My order total from Rogue was around $3,900 but with shipping costs it came to something like $4,500. After I put in my order I realized that orders over $5,000 ship free. So basically, I could have got somewhere around $1,100 worth of actual equipment and only spent 500 more bucks (not that my wife would have gone for me spending even more money on the gym). Something to think about if you are starting your own home gym.

[@AdamGoldbach]

I can’t believe I just came across your comment. I just filled up my shopping cart on the Rogue app last night and was just under 4800.00. I decided to add one more rack attachment and found out the shipping went to ZERO! What a gift! I’m SO sorry to hear you didn’t find that out before you purchased!

What I don’t get is you’ll never have all the equipment a gym has and spending 5,000 on a home gym which isn’t that much considering, is 16.5 years of gym memberships. That’s why it’s not worth it. I’d rather put 5000 in something that’s gonna make me money and pay $25 a month for all the gym I’d need.

I'm surprised with some of the negative reviews. I was so impressed with the kzbin.infoUgkxMwYg0MOXR4M-oGeyBsNSYe1aPOUoRH6D cage that I got the lat pulldown attachment that goes with it. It is equally outstanding. I don't have one complaint other than putting it together is a job. The instructions and packaging of the parts are very well designed and organized. Also, I stripped and damaged the pull down cable the first day, admitting it was my stupid fault, and they quickly replaced it at no charge. I'm 6'5, 280lbs and fit in the cage just fine. Glenn B

[@denisesommers4676]

Great video!! My husband and I have a basement gym that we’ve built over the last 15 years. We live rurally and access to a commercial gym was limited due to distance and weather (upstate NY). We did NOT start out with the intention of really building a home gym and it sort of evolved into a pretty sweet setup. Most of our buys are used from CL, FB, and old school classifieds (ha!). We definitely have some buys that are probably considered mistakes like tile mats (we do have some horse stall mats) and some DSG specials like the BB, plates, and benches. We enjoy lifting but are by no means posting monster numbers on the big lifts, so hey, it works for us. Maybe one day I’ll buy a nice BB and then understand why the internet is always crapping on the cheapo ones that I use, but until then, ignorance is bliss! 🤣

[@jared3977]

Idk about just going into your garage and just doing burpees to test if you want a home gym or not. There's a certain appeal to being able to accomplish a full workout at home. Maybe buy enough equipment to accomplish one of your gym workout routines. Like dumbbells and a bench and do a full shoulder workout at home. Something that you would normally do at the gym but would save time doing it at home.

[@majorgear1021]

Great tip! I’m starting off with a treadmill as it’s going to be freezing temps soon and I’ll do that every day. Next I’ll get some type of power rack, one with a pulley system though, so I can do even more exercises on it.

I've watched a few of your videos but have recently finally started putting my garage gym together and subscribed! I'm building my gym primarily as a supplemental strongman gym since I don't have a strongman gym nearby and plan to continue using my gym membership.

[@johnleonard9102]

I'm in the Navy and even though they provide gyms on base they aren't very big, so you're constantly waiting your turn to use a machine or a bench. My wife and I have been talking about making our own garage gym sometime in the future; likely in a few years once I'm done with pilot school. These videos are going to be tons of help.

[@jdawg1835]

Lots of good advice here. I started the garage gym with a basic sporting goods store 300lb weight set with the crappy bar, and a crappy bench press setup. That actually worked for me for quite a while. Later on I bought a quality bar as my first upgrade, and eventually picked up a set of bumpers (had to buy them a pair at a time due to budget restrictions). I eventually sold all the equipment that I had originally purchased at or near the price I paid for it. Buy on sale! Most of these things really hold their resale value due to steel prices always climbing and the fact that most gym equipment will last longer than we will.

[@chrisrueth3204]

Buy nice, or buy twice. Coop, you're the fitness voice of reason I needed. Minus bumper plates, my gym is almost complete of the essentials. Thanks for the help 💪💪

[@Josh-ur6dx]

Great video with some nice insight. I put together my basement gym in August and am looking to upgrade into a garage gym for the spring time and need some tips. You're channel has been a good one to watch. I think the only mistake I made with my basement gym is my rack stand. I was on a tight budget and wanted to invest more into the barbell and weights off the bat. Also the ceiling in my basement is only 78" so my choices were limited. The stand works for now, but it was always just a band aide. Come the Spring time I intend to have a full rack in the garage.

I think you just gained a lot more views now that everyone's stuck at home. The horse stall mat tip is a keeper!!

The Iron Neck reminded me of a weight building sombrero. I really like the suggestion to treat it as a business. Thanks for your recommendations!

I've got the horse stall mats as well, had em for like 10 years, got em for free.

someone said they have a strong rubber smell, is that true?

[@Cimone90]

@@bryandavis4643 they certainly do. Did my whole gym with them, but they are cheap comparatively, they are thick and durable and comfortable, and the rubber smell really only lasts a couple weeks.

Kinda like you said with the buy once cry once, as another reviewer said “buy nice, don’t buy twice”. Great video man!

An average horse weighs 900-2,000 pounds, depending on size and breed. A lean, racing fit Thoroughbred, for example, will typically weigh 900-1,100 pounds, while the average Clydesdale (think Budweiser) weighs in at 1,800-2,000 pounds

I died laughing when you dumped on the Terra-Core, it harkens back to a time when I saw a superior bring in a Bosu-ball chair and was the subject of inquisitive attention and regard for weeks to come. Thank you for the great content and the candid honesty.
