Who says you can’t have a home gym with 1/2 of a one-car garage?

Nobody says that.

This was taken during a workout where I had it set up for bench pressing, then go right into rows.
It took me a while to build up, but I’m finally comfortable NOT having a gym membership.
Since there is limited space, I made sure everything was fairly portable, so I can move things around depending on what that day’s routine is.
Here’s what’s I have: mini-farmers handles (titan), Echo 2.0 bar, Bella Bar, EZ Curl bar (titan), echo bumper plates, Kettlebells (kettlebell king & Rogue), independent squat stands w/spotter arms (titan), bands (Rogue), rings (Rogue), landmine row handles for the barbell (titan), plate storage with wheels (rogue), plyo box (titan), 6 bar storage (titan), Mimi deadlift jack (titan), ab dolly, adjustable bench with wheels (Generic brand) dry erase white board, safety pins for bands, a hard/thick roll out mat (I forget from where) and a TV hooked up to the Apple TV, I use the timer apps, and a small space heater.
I have never been happier in my life to have something to call my own. No excuses with it being 20 ft away. 😂😂

What are the dimensions of the space? I'm planning something myself and trying to gauge. Thanks.

My normal garage space is about 20x10, but since I can only use a portion of it, it’s about 10.5x10. I have PLENTY of barbell clearance.
Here’s a photo from a day I was doing Snatches

Thank you kindly. That's about the same size of space that I would be looking at.

How do you like the echo bumper plates? Thinking about getting some only thing is I may be working out on asphalt when I’m going overhead Because ceiling space is limited. Looks sick

Dude, never been so happy with a purchase. Durable, accurate. Competitive pricing (unheard of with rogue right??)
I initially purchased the 230 lb echo bumper plate package and then went back for more a month later.

People say this?! Hahahaha I'm in a 1-car slot as well friend!

No clue, but I had to come up with a catchy title 😁
You too? Hell yes! You have any photos?

LOL I'm kidding I'm sure most people think it's too small! I'm actually sandwiched in the middle of a shared 3-car garage (one side is storage that the neighbors just use for their junk as they break-up-and-get-back-together every year, and the other side is an old lady who only parks her car there half the time and has nothing else in there) so I have the ability to go outside my space to move stuff around, which definitely makes it easier, but during and at the end of every session it's all in my space, so it's basically the same thing.

This is older now and I've added a few things here and there (dumbbell racks, multi-grip pullup bar, a few specialty bars, more puzzle mat etc.) but the core is the same.

My first home gym was exactly like this. I had about 1 foot of space to put weights on my X-3 titan rack.
Nice setup

Nice army flag

I’m gonna go out on a limb and say this was most definitely an Alsruhe workout.

😂😂 how did you know? Amazing psychic abilities!

Supersetting bench with pendlay rows and flutter kicks. But the real giveaway was the 20-15-10 conditioning.

Oh, I forgot it was on the whiteboard in the photo 💪🏼
Loving his program btw, amazing.

Yeah they’re a lot of fun. Super efficient and with some modifications it’s really scalable.

Hey, how much clearance is there between the end of the barbell and the garage door? I’m looking to rearrange my garage gym soon.
2
Here’s another bench day setup I usually don’t have the plate storage by the garage door, so I usually have about 2.5 ft between the barbell and the door (depending on how I drop it) and I’ve never hit the door. The other side of the barbell has more clearance than that because there is a walkway where the washer and dryer are.
There’s enough space to do barbel snatches, cleans etc

Looks cozy!😁

Indeed, and heats up quick too. But sometimes I wish I had the space that you have. 🙌🏻
2
I bet! The ac unit in mine helps a bit but still gets hot! You’ve got the the essentials though!😁

I have the same barbell storage from Titan, good choice!

Roger that. I like that it has plastic inserts to protect my barbells.

Oh hell yes bro! F’ing loving it!

One day I'll build a gym inside my bedroom. sleep inside the rack.
Grind don’t stop 😤😤😤🔥🔥🔥😩😩💯💯
Haha epic! Do it do it!
