Just had a newborn and working out in my garage gym is so convenient. No drive time, no waiting on machines. Warm up and straight into my workout. I bring the baby in garage as well. I can keep an eye on her while she sleeps and I get my workout in!
Good idea. Plus as they grow up and watch you exercise, it establishes the normalcy of taking care of yourself through exercise. Hopefully they grow up believing exercise is a normal part of life instead of something you have to do, but don't want to.
Yep! My kids are in the garage with me every morning. I love when they come out and see their Daddy working hard. I want it to be so normal for them that they just assume everyone does it. - Coop
@@GarageGymReviews My parents never did this, but mom and dad recognized this and tried to raise me different than they were. When I was 8 years old, they enrolled me in martial arts. And, for 13 years, that was my thing...so exercise, hard work, sweat was normalized. It was normal to train 4 or 5 days a week for 2 to 3 hours a night. And, all that time, mom and dad were smiling because their kid was establishing good habits for life. Now I'm in my 40s and can't stand a day when I'm not doing something...even if it's as simple as going for a one hour casual walk...it's just normal. So, good on you and the other folks for these comments! Establish good habits for life.
Congrats! I did the exact same thing last year when my son was born. Great decision. What’s not a great decision is having found Coop/GGR and asking myself if I really need to eat this week because I want everything he shows.

This describes the State of mind of today's home gym builder. I am guilty of buying all the latest and greatest home gym equipment. I later realized that I am not really consistent with my workouts, and even using all the expensive equipment.
Having a home gym helped me work out much more often! I used to realistically go once or twice a month before, now I regularly train multiple times a week (and hopefully stay that way)
I’m not sure where my 8X8 space in the basement falls. I have the Dick’s 300 LB weight set. Dumbells by all different companies. Some Amazon stuff, Titan equipment, and a Rep bench. I started putting it together in 2020, and it helped get me in shape while the world was losing it.
Fans! Floor fans, standing fans, wall mounted fans, window units, mini splits, lol. Myself, I just started building my own garage gym. Almost done, mostly with mid type stuff (Rit-Fit , ER-Kang, Cap, blah blah blah) but it will do just fine for me while the price remained reasonable. As far as the fans go, I'm lucky enough to have a window in my garage so there is a unit inside that which does well. Eventually, I'll upgrade to a mini split...and one day those sweet REP x PÉPIN'S!
You cut me deep on only having a basement gym 😂 you forgot a tier. DIY Home gym builder! ⚒️💪 Great video and entertaining! Looking for the volcano knurled toilet paper as we speak.
You forgot highest echelon. That’s the guy who has gone through all this and ends up with a rack, one barbell, tonnes of plates, good dumbbell set, and sandbags. And, he can out lift everyone.
Nice job breaking the ice from the traditional reviews, Coop, no pun intended 😂 Been following you since I learned what Rogue R3 is, wish I had watched more of your content before making some purchases which would have prevented some newbie purchase mistakes and put me straight into advanced. Keep it rolling! Looking forward to more reviews of newcomers such as Bolt Fitness (Venom bench hint hint) and ATX.
Knurled TP. LMFAO!!! 😂 Tonal, Sole+ F85 treadmill, Schwinn AD7 air bike, multi-grip pull-up bar, Torque TANK M1 weight sled, and Poseidon Dropbar X Ambition gravel bike are all you need to be a supremely fit 63yo. 💪🏃♂️🚴♂️
For your next Kettlebell video, consider the Apex Adjustable Cast Iron KettleBell, currently sold by Walmart for $55 shipped. It uses 1 inch "standard" plates. It has a 5 pound bottom plate, a male-threaded vertical axle to put plates on, and a 15 pound female-threaded top section. I've used my first one for about 10 years and it's still great. The handle and window are well proportioned, similar to my Vulcan competition Kettlebell. It racks a clean really well and handles bottoms up goblet squats just fine. Load range is listed at 20 to 50 pounds, but I've loaded it up to 53 to ape that 24 kg/52.8 pound bell. It's painted in gray Hammerite. Finish has held up well over 10 years. I've got stuff at all levels of the iceberg, and this bell has gotten more use for less money than almost anything else except for Versa Grips. I now have two, since the first has been so good for so long. Thanks for your suggestions over the years.
I’ll be 45 in November and after not stepping foot in a gym for 15+ years decided I needed to start CrossFit. I love the CrossFit community, but I’m looking to build a home gym as well to add to my workouts and to give my husband a place to workout. My husband is a wounded warrior, wheelchair bound and has reliable use of only one hand (cable machines are safer and easier for him to use) so I’m looking for an all in one that will work for the whole family.
Even tho its in my basement, at this point its my Office Gym. I work from my basement. Bonus there is if I have a work meeting that frustrates me, I can go lift or do pullups or something in between
"30 Olympic barbells, only uses specialty bars" I just love that, lol! I guess in a way I have made it since I have been searching online for a week now for my dream barbell collection and of course I need none of them but just want to have them. My goal is to buy 3 squat heavy duty racks and make it so you walk thru them all since they are turned sideways so they each are used solely for hanging barbells off them. Despite having them I will still choose to workout with a half rack only it will be an upgrade since it will be from home grown lifting. It will be found at the other end of the racks you walk thru. I will keep my existing half rack at the opposite end of the racks. All of this will be in the middle of the gym. All the other space will be for various work out machines (both diy and purchased).
I think I’m in the intermediate level, but more minimalistic. Diamond stall mats (only because they were free), Rogue OH power bar, Rogue curl car, Rogue deep dish plates, powerblocks, Titan cable tower, and wall mounted half rack. I use it all. No fat grips, chains, or sleds. :)
A few things I think were left out are micro plates (for progressive overloading), 2nd rope attachment (for increased ROM), dip belt (for weighted dips, donkey calf raises, or landmine squats), DIY slant board, foam rollers, plyometric boxes (for extra seating), and one-time-use neck trainers.
