Figured this may be a good place to check.

Do any of you have a home gym setup; if so, where did you get your stuff at?

I am thinking of spending in the range of $3000-4000 to get started.

Squat squat rack w attachments, bench, dumbbells, rubber weights, rubber floor, curl bar, etc.

I know a ton of places will probably be sold out right now, but let me know if you have any ideas!

Thanks

e. again this is just to get started, not the entire gym setup

Have gone through many versions of home gyms, mostly in different rooms of a house (thread here: https://forums.d2jsp.org/topic.php?t=64139895&f=60 although RIP using tinypic having lost most of the pictures) I actually have a 'closet gym' inside my condo which takes up about 300 sq ft and consists of gym mats, U90 Powerblocks with straight bar attachment, folding bench, pull up bar, punching bag, etc. which can all be stored in my closet/under my bed (minus the wall mounted pull up bar). Wish I used a different hosting service, my previous thread very much had a bunch of variations of how to efficiently use space.

In terms of your question, very much depends on your location and space, but I'm a huge supporter of used equip (although I understand this isn't necessarily the time to interact with other people, similar dangers exist with purchasing new, either way you should be thoroughly cleaning whatever equipment you purchase). It's mostly kijiji up here in Canada, looks like you're in US which means craigslist (I think letgo is down there too?).

Ultimately what your home gym will look like depends on how much space you have to dedicate to it. Quite frankly 3-4k is far more than needed, unless for whatever reason you absolutely will not touch anything not Rogue branded.

Happy to assist, but you need to provide more information if you're serious about building a home gym opposed to flexing I have 3-4k to blow on weights.

i can have to you spending about half that and you will have everything you will EVER need

msg me if serious

Yeah I dug in and did some research the last couple days...

Minus the fact that most stuff is sold out under the current circumstances, I think I have a decent idea of where to get stuff.
I would buy used, but I live in a pretty underpopulated area and there is not anything around.
@Wopsey - It will be a garage gym. I am thinking 2 stall mats for Rack/Bench area and another stall mat for a dead-lift platform

When stuff eventually comes back in stock.. this is what I was thinking:

Bench: AB-3000 FID Adjustable Bench ($250) - https://www.repfitness.com/strength-equipment/strength-training/benches/rep-ab3000-fid-adj-bench
Rack: REP PR-1100 Home Gym Power Rack ($239 before add-ons) - https://www.repfitness.com/strength-equipment/power-racks/rep-pr-1100
- $149 for weight storage add on (or $14.99ea for weight horns on current rack)
- $149 for Law and Row attachment
- $50 for dip attachment
Stall Mats ($120 for 3) - farmerssupply
Bumper Plates - I am not 100% sure on this one... I could go w the cheap option for Walmart essentials 260lb set for $320.. but am open to other options
Barbell - I am not sure yet on this one :S
Treadmill - GF wants one of these and I have not looked into it at all
Dumbells - I have no clue on yet either. I'd like a set of rubber 1-75s... I can't find much for pricing on bumper plate DBs. I won't do the bowflex adjustable ones, but the Core Fitness Adjustable DB set does not look as bad
- https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01J8S38LW/ref=as_li_qf_asin_il_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=tolbers06a-20&creative=9325&linkCode=as2&creativeASIN=B01J8S38LW&linkId=82d946404754b094afb1926b0bea29b6

So I am sitting at $1277 with needing a barbell, DBs, treadmill (will get ez bar, hex bar, bar storage, a mirror, and accessories as well).

If you have any alternatives or ideas, I am all open ears. As most stuff is out of stock, I am sure I will be waiting a minute to get stuff :(.

dont buy a whole bunch of dumbbells. get 4 of every weight of olympic (2inch) plates except 10s, get 8 of those. get an olympic barbell and 2 olympic dumbbell handles. squat cage. 2 archon adjustable wall mount lat pull down machines. mount them across the room from eachother so u can do cable cross overs. get an adjustable bench

done. u have everything u need

i think you could do this for less than 1,000$ brand new

if u can find all this used.. oh man

edit: with the money you save get wifey a glute ham machine. thank me later
