Bench, weights ranging from 5 to 45s, thise adjustable bowflex dumbells and a pull up/dip bar.


All in all i paid about $600 over time for everything. Well worth it

I have a home gym, but ironically have stopped using it :snoop:

But you should be able to build a good home gym for like $1000. I got this cage:



Bought like 400lb of olympic weights and maybe 200lb of standard weights, and bars/handles/a bench etc. With a kid now though I don't have the time to workout at home. Wifey does though so she uses the equipment.

I bought my equipment from rogue fitness. I don't remember how much it cost. 2k? If I could do it again I would've gone elsewhere for everything except my olympic weightlifting bar. Very good quality but very expensive. They make things for actual gyms. I don't need anything that durable.

I have power blocks that go up to 90 lbs and I like them a lot. I've had them for almost 10 years now. Very durable. My only complaint is I bought fat gripz and they don't fit because of the design.

I have 2 squat racks, 2 olympic bars, 2 adjustable benches, 2 PowerBlocks, and a lying hamstring curl machine. I bought 2 of everything cuz my wife kept getting in the way and I figured we'd bond together in the gym... boy was i wrong. I wasted money on that shyt. She don't workout no more :martin:

I would've got a bowflex to do machine work instead of the second cage. Bowflex gets a lot of flak but I think they're an amazing value if you outfit your gym with the things i mentioned above.

One of the bedrooms, we use the hell out of the garage

A room for the gym was one of the things we looked for when we were home shopping. Next house I want a basement :demonic:

I guess for context, I'm really asking if its an upstairs room, I made a mini gym upstairs mainly for my girl to use and I`ll use it if the weather is bad. I have an elliptical, powerblocks, and resistance bands. Was debating on getting a cage or at least a bench but wasn't sure how all that weight would be on the structure of the home. Ideally when ever I eventually upgrade my home I plan on having a basement.

Think about how heavy furniture is. Me + wifey + king size bed is probably 500-600lbs. No problems. I'd be a little weary about deadlifting but I deadlifted 325lbs for reps for weeks with no issues.

It's mainly be for bench and shoulder workouts. Legs I'd probably still go to gym. IDK If I have enough space for a full cage.

real talk with craiglist and gyms closing down you can feast for 800-1200....You really only need squat racks, olympic bar, about 300-400 in weights maybe a dumbbell, and that flat bench that also has the leg extension and pull up bar/dip station.
