Garage Gym Basics

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. My Garage Gym Basics series will cover some of the initial things you should think about and understand before buying ANYTHING for your garage gym.

I cover planning and budget, used market tips and tricks, and some detailed FAQs and more to help you think through your space, budget, and goals.

The Garage Gym Basics

You can most certainly find cheaper equipment than what I will recommend. 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!

Will There Only Be Affiliate Links?

Short answer, no. I am going to recommend the companies and products I recommend, whether I make anything off of it or not. Take a look at my reviews and you’ll notice the same thing. Over the past several years I believe I have proven my abilities to write a review, recommend a product, and all around support a company based on the product/company itself, not the dollars they kick back to me. You can check out my stance on affiliates here.

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.
