My Home Gym self build project final pt 38 THE END!!!

The finished Gym!!

You too can build your own home gym at the bottom of your garden. I was fed-up with exercising in my old, freezing, damp, insect infested garage. So i bit the bullet and decided to get rid of it and have a home gym built in it’s place.

I’m a complete novice in the building game. My achievements or skills before taking on this task – out of sheer desperation – was that i had done the odd bit of DIY in the past, like putting up a shelf, or hanging a picture. All the skills i picked up throughout this journey were mainly thanks to being let down by builders, a little belief, a touch of determination and a shed load of desperation, but most of all, from watching YouTube clips like this journey which I’ve catalogued.

Sure i made many mistakes along the way, the build isn’t perfect and yeah, if i had my time again there’s many things i’d do differently along the way, but my mantra in life which helps me through anything i wish to achieve is to always say to yourself when, not if and you’ll find that you can achieve things way beyond yours, or anyone else’s expectations. 🙂

Thanks Ray, seems like I'm going to have to repeat the whole process though. We have just sold our house and have made an offer on a much larger property with a huge garden. Not really looking forward to the hard graft, but at least this time I can use my newly found skills and lessons learnt to custom design and build a much bigger gym complete with hot tub and other facilities.

Watched all the videos. Brilliant achievement, well done.

Jordi, I seriously had no idea before I built it. All you need to do is spend a bit of time figuring out each stage. 99% of what I did I learnt through watching various you tube clips on how to. No excuse mate. Trust me.

Thx man. Just watched your room/gym tour. Looks mad. You've got some serious kit there!

About £9000, but the bifold doors were a big part of that cost at £3000
