Pain CAVES people! Want to see more? Let me know if round 3 is needed in the comments 👍😊

[@jinx6493]

‘That must be the towel he used to wipe his eyes after I crushed him in the sprints!’😂🤣😂

[@illuminatustm]

This is what I miss from real group rides compared to fairly polite zwifting with strangers- proper shit-talking between mates 😄

[@jamonisa]

Great video mark as always, the filling cabinets are full of tools and keep the place tidy, the towel is to remind me that it’s not a sprint but a race 😂 and who wins the race 🤷🏼‍♂️ I will paint the walls and get some Cat art up and possibly a golf area aswell 😂

[@alfonsplasil]

Give this man a medal:)) finally someone who is not scared to say his opinion. Love it!:)

[@Conssumed]

Keep doing these mate, it’s so interesting seeing people’s setup

[@vrdrew63]

Worth the wait, Mark. More fantastic inspiration, expertly curated. Winner of the Week has to go to handcycle guy. Not just for the guts to do handcycling, but for figuring out a way to make his Wahoo KickR work on it. Some US notes: Houses in the northern part of the USA have basements. Which gives most people who live there a whole other level of semi-usable living space: a place to put their furnace, their water softener, their handgun ammunition, an old pool table, and (in some instances) a Zwift pain cave. English houses would be much more liveable if they too had basements, but since most of them were built in the days when the King taxed windows, they don't. Note #2: Comparing US states with English counties is an inexact science. But New Jersey is to America the way Essex is to England.

[@MarkLewisfitness]

My house was built 5 years ago, the Queen was not involved and i still have no where to store my ammunition 😂 And NJ - Essex makes sense......a "Frank" could also come from Essex....or a Harry. There would be no Drew's in Essex for example.....but some in Guildford, Surrey. FACTS! 🤣👍

[@daneisenhart6916]

I really like this channel. Regarding painting walls, concrete block and concrete works out much better if a coat of primer is applied first. I’m sure thousands are going there.

[@sam-lifeonwheels9861]

Great video Mark, and glad my handcycle pain cave made the cut 💪 Two smilies aswell - result! I should’ve sent you some better photos as it looked super wide in the video 🤣 Cheers, Sam

[@MarkLewisfitness]

Happy to feature it! Just checked out your youtube - I was going to say something useless like "inspiring stuff" or whatever I'm sure you hear a lot, for good reason!.......instead, I found myself disappointed you didn't have a video on that bloody carbonbike! I wanted to see some cool shit going fast!!!! 😎😆👍💪

[@andrewzach1921]

Hopping through your timeline to watch different videos. Theses are super fun to watch. Also it’s nice to see your subscriber count at 200k and people are wondering when you are going to crack 10k.

[@MarkLewisfitness]

i wondered for a while 😂

[@christopherbell211]

So glad that I went back through and watched your older videos!

[@samuelparadis3678]

Man you’re hilarious keep up the good work !! Really entertaining videos

[@craigleese1787]

Another solid good video Mark. Some top notch pain caves there too!! Super critical on the golf setup though lol 😆

[@MarkLewisfitness]

Golf does not belong in a pain cave. 😂 second rule of pain caves 😆

[@redoinslimani8424]

round three is needed, keep up the good work

[@deanprosser5224]

Looking forward to round 3, I may even tidy mine and send it in

[@noggintube]

Great series, love the golf reaction 😂 I sent in my pictures but feel I need to up my game now seeing some of these, I was chuffed with my 50" TV for Zwift but then we see full projector systems.

[@MarkLewisfitness]

Round 3 up in a couple of weeks - still got lots more pics to go up!

[@karllawton8398]

I hope you do another one of these I've been building my own pain cave shed in my garden for a month now and it's nearly finished, would love to submit it to you see what you think! (when it's done, It's been a huge never ending money pit..)

[@paulvallender2896]

Mark, you have just inspired me to paint my garage pain cave, thank you 👍🏻

[@MarkLewisfitness]

That is awesome! Before and after photos and you are in Round 3 - If you paint ABOVE AVERAGE on the wall, I'll make yours the thumbnail picture 😂👍👍

[@spitgrtzr7551]

hell yeah on the golf thing!

[@madiantin]

OOOh! Pain caves! I love these! 1:25 Re: the shoes. He may actually store them like that on a regular basis. My husband and I do. They're just always ready and waiting to be slipped on. Yes please! Need a round 3. I'm waiting for one to turn up that has a climbing wall.

