Building a Home Gym Under 1000 - Budget Garage Gym: 10 Items & Options
Вставка
- Опубліковано 29 чер 2024
- Building a Home Gym Under 1000 is a bit of a challenge now with prices soaring but you can still create that budget garage gym (and a really nice home gym) without spending all your money. In this video I cover 10 different items and options for each one and give you a price range for each.
I give a few example budget garage gym builds for under 1000 with these 10 items and walk you through experiences and thoughts on them. A garage gym doesn't have to be expensive and these are great budget home gym items that you can build off of. These are 10 items with options for each that you won't regret spending money on later on. I would put these (and have or have had) these items in my garage gym. Admittedly nobody is going to buy all 10 but I tried to give options (ok maybe too many) and you can pick and choose what works for you.

Anyone have other budget items to add to the list? Let me know. Admittedly I did cut this down some, I know... Hard to believe it was actually longer than this!
Made a pair of parallettes using PVC from Home Depot for $35
I never even thought of that one. Smart!
DIY TRX using Husky Hangalls, caribiner or quick link, strapping and pvc pipe for handles cost me $24. 80lb sandbag cost approximately $35 using duffle bag, rubber mulch and gravel. Search for how-to on UA-cam.
Instead of buying kettlebells just get a kettlebell converter and buy more dumbbells. It's on amazon
@@DavidMVera I own one! It's going to be in my ultra budget build videos. It's just still packed somewhere...
You are easily becoming my favorite gym UA-camr. Extremely entertaining, please keep them coming!
Thanks! I'm trying. I appreciate it.
Great tips! People always seem to think they need 10-25k to build a home gym but you can do 80-90% of what you’d want to do in a gym with a 1,000 set up.
You can definitely get a lot done with much less than a lot of us end up with.
Straight to the facts.
enough information without wasting time, I subscribed.
Amazing video man! This video easily deserves 10 times the views that it has and I really appreciate the effort you put in this video.
Thank you! Hopefully some of my others get the same review!
I couldn't agree more about spending a good chunk of your budget on a great rack. I built my home gym with rack Halloween weekend 1993, and even then the majority of my money went to the rack and I never regretted it all the years I used it.
Yep it'll pay itself off over time and be something you can use forever and build off of if you do it right
Recently found your channel and the grab ass in this video simply makes it the best. Loved the intro
We definitely appreciate all the hard work you have put in. I've been researching how to make my home gym as bad ass as possible amd you my friend have made my job A LOT easier. I thank you so much.
Thank you! Glad to know you're enjoying the content!
Solid video man, this was awesome.
Thank you! You don't even want to know how much time I spent on this. Glad you enjoyed it.
Awesome video man.
Really appreciate all your research.
Thanks! I appreciate the encouragement!
U empower us everyday u r truly an inspiration
Great video -learned alot...out takes at the end are a good touch , enjoyed the laugh, thumbs up
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed how bad I am at this and that it was informative as well
I referenced this heavily for building my home gym. Thank you!
that's awesome!
GREAT VIDEO! THANKS FOR YOUR HARD WORK/RESEARCH!
Hope it helps!
This is a really good and informative video! Subbed. Great job!
Thanks! It took forever so I'm glad it's being well received. I appreciate the kind words and the sub.
Awesome video! I just stated my home gym and wish I saw this earlier but I got some of items you listed. Thank you for the video.
Thanks for watching and for the kind words! Hope your build goes well.
Just Subscribed! Watched 3 of your videos today on a binge
Awww yeah! There's a lot more so feel free to binge some more. Thanks for the add!
Wow. Great video. I just subbed….now I will be binge watching all existing videos!
Enjoy! Hopefully you enjoy them, maybe go in order (newest to old) to watch the evolution (or devolution?). Thanks for the sub!
Very well made and helpful video, keep up the good work
Thank you! This type of video specifically take a lot of time so I'm glad it came out good.
Great content dude. Keep it up.
Thanks! Doing my best
Just found your channel and glad I did, i watch coop as well. I'm leaning hard to getting Rogue Y-2 & working from that. Based on size of my garage, being able to move it regularly and not have it bolted to the wall or floor, looks to be my sweet spot. Really do enjoy what you're doing, ty.
Thanks for the support! Let us know what you end up with! Sounds like you're doing your research which is the most important part.
Awesome video man! Thank you!
You're welcome. Thanks! Hope it helps.
Jajajja epic, I just had to subscribe right away after the bench part.
After I film these I forget what I did and said 😭 it's a defense mechanism so I don't remember how long I spent on them 😂
Great video! Thank you!
