I just have a power cage, adjustable bench, chin up/dip rack, 300 pounds of plates, 45 pound barbell and dumbbells from 10 to 80 pounds. Also have a ton of slam balls, bands, ropes, chains, a few kettle bells and a full kickboxing setup in the garage for cardio.

I acquired everything used over the last 10 years or so, maybe have $2k in it.

Only use it when i don't want to go to the gym. Was great during Covid, but i don't have too many options.

"fits in the limited space"
hmmm, that is overpriced garbage.
2300 dollars is enough money for a decent homegym.

I got this for 750$ (new, MAXXUS Bodymax 6000)

+
alot of used plates for 150$
Cardio? Go outside all the cardio you need.
+
no music, no tv?

GARBAGE

Did you get all this  prior to covid lockdowns?

Yes ;)
To be fair, it is not the right time to buy gym equipment.
Everything is ridiculous overpriced.

you have to wait 1-2 Years to see good prices again..
But everything is better than a total-gym.

You will find instructions online to build your own gym out of wood..



I bought my stuff 13 years ago..but 2300$ is more than enough for a fully equipped home-gym.



Africa has better gyms than Goodrum.

I dont think that big $2300.00 cage w/ a weight set would be good in a place like Vince's.
Those places are very sturdy, they are up on blocks or lifts of some sort.
Thin floors, etc.

What more do you need, other than possibly more plates?

Good layout Straw. How do you like the silencer pads?

I like your overhead storeage the best out of everything.

that's funny
I kind of wish I didn't have the those shelves sometimes because I could have a better rack/cage set up
I threw this together on the fly starting from the day after they closed the gyms in the bay area
we had a two week head start before that started happening elsewhere

those drop pads are obviously good for protecting my dumbbells and my garage floor but I also use them for other things
you can see the chest supported row set up where I use it to prop up the bench
I also use them with the pull up bar and dip set up
I use put them on either side and use them as a step off

I can get some great workouts in, but these days i like to change things up and find more value in machines and cable exercises.
