

[@bradymartin8400]

Could’ve put more effort into the actual structure and install weight platforms so you don’t dent the wood floor

[@many_lives4925]

How do people who build stuff like this pay for all the materials? It's gotta cost thousands right?

[@danverderosa]

How do you add plates to the bar?..........

[@TheAIGhostwriter_MinorMiracle]

yo how sweltering is that gym holy crap the amount of insulation for a room where you will be sweating and breathing heavy

[@VGCor]

Что??? И всё это сложное и технологичное строительство ради мини спортзала размером с туалет??? Вот оно - рациональное использование ресурсов.

[@Jeeksters]

The gym was $500 and the room itself was the rest of the 7500 e

[@JS-up8tk]

Well built but why so small?

[@CrazyCatMan-y1t]

Looks cute

[@bizhop2]

Should just tagged the video as a diy backyard mini guess house/room.

[@toddlambert8550]

Where's the angry face button

[@chyrochnik]

Это сооружение построено до первого урагана. Улетит вместе со спортивным инвентарем.😄

[@nnapsR]

it is not wide enough there is no room to put plates on the bar

[@JACKD333]

Funny, all you did was glue the deck down to plastic sheathing. No real adhesion to any framing. Good luck with that.

[@jackbits6397]

$8000? Looks more like $80,000 to me

[@renebaltazar3527]

I’m don’t know I think it’s a minie gym 😂

[@ricpruneda3563]

Pretty sure that cost more than 8 grand.

[@Pearcewreck]

Ahh, regret will hit hard on this one. 1. Just sitting it on the ground with no sunk foundations in the ground will mean the whole thing will move every step you take. 2. Way too narrow.

[@seedling15-pp9tj]

Isn’t Planet Fitness like $10/month?

[@jamieparker6465]

Must have been the wife’s ideal

[@ursem2428]

The hut cost a pretty penny ! Why build like this?

[@jonjackalone504]

Bro mad a prison cell

[@reapermack7415]

Use it as a bunkie to small for a gym waste of space for 1 piece of gym equipment

[@fullertx02]

Your posts for the deck in contact with the dirt (right at the surface) will rot through in about 10 years.

[@ice2chill]

All that work just to install one equipment 😢😅

[@davidwright5757]

Thumbnail is misleading

[@Terry-v2v]

You could have bought a shed for cheaper 😂😂😂😂

[@joshlebus8527]

Beautiful..but colossal waste of time and energy for so little space.

[@CrimsoNaga]

Clickbait much?

[@dh12.]

The title gives an exact description of what the video is, and you have a problem with that? Wow

[@FilthyPeasantGaming]

​@@dh12. I think its because the title says 8000 gym but right at the end the guy says it cost him 15k to build lol

[@lmjeanmaire]

Nice misleading cover photo. You spent $8k building a free standing structure smaller than most walk-in closets all for a single piece of equipment that doesn’t have adequate clearance. Bravo 🙄

[@simonramirez243]

Too much trouble for only 1 machine ..’sorry not great
