Thats the fitness gear rack at dicks. Im saving to buy an elite rack, not really sure y anymore though. This one is way stronger than ill ever be, and has been super solid for the little while ive owned it, deff well worth the 400 bucks. I just want to say I have an Elite I guess lol, plus the colors will match better lol.

Amazing what a few simple changes can do. Congratulations.

I'd instead put the money towards a set of Ironmasters to replace the dumbbells. I have a set like those (I believe they're Bowflex 0-90s). I've found that I can't lift the equal poundage as when using my pro dumbbells because of the awkward grip and overall balance.

If my memory serves me right, this was the same lady that bought you the power rack OP? You got a good woman there. The place looks great. I find it makes it a lot easier to pull yourself off the couch when the place is warmer and tidyer.

I wouldn't call it "Pretty" I think it looks way better though! She upgraded it nicely.

I can see an interior design subsection looming!

[Efilon]

Looking good man
Don't break the mirror!

[morebarbell]

Letting some light in your gym is good --those blinds are a good idea. I wouldn't be embarrassed by the rack... but I might have hid those bowflex dumbbells before taking the photo.

Whats the room size?

First she gets you the power rack and now this... amazing...!!! Just a few simple changes and it looks so much better. well done

Lol figured they would come up. Ive been looking on craigs list for better, they work unless I find a good deal.

The very one and the same, she came in the other day and asked what I wanted for christmas, I said either a mirror or stall matt to put unded the rack. Well she got the 2 mirrors you see on the side at walmart but when we hung them they didnt quite cover the old window and the reflections were different hights ( old crooked walls I guess) So she went get a big one at the glass place I decided to hange it with notched molding and it made a nice frame. I painted it black cause I liked the look on the little ones and she just ran with the color around the room. She said I had to stall matt the hole room if I waned some cause of the difference in hight, I didnt argue. The blinds were her call she said the foil didnt match anymore lol. The celling fan didnt work and was in the way so when I was changing out the other two in the house I just bought a big florresent light and replaced it.

That was what she told the guy at lowes when we were buying molding for the mirror and paint. We were making a pretty weight room. I think serious is a better adjitive for the look, Either way love the outcome.

Whats the room size?

11' x 13' there is a tread mill to the right of the bike in that corner, and a corner computer desk on the near corner you cant see. Also where my big stereo is, cant lift without loud tunes .

[irongrandpa]

Changes look good, lifting is always better in a nice enviroment. Update equipment as needed to keep wife happy.

Really liking the blinds, they look much nicer than the silver foil / insulation.

Yea they finished the room, I was nervous when the foil came down but I got use to the blinds real quick.
