How to BUILD a $1,000 HOME GYM on AMAZON in 2023!

okay so i need a place for my desk yeah yep i need a seat [Music] [Laughter] let's do it this thing's comfy yeah hey guys this is coop from garage gym reviews and we have a much anticipated much requested video for you today about two years ago pre pandemic or like right at the pandemic i made a video called how to build a 500 budget home gym on amazon if you'd like to see i'll put a link below like button we've done a ton of content on budget home gyms including full guides and we'll include all of those again in the link below like button if you'd like to see it along with all the products that i'm going to mention in this video but one that people have requested and makes sense today is how to build a thousand dollar budget home gym so it's still a budget home gym it's double the budget the reality is unfortunately things are now much more expensive than they were two years ago so we'll be able to seek and compare to our previous video and see like all right how much can you really get for a thousand bucks versus two years ago and can you really build a home gym a full home gym that allows you to train how you want to train for only a thousand bucks on amazon i think you can let me show you okay first thing to do is obviously go to amazon.com now if you like this sort of video you'd like to see other ones make sure you subscribe because we're going to do the same thing for other price points and other companies but let's focus on a thousand dollars on amazon.com for the ultimate budget home gym the first thing i'm going to do is look up adjustable dumbbells ordinarily i would recommend something like a squat rack but i think for a thousand bucks there's so much you can do with dumbbells especially adjustable dumbbells that they're probably going to be ones we look at now i get it if you want like a heavy weight somewhere around 100 pounds of dumbbell 90 pounds of dumbbell like a power block or new bell you're gonna basically spend your entire thousand bucks so you're gonna have to give and take some here i think selecttech 552s are a great option from bowflex we've done a full review on them but those are going to take a lot of money so to start with i think the ones that are going to be like the best price the most amount of weight that we can use cap barbell makes a spin lock style dumbbell that comes with 52 and a half pounds it's an adjustable dumbbell and they're six to eight bucks shipping so we're gonna get two of those so it's gonna cost us i'm gonna add two to my card it's gonna cost us 136 bucks for adjustable dumbbells that we've got a lot of weight and we can just do a ton with so that's my suggestion there next i think we we go with a bench for most people if we're staying in a thousand dollar range an adjustable bench it just gets a little bit hard to recommend it there's some really cheap ones i think you have two options here you can get an amazon base expense on a just a super low cost the amazon basics bench has typically been i wanna say around 50 bucks in the past it's probably increased in price we will see see it's 68 bucks now that used to be 45 bucks just to tell you how inflation is wreaking havoc but there's an alternative here from ballots from what a name balance from why not balanced form steel frame flat weight 600 pound weight bench that one could work if you just want the cheapest possible flat bench that's the one to go with but i'm actually going to do an adjustable incline bench and the one that i'm gonna do is the fly bird bench we just got this in we're gonna do a full review on it they're not like the greatest thing in the world but they get the job done and i can get one on marketplace uh that's kind of cheating isn't it i can't do that i can't buy one on marketplace because you guys might not have that opportunity i'll just pay whatever the cost is 138 bucks and it's a limited time deal can you imagine a limited time deal on amazon that never happens okay limited time deal 138 bucks all right so this is what we're sitting at right now we've got an adjustable bench not just a flat bench an adjustable bench it's not the best adjustable bench but it's good enough for a budget setup 138 bucks we've also got two adjustable dumbbells 68 bucks apiece 275 bucks for what we're looking at so that gives us some freedom to really i think buy squat rack barbell plates some of that other stuff so next we're going to do a squat rack now i've tested many of the cheap squat racks that are on the market and many of them are i think better than most people would actually think like you just need something that's going to hold weight and you can do pull-ups on and safe i prefer for most people to use a power rack now the fitness reality 810 xlt power rack is the one that i'd recommend for most people it's 292 bucks probably after this video like the last time it will increase greatly in price we dropped 800 pounds or something on this thing the pins are bent but that bad boy is still strong this is the one i'd recommend for most people i'm gonna add it to cart 292 bucks added to the cart free shipping like yeah it's not an 11 gauge 3x3 rack with all these attachments but if you want to upgrade in the future you can add a lap hole to down attachment it does have a multi-grip pull down bar it does have safety spotters it is somewhat stable it's flat foot so you don't have to bolt it down that's one i'd recommend if you want to go on the cheaper end the other one i would recommend is a squat stand it's from cat barbell it's probably one of the cheapest ones you can find on here and it is right here the fm 905 q what a genius name right it just rolls off the tongue it's 156 bucks 150 bucks the problem with the squat stand style rack is most of you are going to be benching on it i recommend it a bench and i hate people benching without safety spotters i mean i won't even be on my computer without safety spotters so you should not bench without safety spotters it's very unsafe all right next thing we need a barbell now when i did this video in the past there were not nearly as many budget barbell options as there are today there are a ton and there's some good ones what we want to look for is not the weight capacity we want to look for tensile strength weight capacity anybody can make that up tensile strength is really what's going to tell us what's going to keep this bar from breaking and permanently bending so you can get something really cheap most people i probably recommend looking outside of amazon somebody like roguefitness to buy barbell because it's something that can last forever and it's not gonna be crazy more expensive but just for the sake of this endeavor we're gonna stay on here and the barbell that i'm gonna look for is the synergy regional barbell and it's the regional one because we've tested the synergy games barbell and the only reason it's much more expensive is because it's got cerakote everything else is the same for the regional barbell so this is a high quality bar they rated at 1500 pounds it's actually 190k tensile strength which is the same tensile strength as a higher end rogue bar so i'm not saying they're the same like they're not the equal the normally it's not as good but for the price 230 