I was recently inspired by Homemade Modern’s home workout equipment builds to build my own Gym equipment and this is the first of several projects I have planned. After changing my eating habit I have lost 30 pounds in the last month and am excited to add a regular workout routine to my weight loss efforts. This Homemade Gym that fits in a cabinet is a good start.

What? Lifting plywood is not enough? I just built a pullup bar for a gym but I haven't been able to do a pull up for many years! I love those small, square head screws.
jeez this is the kind of father i wish i could have.. mines a corporate lawyer and has never ever built anything with me
Ya know, great idea but I wonder if it is good idea to add thin but dense mat on bottom where it lands in case it was let go?
Izzy's neighbor doesn't own sleeves, either!
Руки не крюки!
You are such a tease !!!
Nice haircut!
Very cool, Izzy. You know, you are one quartz movement away from having a neat little grandfather clock! I hope one of your additions will be a bolt-on pulley that will allow you to use this for curls. Also, it doesn't look like you're dealing with much friction, but you could always use FastCap FastEdge tape as a linear bearing on your vertical surfaces to keep things running smoothly if friction and wear are ever a problem.

Brilliant! Not having room for a home gym is my biggest excuse at the moment, but that certainly solves that problem…
try garage door pulleys
why dont you just biscuit join the 3 panel pieces and putty over the screw holes. Save some cash on a new panel
exellent idea! thank you!
Hey Izzy, I noticed your table saw mitre slots are a bit like t slots – they have slight overhangs at the top of the slot on either side. How do you make runners for those when you're making jigs? I have that on my saw and I'm not sure how to create something that will work for me. cheers!
Oh no! Am I too late?
Quinn in the workshop? And helping? No wonder our weather is so messed up lately! When I saw Dave helping you keep the cabinet in place I thought, "Where's Quinn disappeared to? Why do you need to get a neighbour to help with this when you have kids that can assist?" But anway, great build as always.
So Umm I notice that this video came out on Monday, however Monday is nearly nationally recognized as chest day, but this is a specifically back+ bicep machine… Explain? Lets be real hear, you probably attach your car to the other end.
I was so hoping this would be a guillotine. 🙂
Great idea & build. I like the way you made the tray/box allowing damn near anything that'll fit useful.
what home depot paint mistake thing are u talking about?
Izzy's gonna get ripped and become IZZILLA!!!!!!!!!!!!! or SWANADO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Need to add a counter to it that after every 100 pulls on the cable it releases a cold beer Lol. Good stuff Izzy.
Not even slightly interested in exercise cabinet….. I just like watching Izzy work. This guy has an imagination that just won't quit.
cool build…I'm curious how it will stand up when you start adding weight
Hi Izzy – looking forward to the rowing machine! Thanks for all the videos!
