Let's try this...

"If you had absolutely no equipment and only $100 to build a gym that had to be sufficient for all you needs - what would your gym look like?"


Either way - ideas? This could be interesting!

plates from a garage sale or craigslist, make DB bars out of a pipe

you actually don't need to buy anything, you can go to the park and get a, thug workout homie!

we lockin out!

but seriously, it depends on the persons goals on what they should buy, and there fitness level

I would steal sand from the beach and use sandbags as weights

I've done some "thug workouts". But a very white old guy like me using a school playground, especially 'talkin' it up' while working out, always looks like a sexual preditor.

BTW - I've stolen sand from playgrounds.

If you work at construction sites - rebar (concrete supports) can have a lot of uses.

Don't forget engine blocks, cranks, iron heads, transmissions, rearends, etc. Just buy a junk car, a sawsall and some pipe.

I would buy the Redskins franchise so that Daniel Snyder would stop shitting on it, then use their weight room.

In addition to complex gyms in all my houses I would deck out a plane with a full gym so when your traveling the world you got something to do besides sit on your arse.

I would open a state of the art World Gym or Gold's gym, it would be my gym and social hang-out.

With a restaurant?

i would find the most rundown and hardcore gyms i could find and buy it.... probably something like the metroflex, dorians gym in england, or alexander federovs gym........ i dont like the fancy stuff...

I would build a state of the art facility with the full gammit of equipment, a turf field, basketball/tennis courts/hockey rink, all that shit. Whats even better, there won't be a single fucking TV or peroson under the age of 18 in the place. Also, there would be a 5ft section in front of every dumbbell/weight tree on a motion sensor that would taze every fuckwad who decided they needed to do their set directly in front of the rack.

Good idea.

Basically, my homegym is like a 100$ gym. I'll see if I can post a picture of it. It's quite ingenious actually.

I would hire Arnold, Oliva and Raquel Mclish as my personal trainers.

I'd hire Mike Mentzer.

I'd like to see that! My dad used to save all my bicycle innertubes and make stuff out of those to casually workout.

I don't know if all the money in the world can accomplish that one.

My gym would have the best equipment in the world, it would be designed to be hardcore, with rusty plates, a bathroom with a toilet that doesn't work, a mirror that it's cracked, loud heavy metal music only, a sign that says ''it's ok to scream'' a sign that says ''it's ok to drop the weights'' the place would be huge, and it would look very hardcore like the temple dungeon, because bodybuilder feed of that hardcore hostile enviroment...I dream of that gym...

Rubber floors. A power rack or Mono-lift for squats. A deadlift station. Olympic benches at varying angles. A bar for each of these which is to remain there at all times. DB's that are hexagonal in shape because I hate the fucking old skool round ones. I need bars to chin and hang from. Other than that, maybe a rock climbing wall because that shit will make you strong like Spiderman.

All walls are mirrored because I like to check my form and I'm slightly vain because I'm a fucking billionaire and if you have a problem piss off.

Need to put that behind the rack too. Used to be a dorky little shithead who'd set up to do DB lunges right behind me as I was trying to squat. More than once I thought about just dropping the damn bar behind me and letting it roll over him.

Tiny trampoline with boxing gloves for cardio. Punching bag. DBs. BB. Bench w/squat rack. Lots of weight. Sand bags that don't break or leak. Atlas stones of varying size and weight. Large, awkward objects to lift and carry. Something large, heavy and rollable on an incline. I think that's pretty much it. Oh, and an endless supply of pure water one degree Fahrenheit above freezing.

Now that's what I call high quality H2O

I like most of this...would have to have a clean, functional bathroom....

Also big sign at front that states:
THIS IS A HARDCORE GYM...NOT A FITNESS FACILITY.

-oh....have a 'juice bar': per-workout energy drinks, and post workout recovery shakes.

Too afraid of shitting my pants. At my age you gotta be careful about that stuff.
