I finally got fed up with going to my overcrowded gym that only had one squat rack and decided to join the home gym club. This room was previously a home theatre room but we weren’t watching much TV in there anyways. I figured a home gym would be a better use of the room and our time. I had considered a garage gym but didn’t want to lose our covered parking spots or deal with extreme temperatures. The room was completely open on one side so the first thing I did was build sliding barn doors to cover it up and keep the kids out. This was my first ever woodworking project so I’m pretty proud of myself! I laid down the stall mats directly over the existing carpet. They felt a little springy when I first put them down but two weeks later, they now feel much firmer. I taped them together with gorilla tape but it isn’t staying down quite as well as I’d hoped (if anyone has any other suggestions for keeping stall mats in place, please let me know). All in all, am loving my decision. I spent a little over $2K but that will pay for itself in about 4 years now that I have cancelled the gym membership. I plan on working out much longer than that anyways!
Rep Fitness Home Gym Package Comes with rack, bench, barbell, bumper plates, dip bars and rings. This thing is solid and doesn’t take up a lot of space. I also got the adjustable bench upgrade and extra bumper plates. Bumper plates: 8x45, 2x25, 2x10. Change plates 2x 5, 2x 2.5. I had them swap out the 35 lb plates that came with the package for 45s. Total olympic weight: 445 lbs (490 lbs with 45 lb barbell) Total price $1450
200 lb adjustable dumbbell set. $173
15 lb aluminum training barbell (for my wife) $119
Rowing Machine (Goes for $300, purchased for $150 on Craigslist)
5 horse stall mats from Tractor Supply Company, $200
The resistance bands set is from Bodylastics and was purchased years ago for around $50 I think.
For the barn doors, I bought a track kit for $135 on Amazon and the lumber, screws and stain was around $150.
I use bumpers in my home gym and transitioned from a standard, 7ft Olympic bar to a 15 lb "training bar" that's 6 ft a few months ago. I started doing 5/3/1 and some of my warm-up weights were lower than 45 lb, necessitating a lighter bar.
I've really liked moving to the 6' bar. Deadlifts feel about the same, but my squat & bench balance feels so much better! I'm 5'6", for reference.
With the one I bought (link below), my plates from the standard Olympic fit just fine, too.
That being said, I don't think you'd hurting anything with a 7ft - it seems to me to be a personal preference & what fits your plates. You might try a free day pass to a local gym that has both and see which you like better?
I bought this bar: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00R93GJ74/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1
And use these plates (would love a set of Rogues, but these have been great, too):
