I’m quite envious. I’d love to have a gym in my garage. It would take major convincing to me wife.
Talk money. How much do you spend on a membership in a year? How many years have you been lifting and how long do you really plan on lifting? A home gym pays for itself especially with fuel, driving time away from home. You really have to be dedicated to lift at home though, not for the weekend warrior in my opinion.

The wife bought me a space heater, nothing like squating and seeing your breath. It just takes forever to warm up the knees in the cold, upper body is no problem. Rather lift in the cold then go back to a gym. I have to work out of town for the next couple of weeks and have to go back to my old gym. Not looking forward to that.

So would but I hate the cold .I dont know about yourself.But my biggest proplem with gyms is when I first started lifting outside of a high school weight room it was at a hardcore gym.When i was in school i use to drive 30 minutes to go to this place.Im talking late 80’s.It was a MoM & PoP type of gym.The owner was a older guy that competed at the master level in Bodybuilding.He also put on all the AAU Bodybuilding contest in the state.The type of place that had pics of Bodybuilders on the wall and trophys in the windows.A place where that wanted hard core guys.If you told me back then, that you would one day be kicked out of a gym for grunting one too many times. I would have told you that you where full of shit.times have changed I just never changed with them.

I hear you when I lived in south texas (Corpus Christi) we had a Golds gym that was where all the PL’s went in the early 90’s. Then Golds started to up there franchise cost and the guy had to sell. After that I bounced around from Fitness clubs etc. I finally figured out I really do not like “people” in mass and would rather just suffer and work out alone. It does effect not having a spotter especially on Bench. That is why my bench sucks, but I have been really working on my squat and DL for the past year.
Okay have to put something so I remember that I was not a lazy ass for not lifting. WORK pays the bills, being out of town on business sucks. I have to find and interview another mid-level provider for a industrial site. Next week I am home and will hit it hard.
