Ahh.. another beautiful home gym tour from Garage Gym Reviews. You’re welcome in advance. This time, we’re going to show you an inside look at the home gym of our very own videographer, Nathan! Will his be the best home gym we’ve ever seen?! Okay, maybe not since we’ve all seen Coop’s tricked out garage gym, but a little birdie did tell me Nathan has Eleiko flooring so it can’t be too bad.
Eleiko flooring in a home gym is the creme de la creme when it comes to some of the best home gym flooring on the market. While I wouldn't say it’s a prudent choice for everyone due to the steep price tag per mat, it is some of the best garage gym flooring money can buy, at least according to us at Garage Gym Reviews.
Nathan Hay is the videographer for Garage Gym Reviews. He has extensive experience both producing and editing videos for well-known brands and celebrities such as Uber, Angels & Airwaves, Thirty Seconds to Mars, and many more.*

Yes, continue the in gym visits. Add floor plan dimensions, relative cost to equip, and expand on electrical/sound, if any. Keep up the 🔥

[@Ignaciodrums]

Ggr has already made an extensive video on the electric/sound in his home gym

[@gymreviewer]

Something nice about seeing other people’s gyms 🤝

[@connorschaal2729]

He’ll get right on that for ya bud

[@user-cm9ef4fw7m]

why will u have access to so much equipment and have below average muscle development… to the point no one can tell u have ever workout?

[@Insaniya.humanity]

@@connorschaal2729 and for free, of course…

[@noahholley137]

the first thing i always think when watching these garage gym reviews is "these guys are pretty small for having a garage gym"

[@toddheadrick491]

Maybe just started lifting?

[@clintmccabe6904]

10,000 home gym - built like a high school kid. L

[@mlb5525]

Not everyone is going for mass, many people emphasis definition

[@meatball6930]

Most ppl in the a local gym are that way too. Many ppl just want to stay in shape bro-they aren’t looking for counting macros-sticking needles in their ass,wearing matching clothes while starting at other guys glutes in a gym or in public. They’re just fighting age and trying to keep their body from their 20s and be able to do anything in life like moving stuff or playing a sport/game at a family,y gathering or with buddies,also just trying to keep posture when they have a computer nerd job and keep a somewhat beach body that doesn’t look sloppy. They don’t want to hurt for 3 days after workouts and damage joints and ligaments and become stiff and not breathe walking upstairs. It’s more about not getting out of shape vs getting into shape. I used to think like you until i realized i was a douche and I’ve had quite a few injuries and when you get big everyone expects it so if you get a health issue and lose size everyone has something to say and most ppl (because ur a douche) get excited when they see you losing size. Best to just get in shape and not get out of shape and pack a little muscle on that’s healthy and makes you look like a new car i stead of a bulldozer. I keep myself a few ticks bigger than the average in shape guy and I’ll say women love it a lot more then when i was huge. It looks more athletic and only freaks or some girls (not the type you keep around long ) like big veiny muscle. Most girls would much prefer the Brad Pitt body from fight club then they would a body builder. He was just ripped not very big -if he was standing next to you in a shirt he’d seem almost small or normal. That’s what most women like. One thing you learn if you study is-body builders especially on gear are opposed on other men’s looks whether they lift or not and over time they obsess and I’m pretty confident they’re almost all gay or think about it. Can’t tell you how many i knew that either turned out ghey or will one day. Estrogen spikes and being concerned about other men’s looks is what they get addicted too and they learn that most women do care for it so when they walk into a too they’re trying to impress the other men and like compliments from men p,us they love to pretend they’re tough guys. 1 out of 5000 might be tough. Body bud,ding does not make you tough and it can actually turn you from a great fighter to a not so good fighter. These guys forget they can’t workout their face and they can’t move fast enough ,have bad range of motion,no cardio,become off balance easy,can’t get out of the way,can’t reverse direction,and they’ve trained themselves for sets -when i have them as employees they need nonstop breaks when they use their muscle for anything and there muscle strength fades fast -it’s trained that way. So they can lift heavy just can’t move it very far-then break time. It’s ridiculous to me and I’m 6’2, 225, with 22 inch arms that were 24 inch. I go 12 hrs a day at hard construction , don’t break and hardly ever eat. Then do 50 minute workout. Everyone sitting on computers should have this guys setup with maybe 2 more machines.

