For my whole life I’ve had some form of home gym. When I was a little kid it was a bench, barbell and plates in my parents bedroom. As a teenager my dad opened the first commercial gym in our little town. The equipment was really basic. A lot of fabricated racks, basic benches and of course barbells and plates. Fast forward to 2019 my wife and I bought a house with a double garage and before we even moved in I was planning my end game garage gym. It’s a small space and not nearly as open as I would like but I’ve managed to compress a full lifting experience into about 150 SF. About 2/3 of one side of the garage.
