tell her to go to the gym so she cant hear your workout over the sound of her own.0

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 issue0

Anyone turn their Garage into a Gym? (I guess I should just go ahead and make my own Man Cave while I'm at it).
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.0 -
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 ;-)
google sarcasm and read the definition.

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.0 -
I love this cat!0 -
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:
I'm so jealous, I'm going to start calling you bulky behind your back.0 -
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.
What mats did you get on amazon? I am looking around and everything seems pretty high.0 -
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.

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.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...
Good luck with it.0 -

I really don't think this is divorce worthy. You both live in the house, so you're not the only one with needs. Get an air-conditioner or a fan so you don't have to open the doors. I dunno where you live, but in the North-Eastern part of the country, it gets pretty damn cold. Or insulate your garage and do something with the walls to absorb sound instead of having it bounce around (carpet, drapes, etc.). I really don't get why divorce is the first solution that people come up with.0

Please don't listen to the people telling you to get a. divorce. People in this country are way too divorce happy when things can get worked out especially over such silly things..0

Great advice, his wife will be much warmer with the air con or fans on.
What you got against divorce?0 -
My roommates say when I jump around it wakes them up and makes the house shake... so I get what she's saying on that level. Have you considered - before you go to the garage - getting a fan instead of opening the door? Tell her it's an hour a day and she will just have to put up with the jumping and grunting?
If you decide to move it to the gym, make sure you have the proper support under your feet - cement is going to really hurt your joints!
If you want to invest in some weights, do it, get a bench, you have the dumbells - good investment, being able to adjust the weight ones (I think you can find them at Walmart), yoga mat, a stability ball, maybe your own water cooler?
Just some suggestions Good luck! You may even have more room! Also, let her KNOW before you go in the garage that the cars will no longer be parked in there if this is what she REALLY wants and record it. I'm a woman and I know this can come back and bite you: "Ok fine, go out there and workout, but my car is still going in there so figure it out!" 0 -

You know, recent scientific studies have shown that marriage is the leading cause of divorce.0 -

Absolute tosh! You know as well as I do it's down to mfp.0 -
Well as long as you're going with the man cave idea you should get a keg a rator for post workout beer.0

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!!

I know a place that sells all that stuff, but the mods won't like me advertising it here. :bigsmile:0 -
Option
Slap the %#$# out of your wife and tell her to deal with it
BAAAHAHAHAAH!!!!0 -
Not sure where you live, but I got my exercise mat, the puzzle kind from Walmart for about $20, bought second hand free weights and I use my computer to play my dvds. However I do live alone, though my dog does stare at me while I'm working out...I'm pretty sure she's judging me.
LMAO! My dogs don't know what to think of me but when I bring the exercise ball out they get the hell out of dodge!!! LOL when I am in a fast pace and need weights the ball has been known to go flying at the dogs and they are only 10 lbs so the ball is bigger then them LOL!0 -
If you can I would go with the turning the garage into a gym idea! Back in my old place we turned the basement into the gym. Best. move. Ever. We could work out anytime of the day without worrying about disturbing each other. It was lovely.0

One of the big things is if you're still planning to still use the garage as a garage, as well. If you're looking for it to be a dual-task room, there are some rubber mats sold that are designed for cars to drive over them. Usually, the intent is to give mechanically inclined individuals some cushion under their feet while they work on the car or home handymen some padding while at their workbenches, but I imagine they will also help for a gym environment.0

If you have time to workout at home you have time to go to the gym. I leave my wife at home and go to the gym. Guaranteed quiet time from her, a good workout and time away from her (oh, said that already). It's a win-win situation.0

Don't listen to the divorce thing! If you can get a man cave out of it DO IT!! I still wish I had my own area to workout. It can be difficult to workout when another party in the house is in the area you are. Of course mine is the other way around, my husband does not mind that I am working out in fact he will ask if we can watch a movie while I walk on the treadmill. Sometimes though I just want loud music and just do it! I am grateful for a Husband that is as supportive as he is. If I could turn our garage into a workout gym I would love it! A little cooler so I don't get so hot and my own place no one in my way 0

Add a shower in the garage. Just sayin...0
