Let me see if I can help this thread.

this is my custom wall mounted pull up and squat rig. It's anchored to the garage floor with concrete studs.

This is my vision fitness tread mill it's pretty close to a globo gym tread mill in terms of quality only smaller in size for home use.

I have some other small things but those are the major items right now. I'll soon have stall mats placed over the concrete and plan on buying bumper weights, a nice barbell and some other conditioning stuff in the near future.

Great thread, im about to start turning my backyard and shed into a training and fitness area so im anxious to see what home setups and homemade (pullup/squat bar) people have. Tired of having to trek to the gym all the time.

no picture at the moment...
I do however have a full rack and a movable bench. Olympic weight set with about 450 pounds

Couple of dumbells with interchangeable weights and a treadmill.
Definitely worth it if you are thinking about investing in a home gym,saves money in the long run and no excuse to miss a workout lol I just stick to basic core lifts and run from time to time. Does its job

Functional Trainer in the corner adjusts in and out and up and down, you can replicate pretty much any cable exericise.

"Bob" in the corner and a jump rope are great cardio on rainy days, otherwise I'll ride outside or run.

Powerblock Dumbells gives a convenient and space saving way to house 5-120lb dumbbells

A full commercial grade cage and your set with everything you need IMO. With an adjustable bench you can replicate any number of barbell stations you'll find in a gym