[@michaelmcboomboom7473]

@@meatball6930not reading all that. You can stay in shape just by doing body workouts without spending loads on equipment when you’re skinny

[@NUMBER_74]

I enjoy the gym walkthroughs! Keep those up. Sometimes you pick up little stuff that's not even mentioned in the video. I always end up rewinding to check stuff out.

[@mounirdarwiche6075]

Packaging: It came in a sturdy rectangular cardboard box that said Yoga on it. kzbin.infoUgkxZkaD2JsPC-fUMkF3vxJ2echoiXZ3T9aM I didn't like how it let possible package thieves know what might be contained inside but great packaging otherwise. The yoga mat came rolled up in a plastic wrap, which was fairly easy to remove.Contents: I got the green yoga mat and it came with an adjustable velcro carrying strap already secured to the mat. There was also a warranty card. There was a bit of a plastic smell coming form the yoga mat but it quickly dissipated after using it once.I've only used the yoga mat twice so far but I am loving it. It's such a game changer to my work outs, especially compared to my bed and floor, haha! I can confirm that it very thick, slip resistant, and comfortable. i didn't look at the dimensions prior to buying the mat, but it is so much longer than I expected! Width is normal size in my opinion. I don't know if it really is tear resistant yet... only time will tell!

[@tomk3478]

I'm digging the walkthroughs. It's always nice to see what other people have in their setups and how they put stuff together.

[@adamcloet4277]

The home gym tours are - hands down - the best content you put out!

[@kenl9995]

Great looking gym. For those of you on a budget: If you want to spend $4k on doing your garage flooring get Elinko. If you want to spend $470 buy stall mats from Tractor Supply.

[@timfowler6375]

Love the gym walkthroughs, so good to see what other people do and how they make things work!

[@jno20]

I enjoy the walkthroughs, for sure. It's really nice to see equipment in different configurations and spaces, helps me contextualize how it might look in my home gym and what may or may not work for my space.

[@dewafelbakkers]

Always love the gym walkthroughs. Would love to see even more small space/low ceiling/odd space solutions and shed solutions

[@PCHPerformance]

Love the gym walkthroughs, really gives a great look at what/how/why other people do in terms of set ups. Best thing to do to get ideas and see what works and what doesn’t. Since COVID, I’ve slowly built up my home gym to run my training business through there instead of a commercial gym. If you need more garage gyms to do walk throughs, I’d love to get a chance to be on it!

[@Mr1damian]

Love the walkthroughs. I’d like to see a combination of seasoned home gym veterans and rookies just getting started 💪🏽

[@authentichealthcoach4142]

Really cool stuff man! Looks great and I love how you showed how you still have your garage stuff in there! 2 things i need now….Eleiko flooring to match my bars and SONOS speakers!

[@leitman]

The jd gym knurled handle suggestion looks awesome. I love the walk thrus. The flooring is nice. I also like the regrets being mentions of the faults with some of the items when trying to mix and match. I love my gym and wouldn't trade it for a commercial gym. You are a 100% correct, he will fill in that space in no time. I have been building mine for 15 years. I have swapped stuff that I regretted buy and have flipped multiple items after Using them for a year or two!

[@TheAverageAngler]

Love the gym walk through. This set up is exactly what I’m going for. Sort of a minimalist approach that covers all the needs. Add a rower and it’s perfect.

[@edwardchen9475]

Just saw this video as a recommendation from KZbin. Love the walkthroughs! I have a three car garage (one tandem space) and I’m trying to make the tandem portion as a fitness area. Would love to see more “smaller” gyms as well!

