Man Builds A Complete Budget Home Gym in Laundry Room!

[@_purge9488]

Moral of the story, Sam deserves a raise.

[@benp2151]

seriously

[@loschimichangas1767]

Could've let em have the shed gym at least

[@KenanTurkiye]

I think Sam deserves more than a big raise also big respect for building a very smart home gym, very impressed ! it's easy lashing out money and building an impressive workout area, doing it with a limited budget is what many of us including me are jugling to do. Good work Sam !

[@ak-zw8jv]

Or let him take some free shit that coop reviews!

[@kevincarter7633]

Exactly

[@mikefoster282]

This home gym is probably closer to reality for most of your followers. It's more inspiring to see someone who is making it work on a budget versus someone with a mega checking account who goes out and buys the nicest of everything. Thanks!!

[@marvellstarks2434]

For Christmas you definitely should do a show and surprise him with a gym makeover upgrade. Your fans will love it

[@ronburgandy7571]

Excellent idea.

[@DavidDoingLife]

[@DampRaccoon]

Sam seems like a simple man that prefers to provide for himself. At least that's what I envision, because it's a little odd (not wrong, just odd) being Coop's #2, who has everything, or access to/connections to everything... and here Sam is watching budget items for small price drops over months. Major props to Sam!

[@thomasbrown7328]

Now let’s see the Sam transformation! TransformaSam!

[@OptimalTraining]

Coop, please do more small gym reviews its nice to see the thought process that owner puts into them. I also like to see more videos of people building their own Coop Squat and other space-saving idea's for these small spaces.

[@zfortyounce]

This is really cool. I love when someone makes an earnest effort to make a positive life change. Way to go Sam.

[@joecowan3719]

Love this type of video, will definitely help people who never thought they had enough room for a home gym! Thanks Coop and Sam!

[@jamestonbellajo]

I’m so happy for Sam. I can tell he has such a good attitude about everything. Wish you the best, big guy!

[@cadenresendez9981]

I feel like Sam’s situation with the equipment he buys is very relatable. Often times I feel like I see videos from equipment channels and they call something a “budget pick” and it ends up being like $500. This video shows that unless you are super picky and serious about gym equipment. You probably won’t notice if a knob on a bench “feels” expensive or if the powder coat is “bad”. Most people don’t actually sweat the small details and what you can afford is oftentimes times perfect for what you are trying to accomplish.

[@dabbott927]

I really enjoyed this video. It feels a lot more relevant to those just starting their home gym. Of all the home gym reviews I've seen on this channel, this one felt most like what I've got at home. A+

[@mrkang4080]

SAM, I had similar issues but I'm OLD, which is 10x worse. You'll appreciate the life change, good luck!

[@rickgsink225]

Its time to get ready for the summer. All year working from home fat just built up on me like crazy. I will start with some short workouts in my home gym which I built a year ago. Also I found really nice meal plan at Next Level Diet. I hope this combo will get me in shape. If not, there are some others websites I believe. Wish me some luck.

GOOD FOR SAM!! Get at it bro. This may be my favorite video yet. I love seeing videos of realistic home gyms of normal, everyday people. Keep them coming!

[@airgordo4]

All the super fancy stuff gets the attention but videos like this are great because this is what the majority of people train with at home, and what the majority of people who don't think they can make a home gym work need to see. I've more recently built out a gym that is way overkill but for years now I've supplemented having some version of a "home gym" to pair with a gym membership. Sam has all he needs to get started and make progress.

[@amunra4256]

And besides needing to buy more weights probably, what he has will work for a long time

[@JoseSuarez-bk3qg]

Coop, I’m glad you featured Sam’s gym on your channel. It goes to show that you can trick out any space and buy quality equipment at a budget. Good stuff.

[@markhalstead2386]

Awesome. If you can travel to WV, you can see my climate controlled Amish Shed gym. This is great for people that have no home garage or very limited space. I started out in a bedroom with one set of adjustable dumbbells. I did floor presses, Romanian deadlifts, front squats, goblet squats, bent over rows, overhead press and shoulder/arm workouts with the dumbbells.

