Gym Mirror Install - My Experience with The Mirror Company

- Опубликовано: 13 сен 2024
- Finally bit the bullet and got some mirrors in my gym. I went with the Mirror Company mostly b/c they popped up first on Google and my buddy Travis had used them previously. This is not a sponsored video and I paid for this out of pocket, just wanted to share my experience.

Curls in front of a mirror, gym bros stamp of approval
Only real use case that matters.
Yep
And if not curls, it'd better be lateral raises
Looks awesome man. Impressive how you are still continuously improving your space.
Keepin at it till the wife makes me stop :)
Hey Brandon thanks for this video. I came across this over the summer and got it done within 4 weeks of emailing them. The pricing was half the cost of what my local shops did and I’m glad I got it professionally done.
I got 3 mirros for 1700$. 2 in my gym and 1 mirror cut into 3 for two baths and a hallway. So thank you!
Glad to hear it worked out!
Thank you Brandon, I chose this company to install my mirrors for my home gym and love them. Thanks again for the advice
Glad to hear it went well!
$449 to actively witness your EPIC GAINS in your home gym....ABSOLUTELY PRICELESS
lol, still working on the gains part.
that's actually ALOT cheaper than most mirrors online, and you'd have to install yourself anyway. I just paid over $1,000 for two 48"x60" mirrors from amazon and will definitely be sending them back and going this route. Thanks!
No problem!
And finally you have a REAL basement gym! 😆
Will get there one day.
@@BasementBrandon 🤣🤣🤣
Looks great, with a nice clean install! Like you, I never gave a mirror much priority and it sits at the back of the rack, behind banners!
Happy wife, happy life!
Shinny new mirrors to see that shinny head. Makes the space look bigger.
Def does
I like the placement, makes the space look bigger. I am thinking of adding something similar for behind my Monster rack, to monitor form during squats.
I'd be a bit careful as watching yourself squat may do more harm than good in my experience.
Bumpity bump! Lets get some more views going here!!! 👊
Thanks my man
As a former powerlifter who hated facing the mirror turned bro, you know the mirror is now the most important part of your gym! 😂
I know what I look like already!
Looks great.
I got two closet door mirror that were going to be thrown out and framed them in to my wall. Used 2x2 and 1x3 to create the frame. Cost me about $50. Mirrors were free.
Can't beat that.
Reminds me of a Carly Simon song.... Just kidding. Looks great and a plus for any gym. You have one of the nicest, most complete home gyms I've seen. By the way your reviews are spot on! Helped me make several purchases. Thank You!
Appreciate it!
It looks good! Like you said, placement is so important, especially if you record videos in the gym.
Just helps tie it together!
The gym looks great and the mirror is a nice addition!
Thanks my dude.
Review on the treadmill when? My wife wants one as well!
Not sure, but I haven't really used it, which might be the only review you need lol.
Pro tip. Get one of those window tint squeegees that look like a handle and chunk or rubber on Amazon for $10. They clean mirror like no other in seconds and no lint or wiping.
I thought thats what my wife was for! Kidding! But luckily she doesn't watch my videos.
Damn, clean that mirror! Looks nice, but that's way too expensive for something that would have been a very easy install
If you factor in sourcing the materials and tools, doing the install to spec, etc, it was actually cheap compared to how I value my time!
@@BasementBrandon I don't know, but I can understand your view also. I just know I was able to hang twice as much as a couple hours and it cost me about $400. It's still nice, I just think it's a bit much for a mirror. I understand why it cost more and why that seems like a good deal to you...but it's just pricey for something that's easy and a lot of home gym owners could do themselves for a lot less
Wow, thanks for showing us how a mirror works.
I do like the Rocky 3 "There is No Tomorrow" though, that's nice.
I like your gym, it's very nice. Take care
Lol not so much how it works, just the experience of ordering online and installing :)
"There is no tomorrow!!" Man I love that scene!! Where did you get that banner?
As soon as I saw the sign I heard Apollo’s voice.
I made it through a site called uprinting
Are you planning to do a review on the assault runner? Ive been curious about that.
TBH I haven't found myself wanting to use it much, which may be the most telling review I can give lol. Maybe after my next meet I'll try to prioritize use more.
Mark Rippetoe would be very proud of your squatting technique.
Lol
Maaaan your gym is so SICK!!!!
Thanks man!
Cannot argue with the value of Time! I will ck them out.... on another note, what GHD is that? Couldn’t quite tell...
It's from Sorinex
That’s a really good price!
I was quoted a little less than that for one mirror not installed, or delivered from a local place near me. Cali prices 🤦🏽♂️🤣
Looks like a 4x8 mirror from Home Depot goes for around $250, so I'm cool with this price delivered/installed.
He's a vlogger now with the gimbal!
Only took me 2 years to use it.
Very legit gym!! Well done
Thanks Paul!
Mirror looks great!
