High-demand equipment was sold out. So Runandliftlots (who, as with the other three Redditors interviewed, preferred to omit their real name for privacy reasons) decided to build their own squat rack, using a design composite from several guides online.
Redditor Jlfmb spent a little under $3, 000 on this home gym setup in San Francisco. The equipment, all ordered in March, took some time to arrive due to the sudden high demand for fitness gear as pandemic lockdowns began.

"Once I realized that even if things were to open up again I'd still not feel safe going to a gym, I just quickly started buying stuff, " the owner said, noting that they were lucky enough to be able to afford it, with a job in the tech sector relatively unaffected by the pandemic.
Redditor Coinsarge spent about a month hunting for deals on equipment online from sites like Craigslist, eBay and Amazon to put together this home gym in San Francisco.
They spent about $2000 on purchases, but in the process sold about $500 worth of their own old equipment, for a net cost of $1500. This is common strategy for home gym enthusiasts on Reddit to swap out or upgrade equipment overtime.
How To Build A Budget Home Gym In Your Backyard
Some fitness enthusiasts, though, go above and beyond when it comes to their home workout setup. Redditor TortieMVH's gym has been 20 years in the making, starting with a few pieces of used equipment in the garage when their local gym closed.
From there, they kept adding equipment and moved a few years ago to a bigger home, where they were able to allocate a whole room to the home.
It's also a gym for the whole family, since the owner said their parents and siblings live nearby and use the space for workouts too.A messy backyard shed gets an inexpensive DIY transformation into an at home gym shed using secondhand workout equipment and small storage solutions.

Robert, Mr. Marine Corps over here, is more likely to do the shredding. But I might get into some weight lifting myself now since this gym shed makes me feel so inspired!!!
We managed this pool shed repurposing makeover on a super tight budget over the course if 2 weeks repurposing lumber, mixing cans of old paint, and replacing the walls with cheap faux brick panels.
Over the past 10 years, Robert has collected lots of gym equipment from Facebook Marketplace and secondhand sports stores; all of which he used in our dirty, grungy garage before we had this shed idea.

I added in some organizing items and a few necessities from Better Homes & Gardens at Walmart, and now it feels like a tiny little health spa in our backyard!
We definitely needed some shelves for all of the smaller items in our gym like resistance bands and jump ropes, so this shelf with metal hooks worked perfectly.
This industrial pipe shelf was the perfect fit for small items like our Bluetooth speaker, yoga blocks, an atomic clock, and foam roller for muscle recovery.

Beside the door, I used this 3-cube shelf for holding a few hand weights, this wire basket for storing gym towels, and a mini fridge for keeping water bottles cold.
(I gave the framed Theodore Roosevelt quote to Robert for his birthday last year. It fits right in that corner for a dose of motivation.)
For the floor, Robert found these heavy duty rubber gym mats secondhand from Facebook Marketplace that were still in great condition. You can get them as horse stall mats from your local farm supply store too.

We hung up two of these huge black framed mirrors so we can check our form. I looked everywhere for mirrors this big and these Walmart ones were 3 times cheaper than anywhere else I could find them!
Okay, this might be my favorite feature of the entire room. We had this ledge running all around the top of our faux brick walls, and we thought it would be a cool feature to place these color changing LED strip lights!
The light strips even have pre-programmed light shows. They make those dark 5 a.m. workouts more fun, that’s for sure. Perfect for cranking the music and having a blast.

We added in an industrial style fan with lights and retractable blades too so we can have a breeze. Later, if we feel we need one when summer comes back around, we might add a wall a/c unit.
This cardio bike is the only new piece of gym equipment we just got, so I’ll share more about it as I get used to it. I love that we put it right at the window so I can look out into the backyard pool area as I ride.
We’ll likely add a chalkboard where he can jot down workout circuits and goals. He has a Bachelor’s in Exercise Science, so now he can really put it to use in here.

These are all of the extra items we used in here from Better Homes & Gardens at Walmart to complete the gym shed.
We already owned most of the other sources in here, but I’ll put together a blog post later with ways to build up to your own home gym as your budget allows over time.
Robert’s exercise background isn’t something we’ve ever really shared before, but it’s something he’s so knowledgable about that maybe it could help someone else needing a budget-focused home gym resource.

It’s hard to believe what the shed looked like just 2 weeks ago, right? I can’t get over how massive this change was.
Now I guess with all of the pool shed stuff shoved into the garage, a garage makeover is on the list for 2022. 😉
