This is called the 3 Seconds Pull-Up Bar. It stores away and then folds up for use using a gas spring, and according to the company, has a supposed 500kg (1,100lb) weight capacity. Pretty genius if you need something to get out of the way when not in use.

The $85M Florida Gators Football Facility, which was just remodeled in 2022, received an upgrade with all made-in-the-USA Sorinex Gym Equipment. Sorinex started in Richard's Sorin's garage decades ago and is now led by his son, Bert.

Me at 1AM on Alibaba: “Custom stainless steel squat rack with barbell and plates for $250 with free shipping?!” Turns out, it’s a home gym for ants…

Way too many people overlook the 300lb weight set when starting a home gym. For $350, you get 300lbs in plates AND a 45lb Olympic Barbell. At this price, everyone should have a home gym.

I've seen many potential Final Destination scenes in home gyms. This is one of them...

The owner of Cardillo Weight Belts built a gym on his dock. Instead of weight plates, he fills 50-gallon drums that slowly leak water for automatic drop-sets. Nearly all of the equipment is custom-made, and he uses it year-round.

Here is Johannes Hosflot Klaebo (Gold-Medal Winner) training on his home gym skiing treadmill. Guy is an absolute savage.

Don’t buy a Landmine for your home gym. Instead, take a $.99 tennis ball, cut an X in it, and stick it on the end of the sleeve. The Landmine is one of the biggest bang for the buck pieces of equipment everyone could benefit from using.

This is the yet-to-be released Rogue Air Rhino. It combines a belt squat machine with the fan flywheel you’d normally find on a rower. Essentially, it provides unlimited resistance that instantly matches the user’s power. AKA, it will be brutal to use.

Costco now has home gym flooring that doesn't suck. I HIGHLY recommend getting these over foam tiles. Rolled Rubber&gt;Horse Stall Mats&gt;These&gt;Foam Tiles

Whenever someone says all budget home gym equipment is unsafe, I show them this video. That’s 705LB being dropped on a $200 squat rack. I ended up giving this rack to a buddy and he still uses it without issues.

This is a great pressing movement for home gym owners looking to add variety.

Costco now has hex LED lighting that is an easy and cheap upgrade for home gyms. Making the gym a place you actually want to go to is an oft-overlooked aspect to building a gym at home. This is a quick way to make it brighter and better looking.

This guy from Germany is turning scrap material into gym machines and I'm here for it.

I constantly hear people say they’d build a home gym, but they park their car in their garage. Here’s a solution that allows you to do both.

Russia has some of the best-equipped outdoor public gyms in the world. This one is located in Saint Petersburg, Chkalovskoye, Petrogradsky district and has: -Dumbbells - Hack Squats - Adjustable Benches - Viking Presses - Leverage Machines - Leg Presses All 'free' to use.

Christmas present of the year, right here… We get a lot of cardboard in our house from all the gym equipment I review. Enter this cardboard cutting machine called a Chompsaw. My kids can now cut cardboard to build things with, and there’s no exposed blade.

Buy a cheap walking treadmill and build an incline for next to nothing. Driving to the gym just to walk is so inefficient. Bring it home.

When the late, great Arthur Jones sold Nautilus (original inventor of bodybuilding machines) he created MedX. MedX made some of the most ridiculous, yet “effective” equipment of all time. This is one of those machines, the Cervical Rotation Machine.

Nike created a weight plate using recycled outsoles from shoes. I decided to cut one in half to see what was inside. Turns out, it's a standard bumper plate with a cool outer layer.

This is a perfect example of why buying cheap equipment can often end in a bad day. Every functional trainer should have the ability for the full stacks to be in use without this happening. Even without being bolted to the ground.

There’s a company called Fit Truk that sell solar-powered mobile gym trucks for the low price of $190k - $360k. They feature: - Squat Racks - Functional Trainers - Dumbbells - Rowers - TV’s and Water Stations All on a medium-duty chassis box truck.

This guy built a TMNT-themed home gym that’s hidden behind a bookcase door. It features a full gym setup including a rack, plates, barbell, and dumbbells as well as what appears to me to be every turtle collectible possible.

This new weight bench is a full-on gym machine. It has attachments for: - Chest Flyes - Chest Press - Shoulder Press - Preacher Curl - Floor Press And all of them are completely adjustable.

The world is still completely unaware that digital resistance exists and gyms all over the world will soon be full of it (like it or not.) I recently visited YouTuber Will Tennyson’s home gym, and showed him for the first time. The reaction is always the same, total surprise.

The key to using the sauna consistently is removing friction. This is my setup: - Plunge Sauna - Next to the home gym - WiFi-controlled - Oversized heater for quick start - Outside Also, Sauna &gt; Cold Plunge.

Alex Honnold, trains out of an absolutely decked-out home gym. Here it is in all its glory.

These are the thinnest weight plates I’ve found. They’re CNC’d from a solid block of steel and then are 4-layer electroplated. A 45lb plate is 0.78” thin, ~40% thinner than most cast iron options.

Jack Hughes heavily emphasized off-ice training. I played college hockey. You had phenoms who never touched the weight room start to get passed up at that level. When you have the raw talent and drive to win that Jack does, you can’t be beat.

Japanese gym equipment is extremely unconventional. Instead of training just hypertrophy, their machines often strengthen through mobility. They also have 5x the amount of centenarians than the US. I think they’re onto something.

This guy is a union welder by day and a gym equipment fabricator by night. He made this 2-in-1 grip machine that is absolutely righteous.

Detached home offices have become more popular in the past few years, but so have detached home gyms. This is an example using massive bi-fold doors and a full mirrored wall.

This guy is trying to reinvent the weight plate so the center of mass is lowered to: (and I quote) "give you control over the amplitude of undulations." I can't see anyone being upset if a gym replaced all its weight plates with these /s

This is a quick (and cheap) solution for preventing gym flooring from separating from Alan Thrall. You simply take an $.85 rafter mending plate and hammer the flooring over it to keep them together. It works with the 3/4" horse stall mats, but applies to thinner rubber flooring as well.

A company from Norway made barbells and dumbbells with built-in collars. I’ve been using them for 5+ years including many ridiculous tests. They still work like new.

This is called the HyperDrive and it’s a new Korean invention for building speed. It’s unique for allowing incremental loading for both the carriage and the lever that gets heavier the further up the track you go.

This cable attachment will soon be in nearly every bodybuilding gym bag. It combines a traditional D handle with a wrist cuff. This gives your hand something to hold without grip being the limiting factor in training. They're made by Eric Janicki for his company Torq Gear.

I want to see home gym closets take over cities. This design is absolutely genius.
