I had a look on the Largest Gym equipment retailers site today in the U.K, and literally everything is sold out - Only things left were 1kg discs and 5 Grand multigyms Lol Simply unheard of to see them baron of stock. The Supplement sector also must be making massive sales too atm - Just think of all the people who will have taken up exercising due to it being one of the only reasons you are allowed out of your home other than shopping!

I love having a home gym and when i decided to do it i said im gonna do it how i want so i went balls deep,with the 1” rubber floor to the leg press machine. The blowflex hvt machine in the back corner is the wifes after i got done it all turned out great and i was happy with the spacing and placement of machines in the pic up front by the leg press is adjustable dumb bells on a stand kind of hard to see.

Out of curiosity bud - What are the actual dimensions of that room for you to be able to get all that in? Is that a seated chest press in the bottom right or a utility bench, can't quite make it out.

I'd love a leg press and cable cross over machine like that Smile

Sneakerzilla's picture

That room is bigger but the rubber floor layed out is 24’ x 18’ it pretty much took the whole room theres only a bit behind the pic thats not shown and the machine in the bottom right is a seated leg ext/curl machine and behind that in the pic is the wifes bowfles hvt machine. The cable cross over wasnt bad to bring in and set up but the leg press machine was a beast to set up hahahaha basic tools to set up everything but every piece on the leg press/ hack squat was heavy and bulky as hell hahaha.

If you get a big jug of vinegar and soak those for two days it should take care of the rust.

All of my free weights, dumbbells and plate loads are in the basement.
The machines are in the garage.
The only one I have over 400 bucks in is the
70 degree with a super stack.
Most of this stuff was bought off gov deals.

Omg if I had the extra room

Cody831's picture

What’s on the wish list

press1's picture

I literally have:

A Powerack with chin bar/dipping handles
Squat Suspension slings
A Fixed flat bench (A strong adjustable one would be better for most)
A Seperate Dipping station
2 7ft Bars / EZ Bar
25kg plates and a dozen 20's etc

You can do everything with that minimal set up if you just want to concentrate on building your strength.

Then it really comes down to how much space you have - I'd love a leg press, seal bench, hyperextension but simply don't have the extra room required for it all.

The one thing that takes up more room than you expect is the 7 ft bar, always remember you need another foot ideally either side of it to get plates on and off. Fixed dumbells from 20's to 60's would be pretty cool too if you can afford them.

GrowMore's picture

Combined -

Dip/pull up station
Dip belt (used for weighted pull ups too)
Punch bag
4 x 25 litre water containers for weight

The set up cost me no more than £60 as I found a lot online.

I haven’t decided weather to run a full body training program or follow a split but as I have more fun mixing it up I’ll probably do circuits off all variations.

What’s yours?

Cody831's picture

Think I’d say my first purchase was chin up bar then bench and rack and bar and plates
I also bought the toasters! (power blocks)which are actually pretty handy also like the dip bar attachment and with that basic stuff I’ve came across like 300 extra pounds of plates from ppl buried in their garages
