    Wow, your other half likes to exercise ? That's freaking awesome ...... wish I could get my husband to hit the gym. I go to the gym most days, but one snowy day I was in the living room doing yoga ...... he stepped over me to get to his couch ..... and totally oblivious, he puts the Military Channel on ...... nothing like the sound of gunfire to quiet the mind ......

    I wish I had a garage ...... and a chainsaw ...... and a freezer :bigsmile:

    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!!

    Just pictured American Beauty...

    have you tried sound proofing it? you can do that pretty cheeply,and then work out to your hearts content and even party afterwards in a bar and your wife is none the wiser! :wink:

    sound proofing the living room? That doesn't seem very feasible to me.

    OK...serious answer...

    I think the Man Cave/Work Out space is an awesome idea!! That solves the issue!! It's still a part of the house, so no big deal! I'd say leave the concrete floor and get the cushy workout mats to put where needed. Set up surround sound and get a big screen TV. Justify it with the cost of going to a gym for a year. It will even out. Then...y'all can turn it into a movie viewing room for a get together or for the kiddos.

    I'd say set it up with the weights opposite of the door that leads into the house. Less noise against the adjacent wall. Put the TV on the wall opposite of the garage door so you can face it for your DVD workouts. Put a couch or some kind of comfy seating next to the door leading into the house. It should absorb sound. Finally...get a mini fridge for your water.

    That should do it!

    LOL I don't mind the noise my fiance makes when he works out in the house. But no opening of doors. We live in Wisconsin, and it's February and snowing all the dang time, and we have a 1 y/o son that i do not want getting pneumonia tyvm! I'd wager to guess if you're northerners she feels the same, except for the baby part.

    I am a Michigander, and with the heat bill at $300+ / month, i wouldn't appreciate the doors being opened either. If they have a basement, perhaps he could turn that into a workout room, instead of the garage? That is what my husband and I have done, and it works great for both of us.

    Id love a garage to turn into a gym! I currently just jump around im my bedroom then my partner comes in pretending to jog and heavy breaths making fun of me. Then my 2 yr old son tries to join in and when Im jogging/kicking its not a good idea to have a knee high lightening bolt speed across my path! I think a man cave/gym is a great idea and you should do it

    tv doesn't need much - just add a $59 roku box and a dvd player (for your p90x). otherwise, if you stream from your PC, I think apple tv might work better.

    I would think she'd be happy cause you're not spending money on the gym membership! more for savings! I hope she gets a grip on reality and loves you for who you are and what you are doing!
