You’re too kind. I really appreciate that feedback! I am actually an engineer by trade so it helps me think about and break down some more complex things into more “normal” terminology. I will definitely keep the reviews coming since the channel is here to stay, and I sincerely appreciate the support 🙏🏻
@@Ice_Box_Gymmini split is clutch for those of us who have not fun winters A gym shed sounds great! If I ever move I will definitely be building a detached shed/garage/building to be a gym
Thanks Brandon! Your reviews definitely helped with a few of the purchase decisions over the years. I’m only sorry to you that I had to leave the basement for the dark side 😂
Thank you! It took a lot of time and planning after a few different racks over the years, but still going strong. Next plan is to add some functional trainer stacks in either side at some point in the next year
Ah so you can also appreciate all the nice ice and snow we are having right now! Hopefully your basement is nice and cozy warm, that was the best part about the basement for me. Hope your gym/gym build is going well too, always a fun progression
Thank you! I know there are people from all walks of home gym life/knowledge that might be interested in specific details, so I am glad to hear that I am getting the information across as needed.
Finally! Absolutely sick! Great video and even better home gym. Can't wait to see you and your gym progress. I would like to see a review on that calf machine, leg extension leg curl, and the leg press you have in the basement. Keep up the great work!
I appreciate that! It's always evolving and things are never truly "done" so I am excited to see what it looks like in 6 months, a year, etc. Leg extension/curl and leg press are definitely in the pipeline in the next few months (hopefully). So stay tuned for those.
most of these home gym owners don't even look buff. Look at Coop from Garage gym reviews. Why even have all this stuff just to look like a marathon runner
@dominickd16 interestingly enough a marathon is exactly what I will be competing in this year, so you kind of nailed it. My long term fitness goal is to be able to out sprint my kids when they are 18, even if they are Olympic athletes (this is not a joke). But to your point, it’s a completely fair criticism. I’m a lot of things but large and in charge, I am not. I would say that strength goals can mean different things to different people. If I can deadlift 405 and run a marathon in the same day, then I’m happy with that on a personal level.
@dominickd16 seriously no worries. I totally don’t take it as an offense was just offering my own viewpoint on what I consider strength in my life! I know my own shortcomings and I’m 175LBS soaking wet so not a big guy at all. I grew up a skinny soccer kid who couldn’t do a single push up, although I weighed 235LBS a few years ago from a mega-bulk (not a clean bulk, don’t recommend) and got made fun of for being fat then, even though I was super strong, so I can’t win 😂
Years of trial and error and smaller projects built up to this level of DIY! I have to thank my dad who made me help with working on car and stuff around the house from a young age. On the space topic, its a pretty small room, 12x16 and I have learned you can utilize way less space than you need with some careful though and planning. Thanks again for watching and the support!
Thank you. And yep the gym definitely started from humble beginnings and I didn't just decide to wake up and splash a bunch of cash. The added benefit is I had plenty of time to figure out what I like, wanted, and needed when moving to the built garage gym.
Thanks for the very kind words! There was a lot of planning and ideas floating in my head for a long time and I was happy my engineering brain allowed me to figure them all out and bring it all together. Happy to pass along the inspiration 💪
@@TheJungleGymReviews What are the room dimensions? I tried to count the stall mats but wasn't sure if you had to cut them at all lol . recently ordered a 12x16 shed to be built soon. the Spare bedroom is now my kids bedroom. I'm excited to move my gym tho and start the process.
@rjcrooks1182 this room is literally 12x16 actually! You can do a lot with that room with some planning. Let me know if you ever need some ideas or what I like/don’t like. TLDR - I like darn near all of it except maybe combining the rack and trainer next
Good stuff man, very thorough explanation for each piece and well thought out floor plan. I used Rogue Zeus Gym Builder as a way to plan out my floor plan, you don’t seem like the type to shoot from the hip based on the first couple minutes so how did you plan it out?? People seem to get confused when they see someone’s gym then see that someone. There’s preconceived ideas that you should be Mr. Olympia to have a nice gym but that’s not everyone’s goal. You do you, my guy. And keep making these banger vids!
