Been building my home gym since 2019 and have spent $8,730. Not only do I use it with my family, but I have had dozens of friends over in the past 5 years to use it. Great investment
My basement is easily over 20K but I try to avoid a running number in case the wife asks :) Hey the kids didn't want to go to college anyway right? Any FB marketplace finds?
Your video popped up thanks to the algorithm, and I’m glad it did. I’m a long time lifter who always looked forward to 5:00 when I would head to the local gym. But in March 2020 when the gyms closed, I immediately began acquiring home gym equipment. Since then I have acquired pieces of equipment that are better than the commercial gym equipment. The only time I work out at a commercial gym is if I’m out of town. Thanks for the video!
Bells of Steel plate loaded lat pulldown low row machine, followed by the Titan leverage squat machine. My favorite bars are the same as yours- the multi-grip bar and the trap bar. My commercial gym didn’t have these bars.
I gotta say, love your channel. You've done great at really hitting all the tough points of the home gym community and covering things from all angles. I started in middle school with a piston based rower gadget that I could bench and curl with then dumbbells then power blocks and probably 20 iterations of home gyms, basement gyms to where I now have a detached garage that's evolved into a full gym. I look at it like we are all to gym products what car guys are to cars. You don't need a project car to get from point A to B just like I don't need a whole gym to get into shape but it's a fun hobby and as far as hobbies go, while I waste way too much money on it at least it's a healthier outler than a lot of hobbies. Anyway, great channel, keep up the great work.
You hit a number of legit points. I'd rather have a home gym hobby vs car or watch. Probably run me a lot less and more practical. But to each their own. What type of layout do you have in your garage?
HELL YEAH!!! LONG AND AWAITED BRO. Yo this is good editing and pacing, can tell a lot of work into this! Well worth the wait, and happy to see it man. Keep it up! 20k is a great milestone! Your kids look just like you lol Used equipment is how I got most of my equipment. I'd estimate that I spent about 1.5k - 2k over the past 3.5 years
Yeah spent over a week editing this and doing revisions. Cut ti down from 3 hours to remove all the FLUFF. What was the last piece you got on FB Market place? It's a gold mine.
The best thing about this is that you use your gym. It's clear you care about the workout and not just the channel. Keep up the good work, and lift heavy.
Yeah it gets used probably too often. The hard part is getting rid of stuff to save space, but I get wicked pissed when i'm stepping over odds and ends
@@NoFate247I spread the love my man. Got representation from a bunch of brands, big and small. Sorinex, elitefts, Rogue, REP, Ghost, Stray Dog, Oak Club, American Barbell, Prime, Spud, Titan, Ironmaster, PowerBlocks to name a few. If it works, it works.
@@NoFate247damn my comment got deleted probably because I listed too many brands but I spread the love, my man. I have stuff from a number of brands, big and small, pricey and cheap.
My man!!! First off congrats on the 20k subscribers and 2nd, one hell of a gym tour. Love that you have the neck harness and tibia bar. I can’t bear to add up my gym so I’m not sure what I spent, easy answer is too much 😅
Nice video and a ton of great points that you made including the equipment at gyms. I remember the last day I lifted at LA Fitness and the barbell for benching literally had no more knurling on it. And waiting for any type of leg machine in the Miami area at a gym is worse than your wait at the DMV. I'm at about 3yrs now of having a Home Gym and it's fun to look back at how it started and what equipment I have upgraded and replaced. Like you a lot of items have been birthday, XMas, and Father's Day gifts.
Congrats on 20K my friend. The best gym is the one you use. Yours looks fantastic. I agree 100%. Putting a gym in my garage was the best decision I have ever made. so much time savings and no my gym memberships. Although you certainly dont save any money owning a home gym lol.
Congrats on your 20.000 suscribers! Love your gym, great set up and color theme! I have the same color theme in reverse more black less red :) So far I've spend about 22k on my home gym since 2020, and need to save for a free motion cable mashine I need, then I am done of needs and space :D
Nice brother. You might have put me over the edge seeing you standing next to that 5200 vertically. I would have chosen the same color layout, but if I ever do get it you forced me to mix it up.
@@NoFate247 I'm basically using a free bench I got with my quantum trainer. It's honestly not bad, but I like it because I can fold it away. I had a buzzsaw, but thing was such a tank for my space, I gave it away to a neighbor. Need to find that mid ground of heavy but easy to store.
~10k just on cardio: Octane q45, pproform hiit trainer, water rower, freemotion 790 treadmill. ~3k on weights/bench/squat stand/bars etc/ Right now I am looking to get a leg machine; enter bell squat or leg press/hack squat.
On equipment I currently still own and 1 pre-ordered set of adjustable DBs & 1 full set of DD plates I'm buying off a guy ~$15,250 - this is spread out over a few years, btw. Then a belt from Beltfed, barbel jack, wall control, custom banner, DIY storage shelf, Amazon fire TV & wall mount so that figure is actually higher. I've also got the AB5200 2.0 and thing is a winner, vertical storage (chef's kiss). Open rackable trap bar - I totally use it for low grip deadlifts every week (I find this safer than conventional deadlifts and even squats), along with at least getting used for an incline chest press or a shoulder press variation. Specialty bars add so much variety, I love mine dearly. Good call on whole foods and getting kiddos into healthy habits - we do the same, idk if they've ever had a happy meal. Did we hear a total spend figure in this video??
@@NoFate247 I especially liked the part about eating healthy food. Also those super attractive children. The boy holding up a dinner plate when you were talking about plates was comical.
Instead of a midlife crisis sports car, I have a midlife crisis home gym. My first was stuff I bought and put in mom's basement as a teen. Then school and commercial gyms for about 20 years before family and work made a home gym a necessity. Started with middle-of-the-road, have upgraded to quality. I won't add up the total, because it might discourage me from spending more. Nice to see your tour.
Yeah the family life really makes it a necessity, spending time traveling to and from the gym just isn't in the cards as much when responsibilities hit. Just tell me over or under 20K in your home gym currently, if you have to guess!
@@NoFate247 Current value is probably just below $20k, depending on how one values some of the "vintage" stuff like 5-90 York RH set or the items I bought used. I go USA made as much as possible, and live within reasonable driving distance of Rogue, Straydog, Elite FTS, and Bridge Built. And as you know, a gym is never done . . . And congratulations on 20k, it's been fun watching your channel grow.
@@NoFate247 if I was they only one using my gym it would probably be much much fuller but with having big lift parties regularly I need lots of open space
I meant when not a well stocked frid, it usually means dysfunctional. That's a well stocked and smartly stocked frig with health and children in focus. I see folks in line @ grocery store with huge stockpiles of calories that are very likely malnourished.
@@briand5047 Yeah I try to not look at other people's carts just keep my blinders on and do me. But sometimes you catch a glimpse and it's heart breaking
Not sure, need to get rid of a few things I don't use enough but nothing I think I need or want. Sure that'll change, excited to get the rep peppin adjustable dumbbells
@@NoFate247 The Colorado is one I haven't tried yet, but every one I have tried has been great. I'm from CO, so I kind of want that bar just for the flag on the endcap!
Hi Jonathan of NoFate247: Ed Leong of Bad Boy Club of SF. Your home gym looks full. As you know, a home gym is never complete.

Great video. Really cool to see what you started with to what you have now. Also enjoyed seeing your opinion on different parts of your gym.
Would you have done anything different
