Looking at putting in a small home gym. suggestions ?
Question
Looking at putting in a small home gym. All we are wanting to start with is a squat rack and other basics so we can do bench, squat, row, military press, dead lift at home. Does anyone have suggestions for good set ups or the best brands to start looking at ?

Strongly suggest Craigslist. It took me a few years but I now have over 30 pieces of commercial equipment (Hammer strength, cybex, life fitness, ivanko dumbbells, precor etc). Nothing over $300 an item. Takes time but there are steady listings of gyms closing, moving sales, and you can build a commercial grade gym for a fraction of the price. Good luck with the project!

I scoured Craigslist and FB marketplace for a couple months but it paid off. I got most of what I needed (what you mentioned above) for 600ish dollars, in excellent shape. There are always people looking to sell “sets” so keep an eye out and be patient. Good luck!
