everything is really nice except that raw edge of leather around the box. id trim it out with something..it annoyed the shit out of me like it wasn't finished..
matanuska high It would have made more sense to upholster a separate piece of plywood (tucking under the edges), and attach it to the box with screws. The unfinished edge doesn't bother me as much as I'm not sure that upholstery job is going to hold up.
Gym in a box, freaking love it. That also reminds me that I should be using dumbbell presses when I can. I got a rack but it doesn't hold enough weight to challenge me at all.
Amazing project. Multiple purpose furniture is my favorite. I'll be in the process of moving into a new space soon and this will be great for me and my little brother. Please consider making more projects like this.
The pullup/dip bracket is genius...have you even looked into creating/installing DIY Stall Bars along that wall? Would be great for other strength and mobility training.
I like how you discuss the problems you experienced along the way in several of your videos - keeping it real and acknowledging things need to be learned. I would like to know where you got the white pull-up bar (or whether it is that you painted it from the one you made in another one of your videos? It just seems not as obvious in your apartment )
Very cool and practical for someone with limited space. I watched your Ted Talk so I understand your free design philosophy a lot better now, but I am curious what you do with all of your builds after you complete them? Do you keep them, give them away, store them somewhere in your condo? Cheers.
I don't get the thumbs down on his videos. What is wrong with people now days. I guess they just want to thumb down a video because they don't like seeing all those likes on a video and get jealous and need to thumbs down a video. This build was awesome and I wish I could have this in my house.
Just FYI, painters tape (or any tape for that matter) never stretches in a straight line. Always check to see if it's straight as you apply. Cool project.
Where is the link to the page with all the measurements? I’ve looked elsewhere and you said it would be on it website on this video but could not find it anywhere.
how do you usually begin with a project? you draw exactly what you want or as you go, you figure things out? before uploading these videos, do you do prototypes...?
Well done! The extra fast forward darn near gave me a seizure though... Really digging the leather, copper and rivets you have been incorporating into things more so lately.
Can you please tell me about that pull-up/dip station that you have?
I'm just here to critique form.
Kevin Hubert ikr
haha
mike hawk Gotta confuse the spine, right babe?
I never fail to be impressed by your designs, Ben. This gym in a box is great.

matanuska high hahahaha same. I scrolled down to find this comment
matanuska high totally agree, and the paint at the bottom coulda been a little straighter on the one side.
Agreed.

was about to comment the same thing ^^

really digging the homemade gyms builds thanks for the insperation man

What is that pull up/dips wall mounted contraption? It looks cool.
Love the look, it's like a tiramisu workout center!

"...while the Internet is critiquing my form..." haha that's great!
your projects are always unique and I like the functionality also. great ideas!!
...This one is a marvellous preliminary work you have done.
Very cool . Are there any plans for this ? I couldn’t find it on your website
Cheers
This is one of the coolest things I've seen, modern simplistic gym
I can't handle so much cleverness

This whole thing was pure genius!
When are the instructions coming out?
I can't wait to build this.😁
Wow!
That's amazing! This is why I like watching these DIY videos
I love the shit out of how everything flows well together.
I’m diggin these home gym plans
one of the best and most useful videos I've seen on RUclips. thanks, I'll definitely be using this idea some day
The War of Art is such a good book!
Thank you. I like this project. I plan to make a Gym in a Box for myself. I especially like that the equipment is hidden from view.
awesome video and the work out at the end was great fun to watch too. if I ever own a home I'm definitely building these.
Perfect mix of form and function, I really dig this!
That's a cool idea, I might look at making one as I live in a small space and just want something to organise and hide my equipment
Wow . You got some skills. Great job .
I would love to see Bed make a bed with storages/drawers. I need a plan for a nice , simple, moveable one!
would love to see your version of a power rack. love your builds.
Iv'e been wanting to make some bench seating for the dinning table, this will be ideal i might even use it as a gym but probably not!
4:03 "and while the internet is critiquing my form". You said as I was watching intently at the screen to assess your form.
I am from Brazil.
Loved it! I already liked the device and now the complement. Very good!
dude that is so cool! i am so stealing the grommet/screw idea for the leather. nice vid.
Awesome concept and build! I have really enjoyed your new podcast as well.
will you ever upload the specs for this to your website
Nicely done Ben.
very creative idea!! I'm not sure leather is the best choice for a bench, just may not be as easy to clean, if you sweat during your workout.
Your form looks good while driving in those screws.
Dude good idea listening to audiobooks while you workout.
Hi! I have watched the video dozens of times. Do you have the measurements anywhere I can find them?
When you get big enough, you can just install some handles and lift the whole thing
nice work! have you considered doing a bike rack storage project? it would be cool to see a space saving vertical indoor bike rack
You are so creative!

That is a really neat DYI that anyone can do. Quite crafty good job. Subbed.
This is genius. What a great design for the home gym. What's the max weight that the box can hold?
That is totaly awesome!!! You are almost my new hero, thanks
Aweeeesomeee! I just became a carpenter and an engineer just by watching this 5 mins vid :D
I don't get the thumbs down on his videos. What is wrong with people now days. I guess they just want to thumb down a video because they don't like seeing all those likes on a video and get jealous and need to thumbs down a video. This build was awesome and I wish I could have this in my house.
This is something you'll see in Tiny House Hunters. Love that show.
This guy is going places
Maybe you can build a rower with the same structure for your pull ups.
That or a pulley for weights like the cable machines 👌🏻
These fitness projects are great. I have made a few for myself. Keep it up. Love the new podcast by the way.
Great job now time for some work out!!!
Really great project for clutter free life.
Just FYI, painters tape (or any tape for that matter) never stretches in a straight line. Always check to see if it's straight as you apply. Cool project.
Those were some cute stop-motion sequences haha! :P
Very nice! What the pull up contraption on the wall? DIY or store bought kit? Where can I get one?
now that one is perfect. good job man
minimalistic - brilliant - PERFECT...
Hi,
I can't seem to find the plans on your site, are they still coming out?
If not can you give me all the precise lengths?
Thx
Super inspiring project!!!
that pullup bar es cool!
Where is the link to the page with all the measurements? I’ve looked elsewhere and you said it would be on it website on this video but could not find it anywhere.
I need to make something like this
Good one Ben!
What a great idea man!!
how do you usually begin with a project? you draw exactly what you want or as you go, you figure things out? before uploading these videos, do you do prototypes...?
Awesome DIY project man!
Great idea, well done!
Great project
Very creative! Love it...
nice work i love what you do
Wow I like that a lot 💪🏼 great job
My man definitely listens to the Joe Rogan experience with all his onnit, kettle bell, and war of art talk. Cool idea keep up the great work
Where can I get the full instructions? Tried your website but without a search function, can't seem to find them. Thanks!

Clever idea.
nice work man. what you use for filming?
awesome work!
Nice setup 👍🏽💪🏽
Did you also make that pull-up/dip/ feet buddy holder on the wall you were using at the end!?
Yes! This is so practical, love it.
Well done! The extra fast forward darn near gave me a seizure though...
Really digging the leather, copper and rivets you have been incorporating into things more so lately.
i really like this video alot
Awesome job! Love the concept and the simplicity ! Where did you purchase the adjustable rack system?