[@Pianoman1986beto]

Totally for the garage gym walkthroughs and honest opinions of the purchase regrets. ie. dumbbell weights, lat pull down inconvenience of rolling the weights being an inconvenience. Thanks guys! Keep them coming.

[@AlgerJ24]

I don’t have a sick gym. But it’s functional and I am forever thankful for it. Power rack, adjustable bench, barbell, is really all you need to get it done. If you’re trying to be more serious about your fitness and level up from living room workouts (also great). I find when you are apart of the process in building it, you’re going to use it more because it’s tuned to your liking. Great video as always.

[@azndynomite1277]

Absolutely love these gym walkthroughs, gives me ideas, please keep em' coming!

[@Hichris808]

Those handles on the powerblocks! About to order them for my set. Never knew about this before. Thanks!

[@alphabrett2502]

Yes the gym tours are fantastic. I love seeing what people do while keeping it basic. Especially the "this Rogue attachment with this rep rack because its better"

[@robertplaisier8844]

Love the friend/ co-worker gym walk through. Keep up the great reviews and content!

[@kompletevisionentertainmen371]

I really appreciate the work you all are putting in. I currently go to a gym, but I plan on buying a home soon and I was looking into building an at home gym. Thank you so much for all of the details and suggestions.

[@carloslaboy4279]

Awesome walkthrough. I was thinking of getting a plate loaded lat pulldown, but you’re right. The center mount lat pulldown would be a much better option.

[@fwiffo42]

I’m digging these garage gym walk throughs! I’ve got a pretty nice setup, 6 post Monster rack with the Rhino and a center mounted slinger (á la the COOP rack), deadlift platform, a couple of Ohio power bars, an Ohio deadlift bar, an Ohio squat bar, the nuobells, rogue adjustable bench 2.0, rogue monster utility bench 2.0, and a concept 2 RowERG. It all (mostly) fits in one stall of my 3 car garage. I owe a lot to GGR and Basement Brandon for what I picked.

[@giantrobot_cf]

I like the non-cluttered openness of that gym, just like my basement gym. I like the walk throughs.

[@TheBrianBurkett]

The Titan dumbbell stand is WAY better than the PowerBlock stand. It doesn't have the holes for the adder weights, and you'll need to cut something to raise the blocks up just a little because of the lips on the side, but it's WAY sturdier and has some built in plate storage.

[@adriennepang6985]

Love gym visits! Agree do more of these so we can get your take on what to do in different spaces and also based on the individual’s fitness goala

[@rayjbb1494]

Love the gym walkthroughs too! Would be great to see a picture of what equipment was there before (with the dimensions of the space) so smaller spaces have an idea of what they could do

[@BeastRP_]

Love the gym reviews, amazing to see what other people have and set their own garage up

[@benemirate7584]

The westside scout hyper is soo freaking good, I love it!!! It is stable enough without being heavy and taking up zero space

[@Lloydy2k]

Absolutely love home gym walk throughs. That set up is sick

[@PLAYIN_247]

Great video, this kind of variety in content is perfect

[@ziaflame]

Yes. Please do more home gym reviews. I'm getting great ideas for my home gym.

[@joelmeoak7384]

I love the gym walkthroughs. Gives me more ideas. Keep them coming.

[@DylanKJohnson]

Hell yes to gym walkthroughs! It's always great seeing how people choose to kit out their personal spaces. If you're ever in the PNW you'd be more than welcome to tour my space, ha.

[@smokinghull]

I really enjoy these home gym reviews! Keep them coming!

[@AslanAtreyu]

Coop, I really like at the end of the walk through that you offer your suggestions for potential improvements.

Yes to more gym visit/reviews. I like when you show professional athletes too. Thx man!

[@jamescoyle8]

Love the garage gym walkthroughs! Honestly I can’t get enough lol! It’s cool because every case is customized! And so gives different perspective and insights. Also I have a great garage gym that I’d love to share if your willing to come to Jackson, MS!!!

[@JHallOnline]

The gym walkthroughs are awesome. More please.