300lb of weights, A power rack and adjustable dumbells will get you very far. There are guys in developing countries who are jacked with make shift versions of these pieces. More is needed if you get to a very elite level, but I think Coop himself is proof that more beyond a certain point doesn't really make much of a difference as far as physique goes. Rather it just becomes a thing of comfort, convenience and luxury. That's what I based my comment on. No "conjecture" about it you prick.
Omg. This was so hilarious. I was definitely in there. Like we all are. Hahaha I’m actually 64 and am going backwards and got a total gym which I love. So maybe this is a roller coaster ? This was a fun video. We all need to have the ability to laugh at ourselves. But keep moving forward. Even though in my case my forward may be backward. lol. Peace.
He doesn't say he doesn't want to go full expert when he has a business facility staged warehouse with hundreds of gym equipment, though its for reviewing purposes thats still expert.
Coop, Add Heart monitor, Step counter, Wall timer, Calibrated plates Bumper plates by type, Deadlift platform Homemade DIY every home gym has a journey from where it started what you kept throughout and what you use now and what are Christmas ornaments like arms…
Yeah ab wheels are no joke. I’m still in awe of the Ross Enamait videos where he did one-armed standing wheel rollouts with a special wheel he made (basically a rod with a wheel on each side).
Add Sandbags to Intermediate! Cooler than a medicine ball, and right up there with chains and jammer arms for dollars per actual rep. I look at mine at least once every training session.
I'm an advanced intermediate. More intermediate but definitely breaking into the advanced. Just gotta get me some Reppins, a wheeled sled, and that leg press/hack squat.
@@yangtroy1 hey can't go wrong either way pwrblks were for me only cuz woot had them for 200 for the 50lbs and 90 for the first upgrade 70lbs kit so hard to pass up flipped my Bowflex for 200
@@MrJtl10 that was def the move, just spent like 1100 with titan fitness for a rack and weights, and read some horror stories concerning them so hoping all goes well lol
This was entertaining. I laughed because I have been through most of these. I currently have my gym in a 32x32 shop and it takes up 60% of the shop, and I am slowly expanding to the dismay of my wife.
I don't understand using fitness as fashion. I don't really understand fashion at all. The best attire is a beautiful body. I just buy what I need. I still use my first and only barbell rack, even after dropping over 300 lbs on it from squat height. Twice. I guess I didn't get the message the first time. Upper and lower bar holders, you take it apart, adjustable width, dip handles, that sort of deal. I bought towing straps to tie a plate to my foot with so I can do an interesting quad exercise. It's a rehab exercise, but with added weight. I used the spenby chest expander I lucked into at a second hand store years ago, not knowing what it was, until I got too strong for it and, after much deliberation, moved on to Robert Baraban's expander.
😂😂😂 I have a bedroom gym! 😂😂😂 I hate commercial gyms and my husband insists on using the garage for the cars. I ain’t mad at him. He bought me an Anker 7. 😅
I’m a combination of literal bedroom and basement. Bedroom has spin lock DBs and a ton of plates in the closet, along with X3, and a doorway pull up bar. And a stackable platform and rubber wedges under the bed. Then the cellar is mostly storage but also a recumbent stationary bike, ATG reverse treadmill, and Freak Athlete Nordic Hyper GHD (the latter two both fold up). Probably going to end up with a Vitruvian under the bed eventually and ditch the DBs and X3
Not sure what level I am. Got one of those Fitness Reality squat racks you did the drop test on. In my apartment. In my bedroom. On the third floor... (and thinking of getting a Marrs bar as well.) I'm committed man. Or maybe I should be committed, I wonder sometimes......
I use 4 x 8 truck bed mats. They are about 3/8 inch thick and pretty dense rubber. My gym is probably at level 3. I have functional trainer, full set of hex dumbells, 300lb weight set and a weight stack home gym. Does everything I need it to do. Probably about 4k all in.
I’ve been heavily into fitness and nutrition since 2003. I passed my NASM-CPT certification in 2005, and was a P.T for many years. I workout in my bedroom due to convenience (I lift at 2:30a.m before work). Other than that, I can’t relate to a single thing in this video. 💪😂✌️
I have often wondered why you have not reviewed the powertec lever gyms for use in a garage gym. I could be wrong but could not find a review on by you.
I'd rather have 1 inch thick foam tiles on top of plywood than horse stall mats. Horse stall mats smell terrible, it takes a while for them to air out, and the manufacturing of them involves toxic chemicals. Most of the time they will be safe, but there's always going to be a company that doesn't manufacture them correctly to save a few bucks and now you're breathing in chemicals.
This was fun. Got me on the Athlean-X and jammer arms. I actually got the jammer arms real early. The best thing I ever did with jammer arms was sell them 9 months after I bought them for 10% loss. Freakin' jammer arms man.
If experts don't listen to music, I'm content never making it past advanced. In all reality, in my late 30s now, I need music to cover up the sound of all the creaks and cracks my body makes when I lift.
At Dicks Sporting Goods store, those generic weight plates as you call them Coop are $1.70/lb. of higher unless you buy the weight set that included the bar.
Just had a newborn and working out in my garage gym is so convenient. No drive time, no waiting on machines. Warm up and straight into my workout. I bring the baby in garage as well. I can keep an eye on her while she sleeps and I get my workout in!

Yeah I realistically need to work out at home and early in the morning or it’ll never happen.
Oh Boy... This year, I just upgraded to no music, barefoot, one rack per type of lift.
What happen when you max out...?
It's soon the end...