[@MarkLewisfitness]

I expect he does do that with the shoes - I just like the idea he did it just for me 😂

[@alexsandoval9053]

Thanks for including my paincave in your video!! The rubber flooring is the next item on my list. If you’re in the NYC area and need a place to train swing by! Keep up the good work

[@MarkLewisfitness]

Luckily was in NY end of 2019 around xmas........because with covid prob won't be flying anytime soon 🙄 When I next do I'll let you know - be part of my "train with my subscribers around the world" series!!! By the way, I assume that was you I found on the Cornel Barbell site doing a massive deadlift? Think it was their IG page maybe. Some serious weight!!

[@alexsandoval9053]

@@MarkLewisfitness If the ‘train with my subscribers around the world” series happens I’m definitely in! Yessir that was me, I pulled 300kg then I caught the endurance bug. 
Still pretty strong, but not at the strength levels for high level powerlifting. If you need someone to pull you into a decent sprint on zwift I’m happy to help. We may not be the fastest team on zwift, but we’ll definitely be the strongest lol.

[@wandatowellable]

Alex we are/were following each other on Garmin Connect. You always put serious effort into your training. For a while ithought your account was fake 🤣. Keep up the great work.

[@acebikemedia]

HAHAHA working on mine now. jesus. this was solid man. love the critiques

[@DC-lu5qs]

"It'll transform the space" is pretty much the last sequence of words I ever expected to hear on this channel 🤣

[@richardjohnston9131]

Thanks for the shout out Mark, keep the vids coming on all your disciplines and if you need any tech help plugging that iphone in just let me know. You’ve also given me the idea of an in game 1.21GW powerup by hooking my setup to the lightning conductor on my roof… Will let you know how it goes! Cheers - The Doc.

[@MarkLewisfitness]

If you find yourself back in 1985, tell me to buy some Microsoft shares..........I'll be 12 years old but I'll figure out the logistics of that myself 😂

[@Flashgordy22]

Hey @RichardJohnston! Very cool, Have you posted any notes on your custom set up anywhere?

[@davidr1431]

Great fun!

[@xdaddyxxspudx]

Fully enjoyed that Mark. The BRT champs race was smashing... Once I tidy up some cables 🤪🤪 I'll send over the 6x4 pain cane 😏

[@MarkLewisfitness]

Wise move 😂 untidy cables, cats and golf will result in serious roasting 🔥

[@tedbiggs3301]

I'm building a rocker plate and thought to put LEDs between the layers, with color to match wattage - I need to look at that website!

[@aberdeenal3234]

I might get into Round 3 if I get my arse into gear!

[@volancydogs]

These are hilarious!

[@hey_atw4711]

He’s gone paperless 😂😂😂

[@belwynne1386]

Good fun!

[@Cookefan59]

Hilarious and informative

[@TGTD100]

Is it true that, if you do not hit your 10.000 subscriber goal in time, you will put up a motivational poster with a cat playing golf? 😂

[@MarkLewisfitness]

If that poster exists....i WANT it! 🤣

[@paulvallender2896]

Round 3 gets my vote 👍🏻

[@royevans4581]

3:06 He deserves a point for his Alpe Du Zwift climbing schedule sheet on the top shelf though.........

[@MarkLewisfitness]

If thats what it is he DOES!!!!!! He'd have got 3 smiles for that 😎😎😎

[@paulmorrison30]

Mark! You should definitely be on TV 👊🏾✊🏾👏🏾

[@MarkLewisfitness]

I agree with this comment 😅

[@cliffclermont]

Funny AF! Thank GOD I didn't bait it with cat litter boxes. I like dogs as well for the record....not that a record is being kept. the Pain Box [tm] lives on.... Stagecoach 400 [mi] for me tomorrow [and beyond]. Loving the content.

[@MarkLewisfitness]

HA! Yours sneaked in - I was done at 10 but my kid said "you have to do Anchor Man cupboard 😂😂

[@cliffclermont]

@@MarkLewisfitness You kid is spot on....use the "Wanker-from-the-USA's" clip! They are not so right about "#NO 2-1-2!" murch.

[@schumzy]

Frank obviously has the best pain cave, with that Arsenal shirt prominently displayed get 2 cool smiley faces

[@MarkLewisfitness]

It’s a good job I did not comment on it as I assumed it was Manchester United 😂

[@rodstevens7452]

Love the videos! If you did want to try a watt bike atom for a ride your more than welcome to come and try mine, I’m just up the road from you (lower early Asda) Keep the videos coming

[@MarkLewisfitness]

Cool - jog past there most days! I may take you up on that offer! Cheers!

[@craiggillespie9181]

I feel like my missus put you up to the golf roasting, it’s been a constant battle! Apparently we could have some lovely cupboards where it lives 🙄 Great video as ever, at your best when ripping the piss. As an aside, any chance of a video on how you connect your various tracking apps and kit together. Bit nerdy and niche. But would be interested how you get everything playing nicely together.

