My best tip is to make sure that you will actually use what you are buying. Nothing is more expensive than having to sell it years later after using it only once.
my only tip that you didn't mention would be a white erase board for workout planning/weight increases and an old ipad with the gymboss app for circuit training and rest timing.
@@tenney15 yeah it's called After The Home Gym Essentials 😊 I made it awhile ago. I think there's a few more on the series that expand some as well but I should probably expand some there too. Thanks
Great video Gluck! I spent ~$13k on all new equipment then helped a buddy score on FB (Rogue Monster Lite w/ attachments, Ohio bar, AB-2 and HG bumpers) for $1300. I was both jealous and proud! Secondhand is the play if you are patient enough. One other comment, TITAN has jacked up their prices so much on certain pieces that their sale prices still suck! So buyers beware.
Titan has definitely jumped in price over the years especially vs the insane prices (they seem it now anyway) of the past. Patience definitely pays off but it can be tough.
Loving the raised camera angle. Who knows what those hands are doing? Doesn't matter, im getting solid info, good jokes, and another video of gear I can't afford without the distraction. Killed it bro.
If you have limited space I’d say you need adjustable dumbbells and an adjustable bench as bare bones minimum. And like the video says, check for sales and deals every single day. Something will pop up eventually.
I’m keeping my gym membership but want to add a basic home gym so I can take 2 of my 5 days and train at home. Helps a lot when you balance work and school full time with a family
Man I grabbed that Titan economy bar when I sold off some of my equipment from the pervious version of my home gym. I needed something to hold me over while building the current version. Grabbed it on one of their sales for like 70ish-75 bucks and it's still better than pretty much any sub $200 bar I've ever used. Actually kept it and still have it now even though it's basically never used. If I had a 500+lb squat I probably wouldn't want to use that bar to test it's breaking point, but like you said it truly has no reason to be that good at that price. I like the thicker grip too, think it's 30 or 31mm.
It's a 30 mm. Had one for awhile now. If you take bar apart and oil up well ( There will be rust inside) it's as good a bar as any I've used. I would absolutely trust it with 500 lbs.
Great advice, great video! REP Fitness just screwed me by unveiling their Goldilocks AB-4100 bench. My advice: stay out of the rack business; it's a money pit. Buy everything else first!
Good video! Yes, you have an extensive video library of items that add value to a home gym. You didn't mention the gymnastic rings in this video. Do you still use them? Also, I agree about the stall mats on the floor. I only had 2 mats from FB's Functional Fitness Garage Sale. I cut them to make a "+" sign on the floor with the center completely filling the floor space inside my rack and the two smaller bits on the outside of the rack. That way I can deadlift in the rack (room is small). They work well as a "platform" but I'd like to buy more to fill the rest of the floor space. I just have commercial carpet tiles on the concrete floor. Mats won't make it squishy, but it'd make it a little easier on the bones.
Thanks! I actually use them all the time but didn't want to repeat a lot that was already in a few others videos. Those things are great and still underrepresented!
Tough to build a home gym for a reasonable cost today. Before the pandemic you could find good used equipment cheap on craigslist. Now even the secondhand stuff costs an arm and a leg. Used plates now cost $1 or even $2 per pound now when they used to sell for 50 cents or less. Ouch!

I've bought and sold workout equipment over the years. Eventually collecting or purchasing exactly what I wanted. ( I've done the same with motorcycles) l have also met some cool people and friends that way.
You should try to be more sarcastic. Lol. Love the vid. You scared me away from Craigslist for good. That gym equipment you showed was frightening. What was that some kind of hamstring curl? 🤣
Bands to hold place for cable movements. I only say hold cause I plan to get one hopefully soon. I've only had my gym for 4 months and there's stuff I've gotten since then; deadlift bar, curl bar, jump rope, more stall mats. My next purchase is a cable tower by titan. There's also a leg curl and leg extension by elite fts that attaches to your rack I'd like as well lol.
Spider live everywhere in a garage gym except under the mats. We have good air flow and I run the dehumidifier when it's humid so no issues with mold here though in an older video I pick one up (long before my current setup) to show what it can look like under there.
