Watched a lot of home gym tours and yours is one of my favorites. No wasted space and you can do most exercises. Also great that you have open space in the middle of the gym. Well thought out gym!!
Awesome gym. Thanks for sharing! I love how you have a jammer arm setup, separate from your cable stacks, and then a separate squat rack. That must save so much time.
I enjoyed the tour of your gym, bro! Great setup and use of space! Filled with well-thought out equipment that is all modular/usable so you’re not wasting any space.
love your Gym ,besides the apex Rack of course my favorite pieces that I would like to have is the Sorinex adjustable pull up bar handles,the Thompson Fatbells and the Dufallo Bar ,Cheers
Such a great set up. One of the nicest home gyms I've seen with such quality equipment. Where did you get your balance pads from? Haven't seen wipeable ones rather than exposed foam and these seem more durable
The gym pin for the cable stack is nice, but what is the max weight the cables can tolerate before they snap since they are not designed to lift heavier than their designated weight stack?
Sorinex uses 3/16" nylon coated aircraft cable. Breaking strength is 4200 lb and average recommended working strength for cables is 20% breaking, so 840 lb. No concerns regarding the gym pin.
I love the way you configured your apex with the kettle shelves acting as wide crossmembers. I had it with the standard crossmembers with those shelves between the center. The shelves got in the way of a spotter, and the crossmembers weren’t wide enough in the normal config. I ended up taking it all apart, selling the lat pull-down and fcc and making it into an 8 post rack instead.
Thanks! Yeah the center shelf is so tempting for storage but I like the look of that open, at least for now. I don't plan on moving any time soon but I do like the flexibility of this for the long run
Great setup, love the Apex rack. Could you tell me the width of the whole thing? It seems a lot wider than the 104.5 in that Sorinex states on their website.
Is your flooring carpet tiles? Need new gym flooring and I've been thinking about those rather than something made of rubber that'll stink up the place. If so how do you like it?
The flooring is a multi-layered rubber-- same quality/thickness you'd find in commercial facilities. Softer top layer for comfort and firmer bottom layer to protect your concrete pad from dropping weights. It also won't compress under the rack over time. And no smell! The company is PLAE. It came shipped on a pallette in four 4 foot wide spools that each weighed 450 lb. Almost 2000 lb. of rubber down there! It was installed directly to the concrete pad with adhesive. Rubber tiles would have been easier to get downstairs and would be my recommendation for basement gyms.
Thank you! The Apex rack starts at 9k USD but doesn't include most of the accessories or storage shelves. It ended up being a little over 20k with the upgrades. This price also includes shipping & install.
How smooth are those cables? I am thinking about getting this, rogue, or prime fitness and I can't seem to get many opinions on the sorinex cable system. Also, how did you set up your rack to get cables attached to your jammer arms?
The sorinex cable system is fantastic-- so smooth. Very high quality. The Rogue cable system doesn't fit under 9 ft ceilings so I never considered it. I was thinking about the Prime cable but decided I wanted the integration of everything for more space efficiency. It would be nice if they came closer together like the articulating arms of a Prime, but I have no regrets. And if I ever want to put the cable columns closer together later on down the line I can do that and just detach them from the rack. I'll do a bit about my cable / jammer arm set up on the next home gym video: I mounted 2 standard (amazon purchased) pulleys on the back of the rack and have extra cables I can quickly connect / disconnect to attach the arms to the cable stacks. This gives me enough cable length to use the jammer arms.

Great setup. Like how you actually showed some of the uses you personally like and prefer. Hope to see more as you change it up or refine.
Thanks! I already have a few new pieces I'll be reviewing for a round 2 in a few months.
great versatility. thanks for showing so many ways to use.
Great video. Super informative and in depth.

Love the flat rack!
Sorry if I missed you mentioning it, but where can I get those black plastic looking blocks you were using for the belt squat and deficit deadlifts?
Great setup, love the Apex rack. Could you tell me the width of the whole thing? It seems a lot wider than the 104.5 in that Sorinex states on their website.
Looking for a Hydragym power neck machine.
Love your gym. How big is the basement gym in sqf?
What is the red adjustable stool at 10:10?
It's titan. Not a great piece to be honest. A little too wobbly for my liking for a plyo box
Which rubber mats were you using for deficit deadlifts?
DC blocks
I'm jealous
Great video man ! What are you using to store your physio ball ? I’ve been looking for something like this for my gym
its called "the loop" from perform better

Where'd you get the desk? Definitely need one for my Erg

Is that carpet on the floor
Beautiful set! Pretty jealous. Wish I had the space for this setup. If you don't mind me asking, about how much did you spend on the rack?

Sorinex are great quality, but don't have many options for accessories.

@@CitizenAthletics Thanks so much for the respones. I eagerly await that video of the jammer arms/cable since I plan on doing the same. Thanks a lot!
Bahaha. Ankle rester 3000. Nice
What's the size of the room please?
About 15 x 24
Problem when you use the "gym pin" many of the cable machines have weight limits and this exceeds it. Therefore causes damage. Just a thought
I'm not concerned about that with this rack but I agree that in some applications it can be risky.
Plz dont stop teaching from Thailand
Nice, but I didn't see a Total Gym Fit. You're missing out. Seriously.
Lol I purchased 1 of those for my Pt clinic. THey are great.
Nice, but way oversubscribed.
Very interesting review my son. Irish Bob is pleased he was wise enough to subscribe.