Hope it's helpful
Great content!
Thanks mate!
It's a really great vid! Greets from Belgium
Thanks! Glad you liked it
I bought my bumper plates right before COVID started and all that was left on Rogue were their bumper plates that cost ~$300/ 2 45lb plates. Spend ~$1,000 just on 45 plates… They are some of the best quality bumper plates I’ve seen tho. I really wanted to get those iron plates because I love that ringing sound when you lift.
yeah... plates really can kill the budget. Glad you're happy with yours, I love my Rogue bumpers but man were they pricey.
I either watch too many fitness videos (which I do) or the algorithm really picked you up on this one either way good vid, subbed 👌
Good job algorithm and thanks for the sub!
Great Vid
Hey Gluck! Was researching for my home gym and randomly stumbled upon your channel. What are the odds lol. Great stuff hope all is good!
If this was really the master of UA-cam wouldn't you have 200k subs?
Just found your channel! Nice intro haha. And very nice gym!
Thanks! Those intros take a lot of work! Hope you enjoy the channel.
Subbed! Closing on a house on June 28th. I got 3-4 grand to build a nice gym. this Channel is perfect right now for me to do my research. Thank you
I closed on mine last April. I'm over 10k in. Don't be like me... But also welcome to the club! Let us know how it goes!
Lol, two of the racks are now sold out. Used this video to choose a lot of my stuff-- the rep adjustable bench, boneyard bar, fitness reality rack. REP has some bumpers that seem comparable in price to Titan, since I'm already shipping something from them figured I'd go for it. Definitely the most up to date info I could find on youtube, thanks dude!
Reps bumpers (the ones I've owned) are pretty nice. Unfortunately stuff is selling out still but it's getting better. Glad the video helped!
Hey dude, looking super cute on the floor. Very helpful video. Thanks!
That's the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me 😂 thanks!
Greatly appreciate. Thanks
😁 Thank you
Thank you
Great video!
Thanks! I appreciate it!
great video!
Thanks! These build ones take forever so I appreciate it
That rep 3100 bench is money. Very solid build quality.
This was really helpful, thanks!
Glad to hear it! We need to do an update on this one!
@@GlucksGym I'm pulling the trigger on about $1.5K for a home gym in the next week or so. If you have any thoughts I'd love to hear them!
Awesome intro!
Thank you! I think that was all Wynie
awesome! subscribed!
Thanks! This is an older one, I think the newest budget build is better but it's any building the cheapest gym possible.
Great Info, Love from India 🙌
Thanks! Hope it's helpful over there but I know shipping from some places is insane (or some companies won't even bother).
Great work! What about your warmup for the "shoulder-pain-free" bench? It could be very usefull for a lot of us!
This is an amazing video
Thank you! It took long enough to research and make so I'm happy you like it.
@@GlucksGym Of course man thank you this is super informative, helpful, to the point, and funny.
Best intro ever.
That's some stiff competition on this channel!
This video is too late, I'm already 3500$ in and still not done
Hahaha I hear you. I ran outta money long ago and I'm in a deeper hole! You'll never be done!
@Godly Sorcery Bro this comment is over 1 year old, I'm way over 10k$ by now
Hopefully I helped with all your spent money 😈
@@AntoLeNice that makes 2 of us
Great video, but one thing that's always overlooked in garage gyms is the slope in the floor itself. Most will need to build their own platform to compensate for the slope aka more costs.
Thank you! It's hard to hit all the points and I have a record of making these too long! I did have another person mention leveling their platform so apparently this happens more than I have it credit for!
I have a Titan T3 and am very happy with it. Buy the 36" depth if you have the space... I agonized over that detail and I'm so glad I bought deeper. So much easier to work in the rack. I also have the Rep FB4000 and am very happy with that as well. I'm always hear the raves for the FB-5000 but it seems like overkill and overbuying for 99 percent of us. Either way, great vid with a range of choices at the lower price points.
My rack is Titan as well, X-2 I think but it’s short enough for my 87” ceiling and the price and quality were right.
I added a lat pulldown to it, even though it’s not supposed to fit I made it fit. Hey, space is at a premium for me to I try to cram as much utility as possible into every square inch!
I got the 300lbs weight set with barbell(gave the bar to my sister). The weight plates are surprisingly right on point. Good job by fitness gear.
do you have the link?
@@zokk3948 you have to go to dicks sporting goods to get them. They only sell them in store
I used your link to buy some stuff from Rogue. I'll come back for a cage later. Thanks for the awesome vids!