Thanks brother
Great video and the mirror looks great. I'm considering using them - the only issue is they have restrictions around cutout locations (ex. for outlets) which local glass companies may not have problems with. In terms of professional installers I think (from my limited experience) the Mirror Company is cheaper than a local glass company but I could very well be wrong there.
IIRC they may charge more for cut outs
At what point in the process did you actually pay the company? Was it at the time you ordered (so 6-8 weeks prior to install), once you had a firm appointment date, or once the mirror was actually installed? Very curious to know. Thanx.
In my case it was after the installation. They just had one of those swipe things that attach to a phone and they took my credit card.
Finally! It looks legit now
Lol now I can be reminded of how small I am.
Would have ordered from this company but the minimum order size is 6 mirrors at $449 a piece
Only have to buy one like I did.
In April 2017, the same mirror from The Mirror Company cost me $368.30
Yeah I think even last year summer when I first looked into it, it was $400 even.
I reached out for a quote from these guys about a month ago. I’ll probably end up going with them as the price is actually pretty cheap compared to other companies in my area.
Right on!
@@BasementBrandon I went ahead and ordered with them this morning.
@@RyanMillerFit Right on man, hope all is well, long time no talk!
Amazing video 📸
Thanks!
Looks good
Thanks man
Do a review on your ghd
I could prob do that.
Mirror looks great! Is it tempered glass (breaks safely into a cobweb and stays together, instead of shattering all over the floor)? I grew up working at my dad's window factory. ;-)
I'm not sure TBH!
@@BasementBrandon Too late now, but something to consider in the future if you ever buy more. Keeps you and your family safe in case anything hits the mirror and it shatters.
What's going on Brotha, if you dont mind me asking how old are you and what is your current 1 rep max in the big 3.? Seems like your getting stronger with age
I'm about to be 45 and haven't lifted in a few years but went to the gym yesterday and matched my 1 rep max on the deadlift.
I've been working in landscaping the last few years and it's helped with my flexibility and conditioning.
I'm 41, my last meet in May I squatted 606, benched 325, and deadlifted 628.
If you had to, you could move that white boxing pad in front of the mirror and it would block the view of yourself
Def could.
That's a clean mirror, but can you see why kids love the taste of cinnamon toast crunch?
I know what you meme.
Shouldn't have watched this next to my wife. She reminded me that she wants a mirror. Probably just pick up a cheap one and DYI but I understand not wanting to do it yourself. When free time is limited doing chores isn't what a lot of people would want to do.
Sorry about that :)
Looks great, but I’d be worried about carrying big items up and down the stairs and cracking that bad boy.
I bring all the big pieces through the bulk head which is on the other side of the basement.
@@BasementBrandon noice, then you are all good
if you could have the mirror in thirds would that be preferable? is the seam down the middle distracting when you're standing the center?
I'd rather have less and larger pieces. Less seams.
Did they glue this? Or is it simply screwed in?
Screwed in the rails, then glued the back of the mirror.
Time to start a sticker collection on the mirror
That's what the plyo box is for!
@@BasementBrandon if you don’t have a TheNoWhineCellar sticker do you even have a sticker collection 😉
Hey any thoughts on MIRAFIT equipment? Specifically their SSB 2? They used MIRAFIT comp plates at the latest 505kg deadlift attempt.
I don’t think they sell products in the States.
Exactly 😀
Not familiar with them TBH
Awesome addition. Keep those feet covered!
Got to let em breathe!
Is it a glass mirror? I was looking at getting a mirror for my garage gym but I was looking at a polished metal one to avoid breakage
TBH I have no idea
@@BasementBrandon thanks for the reply Brandon, can’t remember how I stumbled across the polished metal mirror but it made a lot of sense to me
Brandon low key testing the interest for feet only site…
:)
"Make updates on occassion" 🤣🤣🤣
;)
$450 seems absurd to me for a mirror
The mirror itself is only part of it, you're also paying to have it professionally installed/delivered/cut.
I am interested in gym video
Right on
Glacier bay gang!
ayyy
Any ideas for an unbreakable mirror solution?
Metal?
Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the most yoked and folliculary challenged of them all .
It said Jonny Sins.
I learn something new everyday. Learning of Jonny sins existence is one hell of a lesson.
Some mirrors are deceiving. can make you look good or make you look bad.
Like in a fun house lol
You know you're a powerlifter when you have a 60 grand gym, and then you get a mirror.
Priorities!
Looks good!
However I think being barefoot has opened yourself up a slew of strange requests from the dark corners of the internet - or is that how you’re planning to fund more gear? 😂
EDIT: I made this comment before the video has finished, great minds think alike haha
Haha I'm too old, the foot field is a young man's game.
There is no tomorrow. Set up the only fans for feet pics TODAY.
True that my friend.
algorithm
my dude
I would love to contact the company and ask how many sex dungeons they’ve outfitted
I must know
Well you can count mine as at least one :)
