Brief summary of the key components of one person’s home gym and amount it cost to put together. Share your thoughts and experiences if you’re familiar with this equipment or your comments on your own machines.
Cost of a Home Gym?
Quick(ish) overview of the main pieces of my home gym and how much it all cost. In the future I'd like to re-visit this video and discuss pros/cons of the equipment and if I'd change anything after I've gotten the chance to train on it for a bit.

I went the opposite route and just got the cheapest stuff i could get away
with, €150 squat rack, €820 for 245kg of weights, 2 shitty oly bars, a curl
bar and 2 oly dumbell handles and thats about is haha
+Simon Standbridge You’re a smart guy.
+Simon Standbridge I’m from Dublin as well where did you get your bench
+PLUTREA Got them from “Irish Lifting” in Dublin, not pretty stuff but does
the job for me.
+Simon Standbridge where did you buy the bars and the disks?
Lost me at spending $200 for the rack to be blue.
+Judge Jedd haha thanks man! One day it’ll be in a warehouse!
+Judge Jedd check mine out!
+Nick GucciDildo what did he do wrong
+cheezwhizvids What’s your gym, post a vid. Then we can see how your
superior decisions make a better home gym. Thx
Has anyone ever told you that you look like Matt Halpern (the drummer for
Periphery)?
just sealed the deal on me not ever wanting a home gym.
it would take around 200 yrs payback time
Because the cost of a gym membership for a lifetime at some dump or place
you have to be around tools is so much better.
Is this what you have? I just googled every part of it and it looks very
legit I might consider building a home gym of my own.
+Matthew Barnard lol
no dumbbells mate? besides the small ones lol.
+MuscleNMind i have such big dumbbells…
+MuscleNMind They have them!
Same song as chris jones, cookie cutter small fry
should work out naked in your next video
+Uawarebrah? WTF?
I’m gonna slowly start building my own home gym. Dealing with shitty people
at the gym has been a huge motivation killer for me. No excuses if it’s in
my basement. Good video man.
+krazylacrosse19 Good luck dude!
Such a great investment! This would pay for itself in like 4 years with the
money you would save on gym memberships!
+kakka626 You should invest in this home gym man. In 60 years you will save
on a gym membership!
+Rachelle Watson you’re absolutely right. I spent something close to what
he did and factoring in monthly membership fee, gas to and from gym, and
driving time saved..it’ll have paid for itself in 2 years. Plus you cant
put a price on waking up, walking downstairs and jumping right into a
workout and doing whatever you want when you want, without waiting.
+Rachelle Watson I pay 100 euros a year for gym membership XD
That means you gEt coaching, and classes or something.. in wich case home
gym cant replace that but yea, thts my thinking
+rogue voleur Probably something like crossfit. Membership for that stuff
is like $150/month. Or perhaps an Olympic lifting gym.
That’s about 200 months gym membership! :O
+RebirthFitness He may lose money looking at it like that but your ignoring
the whole convenience thing and we all know time is money
Lol he probably made whatever the cost was, back.
Brandon will most likely live longer than another 200 months but if he
doesn’t-then he lost money.
Depending on the quality of the gym
I feel like all this home gym and cross fit is a reaction to the corporate
fitness industry and its shity vale. When you attend a gym you have to put
up with over crowding, disgusting people and just plain over pricing.
+anglekan yeah commercial gyms are trash. Only care about money. Most of
the people that work there aren’t even in good shape. How is that inspiring?
no old school weider all in one machine? not a gym…
That’s the equivalent of a bow flex.
Where did you get your decal logo?
echodgraphics
How much room did you leave between the wall on the left, and the rack?
few feet b/c I had space. I’ve since rearranged my set up a bit.
How tall is your ceiling?
ty
+shadower darkisb 8.5 feet
That’s almost ten years worth of gym memberships at my local gym which has
WAY more equipment.
I don’t know what kind of hours you work but if your putting in 60 hour
weeks or more not counting commute then a home gym is usually the only
practical option. Especially if you work nights like I do with no real 24hr
gym available close to home or work. Home gyms even ones that costs
thousands of dollars make up for that price in time saved. Time is the most
important thing in life since it can’t be bought and all of us only have a
finite amount of it before our end. When you look at it that way home gyms
make absolute sense.
+xAZAZELx13 As a 38 year old long time lifter I can say that now that I’ve
spent up on a home gym and have got everything I need, I’ve never been
happier. It’s awesome being able to do everything I need in the comfort of
my own home.
+xAZAZELx13 and in the case he wanted to sell all this stuff he could…
and the regular gym member couldnt… it’s like buying a house vs renting.
+Not Important – hip thrusts….that’s one that most wouldn’t feel very
comfortable doing at the public gym… not to mention sometimespeople just
….they want to scialise… talk chitty chat… it depends on your’ gym,
where you live but where I live they’re very social there and I’m not….at
all… I can block ’em all out to a point but eventually it becomes a
distraction… It just depends man…plus I prefer to train shirtless and
can’t always there… if ever… and I’m outta shape so compared to the
more seasoned lifters there… meh…
+xAZAZELx13 But you don’t get to use them all whenever you want… You have
to wait many times or even skip an excercise.. Home gym ftw. Its yours, its
clean and everytime available. You also save time.
wow whata dream home gym….love it…great job!!
+Theresa S Thanks!
The best thing about all of this is it’s tax deductible because it’s
featured in your Youtube videos. So that save you about 15% of the cost in
Social Security and Medicare taxes, another 28% of the cost in income taxes
and whatever the state income tax is in your state. So you basically got it
for about 50% off over a 5 year depreciation schedule.
+Debonair73 Solid point!
Newbies buy this kind a junk…use it for month.. then it becomes a dust
collector’s..
but your not a newbie……hummmm……. Let me know when u sell this on
craigslist..
