We took a bedroom in our basement and made it into our home gym.

You get that much natural light...in your basement?

The placement of your TV is fantastic! I also like watching TV while running.

Yes, we get lots of light in the basement simply because of how the house faces.

Awesome setup. I hope to do almost exactly the same equipment. Schwinn IC4? How do you like it?

Carpet! Wow, what a change from the norm

And your basement is looking at a hedge through a full wall height window... how? This is literally NOT a basement.

The house might sit on a hill though

You can do much with the setup, but if you claim ‘everything i need’ i would argue a pullup bar is missing. ‘Everything you want’, fits better here :)

The topography of our lot makes it so this side of our home has a walk out basement. The huge windows are a plus.

We like the IC4 . We changed the seat and put our own SPD pedals. The resistance is smooth.

To be fair, I have wanted a pull up bar. Need to fit that in.

We needed a carpet in that room. Without the carpet, the room sounded hollow and echoed.

Cardio takes up the most space, if I were me I would just leave one

Nice start honestly...Its easy to keep buying stuff, but using the setup for a few weeks usually tells u what you really need.

looks super clean and cozy for now but give it 2 or 3 months of browsing this sub and you will definitely start eyeballing a folding squat rack a barbell and 500 lbs of bumper plates to fill up that open floor space on the right wall it always starts out as just 1 treadmill and 1 dumbbell set until the homegym bug hits you in full force enjoy the private space man

Nice natural light

Sweet! Just need a pull up bar or a D-ring bolted to the wall for resistance bands to work out your back.

This is a wonderful space. The light. Will you change the flooring ?
abusivepach_7·Jul 13, 3:12 AM
No change with the flooring. We went with the squares so we could replace as needed. We like the feel of the carpet.

Squat rack?