If you’re buying used make sure you compare the used price to what they would be new. Don’t just trust to find good deals used. For example last week I saw a boneyard deadlift bar for 350. He had the audacity to say they go 390 new. Which is a big lie. Boneyards go for 225 from rogue. 195 if they’re bare steel.
Got a bit of a technical question. Do you know how the affiliate links work? I feel bad that I didn't know about your affiliate link before I got my PR-4000, but I want to use it for my upcoming AB-4100 (in purple cause it burns my eyes and no pain, no gain, right?) but I noticed that I get your affiliate code on the home page URL, but once I click on anything moving away from that, the extra code goes away. I want to make sure that any purchases I make moving forward are using your affiliate links as I'm grateful for your insight, and I don't want to mess it up. As far as you know, does it re-apply your affiliate code at checkout?
It's supposed to work on whatever you purchase during that session after the intial click. So you can click directly or just use the general link to their site and find for what you want from there. Don't worry about it I get people reading out to me all the time saying they forgot and apologizing and even some trying to email and call the company to fix it (for the record I don't think that last one works but the thought is very nice)
@@GlucksGym Well, I've got your link hub bookmarked and I'll start through there and hope it goes through! Just waiting on that leg roller attachment to come back in stock in a few weeks! Thanks for all your help!
People never mention liquidators and auctions, ive gotten like NEW commercial equipment for so so cheap. Anything like urethane dumbbells, cal plates and commercial bars.
Wait?!?! I've watched a years worth of videos touting all the best equipment and now you tell me I can do this cheaply and don't need a gold plated viking press??? Great content as always 😀 Random question on the gorilla tape for the mats - is that regular gorilla tape or the water proof gutter tape they have? It's more expensive but thinking it may be better at keeping sweat and water on top for cleaning.
It's regular 1.88" wide Gorilla tape. I also debated the water proof stuff and don't regret it BUT after the reno when we washed the floors we had to redo some of it.
My old platform was plywood. It's in a ton of my videos just go back before the gym remodel to see it. Technically I don't have a video specially on it
No you didn't I mention spotters are times and probably in my After the Essentials video but I don't specifically talk about budget options. There's a few companies you could go with but it really depends on your rack.
Hey do you have any advice for neck training at home? I wanted to buy a neck flex pro but they're 100+ dollars. But nothing else has all the adjustments and attachment points and stuff.
I prefer them for other reasons vs just the plates hitting the ground. When I need to kneel, lie down, or really anything where I touch the ground they're not as cold and rough. They can smooth out the surface depending what your floor is. I still prefer them because it's another layer of shock absorption that isn't traveling through that expensive equipment (and to you). They're not required but they're definitely needed but mats provide better grip, honestly the list goes on
Literally just got a 3rd barbell (unboxing video coming soon!) and had to explain to her that it was sent by accident but we better keep so we don't have to pay $50 return shipping. 😆
When you figure out the things to buy for the wife in the home gym that actually make her forget about how much I spent... please fill me in cause I'm in deep...
If I ever figure it out then by that point I'll probably have already gotten myself so far down in the hole that I'll never realize I solved the problem

This comment isn’t so much for the channel producer as if it is for other viewers. I have another take on flooring. It’s a huge part of the aesthetics of your gym. I dislike the stall mats with duct tape on every seam. I purchased 848 square feet of 1/2” rubber tiles for $2816. I like the looks and performance of them. Stall mats or tiles depends upon budget or preference, but I personally think people downplay the look of their flooring, when it’s a major component of the look. It’s at least as important as the walls, etc.
Hey Gluck. I just wanted to thank you and Wynie for these videos. They have been really helpful and fun to watch. I recently got my PR-1100 and a boneyard Bella bar. It’s just me and occasionally my mom and sister will use it. Please keep doing what you guys are doing. I hope you guys will do a video of the new REP SSB and open trap bar once they are released. Again thank you and love watching your videos.
We plan to do the SSB, and open trap so no worries there! Thank you so much for the kind words. It seriously means a lot as. I sit her filming late at night while my son is sleeping. Thanks for the support and good luck with your build!
I’m glad you snuck in the new AB-4100. While not a budget option like flybird or any other Amazon bench, it’s less expensive and 1/3 lighter than the AB-5200.
