Bit of before and after malarkey. I’ve got my exercise equipment set up in my garage and I got tired of working out in a gloomy, cobweb-infested cave, so decided to give it a face-lift.
I’ve fitted a material ceiling and will see long-term how that works out with regards to insects/dust but it gives it a fresh, airy look for now. If when I am doing pulls up I come back down with a face full of arachnids then I will fit a proper ceiling.
Hanging/floating chair in place so that me or the missus have a nice quiet place to come and read/nap/avoid kids.
Strip lighting in various places for when I’m working out at night/evening as the current one bulb is not up to the task of illuminating the whole room.
Picture is there so that while doing curls I can escape in my mind to a sunny place and imagine myself diving off the deck into the cool, fresh water (5 Euro in the reduced section of Aldi’s shit aisle). Took me a couple of weeks just doing the odd hour here or there, see what you think to the results … (apologies for quality of pics, I have a pauper’s phone).
Nice man cave!

Thanks! I was in it twice today – exercising and then just relaxing and reading, it’s everything I wanted to achieve 🙂

Very, very nice. The Squire had some exercise equipment, but it turned into a very expensive clothes rack. You won’t have that problem here, so no excuses.

I think having exercise equipment at your home only works if you already have a workout regime in place. What mean by that is that I was already a gym member before I started working out at home – because of the kids – and I think this is where many people go wrong. If you buy something to exercise with at home it’s so easy to just neglect it and let it gather dust/collect clothes, however if you are already used to exercising several times a week then the switch is much more natural as you already have the routine embedded.

I threatened to connect it to the TV! Somebody posted of Freecycle that they wanted something similar, and we got rid of it. Now, it’s some other wife’s problem.
