Looking to set up a home or garage gym? Want to make sure you avoid any missteps in the process? Not sure what bar or rack to buy? I’m here to help. I’ve written countless articles, handled tons of equipment, read and watched every review, and I am here to pass on what I know to be true about setting up a home gym to you. Below you can find my current Garage Gym Starter Pack. These are the items I’d recommend you grab to start a quality home gym on a budget. If you’d like to dig in more, then my Garage Gym Basics series is for you!
I cover planning and budget, used market tips and tricks, as well as each individual item in depth with recommendations based off of your space, budget and needs. I have laid out multiple options in each and provided justification for why they are included in my list. You can rest assured that anything I recommend is something I wouldn’t hesitate to put in my own gym, or recommend to a friend. If you are here, reading this, I consider you a friend.
I believe in starting small. If we focus on the basics for a garage gym, we are going to end up with a few items. A rack, a bench, a bar, some plates, and some floor protection.
You can most certainly find cheaper equipment than what I will recommend in these articles. Amazon is loaded with options. But again, I’m only recommending what I would put in my gym or recommend to a friend. Take a look at this post to see what happens with bad equipment. And that was a $300 BENCH!
I personally lean towards American Made equipment, and I like things that can handle my powerlifting aspirations. But I’ll include items that fit different budgets and goals.
Without further ado, let’s get into the Garage Gym Basics.

I hope you find this to be true as well. If you do not, please let me know. I want to make sure I am being honest, transparent, and authentic.
