;D rogue just put out a great lever arms unit. get that and a lat machine and you are on your way to a good home gym.
-
Used to have a pretty complete home gym- and then I moved. What a pain so I sold it all. Currently pay $28 a month at a Gold’s Gym. Would never buy another weight ever again!

It is not easy to be motivated at home.

I lift at home and a commercial gym. For decades I only lifted at home. If you are really motivated and serious about lifting then lifting at home isn't a problem. The music is always what I like. I never wait for a machine. It's almost zen like in the solitude.

I think its more easier to stay motivated. You could get a few sets in, take a break, workout later on, go back and forth with ease. I would find that much more simpler and motivating, instead of driving to the gym.

I think the machine below, which is a low and high pulley system, would really round out a good home gym. You can do lots of exercises for pretty much every body part.

I just ask Ronnie if I can work out at his home gym since he’s having spine surgeries often and not using it
-
Working out with those lever arms might be ok for a few workouts, but it would get boring very fast.

This is what I do while taking care of my kids. I’ll do a set then play with the kids for a few minutes, set, repeat. The kids love to come in the garage and watch me work out. So I started teaching them body weight squats. At their age (5 and 3)they think it’s fun, and it’s imprinting on them to live live an active lifestyle. Getting a garage gym was a very worthwhile investment.

Always been a home gym trainer, while also going to a good local gym.
Motivation and equipment never an issue.

That’s impressive! You need some more square footage in there, it’s busting at the seams. I’m jealous of all that equipment. I also go to a local gym 1-2 days a week. It breaks up the monotony.

I just recently set up a home gym. Cost right around $1,100 for a power rack, flat bench press, 45 degree hyper extension, decline sit up, Olympic bar and 515lbs worth of Olympic weights. Along with a make shift platform for the rack to rest on. Have to say, it feels great not having to wait on people anymore.

Did you buy most of your equipment used? That’s a really low cost for that setup.

The only things used were the Olympic plates which are in good shape. I picked them up from a local gym owner for around 50 cents per pound. Everything else was new off Amazon.

One of these days Crossfit Mania will end and the market will be flooded with bumper plates.
