Garage Gym 27/06/08


The Beginning

Okay, a couple of weeks ago I decided that with
the crappy winter weather rolling in and it becoming increasingly unpleasant to train outside that it was time to set up an indoor training studio inside the house. Im referring to it as a garage gym, even tho it is clearly not in the garage, but I am doing it in the style of a garage gym using select pieces of functional training equipment and making do and improvising whereever necessary.
The idea is to document the process here and hopefully it is of use to anyone looking to put together a similar setup, ill be putting up what everything is costing me, what works, what doesnt, what suppliers Ive used etc etc. Im doing a lot of research on the best prices/quality of equipment as this gym is being set up on a bit of a budget so hopefully the research i do can save other people a bit of time hunting around.
So the first stage is the room Im starting with, its the spare room in my house roughly 3mx4m with roughly 3m ceilings and currently filled with quite a bit of crap. Ive taken a few shots for the "before" phase and should have them online in the next couple of days. First purchase is going to 30mm high density foam flooring to cover the floor boards.
