I’ve gone back and forth with this space but now I am committing it as my home gym. Phase 1 has started: clean out, clean up and draw up a floor and equipment plan. I will update occasionally as progress, changes and additions are made.

    I like your neighbors bus. You have a lot of space to make a great gym.

    Working with 390 sq ft. This is a start, just gotta tell myself baby steps!😎 eventually I would like Olympic weights and a full size rack. But we all gotta start somewhere right?

    I built a garage about 9 months ago. 1st floor for my gym, tools and bike and the 2nd floor for entertaining.

    The cage is from Titan Fitness- T-3 Series Tall Power Rack and pulley Tower Combo, Body-Solid GDIP59 Dip Stand, Body-Solid SFID425 Commercial Adjustable Bench, Body Solid GPCB329 Preacher Curl, Body Solid Cam Series Leg Ext/Curl Machine, about 400 lbs of Body Solid Rubber Grip Set. 5-50 lbs rubber hex dumbells are by Empire.

    The heavy bag is 150 lb bag. I boxed for about 10 years and then had a gym with the Police Athletic League for another 10 years..wanted something heavy that doesn't move much.

    I mounted it using a 2 x 6 that was 12'. I cut a 4ft length that would be mounted flush with the ceiling which is framed with 2 x 6 16" centers. The remaning 8 feet i cut to about 14" lengths to go in between the rafters. I doubled them up and just nailed them. They are actually underneath the 4ft 2 x 6 that is mounted to the ceiling. The 4ft is secured using 8 3 inch lag screws. It's not going anywhere and i hit the bag 4-5 times a week.

    Thanks also for the comments. If you have any other questions, let me know.

    That’s it.

    I am intrigued - looking at some rings to start using for the pull up challenge. What all do you do on yours? I am in the early stages of researching them and haven’t looked into full workouts yet.
