Moving a Home Gym - Pro Tips and Mistakes to Avoid!

[@T-Dawg29]

insulate your garage door with Reflective Roll Insulation and HVAC tape. This will keep your garage exponentially warmer than a plain garage door

[@KaizenDIYGym]

That’s a great pro tip!

[@Grumpyoldman666]

I did this and I agree it’s an easy and inexpensive way to help with heating the garage

[@andie_pl]

I moved my gym twice already... literally accepted my fate and now my 3rd gym iteration is bigger than the first two combined. Might just have to expand my house and not move lol

[@KaizenDIYGym]

I feel your pain brother. I’ll definitely be expanding before I consider moving again.

[@RoryEllisMusic]

I also love the look of the megalith handles up on the wall! You’ll have to share that storage solution 👌🏼

[@KaizenDIYGym]

The Megalith handles are just on my Wall Control panel. I’ll go into more detail on the next gym tour!

[@AnthonyVenmans]

Back! Looking forward to the new footage from your new location!

[@KaizenDIYGym]

Heck yeah! I am really enjoying how it is coming together.

[@RoryEllisMusic]

Bro, the editing on this video is absolutely top notch! And the audio quality is great for as many different settings/locations as you had. Seriously great work! Great concept for a video too. 👏🏼👌🏼

[@KaizenDIYGym]

Thanks Rory! Using a handheld mic helps to get consistent audio quality in the various locations. It’s something I’ve seen other KZbinr doing so I decided to give it a try. The editing was done by an awesome guy I found on Fiverr. His editing is perfect for my style.

You moved NINE times with all the stuff. Good thing you work out LOL. Welcome back!

[@KaizenDIYGym]

Dude seriously

[@Grumpyoldman666]

wtf!!! That’s basically asking to be kicked in the bslls 9 times over

[@TheKurtlocker]

I’ve had to move and although I got rid of stuff, it was less of the “keep the stuff I love” and more of a “sell the stuff I don’t like at all” the mistakes gotta go. Everything else comes with me

[@KaizenDIYGym]

It's a great opportunity to clean house!

[@nathanweston4120]

Felt like this was the best place to ask this because of your innovation/willingness to respond to comments: Is there a way to stop a bench from moving backwards on a heavy press for an integrated functional trainer on a squat rack? Something like a bar with 1" holes on both sides to stop a bench from moving backwards..could have an adjustable plate like the ares 2.0 to increase how far out the bench is supported away from the rack for that deep press?

[@KaizenDIYGym]

I don’t know of anything like that but it could be a fun DIY if you have the tools

[@joecowan3719]

Here before move #10...great advice in this video!

[@KaizenDIYGym]

Haha! I don’t plan on moving for a long time!

[@Rcoven2]

Kyle - on the FS lever arm belt squat, will I need any washers or spacers to secure the fit with on a 2.3x2.3 BOS all in one rack? Thanks man!

[@KaizenDIYGym]

You can use the spacers but I don’t think you necessarily need the spacers.

[@kimlindblom6964]

What is that attachment in the end of the video with multiple holes and a hole in the middle for landmine?

[@seancreighton4393]

Gympin holey bar

[@nicelikemike]

Changing my name to RIGHTLIKEMIKE 😁

[@KaizenDIYGym]

😂 accurate

[@skim1983]

Are you going to add the new weight horns?

[@KaizenDIYGym]

Absolutely! I can't wait to get them in and test them out

[@Joe-bg9gi]

Where’d ya move to this time and why’d you move?

[@KaizenDIYGym]

I was renting for the last year and decided to go all in and buy a house in Indianapolis. The new place is just down the street from my rental.

[@Joe-bg9gi]

@ Oh, cool deal!

[@Denbeeer]

I see that you restore many things and also make DIY equipment and do a good job. But I don't want to be mean or derogatory, but do you also use the gym yourself? Do you have a training schedule? If so, what exactly do you do? Just stay healthy, or do you try strength training or just weight control or what? I'm curious. And why do you move so much? Are you wanted?😅

[@KaizenDIYGym]

Yes, I use the gym. Right now I am just getting back into it after taking a couple months off due to the move. I typically do 45 - 60 minutes, 3-4 days a week. Sometimes I follow a program, sometimes I don't. My goal is to stay active, and to be healthy and happy. I am too old to chase big numbers and I am not interested in becoming huge. I moved a bunch over the last year and a half because I went through a divorce and with that came a lot of life changes. I moved out of a home I owned and into a rental, lived in that rental for a year, and then bought a new home.

[@Denbeeer]

@@KaizenDIYGym Sorry about your divorce. And also glad that you are not wanted 😉. And a good workout plan. Stay healthy and enjoy your home gym. Are you also going to make videos of possible workouts, for example? Thank you for your response.

[@fwiffo42]

I’m likely doing a cross country move next year, so I better get selling some things soon!

[@KaizenDIYGym]

Whew! You might want to just sell everything and start fresh. That’s a huge endeavor!

[@fwiffo42]

@ I’m considering it! It’s just tough knowing how much I’ll have to spend on the replacement gear versus what I can sell for. But maybe that loss is less than the packing and shipping.

[@carps_gym]

Moving sucks. Moving your home gym sucks worse 😂

[@KaizenDIYGym]

Very true!

[@Grumpyoldman666]

Anytime I consider moving, I walk into my 2.5 car garage that’s 100% full of nothing but gym equipment and think F NO!!! Waaaaay too much work to move! Staying put baby!

[@KaizenDIYGym]

Good call!

[@Markinator83]

I moved my Gym 5 times and it became bigger every time. The house I bought and live in now is my end level, I will not move for the next 30 years.

[@KaizenDIYGym]

I feel the same way. I am tired of moving. I signed a 30 year mortgage and I intend on staying put!
