Pic's and discussion of your "Home Gym"

[BAVE]

Been a while since I posted to this forum... I forgot about the 50 post limitation...that's kind of weird. Anywho, here's my contribution. I'm just getting starting with building my gym and just purchased my first item.

Got the set, dumbbells/rack, on craigslist. The 3D view is what I hope my gym will look like in the next few months

Awesome. I'd also like to know what size the room is.

[MEDPILOT]

Room size is 16' wide 21' deep. Ceiling is 8 1/2' high. Not too bad for being a basement in Phoenix AZ.

Currently shopping for a 7ft half rack. I'm probably going to go with a Rae Crowther rack. Not too many "commercial type" 7ft racks out there that offer as many options.

In case anyone was curious, I got my rubber flooring from rubberflooringinc . com. Used 1/2" 4' wide rolls. If I had to do it again, I would have bought the tiles with color flecks. Installation with the rolls was a PIA because my walls are not as straight as they look.
Plus tiles would be easier to replace if I had some damage. And the color flecks hide dirt better. Being that the floor is 100% black, it shows every speck of dirt. :P

I don't want to start a new thread to do this, but can someone tell me how thick exactly stall mats are from TSC? 3/4"?
Also, if someone could please take a picture of theirs so I have a good idea of the size of one (depth), that would be appreciated greatly.

[irongrandpa]

The ones I got are 6'x4'x 3/4"

8'x4' and 3/4" thick.

I always though they were 4x6 3/4

The mats from TSC are 6'x4'x3/4", I'm sure that NM just made a faux pas, as most of us have done in the past.

I believe all the TSC mats have a diamond plate texture and grooved bottoms. I picked mine up at Atwoods mine are smooth on both sides.

[matrix563]

mine came from tsc and are smooth on both sides. they had this hexagon pebble shape when i went there for them, but still some of the smooth ones.

Different TSC's use different manufacturers. I have the diamond plate ones I got locally, but have been back when they had the pebble finish. I was told that they don't specify when ordering, so you get, what you get, lol.

i needed 2 more for my purposes, and i'm glad they still had the smooth one. the pebble would be a nightmare to clean up with the cats dragging loose litter out sometimes

Thanks a lot for all the feedback

Thanks. Planet Fitness wiped out the last gym in town. I've been working and saving for a while. I have alot more items on my wish list but very happy with being able to squat and deadlift again.

Nice. Is that the platinum sparkle color? How long did it take them to get the rack to you?

Ha you were preparing for the end of the world. I guess you didnt want to deal with the lunk alarm. Anyways now you can grunt all you want in the comfort of your home.

The color is called silver vein. Legend was very clear that production would be 8 or 9 weeks. As I understand it they custom make ever piece. I had a couple questions and called the guy I dealt with Andrew Hall (very helpful) and he let me know that they were ahead of schedule on production. It actually only took about 6 1/2 weeks which was a nice surprise.

It's funny that they advertise as being a "judgement free zone" however they judge anyone that lifts over a 75 # dumbell and is intense with his or her workout .

Someone's been leaving more than just cookies and milk for Santa.


Very nice.

Hey Guys, been lurking around here for the past year or so. Finally got around to putting my home setup together after about 4 months of buying and several more of saving. Some of the threads in this section were definitely a big help in being able to find equipment and determining which stuff to get.

Overview


Rack/Platforms


Bars


GHR


High/Low Pulley



Lastly, a video tour that explains a little more about what I have.

There ya are! It went together fine. Should have looked at everything first before I started putting the stack together....but it all worked out in the end.

What kind of Lat pulldown is it? I'm liking the look of it

I bought it from ND Mike. He may know more about it, but it is made by Wells Fabrication out of Greenfield, IN. I have 4-5 uses out of it and have no complaints other than adapting to it at first, which wasn't a big deal.