Thanks. Though that link wasn't affiliated that was just me being nice lol. I just got their affiliate program going literally right now
Nice video just saved my research on a 17 min video
And it only took me tons of hours to research and make! Haha thanks. I'll do an updated version next year but it still holds pretty true (though prices have changed)
That intro voice drop got me 😂😂
That's just that means voice, definitely not me. The 5 lessons I learned in the gym intro takes the cake on voices (probably)
Love the video, Gluck! What adjustable bench did you have in the background?
That's a Rep AB-5000 when I'm sitting with the 2 benches. At this point I've got a few more.
One thing I want to point out most people don’t think of when it comes to benches. People will see the “bench capacity” and equate it to how much they can lift, forgetting about their own body weight. Let’s say you weigh 200lbs. If the bench has a capacity of 300lbs, you can only lift 100lbs before it’s “over capacity”. A 250lb man would only be able to do 50lbs “safely”. I’ve watched too many people on UA-cam/FB videos have their bench fail during a lift because they exceeded the limit. I’m sure some people would be fine. Just something to keep in mind.
I think sand bags of different sizes (long bags with handles, strong man bags) could/should be included in the list. You can do a lot with them. Sand is also cheap I recently picked up approx 200lbs worth of sand for around 16 dollars + tax.
Keep up the good content
@jokermann77 ... Good points on the cumulative weight capacity that can be overlooked, but can you link some of those failures where the bench themselves failed? I couldn’t find any but I do see many failed bench presses where the lifter would have been better off having safety pins or a spotter.
@@strawberryyogurt0 I never found them by looking specifically for them. They always showed up in compilation videos on YT/FB. I’ll try and see if I can find a couple. One I remember specifically was a guy bought one off Amazon and was only doing like 120lbs or something relatively light and it crumpled underneath him. I immediately showed my wife and said “See this is why I didn’t want to cheap out on a bench”. I’ll see what I can find.
That's another reason I buy the best I can get. Better to not pay twice.
I did debate sand bags but I had to start cutting things out. This video was actually a decent amount longer than this originally. I was going to mention that point when I talked about the Amazon bench (375lbs is it?) but I guess I missed it. Thanks for mentioning it.
@@GlucksGym no worries, just want people to be safe!
Its you and coop for me!
That's some elite company
Instant like to intro
Great content. Keep it up!
Thanks! We're slowly getting better at this haha
Best start to a video hahahaha
They're all some level of crazy, enjoy all those intros.
I can't agree enough about picking the right rack being so important. I have a Marcy Smith machine that I bought from Sam's Club. Before that, I had a Weider rack from Sam's Club. The Weider had pin safeties. The smith machine has nothing. When I use anything more than 160lbs on the external j-cups, they stick and mess up the lift off. Never even heard of Titan, Rep, or Rogue when I bought them
and now you've joined the Gluck army, the quickest way to bankruptcy 😂
I like how he gave a range for each item.
😊 thank you!
Subscribed and Liked.
Thank you!
@@GlucksGym
Keep it up.
I watched this while I was ordering a $600 adjustable bench.
Hey, I can cut corners on the rest of the equipment, right? Right?
Don’t forget to mention buying used equipment. I started my gym with a used ironmaster pro bench set and barbell for about $400 . People buy things and change their minds pretty often .
Nice video! I’d love to see a video on preacher curl benches and or rack attachments.
Hahah you're going to have to do a lot of cutting. I have the preacher pad and will review but I'd love to do another video on curls 😍
PRx's change plates were a good price. Also, prior to the holidays Fringesport had good pricing for bumpers but Rogue Mil-Spec echos look more favorable. By the way, for bands and various other items Aliexpress is a great source.
I've used Ali before because you can't beat the price but sometimes those shipping times... It's definitely more straight from the source but I tend to enjoy Amazon since returns and stuff is easier/quicker. Fringe bumpers are nice but somehow I've left them out of a few videos where they definitely could've been.
@@GlucksGym Totally agreed on Ali. Went Fringe in part due to cost, availability prior to the holidays with COVID and solid reviews from Coop / Brandon. Now, probably would go the Rogue direction.
Listen your a smart and practical man and I respect that. I have a very small home gym but super effective and I think everyone can benefit from this insight. All I have is 3 Dumbbell sets 12lb, 20 and 30, and two fixed barbells from Titan 80 and 100lb. If the average guy just keeps these weights handy and uses them often coupled with some walking or jogging he can have a great physique.