thanks so much for noticing the well thought out gym! I actually started in the Rogue gym builder too just to get an idea on how my rack and some other similar machines would fit in a space of my specific dimensions. so that was my starting point then honestly just alot of back and forth thoughts and careful measuring from there. How much space did I need for a rack, how much space did I need to be able to put plates and walk around the outside of the bar? How wide of a space do I need for my cable machine and treadmill, etc. just tons of logistical questions that changed bit by bit until I got into the final built of the garage because that by itself was a monster 4 month project to make this gym room in my garage. now it's constantly changing because of equipment reviews too, so always a fun time of machine tetris I also appreciate you being considerate that fitness is different for every individual and thanks for supporting and watching the videos!
Amazing work…even tho you’re a garage gym not a basement like me! You just gained a subscriber! Don’t let the negative comments discourage you..they’re just jealous 😂
Haha I used to be a basement dweller for about 3-4 years so I feel like I belong to both groups! Also I really appreciate the kind words about the video. Thank you so much for joining and the support!
Definitely, and especially with kids I don’t know how people even make time for the gym otherwise, the hobby portion aside. It’s also funny because at the start of Covid I distinctly remember thinking “I can’t wait to get back to my (commercial) gym”. Then two years later, once I had enough equipment to do my normal workouts, I was like holy crap I can just go out here anytime I want, this is amazing!
Thank you! I like it a lot, the ROM is fantastic and one of the best I have seen on any commercial version. The only downsides is the weight stack since it’s 2:1 ration it’s not that heavy and I can max it out for 10-15 reps. I’m “average strength” so big strong people would max it out pretty fast and there is no way to add a gym pin or more weight. Besides that I’m slightly on the taller end to use it at 6ft2 and which I had one more further back pad adjustment and one more on the leg pad length. But for the price I paid
Thank you! As I mentioned I could have made it even smaller with a combined rack and trainer, but wanted to retain the ability to workout with multiple people in parallel. If anything changes I'll definitely post some updates to this video, YT shorts, or Instagram.
It’s really solid. I wouldn’t pay full price but if you can find it used, is definitely a good deal. The resistance curve is even and the ROM is good. The only downside is the stack only goes up to 200LBS with no way to load further, so you have to do higher reps like 10+. I wish the knee brace padding was slightly softer but that is nit picking. I really want to try some of these budget selectorized versions from Bolt or Titan, etc. to compare against it.
Thank you! I think you mean the Gym Pin D handle bar but if I am wrong after looking it up, let me know. I’m happy to help I just can’t think of another one with O rings
Nice gym review! Your rubberized gym flooring looks great! What are your rubber tractor supply mats connected with? Looks like you used some type of heavy duty tape. I also have a question about your mirrors... I can see what appears to be little j-hooks holding the mirrors at their top edge, but what is that long metal bracket holding the mirrors along their bottom edges? Thanks, Tony
Thanks Tony, I appreciate the kind words. My stall mats are just held together with black gorilla tape plus they are snugly fit to the walls too, so they cant really move and haven't over the year and a half they have been there. The gorilla tape works great and I have been using that for years for stall mats with no issue. The mirrors are being held by what's called a J Mold, search part #805204 at Home Depot website. I have two of them size by side holding all the mirrors, very minimal but functional! Highly recommend. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Great setup! Just curious, I'm in the market to purchase an SF3 or Rep Athena with RP-4000 rack, mainly for the functional trainer functions of the Athena. I'm mostly interested in knowing the difference in smoothness between the cable systems. Are the cables smoother on your Inspire SF3 than your Athena lat/low row? Or are the cables smoother on the Athena than the SF3?
