Machine Reviews
Looking for the best Machines for your garage gym? You can check out my Garage Gym Basics Cables article for a comprehensive run down on all of the cable options out there. And below are all of the Machine Reviews I have done with items I have handled myself. Don’t see something you think I should have reviewed? Vote for it on my Review Pipeline.
In a home or garage gym, you often can’t own a full line of commercial machines. So you make compromises and put together a few pieces that do fit. You might be able to fit more if the pieces fold away, store away, or otherwise breakdown. But your best bet is likely to snag a machine that does a lot. We just don’t want a jack of all trades, master of none situation. So picking the right machine is crucial.
One of the best places to grab home gym machines is from Strength Warehouse USA. They have offerings from a ton of companies. Not everyone, but a lot of good options at different budgets.
Ultimately your choice to include a machine in your gym will be based on your needs, goals, budget, and space.