I would also recommend looking for companies in your area. Sometimes they'll provide a discount if you buy in bulk and they may offer pick up which will save you on shipping. I found Perform Better in Rhode Island (I live in MA) and saved so much going this route with them.
If you're lucky enough that's a great way to do it!
Interestingly enough I Just found your video through recommended. I was looking on Amazon and it seems as though I'd have to spend almost $1000 just to have a barbell and plates. Really appreciate the effort put in for the video very helpful just subscribed.
The prices are rocketing but I've done a few videos and you can still get a lot for the 1k. Already check used, people are dumping things and prices are going down
There is an alternate approach here. In fact make that two alternatives. The first is to scour the second hand market. This process takes longer than buying new but would make the budget go further. The other alternative I would like to see you explore is to exclude the rack entirely. There! I’ve said it! That leaves room for a set of loadable dumbbells, a sandbag or two plus a landmine piece (to be anchored by the weight plates) PLUS, wait for it…a Viking press 😊 Both the landmine and the sandbags give a heap of options to compensate for not being able to do barbell squats whilst the loadable dumbbells cover bench presses along with lots of other exercises.
This video is so helpful. You by chance working on a video with a 2k budget?
I am! Though it's $2500. Funny you asked I was literally just planning that one out.
@@GlucksGym hell yeah looking forward to it
Got myself a set of LuXiaoJun bumpers to supplement my Fitness Reality plates. Went with the 10/25/45 set (160lbs) for a total of $309 shipped. Very happy with the quality, especially at less than $2/lb
Pretty good price there, were those the E1s?
@@GlucksGym yeah, E1 plates. Kind of regret not getting a bigger set because the $/lb for a pair of 45s is $2.7 after shipping for me in AZ
How does this guy only have 6k subscribers?! Came across these videos and just assumed he was a big youtuber because of the quality of video. Great advise and really entertaining 👍 subscribed straight away 🤘
😢 Just go tell 94k of your closest friends and we'll be set!
I agree. He deserves way more subscribers and these are very in depth and good reviews.
Thank you! That first comment was 6k? Now 3 months later we're well into 11k! We're getting somewhere
Pretty damn fortunate to find a like new power rack and barbell from an Amish resale store, total of $125
An Amish resale store?!
The flybird adjustable bench is pretty good for $160 on amazon with a $25 coupon code making it only $135, it’s adjustable and has a weight capacity of 700lbs
70?!
@@xDisasterShotzx 700* my bad
Wasn't going to subscribe until the floor and mirror section, I laughed harder than I should have
You really made me work for that one 🤣
Remember the fitness gear plates are about 3/4 of an inch less in diameter than standard 45 pound platess. I have a set but I like to slide on the bar to jump from 315 up to 405 without wrestling the bar
If I ever DL for 95 then I’ll just swap in another set of 45s
I think you could really save on kettle bell by using the handle that hooks to a dumbbell. If you get the loadable Olympic, you can use same weights and collars. Then you have a bunch of kettlebell weights with smaller footprint. I like your suggestions for equipment. Great video!
We have that Kettle Gyrp and it's in a video or two, probably items under $50 vid or something. It's pretty good
@@GlucksGym cool. I must have missed that. You have a ton of great advice. I'm working on owning my first home by the end of the year and I'm probably going to make a small barn gym...
That sounds awesome! Would love to see it
@@GlucksGym i think I could weld a good cage for cheap. It might be on video too
@@GlucksGym here's a video idea. Making a gym more child friendly. You know kids want to get in the gym like the grown ups, but could hurt themselves. Are there products that keep kids safer?
11:55 I actually have a friend who didn't know what collars did. I had been to the gym with him for a year but i've always been the one loading and unloading the weights.
😂 That's pretty good right there. Though I had to check your timestamp to remember what I said.
explored a Boneyard for a second bar but given shipping, tax, etc. decided to get a LUXIAOJUN barbell @ $218 all in after good reviews by Brandon Campbell. Solid so far
I've heard a lot about that bar and my buddy has one but I haven't gotten over there to workout in a few months. I'll have to check it out. Brandon comments on this channel quite a bit and I like his stuff so if he's recommending it I'd listen.
@@GlucksGym Agreed, without Brandon's review probably wouldn't have bought in favor of a boneyard. Since this is a second bar (to a Cerakote Ohio), could have afforded to take a little more risk. $218 all in is hard to beat
And obviously, check your local Craigslist or Facebook marketplace everyday for used equipment.
Exactly!
I purchased several things from titan at the start of Covid. I’m happy with their power bar, and it’s half of rogue. Their adjustable bench is pretty good and $75 less than the rep. I do prefer the Rep standard plates though.
