We have a 3 car garage and I built my gym starting back in 2021. I have the 1 stall that is just my equipment. I pull our vehicles out during workouts and then back in at the end. My hubby likes cars in the garage lol. Organization is key. I have 5 pieces of cardio equipment, DB’s, KB’s, bands, smith machine I found from a moving sale, bars, a wall mount foldable rack, trx, rings, wall balls, sandbags and so much functional training pieces. Bought a sled this spring and love that too. Plyo boxes with one being an adjustable box. 12”, 16”, 20” and 24”. Thats super handy. Redid our crappy concrete floor last winter with epoxy but also have the rubber stall mats on top. I love my gym.

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

That sounds awesome!!

[@isabelcastillo2394]

Beautiful and organized gym. Love it. I love your choice of wall color. Is it black? Is there a reason you chose a dark color? What type of floor covering are you using? We are getting new garage doors in the next month. I’ll check into insulated doors. Can you let me know the type of heater you have? Thank you for your help.

[@bigdogkropp]

Nice Gym, I really like the paint color. You should paint the R-tech insulation boards to finish it off. Also a wall of larger mirrors would make the space look much larger.

[@keanders2]

how did you level your garage floor? Or did you leave the slight down slope for drainage? Does this effect the way you train in the gym?

[@raymondjurado9203]

The gym dog was also my first step in my space, several months before the barbell.

[@rnbham39]

Great looking gym!! Love this. Thank you for sharing!!

[@dazgg9164]

Suscribed! :) love watching home setups. Amercians seem to have really good ones!

[@willclagett1700]

Awesome gym. I'm also living in Columbus, OH and the cold has been one of the biggest issues for me as a guy originally from Tampa.

[@richsinger6818]

Love all of these ideas! I don't have a garage but a shed I've installed a few things but nothing heavy like assault bikes or squat/pull up racks. All of these ideas are great and I may use some of them. I've installed a few eye screws and attached hooks to them and bands looped through them at different angles. If there's any 1-3 things to get for a home gym what do you think it would be or make like you all did for the weight pulley system

[@prxperformance]

Great choice on the Folding Squat Rack, Kristi! Cool to see how the gym has transformed compared to the previous home gym video you guys did. Hopefully more PRx gear can continue making its way into the gym 😃

[@jenngarcia]

@prxperformance, what model is it?

[@debkheiry5846]

If you guys are ever up in Findlay, you MUST come and tour my home gym. :)

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

We will take you up on that if we are ever up there!!

[@73rlight]

Nice work. Gym looks great!

[@billlubanski9023]

Could you please link the weight plate wall rack holders?

[@lanitaleis7965]

Thanks for the tour, looks great

[@matthewcbates]

Question: where and how do you store all the stuff you would normally keep in the garage? Ie. Lawnmowers, tools, etc

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Patrick built a shed in the back yard!

[@IvanDjuric300]

Nice set up. Love the black paint all round. Really sets a nice vibe in there.

[@jackharrington697]

Thanks for sharing looks like a cool gym!!

[@kkz2dgz]

Thanks !

[@Garage_gym48]

Great space!

[@GarminPro]

I personally do steady state cardio on my echo bike way more than I do the C2.

[@jrobert]

Same. I do 50-55 minutes a day on the Echo Bike using cycling workouts on Apple Fitness+.

[@ChristopherJPittman]

What did you get to insulate your garage door? I’ve tried a few things and they don’t seem to work that well. I want to redo it before the winter months are here. Thanks!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

it is a hard foam board Patrick got at home deopt!

[@thejohnhend]

Thumbs up for the gym dog!!

[@erickuehnen]

Sweet setup. Did you do anything to compensate for the slope from the back of the garage to outside?

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

no, It really is not noticeable!

[@josurke]

How do you manage the garage slope? My bar will roll towards the door if I don't place it perpendicularly

[@JWoodard93]

Love watching home gym builds and what everyone does with the space that they have You guys should look into Spartan race, Deka, and stadion events. Spartan stadion will kick your butt if you don’t train stairs

[@the_culture3259]

Thinking of taking a break from the box and signing up for your Ibex training. Do you have equipment lists somewhere for performance aesthetics, IBEX 60, or minimal equipment programs?

[@xavierparra3033]

Nice set up guys… what paint color did you use for your home gym!? It looks very nice .. I would like to paint mine the same way

[@joshswartzendruber1086]

Can you link or give the specs on the heater? I live in northern Idaho and have not found a good solution as of yet

[@dalenicholson7089]

Where's the lawnmower snowblower

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Patrick built a shed in the back yard for all that kind of stuff!

[@patrick8391]

​@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell can you show us your diy shed build!

[@blahbadyblah]

What had to be done to reinforce the wall to bolt equipment on it?

[@balboa0621]

Columbus shout out. I’m currently building my setup in south bexley.

