Building a squat rack?

Depending on where you're located at tho, shipping may kill ya.

I know you get what you pay for, but $350 isn't exactly cheap.

I'm screwed with home gym setup at the moment, so I'm going to have to look into a gym membership around here. I might be stuck going to the YMCA

Well, I just checked the price on the local one. $35/mo for an adult, $49 for a family (I do have a family).

Then I saw the "corporate rates." I scrolled down a little further and saw the place I work and the place she works for listed under "Corporate Memberships." That drops it to $30/mo for an adult and $42/mo for a family. Plus there's free babysitting for members (during certain hours).

This might not be too bad...

"Fitness" room at my local Y





Weight room






Now this looks like fun for kids





I'll have to look into this a bit more seriously.

Crack , eh oderus. Join the place immediately! If you can afford it and the operating times of the place suits you ,don´t hesitate! You´ll never get pieces like those in pics on your home gym ..... Perhaps I´ll take a pic of my "gym" at work. Huge difference. It all comes to what you want/need about life and training. w family things aren´t that easy I know. If they were , you´d be a selfish creature only interested in his own life. Advantages of having a home gym would be just the fact it´s there just when you need it/ are able to train. But it needs to have certain amount of lifting stuff it´s any good( for serious training).
I vote your local Y.