[@Fitnaz]

Yes I love it. It helped me create my gym to what it is thus far. I will definitely share and tag you here soon. Without your help it wouldn't be what it is.

[@lousantiago7511]

Enjoying the walk throughs. The JD handles on my powerblocks are money well spent. So much better.

[@ulrikvonliektenstein9907]

[@Oskrg2134]

The gym is very nice, it seems to me that the space is well distributed and organized. excellent work !!!

[@damionwimsatt4386]

Love the walk through! Keep them coming.... Maybe a COOP do over show, fixing home gyms???

[@eliasmoreno4672]

love these walkthroughs. pls do more!!!

[@pattgsm]

That is great space! Window provides some natural light and side nook is definitely a plus if only wanted a small gym. I’m sure he will make upgrades but I think the reverse hyper, either the power rack w/ a stacked lat pull dwn or the Titan functional trainer (not both), and the bench. Also, if I owned my car I wouldn’t give up the garage but a lease can stay parked in the driveway and I’ve got to have space for a freezer/refrigerator. He definitely has a fantastic home gym.

[@Jeff-mw3gj]

Love the walkthroughs!

Gym walk throughs are awesome!

[@jjjjjjj389]

Great review, I really enjoy these. Hopefully i'll have a working home gym eventually myself. I have some older weights / dumbells but maybe upgrades one day!

[@themustangmachine]

Love the gym walkthroughs! It's a lot of fun seeing what people purchase, prioritize, and value. Also, I think I have a pretty sick gym in Ohio if you'd want to come walk through it ever.

[@donaldcampbell851]

I went in my pocket to upgrade the handles on my Pro Rexan 125s powerblock. Bought those handles from JD Gym equipment you were 100% right about hose handles they are excellent!!

[@gregors00]

For the leg extension, go get a jack stand and when you load it up, you can have the loading pin out in front a bit so that the moment arm doesn’t change much during the movement.

[@poppers4198]

Nice gym. Those Eleiko tiles are awesome.

[@TheSwamiKing]

Great video. Very helpful and as always, entertaining.

[@Sweatcheck69]

More home gym tours with budget equipments and flooring would be a blessing !

[@jermaine5561]

I wish I had a friend like Coop. Good people!✌🏾

[@bawlsmcthaniel5549]

Hell yeah Coop love these videos man. And awesome to see that Titan Roman Chair I have the same one love that thing!

[@Rocket4ce]

Luv that flooring!

[@zfortyounce]

If anyone has a home gym and is thinking about buying a leg extension/leg curl machine, I use the Westside reverse hyper for leg extensions, leg curls and multiple types of pulls. Its pretty versatile if you get creative. You can even do tri extensions if you have some handles you can attach.

[@samsetiaboedhi4202]

Love the gym tours!

[@clintwhite8542]

Love the gym visits. This one gave me some great ideas

3:09 Killer b-roll low-sun shot.

[@Akcarr3]

coop woot!!! good work bud love all you stuff.

[@dereklynn387]

Yes, definitely more!

[@JoshPeak]

Love the walkthroughs and also splicing it with recommendations of other options is what I am here for. Like the rollers instead of the hyper machine. Perfect 👍 Probably a lot of work, but getting viewers to send through videos of their own gym walkthrough and you do like commentary and again splicing in your suggestions. Just make sure they submit the video in a certain format and with decent lighting and angles so you have decent content to work with.

[@galacius2988]

I have the PB Pro 90s as well and i went with the Powerblock Max Powerstand (make sure to get the Max, which is compatible with up to 90lb). Its the perfect height and you can walk into it, which feels the most natural.

[@anseldelacruz]

Very nice. Gave me some ideas. Keep doing these.

[@askreternal]

[@gman-db9lx]

Really nice setup Nathan. Congrats on that. I really like that Titan functional trainer you have but my space will only allow the Titan lat pulldown. I’ll get the selectorized version. Can you do cable curls on it?

[@trvslhy1]

Like the home gym walk throughs keep them coming. I’ve got a pretty good garage gym in San Diego if your ever in southern California.
