1.3 million on his in-home gym - really?

Cool gym.

Coach has a really cool gym too!

Unfortunately I sold it, but it was good while it lasted!

A few years ago I set this GYM up, the equipment cost me about $25000 second hand.

I like it. goes to show you don't need all the bells and whistles (I mean that in a good way) to have a good gym.

haha,   when my members demand that i get these new high tec pieces of equipment i say  ' i don't remember Arnold using that, and he was better built than all of us are gonna be'

people want shortcuts and something else to do the work for them. that equipment doesnt exist.

I agree with you in spirit but the logic of your argument is skewed.
None of us have Arnold's genetics or iron will drive to train.
That is why Arnold was Arnold regardless of equipment.
But I also agree that no amount of high tech gimmick machines can replace training intensity in the gym.
Thinking a trainer with big bouncey ball and clip board is going to transform your body is the real delusion.

Whether people want to believe it or not, there are smaller gyms similar to mine popping up everywhere. It's turning out to be a better business model than the traditional commercial gyms.

99% of gyms needs less machines and more dumbbells and benches.

Go into any gym during peak time and there will still be some machines collecting dust (think Vince's bicep machine) but everyone will be fighting over the 30-60lbs dumbbells.

used gym equipment in Calgary is selling for about ten cents on the dollar right now.  i just bought alot of new stuff last year, but i coulda got some smoking deals now if i hadn't. 

it really depends on  how many gyms in your area are shutting down. lately it seems like a lot are. and the equipment takes a ton of room to store and is a pain to move, so it's being blown out.

Since we didn't resort to using investors, business loans or credit cards I have learned to be more resourceful with our funds, re-investing about 10% back in for equipment. I needed another squat rack and was going to go through Elitefts or Ray Crowthers but if we ordered, we would be looking at almost $4k for the rack, tax and delivery. One my neighbors has the welding and fabrication shop a few doors down from my gym. He's building almost the same rack with band attachments, monkey bar and storage for $1500.00. After he finishes this, he building a replica. Since we don't have machines (except a pulldown and seated row) equipping the gym is easy with equipment more effective than machines. But then again, I never had the intention of this being a bodybuilding-type gym.
