Thinking of setting up a home gym, what are the pro's and con's of doing this?
i have got an out house built out of brick, has an electric supply, all i would need to do is give it a paint and screed the floor.

pros are you dont have to smell other peoples sweat while workin out.
cons can be hard to get motivated.

good idea. there are plenty of times at night where i feel full of energy but it's too late to go to the gym so i dont bother. if i had a home gym i'd have gone in there and done an hour. if you're like that then it will be a good thing.

also a home gym can be as cheap or expensive as you want.and like C2RL R said it is available to use any time.
plus it depends how you workout for example i do a circuit,can be near impossible in a gym because as soon as you get off a machine someone else jumps on and hogs it

thats the most annoying thing about gyms. if other people weren't there it'd be miles better

i will be doing this in my garage 
like carl said, i regularly find i get a massive energy boost at night and i do't go to gyms as i don't like them so prefer to workout in my own home.

Hopefully I'll be able to get a 2 bed place when I move out and use the 2nd bedroom as a mini gym.

What sort of training you doing. If weights, don't bother with cheap stuff and invest in safety a buy a power cage. I might be selling mine soon if I don't buy a new house with a garage. If it's summit your after I'll sort you a good price

I go to the gym for 60 mins 4-5 days a week. If i had one at home i would never use it. TBF half the reason i go the gym is for the social aspect.

I have had one for the last few months, motivation can be hard but once you get the routine its not bad at all.

People who have home gyms; Do you have one of those multi-gyms or have you got free weights? Which would you recommend?