Home Gym total Cost: 500. I bought a cap half rack. Got a good deal on it from Walmart for 20 bucks. I already had a set of standard weights, and spent 150 bucks for 6 25lb cast iron plates on OfferUp, and 4 more from Walmart for total cost of a 100. The last 230 came from some dip extensions, resistance bands, standard Olympic size barbell, which I got free, because the mailman damaged and misplaced it 3 times. J hooks, spotters, eyebolts, cable and pulley, a long with a Pro Gear 1300 adjustable bench, aerobic platforms and a mini stepper. The one thing I wish I paid close attention too was the rack. 20 buck is a great deal for something I saw going for 100-120 on Amazon. However, the holes in the rack are 1inch which made finding attachments hard and some even expensive. I bought the eyebolt 3/4 steel to add resistance band hooks to my rack. It turned out to be a great investment.
We are moving into a new house next week and I will have what could have been built as a basement bedroom as a spare room with a bare concrete floor. So compactness and efficiency is the main priority with only about a 12X12 space to work with. I'm going to start with a half inch rubber floor and a Titan X3 flat foot and go from there.
@@GlucksGym 0:53 2:41 One's imagination can run wild so I pretend not to notice. FYI Sprung for Rep PR-4k with your A. Link (wish there was confirmation) considering Ares and likely AB-4100. Enjoy your commentary.
Hi iam possibly thinking about getting a Olympic weight set iam using a 7 ft standard barbell bar rated for 400 pounds don't really need it but I would like to have one iam into stringth training
My approach is to go with a more budget-friendly option, but I also only plan on making additions, not upgrades. There is something to be said for just getting a foot in the door, but I subscribe more to the buy once, cry once mentality. So that means that my "budget" home gym is gonna cost me about $4k for rack, bench, bars, weights, and flooring. But don't you worry, I'll be using your affiliate links for my purchases.
Haha appreciate that and I'm the same way but for some testing the waters or just not wanting things that are as extreme as my own build is their path. Whatever works for you I just hope people are happy with their gyms!
I’m not joking the $79.00 fitness gear bar is probably better than that econo Titan bar. T I got two of them both came with egg shaped edge 😫 . Great video 👍🏼
I personally hate that fitness gear bar. I joked about the Titan specs but the only spec on that thing is the weight limit which in my experience is pretty accurate, we bent ours easily.
SearchTempest has been a Godsend for piecing together my vintage weight set. FB Marketplace sucks - the distance and "sort by recent" filters never worked for me. I've had different height stall mats! Even with the same texture from the same store (but different pallet). I wouldn't say Gorilla Tape looks better, I see it as a necessary evil.
I think gorilla tape looks better than your mats slowly moving apart and junk getting between the seams 😂 you're right with marketplace and certain things. The only York Deep dish I've seen lately are 1k a plate and not in good shape.

Loved the intro! Great information as always. Super sweet 4K! It gets better with every video.
Trying to improve every time!
"Crossfitters need a bar with good spin, bumpers, and good health insurance" true actually. Doing Olympic lifts for sets is just so dangerous.
I was wondering if I'd offend anyone with that series of lines 😂
Loving the raised camera angle. Who knows what those hands are doing? Doesn't matter, im getting solid info, good jokes, and another video of gear I can't afford without the distraction. Killed it bro.
Lol well you did say the hands needed work right? It's a slow process but we've only got 75 or so videos so I've got a long way to go
If you have limited space I’d say you need adjustable dumbbells and an adjustable bench as bare bones minimum.
And like the video says, check for sales and deals every single day. Something will pop up eventually.
Adjustable dumbbells is a good one. You'd think a guy with multiple videos on them would've mentioned them 😂

Love to provide some algo-boost! As always, great vid!
😢😁 Those are happy tears btw. Thank you!
Any day now Titan is sending Gluck a home gym "noose" to try out !!
I do mix in some of their better stuff at times! I mean the bar! The bar!
That dude with the cute outfit is hot AF, I'd buy his foot pics
I've gotten a few foot pics from him, very expensive but worth it.
Home Gym total Cost: 500. I bought a cap half rack. Got a good deal on it from Walmart for 20 bucks. I already had a set of standard weights, and spent 150 bucks for 6 25lb cast iron plates on OfferUp, and 4 more from Walmart for total cost of a 100. The last 230 came from some dip extensions, resistance bands, standard Olympic size barbell, which I got free, because the mailman damaged and misplaced it 3 times. J hooks, spotters, eyebolts, cable and pulley, a long with a Pro Gear 1300 adjustable bench, aerobic platforms and a mini stepper.