[@daniellaramirez1266]

What happened to the handstand push-up wall?? ☹️

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

We got rid of it! We found, we rarely were doing HSPU in the garage but saved those for the gym so we created more floor space by adding a rig to the wall and getting ride of the stand up one we had to store!

[@FortNiteFPSGamingBenchma-nc7td]

Nice gym. Not my dream gym...or ultimate, but still nice. Would much rather have a Life fitness corner cable unit, Hammer strength smith machine...mine would have commercial incline, decline....a 3x3 power rack w/ various benches. Of course, I'd have a 3 or 4 car garage as space is important to fit it all. Probably why my stuff is in the basement where I have half of the 2600 sqft for the gym. :)

[@mx.cha_1243]

Gym dog CHECK! 🫶🏼😉

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

THE BEST PART!

[@Deenocon]

Amazing gym, definitely upgraded from your last gym tour! Motivation to get our garage gym updated as well, thank you so much for sharing! Sold on the functional trainer in the corner too!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

The functional trainer is a game changer! We waited too long!

[@Deenocon]

@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell lol 😂 I’m looking at the titan fitness one and the rep fitness one! Appreciate it again, definitely miss the garage gym training videos 😁

[@russellzauner]

The wall plate hanger is brilliant. *need for home functional trainer intensifies*

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

haha that functional trainer is awesome, go for it and get one!!

[@Gaiartemis]

Awesome Gym! Does Patrick want to come out and build my home gym? Nobody handy in my family!!! Your very lucky to have someone who can do all the little niches. And of course Milo is an added feature!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

haha ill send him out lol!! milo is def the best feature!

[@usabox]

Thank you! Why no assault runner? Too much space? I am thinking of remodeling my garage gym next spring.

[@AaronCouron]

I really love the idea and look of storing your plates on the wall, but I would be a little concerned about hanging so much weight off one wall stud. Maybe I am being overly cautious, but something to think about.

[@dannywolfstrongman]

nice Patrick

[@krrivera1971]

Love you guys' videos. Can you provide a link for the heater you guys installed in your garage?

[@shahabfazal]

One of the most optimal setups I've seen in a while! Fantastic setup Kristi!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

thank you!!

[@isaackoenig2864]

What type of heater do you have in your garage gym? What brand is it?

[@alwaysExploring8431]

I guess we will never know

[@lamarwilliams185]

I’m glad you asked the question. He said he would let us know. LOL

[@EliteBodyFit]

Link is in the comments below....scroll down

[@jswede1]

It says DURAHEAT right on it when he showed it on camera.

[@birgittamattson6154]

Love the garage gym. Built mine out during Covid

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

good move 😎✌️

[@shannonphilpott214]

Good day What is the square foot of your amazing gym? kind regards

[@itzsmendoziny3156]

What's the square footage of your garage?

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

i believe it is 17'x17'

[@christopherwilkes8807]

Which dumbbell rack did ya'll go with?

[@815donalduck]

Are you accepting gym applications? 😂 Wowzers! 🔥 🏋🏻‍♀ ➰💪💯

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

🤣✌️

[@LeslieScott12]

Thank you! This is super helpful! I am totally getting that hip thrust pad! I have a pretty good start on my garage gym, the problem is organization and also I have cement walls. Plus I need a good handyman/contractor type to help me plan and implement for the space. I started my CF journey here in Cbus in 2011 and have slowly added to my garage since then. I love working out in my garage but also miss the community aspect. Thank you again! Your space is beautiful!

[@JorgePuga]

What brand are those wall plates storage ?

[@stephentg1]

My gym dog Millie loves to hang out during a workout.

[@codysmiff222]

Ski erg is my favorite

[@WORKOUTSOLUTIONS]

👌😻 PERFECT garage gym 💪💯 Thanks for sharing 💥☀🏋‍ #simplicity ✅

[@davidgutierrez4059]

Does your heater really work and what is the brand? Thank you

[@Lonewolf-zl5kv]

I love gym dog, what he’s name?

[@Suhayb.Business]

Hey Kristi, Love what you are posting on KZbin. Your content is Awesome. I am Suhayb, a 17 years old entrepreneur. I do short video editing and was wondering if I could do it for you, for free, no strings attached, just to help me get experience?

[@edwingroffen5182]

Nice. But you forgot the most important part! Flooring! :D

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

we did!! it is 3/4 rubber mats that are 4x6 smooth!

[@newbuildtohome]

Great video, I have just finished my own home garage gym, check it out, I'd love to know what you think.

[@dancingkween007]

What rower do you have? Link?

[@Michael-Santa-Fe]

Wonderful setup! I just moved into a new house (in New Mexico) with a three-car garage and plenty of space to replicate something like you guys have. I wonder if there are "home gym consultants" out there (with Rogue maybe?) that could help with the design/planning of a home gym, rather than me putting together the home gym piece by piece?

