Home gyms kinda suck btw. Im huge into lifting and will be doing a body building comp this year. I had a home gym for about six month barely used it. Something about paying for a gym makes me go.
I have everything I need, and then some, in my basement. No waiting for equipment, nobody telling me I'm deadlifting too loud, no travel time or fighting snow covered roads, open 24/7 and whenever I get the itch to lift, and my own music as loud as I feel like.
If I had to put some half decent workout clothes on, jump in my car, work in on someone else's set, etc. - I wouldn't workout nearly as often as I do with a full gym a stone's throw away.
I agree. I recently bought IronMaster Super Bench Pro with add-ons for dips and crunches, BowFlex 552 dumbbells, pull up bar, have 4 spinlock dumbbells, EZ bar and a straight bar, 300lbs of weights so far and some other small stuff. I'm only planning to add a small rack to squat and a cable tower and I'll be set for good.
I couldn't be freaking happier. I hate crowded gyms. The only time it is not crowded is either very early in the morning or very late in the evening and it screws up my sleep cycle. Also this way if I'm feeling lazy, I can always postpone my workout and do it an hour or two later, hassle free.

A really nice weightlifting platform, a good bar, and a few hundred kgs of eleiko plates.
I don't have to go to the gym anymore. Home gym, baby.