The one thing I wish I paid close attention too was the rack. 20 buck is a great deal for something I saw going for 100-120 on Amazon. However, the holes in the rack are 1inch which made finding attachments hard and some even expensive. I bought the eyebolt 3/4 steel to add resistance band hooks to my rack. It turned out to be a great investment.
A $20 rack (cap or not) is an insane price! Hey as long as it all works for you that's what matters right?
We are moving into a new house next week and I will have what could have been built as a basement bedroom as a spare room with a bare concrete floor. So compactness and efficiency is the main priority with only about a 12X12 space to work with. I'm going to start with a half inch rubber floor and a Titan X3 flat foot and go from there.
That's good amount of space to work with. Should be fun to build.
John Wayne the goat
Start with that bells of steel power bar
Great bar for the price!
The John gacy meme reference is hilarious. Good video man 😂
Thank you! Wynie wanted that one in there 😂
"And some good health insurance" 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I mean... Please don't cancel me
I drank the Kool-aid. Now I’m out $7,000. I am also now out of the house because explaining why a home gym is necessary was unsuccessful 🙃
Hahaha yes! I'm celebrating the gym not the being booted out part but at least you've got a nice place to stay 😂
@Gluck's Gym Yes haha 😂 that REP Fitness AB-5200 is pretty comfy and I can adjust it any way I want for sleeping 😆
Yooo! Can I get a link to that ball!
Now I'm trying to remember if I made a joke about a ball or actually showed something... I have no clue
Amazon: Parallel Halo Power Wrist Ball $15.99
@@alrocky Ohhh haha see, I forget my own jokes
@@GlucksGym 0:53 2:41 One's imagination can run wild so I pretend not to notice.
FYI Sprung for Rep PR-4k with your A. Link (wish there was confirmation) considering Ares and likely AB-4100. Enjoy your commentary.
@@alrocky thanks! I'll make sure to buy more things with that money 😂 great rack and happy to hear you're enjoying the content
"So It's Come to This: A Gluck's Gym Clip Show"
You can't take have made it without one. And it's supposed to be the into to the series haha
I am so far behind in the race, I think I am winning
Hahaha that's good
Hi iam possibly thinking about getting a Olympic weight set iam using a 7 ft standard barbell bar rated for 400 pounds don't really need it but I would like to have one iam into stringth training
Check out the playlist or videos linked in this video ad they have a ton of suggestions
Ok thanks I will
My approach is to go with a more budget-friendly option, but I also only plan on making additions, not upgrades. There is something to be said for just getting a foot in the door, but I subscribe more to the buy once, cry once mentality. So that means that my "budget" home gym is gonna cost me about $4k for rack, bench, bars, weights, and flooring. But don't you worry, I'll be using your affiliate links for my purchases.
Haha appreciate that and I'm the same way but for some testing the waters or just not wanting things that are as extreme as my own build is their path. Whatever works for you I just hope people are happy with their gyms!
We're doing drones now!🤯🚀
Gotta step it up haha
I’m not joking the $79.00 fitness gear bar is probably better than that econo Titan bar. T I got two of them both came with egg shaped edge 😫 . Great video 👍🏼
I personally hate that fitness gear bar. I joked about the Titan specs but the only spec on that thing is the weight limit which in my experience is pretty accurate, we bent ours easily.
So you're hatin' on 35's now!
Now? Always 😂
People judge 35s but give 2.5 etc "change plates" a pass. 🙄 35s save space 25+ 10=35 look ma I'm a scholar 🤷🏿♂️
Damn the math does add up...
SearchTempest has been a Godsend for piecing together my vintage weight set. FB Marketplace sucks - the distance and "sort by recent" filters never worked for me.
I've had different height stall mats! Even with the same texture from the same store (but different pallet).
I wouldn't say Gorilla Tape looks better, I see it as a necessary evil.
I think gorilla tape looks better than your mats slowly moving apart and junk getting between the seams 😂 you're right with marketplace and certain things. The only York Deep dish I've seen lately are 1k a plate and not in good shape.
