garage gym

REP Fitness has become one of our most recommended strength brands for home gym builds — and for good reason. We explore why the range's dimensional flexibility, modular attachment ecosystem, and commercial-grade construction make it the ideal choice for garden rooms and garage conversions...

Zoning your double garage gym, whatever layout you choose, think in terms of zones rather than random kit placement. In a 5.5–6 m wide double garage, you can comfortably run three primary zones from side to side: Strength zone along one long wall (rack, barbell, bench, plates, dumbbells) or cardio or conditioning lane along the opposite wall (treadmill, rower, SkiErg, bike, Hyrox work) or open functional/wellness strip in the centre or at the rear (plyo work, Pilates, mobility, mat work).

• Over‑equipping too early, leaving too little floor for actual training.
• Under‑investing in the key product or two,  a flimsy rack or poor‑quality cable unit undermines everything you do.
• Ignoring footprint and ceiling; beautiful kit that only fits on paper, not in reality.
• Chasing "trendy"  with speciality pieces used once a month.
