@@stansmith5610 If you have many kinds of resistance bands that is simply not true.

[@jamesaudette875]

For those of us that don't want to dedicate an entire garage or basement to the gym, room dividers/partitions are important. Having a space that is just dedicated to the gym has certainly helped me focus. I would love to see GGR's thoughts on easy and effective ways to partitions spaces (curtains, frames walls, etc.).

[@jessespeedy9709]

Sliding screen door! Absolutely my favorite purchase. It keeps out bugs, leaves, debris, adds a little privacy so my neighbors don't try and start up a chat with me mid workout. I can still slide it over to one side and pull my truck in too. Everyone in my neighborhood in FL has them, I'm the only one with a garage gym.

[@s_e_t_z3248]

Moved from FL to NC 2 ish months ago. Back in Florida for the holidays. Sliding doors are essential if you live near the coast.

I have a no outdoor shoes rule in my garage so have dedicated indoor trainers to help keep clean and tidy

[@ironhillstraining3572]

The leaf blower is something I use CONSTANTLY. I was cracking up when you pulled it out because you're so right.

[@markhalstead2386]

A refrigerator is one that is useful in a home gym detached from the house. Great to store bottled water, post workout shakes, etc.

[@johnhernandez4763]

😂

[@adambuteux]

felt underlayment for when you workout in basement and want to put something between horse stall mat and wood flooring.

[@terrencemartin2621]

Sidemount garage door openers, unbeatable change to any garage! Also more secure!!

[@BurtonHohman]

In terms of the garage door opener, you can do what I did and the super cheap route. I removed the automatic opener and it’s only a manually opening door. So no more center track!

[@SmeekPeeky]

Wall mounted fans and good lighting. Very important for me.

[@rodneyriley100]

This was a great one!! Enjoyed it and I need to level up my garage gym! Mirrors should have been on the list.

Coop, love this video. These are always helpful. I also like the videos when you tour other home gyms and see different ideas. Keep up the great work!!

[@shadow08]

Whiteboard and mirrors?

[@kyleallen7383]

yeah, I personally use my mirror as a dry erase board

[@BubblesRevenge]

Mirrors are essential

One piece you guys are missing is a dry-eraser board. that is a big must-have!

Corkboard or easels work great for the same purpose as well, depending on your preferences

[@Frandicap]

I'm surprised that I haven't seen anything about garage door insulation from Coop. Maybe I'm missing something from the past but a roundup on all the insulation options would be very valuable to a lot of people

[@Vault_Metal]

I agree. Insulating my door was an absolute game changer.

[@albertfischer8804]

If you go to Kristi Eramo's KZbin channel, her husband Pat showed how to do the install one or two winters ago. Pat use to work construction before they opened their gym with Kristi's parents so his explanation of the install is extremely good.

[@Frandicap]

@@albertfischer8804 I looked at their channel and searched "garage door" but I only found their window installation video. With that in mind, I also have a different style door from them as my door has a front panel hiding the tracks on the door. If I had that style of door, I would use polyisocyanurate panels like in this tutorial from Mr Fred’s DIY Garage School in this tutorial kzbin.info/www/bejne/pqfMaZKVmZVrZ6s Without the tracks to use as guides it's just a little more DIY than I'm comfortable with right now

[@tomaszdziedzic2079]

I've started watching your videos recently as im in process of building my own garage gym now. I would add a wall clock as as an essential non gym equipment...unless it falls into essentials in your view, also some motivational quotes on the wall would be a nice non essential in my view, greetings from Poland!

[@justdoitlv]

Dope vid Coop !

[@teatowel11]

A broom stick. Actually i use a 180cm (6') oak dowl that is a bit thicker 28mm. Give it a light sand, chamfer the ends and give it a coat of linseed oil and/or bees wax. Great for shoulder mobility, weightlifting drills, and to balance with when doing singke leg calf raises etc. You'll be surprised how often you will use it and how much like it.

[@glennpalmer3991]

I use a dowl to anchor my feet when doing seated overhead press. I sit it on top of my Rogue squat stand base, then use a pair of 45 pound plates to hold it down. This gives me an inch of space to slide my toes under. Hard to explain, but works great.

[@blaximum]

12:54 "Use the gym for more things"...*like parking your car?*

[@covidcarl7480]

i like the cooling/heating one. i'm installing my own mini split, do have the option for window units but opted for split. heat i have a gas heater in there already. storage is such a personal and space/layout dependent thing: some like pvc sticking up for plates (i saw a cool one with that on a roller cart), some like wallmounted, some like weight racks, somelike smaller form factor like wallmount racks and adjustable gear... etc

[@ahitzkenny428]

your channels awesome... great mention on the phone case only thing i might add is a candle or bug net for your doors lol

[@ringperm]

A bike rack for plate storage. Works really well

[@topTIEGE]

I don't know about in the US but the Koda Shop Light from Costco is unreal. 10/10 recommend.

[@iChefTheImpossible]

Lights are always a pain. Glad you covered this

[@pspicer777]

I use a *hand held vacuum* constantly for the little cleanup .. shop vac for the big cleaning.

