Should we make more videos on the new gym? Want to make sure we're producing content you guys want to see!
YES
You should make more videos on the gym. Like where those other doors go. And any new equipment you get man.
Your content is always great so sure. If you are testing new equipment or finding new uses for existing equipment I don't care if you are in your garage gym or in the new gym. Will also be interesting to see how you continue to improve / upgrade the new gym over time.
Definitely post more videos. Would also be interested in hearing how your operating the gym, marketing, clientele etc etc. Appreciate all the great content. Keep it up.
Yes!!!!!
CONGRATS COOP!!!
Thanks Jon!!!
I smell a collabo!
Place looks great!
Also, wish you watched my plate tree review of the Titan. I mentioned how I couldn't get my Rogue plates on it lol.
Thanks Brandon! And I did watch it, but was an idiot and thought it wouldn't happen to me hahaha
When it comes to your Soundsystem the sound needs to come from above you. When you’re in a bore walled room like that your sound will bounce off the wall so much that doesn’t sound good and it won’t be as loud if it comes from overhead it goes down and disperses throughout the gym. A good sound technician will know what I’m talking about, I install on the west coast of the United States and we do stuff like that all the time.
Ahh very helpful!! Thank you!
not reallly depending on the structure of a wall the sound will act deferently
@@GarageGymReviews You may find that adding acoustic absorption and dispersion panels will help with echoes. This helps not only with music but just general verbal communication and acoustic comfort.
Wholesome
I know this is an old video but I'm proud of you coop. I love seeing good hard working people start their own business and succeed. How are things going now? Do you have a different location now or more locations or did it not work out? I would like to see an update tour of your gym. I hope you are flourishing man. Love your videos. Keep up the good work brother.
Coop, your enthusiasm is contagious. Gym looks great. Best of luck.
Thanks Don!
looks amazing man, i would suggest adding more mirrors though!
- Mikeg.lifts - if you wanna Stare at yourself .
@@StrengthCampBulls or check form and technique?
Lohe221 record it
@@StrengthCampBulls meh. With a mirror you get real time correction
Lohe221 but with cameras you can get better angles and slow down the video to see where to make the adjustments and corrections
Definitely much cooler than any commercial gym I've even been in. Great job man.
You gotta use a Sonos sound system, the speakers work off Wi-Fi and you can get as many of them as you want. They don't need to be wired all they need is an outlet. Hope this helps!
Fantastic facility! From the layout to the equipment and the entire atmosphere, you guys have done a tremendous job. I would love to come visit. Additionally, just because I think it will go under-appreciated, the orange polo and white pants combo is quite debonair!
Thanks brother!
More about the gym please. Equipment, clients, day-to-day, marketing and anything else. Great job. Love the videos.
Thanks Travis, will do!
I enjoy your reviews. I would like to see the success and transformations stories of the people you train. Especially when their results come from specific pieces or small sets of equipment. Those types of stories can really inspire both the new and the struggling.
Bose 901 would be the speakers I choose for this kind of application. They're designed to be hung from ceilings, and they're also designed to rely on reflections, so placement, and room treatment won't be important. They also can handle ridiculous amounts of power. I would hang 1 on each corner, and power them with a pair of Crown amps.
Grab 4 Yamaha DXR 12 speakers and daisy chain them (XLR WIRES). Set them at the 4 corners of your facility all meeting sound in the center. Raise the woofers ear level on the stands, set to stereo and bass mode and enjoy that sweet sound! Great videos, got lots of ideas for a home gym during this quarantine.
Super awesome. I’m an RN, CPT, Pn1 and functional fitness certified, and I dream of eventually owning a place like this.
Van Allen Where are you and how much capital would be needed?
Let's show this man some love. I wish you success and lots of health. Best wishes from Kazakhstan!
Thank you Abzal!
Nice! I'm happy for you Cooper. This is inspirational to me.
Awesome brother!
Looks pretty good, only thing Id add is mirrors on some walls.
Very cool. I think your best bet for a sound system is still going to be the wired route. grab a few more of those PA style speakers and run the cable through the ceiling or along the baseboards. You can pick up a cheap mixer to control them independently
Good info!
