Message: [QUOTE="Austin316, post: 3315322, member: 8091"] Curious to hear if any yarders are into working out at home... Ive been exercising for about 10-12 years. I started at PF, moved to LAF, the Edge, then tried Crossfit for a while, now back to PF and I’m miserable (had to save$). Fell in love with Crossfit but the prices and open hours are a joke, so I left. Also the “team” mentality and “coaching” just wasn’t for me, but I learned a lot. Because I have a dog and soon to be dad I’m trying to save money in the long term by taking second hand equipment and purchasing the essentials for my unfinished basement. Got a second hand piece of equipment from family for pull downs and seated row also purchased some cheap rubber mats. Now I’m looking at a buying a dual-use bench/squat rack, adjustable dumbell weights, a barbell, and rubber bumper weights totaling 200-250 lbs. I can pick get some of this off amazon totaling $500-$750 for brands I’ve never heard of but have good consumer ratings. I’m Not trying to turn into a buff bagwell, just want to stay in shape and invest about 5+ hrs/week to fitness like I used to on my own schedule, save gas and time at home. Did anyone here build a home gym before? Did you try amazon for anything? Are there any local places around CT that sell cheap second hand equipment? Any brands to stray away from? thanks! [/QUOTE]