Ah yes, this is the exact dilemma I had as well. In theory, a machine made to be a dedicated functional trainer I would expect to be smoother, as is the case with my original FTX and now the SF3. I had a Titan fitness dedicated lat pulldown which was garbage for smoothness compared to either Inspire one I had. However, the REP lat pulldown and low row, (to your point, in theory then any of their weight stack offerings) is actually pretty dang close for smoothness and is definitely comparable, and darn near equivalent. I personally wouldnt hesitate to swap the SF3 for the Athena or Ares after using the lat low row for well over a year now. It’s definitely very smooth and most people probably wouldn’t know the difference in a blind feel test between the Inspire and the Rep selectorized versions. So I would vote to save the floor space, again I just went with separate ones due to always having at least 2 people working out simultaneously, which is no longer the case, so I’ll probably swap to an all in one rack in the next year or so.
Amazing video! You mentioned if you would do it again you would go for an all-in-one 3x3 selectorized functional trainer-lap pull-down and Smith machine-integrated power rack - which brand, please??? I have been researching this piece for way too long 🙈 I also need it for my garage gym 🙏🙏🙏
I definitely need to do more research on my end too. I think what will end up happening is to combine different rack attachment from different companies. For instance, keep my rack with REP lat/low row, but add REP Athena side mount FT, and a Bolt Fitness smith attachment or something to that effect. Otherwise I need to take a long look at all the offerings because I haven't seen a good options for those plus the smith yet that I can remember although I know they exist.
Thank you! Crandall fitness rubber coated tri grip plates. Have had them for years and love that they are coated and have the grip cutouts. Plus I like having something a little different than everyone else’s Rogue, Rep, etc. plates
It’s funny you say that, when I first tried this bench at a friends gym, I thought the exact same thing that it was too hard. Well after years with the AB5000 I developed a pinched nerve (not due to the bench itself) in my shoulder and the softer REP bench pad seemed to be a contributing factor. Now after using the Rogue bench I have come to like the harder pad much better, and helps with my particular issue. I think it’s highly dependent on the individual, but I find the harder and a little bit more narrow pad actually allows my shoulders and scapula and everything to retract more freely during specific movements like benching.
Marketplace, I found a company called Direct Fitness Solutions in Illinois who shipped it to me for about $1000 and it was in great shape. You might be able to see what they currently have for used equipment too and call about shipping pricing.
It’s a Rogue stainless steel straight lat pulldown bar. They have a normal bent and this rotating straight bar version. I’ve owned both and they are quality for sure

Have you had any maintenance trouble with the Horizon 7.0 treadmill? Would you say the Horizon 7.0 treadmill is durable and could last a long time for the sole purpose of jogs and running? Lastly, do you prefer the bike or the treadmill in terms of cardio?
No trouble whatsoever with the horizon. I’ve had it over a year now too and put on quite a few miles. I would ask how many miles do you plan to put on a week? I think the motor and everything is sized appropriately for normal use a few times a week for long term. Especially if you keep up with the bare minimum of belt maintenance. Coincidentally enough I used to have the Assault Runner and that thing was awful as far as maintenance. I needed a new belt after like a month and the technical support was near useless at the time. The frame creaked all the time and for the price wasn’t the best.
I just do what the manual says I think it’s like 100 miles or 3 months you just lubricate the belt and that’s it. It’s pretty minimal maintenance With that mileage per week this should be no problem. Also it’s relatively super cheap in the world of treadmills
@@TheJungleGymReviewsI just got the horizon 7.0 treadmill but I’m having trouble with the static shocks that I get almost every time I touch it while running on it. Do you have any fixes for it or any advice?
@@TheJungleGymReviews I get it if you can afford it and it’s your thing then by all Means. My point is you don’t and never needed anything more than basic equipment for your needs. Unless you are a pro athlete and I stupidly missed that, or you want to compete. I learned after many many years in the gym when Covid hit very basic equipment is all that’s needed. I am advanced in lifting and a basic rack and screw on dumbbells is all I needed to maintain 180-190lbs at 5’6” Btw I run up to 105lbs on my screw on dumbbells and they don’t bother my legs.

I am advanced in lifting and a basic rack and screw on dumbbells is all I needed to maintain 180-190lbs at 5’6” Btw I run up to 105lbs on my screw on dumbbells and they don’t bother my legs.
It's ok at best. Guess it depends on your goals.
When you gonna make an OF?
Not soon enough 😂