Extremely happy brother, progress and goals for you. May thingw go well and let the stars be the limit for you brother
For sound try out sonos speakers. They say they’re for home but we use them in our 7000 square foot warehouse space and they put out massive amounts of sound. We started out with only 2 and they worked great, now we have 4, one for each corner and it can get pretty loud. Sound quality is great too. We bought wall mounts and put them up high in the corners, but they sell floor stands as well.
Thomas Rush I have to agree. They fill a space very well for their size. There are easy to just purchase another one and connect together easily.
There a lot of other options there’s a lot of learning curve and it probably won’t function as well as just buying two or three of the Sonos speakers and placing them well.
Did you just go with Sonos 1's or 3's or 5's??
Garage Gym Reviews I have a three in my workshop that I can listen to podcast while I am working on a chopsaw. My neighbor is often asking me to turn it down. I have tried out the five And it has a lot more bass than my 3.
To talk with people I always have to turn my three down: so if you’re dealing with a lot of clients I would say the threes’ are pretty good to fill the space with sound.
Their customer service is also really good because I returned and exchanged the 1 for a 3 and just paid the difference 4 months after I purchased it.
Long time follower. Love the fact you are following your dreams. Nicely done. Thanks for taking us along for the ride
Thanks for the kind words and support!
Coop! Sound! Go Sonos. Put a Play:1 in each corner, connect to a central WiFi network, and you or your guy can stream from your phones and Connect with Spotify or Apple Music. They bump. Will be plenty loud. Go with a Play:2 if you want to slam
Brooo this gym actually looks better than any gym I've ever seen. The layout, size, equipment, colours, everything is perfect!
Just saw that you have your own space now. That’s so awesome man! I’m not a cross fitter at All but I Do love your videos. Impartial. Fair. Honest. I’ve taken a # of your opinions and purchased / not purchased pieces. And I must say - I’m happy with them all. Also love seeing UA-cam people go from “nothing” to starting a business. It’s inspiring. Keep it up man - and more videos for Sure if the new space !
Congrats on the gym! Love all your reviews. I have a 50x30 shop and use a Sonos speaker called play 1. Just one does my shop. They are wifi speakers and can be linked together so they all play as a stereo. Check them out. I would say do 2 to 4 speakers depending on how loud you want the music.
Awesome! Checking them out!
Coop would love to see more videos on how you started to open your gym, best way to gather all the equipment, clientele, etc. also for sound you’d be better off getting several smaller speakers, running them through the top facing down, and having 1 sound system (you can get them on Best Buy or even Amazon), you can also add sound boards so the sound doesn’t project everywhere and bounce off crazy.
For audio, i would run a mixboard and a pro audio set up, suspended from ceiling. Something that you would see in a church or a live music venue. the reason is that it is more versatile, especially if you want to do classes and run a wireless mic.
Congrats Coop! Good job! You're such an inspiration!
Thanks brother!
@@GarageGymReviews Coop, big fan here, you really are an inspiration, now im planning to open my own small commercial gym. Do you have any email? Just wanted to ask some insights or suggestions on my plans. I know you're a busy a guy, just taking a shot for some of your assistance. You, just being an inspiration helps a lot, thanks brother.
my suggestion with the sound system is small speakers that are 25W with a rack mounted amplifier, you can daisy chain the amplifiers together and produce sound with multiple amplifiers, you can then have feed in through either TV, radio, computer or even bluetooth receivers, it sounds expensive but just like other gym equipment, looking online you can find some sweet equipment for low prices second hand that can be upgraded later, you can hire a sparky to wire it from your office into the desired areas if you feel that the electronics rack would be unsightly.
But me personally, I prefer to take my own music, the gym music doesn't empower me it basically lulls me to sleep or makes me feel like a walking pace even at 2 steps per beat.
Sonos speakers, in an elevated place can really help fill out a place. Fantastic highs/mid/lows
Excellent, received this recommendation often. Need to pick them up!
Wishing nothing but success for the new gym!
Thank you!
Sonos Sounds system works great in our retails stores. Wireless and adjusts volume for each area.
For large area sound systems you should arrange smaller speakers in corners of the gym so they got outward towards the exercise equipment and customers
Hey Garage Gym Reviews, I second Logan Fish's comment. You would have to spend more money to install ceiling mounted or wall mounted speakers and route the wiring to a sound system. Some retail stores usually has the same set up where they blast music from the ceilings.