[@MarkLewisfitness]

Ohhh...good question! Have something coming in a couple of weeks on how I use Garmin (multiple devices), Zwift, Trainerroad, etc. And good sport on the golf....every video needs something to roast and there where no cat pictures this time 😂👍

[@craiggillespie9181]

Top man, looking forward to that one. More money you will cause me to spend! Im trying to hold out for the Fenix 7 release (from Apple Watch)!

[@MarkLewisfitness]

@@craiggillespie9181 sell some of those golf things for the 7 when it comes out 😂

[@cwd1232]

Need a part three asap!

[@MarkLewisfitness]

Coming over Christmas

[@You-Tuber2024]

“He also sent this picture....” Me - Oh I like that “Let’s pretend you didn’t” 😂😂😂

[@rob_h_7]

What I'd do for that golf simulator........

[@MarkLewisfitness]

I did wonder how many people would be drooling over that while I roasted it 😂

[@craiggillespie9181]

Ignore Mark, real men golf. It’s shoe horned in to a space. But good fun with a beer in the evening.

[@baronvonhoughton]

You're a let down to all us Rob H's

[@Mahuknak]

Hi Mark Loving the content. I am currently training to become an above average marathon runner - highly inspired by your mentality. Some feedback on the videos. First of all I believe you might get even better views etc if you upload whenever your core audience consumes content KZbin the most. Most large european creators tend to upload around 19.00 pm GTM. Secondly your audio levels are very low, and I need to crank my volume all the way up when switching from another KZbin video to yours. I am not sure what can be done about that, but perhaps you know. Thanks again for the entertainment.

[@MarkLewisfitness]

The upload time is interesting as I've tried different times and never see much difference - but I do see a jump in the afternoon when the Yanks wake up and watch stuff that I uploaded earlier??? Will try some more afternoon uploads and see! And the audio is about to be SOLVED......I took my monthly KZbin earnings, multipled it by a zillion (because its rubbish) and spent out on some new gear - in fact.....a "my new home youtube studio...in a home gym" video will be up in a few days!

[@Mahuknak]

Might be worth looking at where the majority of your viewers are from and then follow their schedule. If that is the Yanks then so be it I guess. :) Love some new gear. Looking forward to the video.

[@barefootdogwalker1402]

football and golf about as interesting as watching paint dry on your newly painted gym wall

[@margarettigwell50]

Very pround

[@Rachaelshaw7]

Lights hooked up to the watts... Whaaaaaaaattttttt.. yes please. But, how?

[@martynlancaster4453]

How do I send my pain cave pictures?? I have a pain van for transport as well

[@user-bz9ld2go3g]

Where can you send the pictures

[@EndUser-yu7gg]

I just couldn't sacrifice an entire garage to this ... I did however surrender half of it to my zwift setup .. mrs gets her car in on the other side because yeah its new and A-holes like to break into and destroy nice things in my neighborhood so my 20+ year old car has to take its chances outside so I can have my zwift setup in the garage ... after we move to a bigger house I'll look at making a true pain cave as I see no point doing it to our current house which will just become a rental ..

[@petergriffen6738]

Where is ur zwift set up I miss them videos

[@MarkLewisfitness]

Waiting on a new bike-should arrive today!

[@hikerJohn]

Do more . . . my pain cave is in my living room, a few more of these posts I might just tear out the carpet and put down some rubber on top of my red oak floors

[@Matto_Harvo]

I'd give two thumbs up if i could.

[@TrueFilter]

Cat based motivational wall art. Lol. Stick your stand up stuff up.

[@MarkLewisfitness]

a) it's 99% going to be up in the next few weeks b) it was 10 years ago so might be left where it lives - hidden in the darkest corner of youtube 🤣

[@DarenC]

None of these are as bad and untidy as my mojo dojo/Zen den. I can barely _get_ to the bike /o\

[@MarkLewisfitness]

Obstacle course to start cycling.....nice touch 😂💪

[@DarenC]

@@MarkLewisfitness Haha! I like your thinking :D

[@richielavey1565]

Declined bikes like the carbon bike are banned because of how aero they are

[@markalderdice2288]

they're called pain CAVES for a reason dude. Rough walled, dark, inhospitable spaces where one inflicts great discomfort upon oneself. Just like a window bay does not qualify as a cave, if the walls are painted and nice looking, then, by definition, it is NOT A CAVE!!! And stop going easy on people that have motivational wall art. There is never an excuse for that shit. Ever! It's like when people include a quote as part of their email signature. Sooooo cheesy and lame. Love your videos. "Sing like no one is listening. Love like you've never been hurt. Dance like nobody is watching." See what I mean?