[@mysticjedi6730]

All you need is a set of dumbells 5-50 in 5 pound increments. 10 pound increments after that as you need. And a thick mat. Dumbell squats, crunches, shoulder press, dumbbell push ups, bent over rows, laying tricep extention, bicep curl.. From there base your equipment on your goals.. ab rocker, bench, cardio, jump rope, etc. Save your money people.. I workout with nothing more than a mat ànd dumbbells..

[@ktrng]

More of these types of videos please! I'm starting to build a home gym in a smallish space and seeing videos like these is a good inspiration on how I should have mine set up!

[@katkrasher]

This is inspiring as hell seeing someone put together an amazing gym against all odds. Also interesting to see he went against your advice on the rowers which proves this is an actual story of someone's gym and not a product shill. Amazing video as always

[@underdogishere]

Great video. I like my powerblocks pro xps because I can grow bigger with them. I bought trugrit folding wall rack through the local vendor and got a great deal. I did an unboxing and installation on my channel because there wasn't one. I felt I had a responsibility to inform others. I'm a budget guy with the exception of "Buy Once, Cry Once". The wife has me selling equipment before I replace it with another on FB marketplace. Thanks for the video.

[@davidwoods7221]

I love the new product reviews and the epic gym tours. I also really appreciate the average or budget gym tours because you can get a lot of good ideas going for things to add to your own gym. Great video and props to Sam for making it work \m/

[@chipblue5771]

This is the type of video that I feel we all come here to watch. Real world home gyms and the experience they had with the equipment. For me a half rack with lat pull down, power block dumbbells and the best bench ever designed the iron master super bench pro. Not much I can’t replicate to get a fantastic workout at home and it takes up minimal space in the garage.

[@christopherbrennan8308]

Good to see some budget stuff on the channel again. Thanks GGR!

[@EchoSigma6]

Sam is going to be an inspiration to the everyday guy, someone doing what they can for a healthier body with limited room and resources.

[@bamafan1612]

I love that he went with the Titan X3 wallmount. There aren't a ton of reviews on it, and frankly for around $300, tough to beat that value for uprights if you are just building a home gym to stay fit.

[@stealthassasin1day291]

The only benefits of a small space is you can only fit so much equipment so it helps makes buying decisions easier and in the process easier on the budget.

[@THEJavelinX]

I actually prefer a smaller space because it means everything is pretty much within arms reach. I have a smaller space than his, with a foldable power rack and heavy duty safety pins by Ethos (with pullup bar), plate pins built into the wall (also Ethos) that are currently holding like 600lbs, an ironmaster super pro with dip handle (thanks Coop for the suggestion, AWESOME piece of equipment), a dumbbell rack (generic heavy duty mini rack, has 70s, 40s,30s,20s,10s with room for another set). I built a pulley system that attaches to the rack and has an OLY pin by Ironmind that I've had for years (used with rolling thunder and whatnot). Really the last thing I want is either a rower or assault bike, but they need to be foldable or compact. All this is stored in a 12'x4' space in my garage, I have horse stall mats that extend another 5' during active use (my wife actually pulls into the garage right over the top of them when not in use)

[@skycloud4802]

I don't classify this as a small space. The dude is lucky to have a whole laundry room for a squat rack. I have a tiny 1 bed flat. There's no way I'm going to have the space for anything more than a foldable bench and plate dumbbells..

[@ojso1224]

To be honest Coup, the average person would even consider this to be an expensive gym. More content like this. This is relatable

[@alexcalvo8094]

This video made us all know Sam just a little more and It made me like him that much more. Good job Sam! You awesome bro!

[@MarcelloLins]

I am literally in the process of putting together a 10x10 home gym in my basement. This was inpiring. You can definitely put something together in this space. I loved it !

[@nathangoode1089]

I used to have those dumbbells. You can get them to 80lbs each of you buy thin 10lb 1” plates. Which were easy to find for me. I bought the starter set at Canadian tire (pre Covid) for $40 and $1/lb for add on plates at fitness depot. Some companies make longer handles too.

[@bigx5murf]

Definitely would like more videos like this. Social media has screwed up standards across the board. From strength to budgets. It's nice to get content of realistic standards.