Your gym looks well organized and clean !!!!!! I would add an elliptical machine, some mirrors and some motivation posters on the wall. Also you could provide your customers a scaled discount depending on the period of their subscription to the gym. Lastly, since you want to expand, advertising through social media and local press is essential. You could also organize fitness happenings like competings with prices, etc. I wish you good luck !!!!
HOLY SHIT you did this all under $100K? It being 2021 I am wishing that you were able make it through the pandemic because this place is beautiful and you give me hope. If the odds didn't work out in your favour I am truly sorry.
I'd recommend putting the wagon wheels and chalk bowl behind the deadlift platform to make the front end open for floor jacking. Just a thought!
Looks good, I'd choose slightly different cardio equipment but you do have a lot of bars, no big cable station for the hercules curls though, not to mention the mirrors for mirin'.
thats one heck of a gym. congrats coop. love it.
Thank you!
You could add several smaller speakers into the corners and connect them to a receiver. Just go to a local speaker center and ask them for advice.
It's a really nice gym, but I feel it needs more personality such as well art, decor, etc. Additionally, it's missing some key elements for me such as mirrors and windows for natural lighting. I know it probably doesn't bother most people, but I love a gym with a lot of natural lighting; it helps it feel less dungeon-like to me.
After years of testing, you are able to put together the perfect strength training environment. Great Job!
Also, get the Kabuki Strength "Transformer Bar"
The perfect gym (for my type of training at least). I wish in my area was a gym like that.
Whoa... Your gym is out of sight. Awesome setup
Get 3 Sony XB60s and connect them via party chain. Controllable by iPhone or tablet and they can be taken to the beach or outside very easily. Cost effective too. Great videos. Keep it up
Go with Sonos speakers. Wireless control and you can have multiple speakers linked to the main.
Coop keep up the awesome reviews and yes we would love for you to keep us updated on the gym. I always check your channel before I buy anything👍
Thank you!
Definitely keep us updated on what you buy/sell from the gym. I loved this video!
Hey coop.
I am interested to know how you run the business. I am hoping to start a gym business soon and I would much appreciate your advice,tips,experience as guidance and inspiration.
Thank you
I’m planning to do the same! Would love to see more videos like that
Agreed!
DID HE EVER DO THIS
Congrats Coop. Check out Sonos sound system. One 5:play speaker would fill that whole room with great quality sound
Hi Coop, congratulation for your new gym. I just opened my new facility too last week and i just love your settings, very similar to what i have, yours it's much BIGGER!. About the sound system you will be better of if you buy something you can bluetooth together with the main source, so no cables around and you might play even some timers with a screen for intervals. I do have something like that in a small scale in my gym and gives my clients the chance to play their playlists too.
Hey brother! Congratulations and the gym looks great. For sound, Bose pro audio system. They look similar to what you are using but would enhance the sound in every square foot of your place.
I love it Coop. I'd definitely train there. I share your love for new and exciting equipment and get pumped when I walk into a gym that looks like that.
Sonos makes great bluetooth sound systems that you can just keep adding speakers to and cover whichever areas which out paying install
You probably figured something out since this was a year ago but we used a home theater sound system, very affordable and it was very loud and our gym was about the same size. We placed speakers in each corner and the center channel in the middle and it was great.
Congratulations. As far as music there are some options. You can take a look at Sonos units as a simple option or check out ISP technologies.. they have speakers with that run over network cabling. The larger units sm800s would fill your room with sound and can be controlled by zones. I've a contact if your interested
Awsome Coop! Get some vid‘s of some equipment being used
I've been on the fence opening my own facility. I have the knowledge, capital and following. Thank you for posting this, your content makes me feel more confident in the purchasing process. Great client psychology insight on the bar coloring and branding too. Great insight.
I love the gym Coop. But I'm just used to seeing everything messed with chalk and seeing the old svhool iron plates. So it's nice seeing an amazing clean and functional gym.
That’s awesome! Congrats!
Good on ya, Coop! Best wishes for success as big as your gainz and gainz as big as your success!!!!
Thanks Jim!
What a sweet gym! If I’m ever in the area, I’m definitely stopping by! Great job Coop!
