    I don't think people should judge someones spouse based off of two sentences. It's not supportive to tell someone to get a divorce to the person they vowed to spend the rest of their life with!

    ANyway, personally I would love to not have to work out in my living room! When I jump all around sometimes I shake stuff right off the tables. I know I am loud and noisy and my husband says it sounds like a herd of elephants charging through the house. ANd he is VERY supportive! But working out is loud! And hot and sweaty ;-)

    SO I say build a space in the garage and maybe you all can workout together! I'm a bit jealous of your soon to be man cave! Hope it works out for you! If you can't build one in there maybe you can workout while your wife is away? Or she can go hang out in the bedroom to stay warm until your done? I'm sure you all can come up with something ;-)

    Look in her purse for two raisins :flowerforyou:

    Buahahah. THIS^^

    lol...ouch! Dang, You guys are mean : ) . I'm not really complaining. I workout in our living room. It does get pretty nasty with me and my 17 year old son working out in there all the time. It's getting stank up.

    I like the mat idea. I am definitely going to do that.

    meant in humor....wish the best for you.:love::flowerforyou: :drinker:

    Also!! Don't forget to leave the garage door open when you work out so all the neighborhood ladies cruise by and start chatting you up. That'll show your wife for putting you out in the garage like a dog!!

    LOL! ^ I would follow that plan, and not invest much into your garage gym. I'm guessing she'll have you back in the house in no time :wink: :smile:

    Anyone turn their Garage into a Gym? My wife says I make too much noise (jumping, grunting, etc). Plus, when I get a good sweat going I have to open the doors and "its too cold outside" (Her words, not mine). She works out at Golds, but I don't have time for that. I workout mostley to Beachbody like insanity and P90X, so I use my own weights and TV, etc. Anyone have some good ideas to how I should set-up my garage. I have to put a TV in there now (I guess I should just go ahead and make my own Man Cave while I'm at it). I'm thinking of building my own pull-up bar. Other ideas...

    Ceiling mount pull up bar. Inexpensive and easy to install.

    And yes, I converted garage into workout space. I am not done yet, but I have layed down horse stall matts over entire floor (not too expensive). Bought good second hand equipment (full set of DB's/Oly weight set/etc.) It's great for P90X. Also google RX'D and Rogue Fitness. My wife prefers that I stay out there banging weights.

    We converted out garage into a workout room - mostly because we have hardwood floors, and even with matting, I don't want to risk damaging the floors. Also - because y'all stink. :)

    It worked out very well. We got cheap interlocking mats on amazon - my husband was able to build his weight set and bench piece by piece, so he got exactly what he wanted. Get some tall mirrors cheap at Target (5$) and a dry erase board so you can track your routines.

    Now he has plenty of room, can listen to whatever he wants, can run fans or leave the door open, and he has actually made such a nice little gym that I now join him in lifting.

    That's what you get for getting married. You better make her happy or else she takes half your hard earned money.

    My gym is in my garage and I love it! I have matting, treadmill, elliptical, TV, radio, olympic weight bench/set, squat rack and a million accesories out there. I even have air conditioning, heating and a bathroom. I could live out there and somedays I would if I could! :laugh:

    tell her to go to the gym so she cant hear your workout over the sound of her own.

    Tell her if she spent more time doing the laundry and making you a sandwich and less time worrying about what you are doing, this wouldn't be an issue

    DO IT.

    My husband has free reign on the two car garage that came with our property. He has turned half into a photography studio and the other into a man-cave.

    My brother in law has his own gym set up in the rumpus room of their house and I have friends that have turned their garages into gyms.

    Get a full length mirror to check your posture, some mats to soften up the ground a bit.

    close the door of the room your working out in.. tell her to turn on the tv so she doesn't hear you.. solved.

    Those are the rules in my house for alone time.

    What mats did you get on amazon? I am looking around and everything seems pretty high.

    Funny pretty much sounds like me. My hubby's biggest complain is that I turn off the heater and open up the patio door, so when everyone gets up it's frezzing in the living room. Hubby built a pull up bar using some pipe from lowes that was very inexpensive. Not sure what kind of pipe it was but if you take a trip to the hardware store you'll get a feeling for what you need and it will be very inexpensive. I have been thinking about having him comverting the garage into a work out room as well.
    Good luck with it.
