I recently moved and my gym went from seasonal garage to full time basement.

I'm a powerlifter, so it's pretty spartan, but functional.

    It's tight. That's for sure. I'm pretty small (short and not very broad) so it works for me. Like my rower is literally in the corner up against the wall behind and to the side and I don't hit either. For someone taller/larger (broad) it probably wouldn't work out as well. I have enough space for me, but it is tight.

    Although the pics don't show it well, there is about 10-12x5 ft of free floor space. 10 with the bag up, 12 with the bag down.

    For a long time; I didn't have the storage racks, pegs, plate trees, etc and that stuff was ALL over. That was a disaster. If I clean up after myself, it's very workable now. Tight, but worth it to have it all to myself in my basement available 24/7.

    Granted, it looks a gym you'd see on Criminal Minds... but it's all mine.

    @tinkerbellang83 I see you have a mat over a wood floor - I'll be converting a bedroom with a wood floor into a workout area. While I've never dropped a weight in my life, I am concerned about the floor. However, I have chemical sensitivities and rubber mats are simply not an option and newish rubber products is why I'm not joining any of the area gyms. I have three yoga mats and am planning on using them as a just-in-case. (While they are rubber, they are quite old and so thoroughly offgassed.)

    Do you use your stability ball regularly? We had them at work but all stopped using them. Meetings were fun for a while though, when we were all bouncing around, out of sync.

    Soooo much envy here!
    Only a partial basement here and my oldest is living in it while going to school. To make room in the garage I'd have to give up my automotive tools and woodworking equipment :'(

    @kshama2001 Mostly as a foot rest lol but I do use it for my abs work outs.

    The hubby set this up for me in our little NYC apartment. Not too shabby and I hope to add a few more dumbbells and maybe a bench...

    Finally got around to clearing my garage out to make room for my power cage and punch bag stand.
    Not overly impressive but functional with plenty of room.

    Look at those sweet fractional plates scattered around like lollies :)