Speakers on the cealling
that's what Texas Tech did
Sounded nice everywhere
@garagegymreviews for your sound issue, Sonos is the best. You can have as many speakers as you want linked on WiFi and each one can be controlled from your phone or tablet. Each can play it’s own music or all play the same off of one phone/tablet and they are small with a huge output
Recently started seeing some of your old videos and you had some good information to offer- your are an inspiration man! Best of luck to your business
Beautiful gym bro!,you should probably do small videos using all the equipment you have in the gym,best of luck🙏🏿
Congrats on the new business. Looks great.
Thank you!
Outstanding! Good luck with your new venture.
Best choice for you sound system Bang & Olufsen beosound edge in the middle of the gym.Mount on the wall in the top right corner of the goal (from bottom to center system180 sm )
Yeah boy so happy for you big things are going to happen!!!!!!
That gym looks really good. Great work. Love the attention to the different types of equipment.
Sweet setup! Congrats on the gym bro!
Thank you!
As far as getting better sound. Those speakers with stands alot of times can be mounted to the ceilings or walls with proper mounting hardware, and losing the stands. Then its just more wire between them and making sure the amp is strong enough to push the sound. Remember amp whats are equally divided between the number of speakers. So do ur research on what good amp wattage Is good for the sqr feet, and make sure to account for the number of speakers its wired to.
I would love to know about how you get clientele.
Been thinking of opening a gym myself.
Joseph Williams -JAWs Fitness I wondered this too! I would love to see a video on this
Looks like an awesome facility. You did well with the layout. Hope you are successful and can build off what you have started.
Thank you!
Nice space!! A few obs' from a user perspective, there is tons of great stuff here, but it won't take long for some to feel like they are wasting potential work time, on moving stuff out of the way to get the item they want to use, like:
- the bench in front of the dumbbells and kettlebells would get on my nerves,
- having to move the wheelbarrow and the tank, to get the sled and the yoke out would also piss me off,
- the chains and straps mixed in behind the bands, I had to look away lol. Please expand that rack to the adjacent wall.
- plyo-boxes and plates stuck in the corner
- also, not sure how often ghd and reverse hyper, are in use at the same time but they seem awfully close together. Surprisingly enough, this could be a deterrent.
Really enjoyed this video! Hope to see future updates
Yo, I think the gym is nice but I think you should add long ass mirror along the wall near the squat rack, and some windows.
Yea..you want to.check your form when working out
@@vp3179 That's why you take videos and keep your eyes on one point
@@vp3179 no, it's so i can curl
Wow! That gym looks awesome! Congrats!
Thank you!
your organization skills is something I aspire to.
For sound equipment you should just buy two or more sets of good used or new (depending on budget) bookshelf speakers and a surround sound receiver. I can link some suggestions if you are interested.
OMG!!! That gym is absolutely beautiful. Congrats, dude!!!
Super excited for you guys! I live in republic and will definitely swing by to check out the place.
Awesome! Come on by!
First class guys. Excellent gym. Best of luck.
Beautiful set up, Coop!
Congrats Coop! 👍
Thank you!
Love it have sen all your videos from the garage, hope you do not stop showing from the garage but just think you have an awsome gym.
Nope, garage is getting even better
Congrats on the venture.. If you're still looking for sound reinforcement then you should look into Bill Fitzmaurice designs, particularly the SLAPro... It's a compact unobtrusive speaker that puts out great sound for its size. When coupled with a Subwoofer it's beastly. Best part it's a DIY situation that presents a value of up to 5x what it would cost to buy a similar EAW system.
How did I not know you were in MO and only a few hours away?!
I'm in the military so I wont be home for awhile but I cant wait to go see it and say hello!
I haven't watched it completely so I'm sorry if I'm wrong. > What I like in my gym is mirrors. Even when I don't look at it for most of the time I still like to think it's their for when I need to do a form check. Otherwise this looks really nice.
The proportion of cardio equipment to lifting equipment is perfect!
You really do have a great channel, I love what you do for people who want to build home gyms
Great job, awesome gym. 👍🏻🏋🏼♂️💪🏻
Thank you!
Congrats! Looks great
Nice job man. Hope you guys knock it out of the park with it. Best of luck. 👌
Thanks Rick!
SICK SETUP MAN!!
Thank you!
Wicked gym! Keep the videos coming Coop.
Tremendous, Congratulations on this new positive venture
Awesome video. All your videos have been really helpful. Keep up the good work...
