Home gym equipment

Reps fitness isn't bad but honestly I would go rogue rml or elitefts garage line. The rml from rogue would be best as it allows you to add the accessories one at a time and rogue has a ton. If it wasn't for the accessories or future expansion ability I would say go with the one you linked.

For bar, get a rogue boneyard bar.

Get a flat to 90 bench if in the budget if not the rep fitness bench is fine.

For weights, you could get horse stall mats and use steel and just get used. Weights are what you can go cheap on at first.

This is all assuming you can make it fit you budget. Also buy once cry once and think about future expansion.

To each his own. I can understand you wanting to stay within budget but in my experience Rogue is your best bang for your buck.

A good friend of mine owns a CF gym and bought a brand new rogue rack, after a few months there was some paint chipping (mostly from people taping the bars to do pull-ups during the open) the dude called up Rogue and told them about the issue, and they sent him a new rack for free. No questions asked. You can’t beat that.

Yeah I’m starting to change my mind I’ll spend more money if it’s that much better.

What's that squat rack that folds into your wall or whatever

I went with a rack from Titan and have been happy with it. Another thing to think about are all of the accessories that go with the rack. I don’t believe Titan’s attachments fit on the racks from Rogue.

I spent more on the core stuff I know I'm putting wear and tear on and went cheaper on accessories. I bought only used plates and horse stall mats to save there.

I'll go to bat for Rogue too. Their customer service is great and they have high quality. The only quality issue I ever had with them is buying Slingshot Gangsta wraps that tore day 1. Rogue immediately sent me a free new pair and let me keep the torn ones. I've bought kettlebells, bar, etc. through Rogue and those have been rock solid.

I think it's worth it to invest extra in the major stuff and getting high quality there. Having a solid piece that will last forever is a big deal.

Rack and bar should be the core of things and I'd get best quality there. The rest...fit to budget more.

I got everything you said, I got the RML 490c the boneyard bar and bench. Thanks for the suggestions.

What kind of accessories for the RML do you recommend.

How important or valuable is a GHD for a home gym?

I have one and honestly it's a luxury item only.