Nice vid!
Thanks! As long as they're working for you that's what matters. I've got some good Titan stuff and unfortunately have missed on a few
Same here, Rogue is overpriced but that doesn’t make it better than Titan.
Sometimes cap has a problem with rusting But if you can get a good one and take care of it. The tensile strength is 1000 lbs.
Hello, I was already looking at those mirrors from Home Depot today. How’s the quality of the mirror? I’m opening up a fitness studio soon and I don’t know if I should get the real “gym mirrors” as they might be thicker or be more tempered, but I’d like to get the homes from Home Depot to save some money. What do you think?
Can you use Rouge Accessories, like spotter arms on Rep equipment , Racks and squat stands or vice versa ?
I've found single hole attachments tend to work pretty well but multi hole ones don't always. Their spacing can be slightly different. My titan attachments work well with my rogue but I've heard it doesn't always work the other way around. I'd search for the exact setup first and see if anyone on reddit or somewhere has done the exact swap you're debating.
I have a jump rope for 1€ and its really good
Titan does financing I believe as well. What other companies that are good that have that option?
Pls keep this quality of video Gluck-9
This is an older one, I think the quality is better now 😊
I bought the hulkfit rack it’s decent
Decent is probably the best we can hope for in this range. I spent a lot of time looking at that one
I really got clickbaited thinking this was a garadge gym reviews video
Its never a waste to invest in your body.
100% dead on
Do you recommend getting the full power rack over a half rack? Or would a half rack be okay
I prefer a full rack but some people get by with and like half racks. Kind of depends on your space, style, and attachment ambitions
Never heard of someone complaining about the knurling being too aggressive lol
I figured out your mistake. When you photoshopped in the jump rope you forgot about the reflection in the mirror. Nearly got me! Other than that it was was very realistic.
Haha yes I did a great job with that one
2:25 hey thats my barbell!
The beast?
@@GlucksGym yeah its alright ive had it for a few months and havnt had an issue, the knurling is def a bit messy on mine though
For a two car garage where we want to park one car. How big of a flooring area should be for a Rogue RML-690C, land mine, Adjustable dumbbells (Iron Master)? 12x12? I would prefer even multiples for 8x4 plywood and 4x6 stall mat. I think 8x12 may be good actually - three plywood boards per layer and four stall mats. Shelving for miscellaneous can just be on concrete.
Also, what is a cheap barbell you would use for landmines?
Depends what's cheap to you but the beast by cap would be a good candidate. I link and talk about it in the under $1k video. My area (similar size rack) is 10'x 12'. The extra 2' is the space to the side of the rack so I can get the weights on and off easily. The landmine will force you to use a little more length depending how you mount it and use it and your platform. Mine floor is entirely horse mat throughout the gym but you can buy more of those whenever.
@@GlucksGym Thanks. I will check out the beast. The area on either side of the rack will be more than 12’ even if there is no lifting platform there. It is actually a three car garage, so I have as much room as needed actually. I guess I can expand the floor if I find it needed. Would love to have a dedicated shed, but that is more money I don’t need to spend.
@@markhalstead2386 I pushed mine to the corner of my 3 car garage so I had to worry about the side space. I also made my platform 5' of free space in the back so I don't feel so cramped. I just checked it's actually 12'4" from the wall to the end of the platform. My weights push the rack back a little hence the odd measurement.
@@GlucksGym Good idea. The deep dish 45s will extend past the back of the rack. I was putting mine away from the wall so I can get to the shelving along the walls. I will have plenty of space. Will probably bolt it to the plywood.
@@markhalstead2386 that's such a big sturdy rack the plywood should be fine. My area is kind of restricted to 10' so I had to get creative. That's a sick rack!
I really want a rep bench but they dont ship to europe. Does anyone have any other options for an adjustable bench for under 350$?
Did you sand the ply wood then paint it with something how is it so smooth and shiny lol?
The platform? It's 3 layers of oil based poly.
Try a Vulcan 3 by 3 Flat bench Has a weight capacity of 2000lbs $140.
I was like : What the Gluck am I watching? Oh wait it’s another home gym vid
Oh no not this again!
I’ve had nothing but problems dealing with titan fitness. I would rather pay more and not have to dealing with the headache that is Titans customer service. I have literally never ordered a product and had it show up even close to on time. Half the time I just cancelled my order because they just keep giving me the run around.
They can be hit or miss with certain products (as seen on some of my other videos). I've gotten much more good than bad but there are some things I avoid from them.
