Racks, cable machines, platforms, flooring and storage
Home Gym
Everything that turns a spare room, basement, apartment corner or garage into a place you can train hard and safely: a rack you trust, cables for the work free weights cannot do, a floor that survives dropped weight, and storage that keeps it all usable.
Whatever the room, the questions are the same — how much space and ceiling height you have, what the floor can take, and which pieces earn their footprint.
