I didn't want to hyjack the "My Home Gym" thread, so I posted this one.

Curious to see some other peoples home gym setup area.

I'm still in the process of setting mine up and purchasing other equipment, as well as finishing my basement. But here goes as it stands now.

did you rip up the ceiling to make it fit? Also is that a portable air conditioning unit you got?

Bulldoggg · 07-22-2005, 12:17 PM

KiotiHulk, nice setup man!

I also ordered a Powertec Power Rack, just waiting for them to come instock again so it can be delivered. I also ordered a Hoist HF-165 Flat/Incline/Decline bench, and that will be delivered with my rack.

How do you like your power rack so far? What type of bench do you have?

JamesJJk · 07-22-2005, 01:54 PM

KiotiHulk,

What mats did you buy, where from, how much?

rungrl · 07-22-2005, 03:46 PM

I have a very similar setup.....you can buy the mats at Dick Sporting Goods. You buy them like puzzle pieces so you can make the mat as big as it needs to be.

You can get excellent quality heavy duty 3/4 inch thick 4ft x 6ft rubber horse mats at farm supply stores. They cost 1/3 of what exercise stores will charge you and they are alot more heavy duty.

Mr. Fancypants:
Nope the power rack "just fit", the ceiling height is about 86" and the unit I think is about 81" so it comes farily close. That unit in the corner is a dehumidifier, keeps the dampness out of the basement as well as prevents some rust buildup on the equipment.

Bulldoggg:
The rack is great for the price, I have done squats and military press, inside the rack itself, and it works fine, I'd like a little more room from the front to the back. The cable system is good/great it is a little different from the weight stack style in the gym but it works just as good. I do not have a bench yet, I've been debating on which one to get

JamesJJk:
I got mine at Southern States just like Bulldoggg had stated, about $39 a piece. 3/4" 6'x4'

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
All the pictures look great, keep'em coming, just trying to get ideas for ways to arrange and set mine up

Here is a quick pic of my garage gym. We just moved 3 weeks ago, so I still have to get a little more organized in the garage.

Got a nice set-up.

I was thinking of something like that would be nice.

eyeofthetiger · 07-24-2005, 07:01 AM

heres my contribution. Legpress is used for calf work, and the occasional useless exercise (like leg press

)

eyeofthetiger · 07-24-2005, 07:06 AM

heres some more. Ive modified my seated calf machine, because the padding was so soft that it hurt my legs when i was using the machine, so i have bought some new foam thats more dense, and i havent upholstered the calf machine yet.

I also have 650 pound of olympic plates and another olympic bar that i havent pictures, and an exercise bike also.

Home gyms rule. Im looking at adding a lifting platform in the next few weeks, ill be building it myself.

Do you find it to be stable? Where did you get it and how much did it cost. I am weighing in on getting a leg press set up right now and looking for advice.

Thanks

I didn't bother to clean up first but here it is

vadox6466 · 09-03-2005, 12:05 PM

Here's my gym.. Not a bad set up for a 15 year old, and I'm the only one who uses it too. I love my parents xD

vadox6466 · 09-03-2005, 12:08 PM

more pictues

bryan361 · 09-03-2005, 03:14 PM

Here's my home gym. Not much there at the moment, but it can be added to over time.

Newbydubie · 09-03-2005, 03:56 PM

Here's mine. (not much but it's a start) My training buddy was wiped out after that workout!

How do you like this powertech rack? I am thinking of buying this. I was leaning towards the bowflex ultimate 2 but I am thinking about the equipment you have as well as a power block.

I was leaning towards a bowflex because I had shoulder surgery a few months ago and that type of machine might be better on my shoulders

rexoverbey · 10-03-2005, 01:04 PM

This is my first post and thought I would start here.

Here's my gym...

Pic one is my pullup/dip rack, weight trees, dumbells, and bars.

Pic two is my aerobic stuff treadmill, stair stepper, ect.

Pic three is my bench with lat/leg attachments.

latspread · 02-12-2006, 12:05 PM

I personally don't see a point in having your own "home gym"--unless of course you are rich and have a couple thousand to blow. It's not very expensive to get a membership to a local gym with quality equipment.