[@zenubio01]

Link to the weight holders on the wall?

[@BillyWarlick]

I see a few people asked about the paint, it looks great! Can you tell us the color and finish? It looks like a flat finish, which I love but worry about durability. How is it holding up? Thanks for all the awesome content!

[@Jamie-bm7yw]

What paint color did you go with?

[@brandonweir8285]

What brand heater do you have?

[@outlawmultigun7076]

Great gym. Great use of the space. Can you direct me to where you found the folding squat rack? I went to PRX and they did not have one that looked like yours so maybe it's new? Please let me know and thank you again.

[@dominicpalumbo7906]

What type/brand of heater is that?

[@HookandLadderHolidayLighting]

Lookin Good! Hey if you want that barbell from winning the rogue invitational Qualifier, Let me know. I believe I bought it from Pat a few years ago.

[@geomitche8]

Do your cars fit in the garage?

[@jaysav8958]

What’s the paint color?

[@dubs2171]

What’s the paint color?

[@kellypreston9366]

Greetings from Dayton! Nice video, thinking of moving the gym from the basement to the half of the garage...just not looking forward tot he cold if i pull the trigger.

[@marisollopez4452]

Love this paint color!! What color did you go with? It’s a beautiful gym! This inspired me to get mine going 😊

[@yellowknight16]

Nice Gym! Wanted to get a similar black glass board, can you guys share the link to it? Thanks!

[@akosamotako]

Grat gym! Can I ask what type of a timer you have on the wall, and are you satisfied with it? Thanks in advance!

[@k0L082]

Does the Rogue competition bumper plates warp or break if left in the garage in the summer and winter?

[@ninjamaster7724]

Why are crossfitters the laughing stock of the fitness scene? That was a rhetorical question.😁

[@spider-chalk]

You skipped over the chalk! That's what everyone wanted to know!

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

We get our chalk from Rogue :)

[@spider-chalk]

@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell Makes sense! Ask them to send you Spider Chalk, we're one of their brands!

[@amnaalkaabi3538]

how come you don't have a box? just wondering ;)

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

We own a gym just a few min down the road, so some of the bigger things like a box we just use at our gym and save the space in our garage!

[@MaysO069]

Can you tell Me the recommended spacing for the I Hooks please

[@ConKen77]

What size is the black glass board, and where did you find it?

[@artyd7734]

very nice gym thankyou for sharing your insights god bless you both and your family

[@difegallon]

What is the brand of the Rack?

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

it is from PRX!

[@adamcarlson6004]

Can you get cars in there if there’s hail?

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Hey! Yes, we fit my 4 door jeep in with plenty of room. Pat has a big truck that would not fit no mater what lol!

[@adamcarlson6004]

Ok. So, you’re saying I should get more stuff for my setup. Got it. I’ll let my wife know you said it’s OK!

[@meaganfidler6371]

How high is your garage ceiling?/sq. ft.?

[@wildarren]

What kind of flooring is that? Horse stall mats?

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Hey! yes, we have smooth 4x6 mats that are 3/4 thick!

[@wildarren]

@@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell any issues with the seams separating?

what is the flooring you have in the gym?

They are horse stall mats!

[@AndrewPawley11]

Like that gym very much. Really well thought out.

[@therealjoshtodd]

do you have a link to those plate hangers off amazon at 5:20?

[@ShawnsDailyChallenge]

I could use the recommendation for the heater 😊

[@GYMODA]

Wow. I love your garage gym. Amazing !

[@elizabethharris9539]

Love the PRX rack. I purchased one a year ago and am obsessed. I tell anyone looking into a garage gym about these, so I was so happy to see you with one!

[@jubbyju]

What paint color did you use on the walls?

[@serraangelokc]

I have a mini box in my garage too! We are about to get an echo bike and I’m about to upgrade my squat rack to a half rack for the plate storage myself. Love your set up and I can’t wait to get my IBEX flag when they come out!

[@michaelsofine]

Looks like your local CrossFit gym!

[@kevinyawgel4228]

thats a high ceiling. normally its 8"

[@Jinx-ig1fz]

Building a home gym is great. Nice gym. I went with horse stall mats for my home gym build. what type of mats did you install, I couldn't remember if it was mentioned in the video?

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

we used horse stall mats as well, smooth 4x6, 3/4 thick

[@RBaBat]

Hi! Quick question, would you share the dimensions of your garage? for reference Thanks! :)

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]

Hey! I believe it is 16'x16'

[@MrThleckey]

Those eye hooks are an awsome idea. Pat do u have a video on when u put them in? How did u get them flush with the map that exact. The prx rack would be great also boke a yoke carry rack would be a nice addition.

[@Kristi-Eramo-OConnell]