[@cocoasprinkles]

Yes dude, more low budget/unique gyms please

[@connorobrien8763]

Dude I love the style video! Seeing everything that you’ve put out about all the different equipment that’s available put into practice and applying to peoples different fitness goals, space, and budget is amazing

[@tomk3478]

I've already spent more than that and I don't even have a piece of cardio equipment like a rower or bike or anything. Nice job, Sam!

[@ligmaballs0911]

This is probably one of the best videos of the channel due to how to relatable this is to do many people. I had a small space before and this was very similar to what I had going on. This just kills any bs excuses. MORE LIKE THS!!

[@azndynomite1277]

I do all of my dumbbell training either in a 4.5x10 foot space or a door frame (for strict reps) and am lucky enough to have a spare bedroom for a pull-up/dip station. Have a X-frame bike setup infront of my TV for cardio while I game or watch Netflix. Next purchase is a sissy squat. All for just over a $1000 Canadian. You really don't need a ton of money to build a setup that suits your needs. Looking forward to one day owning a nice cable machine in my basement!

Hey great video, guys! I love seeing reviews on higher quality gym equipment, but i was starting to feel like videos about getting creative with cheaper equipment in smaller spaces were lacking. This was cool to see! Thanks Sam for sharing your space!

[@rgh622]

I personally seek out small gym reviews because that's all the space some of us have to spare is a small area. As we increase in strength, acceptance and enjoyment of the lifting life we grow with our equipment and perhaps the area we're willing to sacrifice towards it. Please do more of these, thanks!

[@Jay9xOTDark]

You're the best dude. You've inspired me to build my home gym immediately upon moving into a house. Bought the My Rack from Force USA after reading an article you put together. I can't wait to keep put it together a continue building an EPIC home weight & Muay Thai gym.

[@turkishdelight6032]

Wow, that Titan rack and TruGrit bench were absolute steals

[@B.L.S.]

My home gym fits in a 8'x6' area which is the platform, with a full rack, and a small 2'x3' spot for my Ironmaster dumbbell stand. I only use some additional floor space when I'm using the gym. When not in use it only takes up that floor space.

[@LILJROD90]

This was awesome! Love to see people who never cared to lift weights do this. 🙌🏽💪🏾👏🏼

[@stephentrace4571]

I thought this was a perfect video. While we all love the big EPIC racks and the crazy Custom bars. We’ll never own them… or at least most people/viewers won’t. This is showing the compromises that people really make to still get it done at home.

[@jlambo9757]

The exterior Christmas lights still up are a nice touch

[@chuckyfox9284]

I specifically use a dumbbell that is very similar to the Amazon Basics ones, because you can load it up relatively heavy. For my Bench I need 60kg a dumbbell and you don't find that with other adjustable dumbbells.

[@toddekramer]

Mine is in my 8 be 7 bedroom and includes a power rack, hack squat, adjustable bench, cable machine, pivot squat, belt squat, bulldog pad, dip bars, jammer arms, slant boards, landmine press, 2 step boxes, weighted vest and lateral raise machine. Apart from the rack and cables it was all built out of scrap wood.

Personally I wouldn't have bought the rower but a range of dumbbells and a cheap home trainer or something. Also a great addition might be a pulley behind the rack. Keep em coming!

[@keithwedin6307]

Good content, I think this is more realistic to what most of us have to work with. I hav 125 square ft and similar stuff. Small amounts of high quality equipment allow for plenty of variety

[@TheJesanchof]

Loved this video, I think that it will be relatable for most people. I obviously love to see the incredible equipment you review, but space and money is the biggest factor as you stated. I have a small gym too that I build mostly out of FB marketplace by seeing your tips but adjusting to my reality regarding money, space and my needs for working out. A cheap rack, bench, a bar, basically this same dumbbells, a bike plus small things here and there and you're good to go (everything bought spaced in time as finding my training personality). Only I use it so not worried about "too much use" will end up damage anything

I love this gym. Great work. I've been using Walmart dumbbells for 8 years now. With the golds gym plates I can get them up to 70 without much fear the collar will unscrew and fall off during my workouts. But like you said their not the most convenient... But most of all they get very uncomfortable to mount on your legs after you start loading 50+ lbs. I can't wait to get some power blocks or a good set of rubber dbs. But first I want an echo bike or clone.
