Anyone own a home gym?

[Tarik One]

I'm considering getting one. I don't have much time to hit the gym these days and the weather will be changing soon.


Are they effective? A basic one with pulleys, such as:

wtf is that :lol

i have a squat rack/bench combo but rarely use it.. its enough to build mass but i miss the variety of exercises you can do in a gym and its easy to get distracted at home

im talking about something like this

Yeah what alen said

go to a gym

You'll actually be inclined to work out there and a home gym will never have as much equipment and options as a gym

Even if I focus at home, I get a much greater workout at the gym.. unsure why.

Just the pressure of being around other people I guess

Totally different environment

Nah just a treadmill, elliptical, and some free weights up to about 25 pounds. Barely use it, only the treadmill/elliptical if it's too cold/hot outside. Family friend is a bodybuilder and had a legitimate full fledged gym in his parents' garage.

One of my goals is to have a home gym. Use the garage and just have some essential stuff like a power rack and dumb bells. Also a pull up and dip station. Sick of having to wait for the power rack at the gym. Or barely getting out before closing time because I have to go at hours when it is less crowded. Also no more monthly fees I will eventually recoup the cost anyways.

I prefer going to a gym.

I would love to have spacious, well-equiped private gym at home, so I could work out whenever I feel like it. I wouldn't give up my public gym though.