[@marcmcphee]

Cool idea for a video! ♥️💪🏋️

[@sevenmovements3873]

Mini fridge and hot/cold water dispenser is crucial 😊

[@Dooms4y3r]

Had to re route the Dryer vent into the garage so it vents the heat out there, So whenver its cold in my garage gym, I throw the dryer on. It gets nice and warm quick.

[@GarageGymReviews]

Woah, that's a pro-tip.

[@ylo53]

What about mirrors? Any recommendations?

[@RubenRodriguez-tc9lz]

[@chrisharshbarger5844]

Can you do a review on sound dampening panels that hang on the walls? So we aren’t waking the family up early in the morning.

[@Videous1000]

Coop, for the case try magbak! literally the best case I ever had that thing has strong magnets

[@Nevyn515]

A fridge is a good one, so you don’t need to go in the house for cold water, protein shakes etc. I have a second fridge in my garage which is also my garage gym, so it wasn’t for the gym setup just for normal garage stuff, and a mini fridge is a nice thing for the gym side too. But my garage doesn’t have a connecting door, so it’s less of a thing if you don’t have to leave the gym, walk through rain in the garden into the house into the kitchen just to get a cold drink. Or a thermos would do the same I guess, keeping your fridge-cold water fridge cold by the end of your workout.

[@jlnrt]

To keep logs from my set, I use also a witeboard with magnets, this change the game :)

[@fredlomangino]

lets not skip over the gun attachment on the wall storage at 3:59 thats badass

[@Markus-fw4px]

What about a towel?

[@glennpalmer3991]

Coop, how about a head phones comparison? I workout in the basement in the early morning so headphones/ear buds are a must.

[@DarthImriel]

Check out the MagBak phone case; it's got great magnets and I can throw it on any rack and machine in the gym and it holds no issues.

[@DanielRodriguez-lp2wg]

some more ideas: a water tower, round timer (okay maybe that's gym equipment), alexa or other smarthome hub for asking random questions or to act as a timer, a whiteboard, and my favorite - a sofa for just chilling in your man cave when the workout's done :)

[@guillaumefraser3813]

I didn't like the round timers I could find, so I got me a magnetic electronic egg timer instead. Works well enough for tracking rest between sets, though for heavy boxing bag work it definitely leaves a little to be desired

[@LarryReynolds591]

Another good lighting option is the connectable lights from Harbor Freight.

[@smmartin101]

White board! Use mine everyday, 1/2 the board is for my kids WOD and the other 1/2 is my WOD.

[@Dan-rx3fq]

Gym clock, I find it a must to keep me on track.

[@jndq591]

Good video! Happy to see that gladiator rack from one of your earliest videos I rewatched a few days ago. I like when more accessible items are shown. Huge FOMO and spending urges are a common thing when watching Coop or others online. I really enjoy when the videos are varying from high-end top of the line to decent for general health oriented users. I stopped running after numbers and just really enjoy maintaining and challenging myself occasionnally, so too much out of reach items are not as interesting for me. Versatility, and variety in working out and training is what make the fun for me.

[@anyway702]

PLEASE COOP! You should review the best adjustable Barbells on Amazon!

[@Sil3nC4]

For use basement gym bros a hygrometer and a dehumidifier is essential. I learned the hard way that unheated basements and adding moisture from sweating and breathing 6 times a week for 2 hours each leads to mold. That can turn into a serious long term health hazard.

[@glennpalmer3991]

Add a condensate pump. Best thing ever!

[@Sil3nC4]

@@glennpalmer3991 solid idea, but because the house consists of apartments, the basement units do not have drains. Also, running the dehumidifier for 2 to 3 hours on a timer every 1to 2 days is enough to keep humidity in check (concrete basement)

[@eljefeguapobarbon]

I see the next episode of Hoarders coming! Coop, this is an intervention. 🏋🏽‍♀

[@starvin-marvin-the-martian]

Horse stall mats FTW. cheap, easy to cut to size if needed. I got 4x7 mats from my local farm store. The other tip: Get the heavy duty Gorilla tape and run it along all the seams. Makes it look nicer, and keeps them from creeping around over time. I taped mine a couple years ago and haven't had to touch them since.

[@StormGod29]

Why not tape the undersides as they are being installed rather than taping the top seam?

[@DrWarBear]

@@StormGod29I’m thinking it’s likely because if you ever wanted to move them or convert your garage, bedroom, or whatever back to a normal room that tape would be a nightmare to try to get off the subfloor. Just a guess though

[@StormGod29]

@@DrWarBear Sorry, I meant tape the under sides of the mats to each other not tap them to the floor/subfloor.

72 degrees.... I don't even keep my house at that. 65 degrees in my house in the winter. And now at the new house I'll open the door to my attached garage (which I've never had before) and turn on a small space heater I have in my gym in there and it'll get up to 55-56.... and that's warm enough for me. I'll usually wind up having to take my long sleeve shirt off I'll get too hot. I feel like that's pampering myself as my last 2 homes had unconditioned detached garages and in the winter it would get down to the 20s in there and in the summer I'd be drenched in sweat as it would be about 100-105 in there. Now.... my attached 2 garage.. err... gym stays between 50 and 85 degrees year round.