bucks shipped your door not bad so let's see if they've got any other cheaper options okay we can get a hard chrome one for 220 bucks yes we're adding that bad boy to cart this is a good bar this isn't a bar where you're like all right i'm buying a budget bar so i'm gonna i gotta worry about the knurling i gotta worry if it's gonna break no there's a bar that's gonna last you a long time and yeah you're spending a little bit more than maybe you would with some of the cheaper options but you're going to have something solid all right next we need a form of cardio okay and my form of cardio that i'm going to recommend for most of you on a budget is something incredibly underrated something i do like at least twice a week during my workouts and something that some of the fittest people of all time have used consistently can you guess what it is it's a jump rope jump ropes are so freaking underrated they're great for accuracy balance training conditioning go get a jump rope and jump rope for 10 minutes you will be dead dog tired i'm telling you and we don't need anything expensive that's the beauty of a jump rope you can do it anywhere and they're cheap in fact i wouldn't even recommend a like a a bearing jump rope the reason being is because i'm not recommending you do dumbbell owners i'm just recommending you jump with a jump rope so if you want to do double unders you can go with a different option but i think for most people like this cheap 5.66 dollar jump rope is gonna be as much as you freaking need and i'm telling you can get a killer workout with that if you want a double under jump rope the one i would recommend is also very cheap from wod nation and it's 18 bucks so definitely more than significantly more than the cheap one i'm recommending but if you're gonna do double unders and those sorts of things because you're in a crossfit that's the one i'd recommend all right total our total right now is 793 bucks and you're all asking yourself but coop we need weight and we do and this is a hard one now previously we would always recommend steel plates and the reason we'd recommend steel plates is because they're the cheapest for most of you first check facebook marketplace place for weight plates steel cast iron weight plates they're going to last forever so buying used isn't a big deal but for buying on amazon honestly today i'd probably recommend bumper plates the reason i recommend bumper plates is because most times they're actually cheaper than steel plates online and we'll actually check the price now the best price in the past as of late has been these everyday essentials like what a it's like the sam's choice of bumper plates man i really want to buy the everyday essentials bumper plates right but they're cheap so i recommend them so we're going to check out the options they have we've basically got 200 bucks left to spend so we're going to add a 45 245s let's see what we end up with here so these are 67 bucks apiece these are the same price if not more than the adjustable dumbbells we've got like think about that all that weight all that metal and adjustable dumbbell and these are a similar price like oh i know it's hard to spend but you got to have them you got to have weight plates so 245s bring us to 928 let's just check and see what steel iron plates are the best ones in the past are these cap easy grip plates they're the ones that are the cheapest most often right here let's see what they cost i'm i'm telling you i they've increased in price so much for a single weight plate 77 bucks see so steel is more expensive than bumpers and it's never been that way let's check one others that just some of these standard cast iron plates we may be able to find some some deals all right 45 pound from balance from 80 bucks dude and they're 10 off you know iron dude has gotten so freaking expensive all right let's see rep fitness has their standard barbell plates on here which these are pretty cheap if you go directly from them all right 45 pound pair is a 180 bucks so again like that's like 50 60 bucks more than our everyday essentials so we got to go with everyday essentials so we got 245s let's see if we can get some 25s this is the oh man this is the big one 46 bucks we're gonna add two to cart this is going to take us over our budget this is going to take us over our budget all right we can't do that you have to get creative with how you're using weight one potential option just to give you an option is the plates that you're using on your cat barbell standard iron plates you can use a standard iron bar so if you wanted to you could buy a standard one-inch barbell instead of the other barbell if you're just like i don't care as much about the barbell i just want as much weight as i can put on there you can get a standard barbell for 28 bucks and it's not gonna hold as much weight it's not gonna be as nice like just trust me i recommend olympic bars for most people so you're gonna have to go over a thousand bucks but if you only got a thousand bucks and you want as much weight as possible you can use the weights from your dumbbells for this another potential option on our adjustable dumbbells is a loadable dumbbell handle and we can use the weight from our bumper plates on those instead but even the price on those is similar so i think what we're gonna have to do is we're just gonna have to stick to a light amount of weight to stay under a thousand bucks so the other ones i'm gonna add just so you have some change plates is probably gonna be 10 pound everyday essentials plates which are 30 bucks add those bad boys to the cart spend a thousand bucks never felt so good one other thing like you could get flooring something that you could add in there for foam flooring most people i think you're fine working on concrete some other options is like a yoga mat you could also get something like a med ball there's other things that you could add we've got about 14 bucks left so we've gotta like we gotta fill that up with something resistance bands resistance band uh we gotta find we got it we just got a little bit of money left we gotta spend all right i know there's one that we can find for less here we go the 3d active resistance band we're only going to be able to get one of them but we're going to fill up our budget and this is something that you can use to help with pull-ups or add resistance to other things okay this is our grand total i mean this is this is a this is you could get a lot done with this for 995.57 you've got cap barbell adjustable dumbbells 52 and a half pounds each okay so that's 105 pounds total in weight right there you've got the fly bird adjustable weight bench you could have gone down for much cheaper for like 45 bucks to a flat bench but i do think an adjustable bench is something like a lot of people like doing incline decline like this is something i think a lot of people get to use from so i'm i'm okay spending a little bit more fitness reality power rack again you could go cheaper if you want more weight and get a squat stand but i really like if you're benching i recommend having spotters and this has a multi-grip pull-up bar there's just a lot you can do with it you've got a nice barbell 220 bucks i would rather you spend more money on fewer things than like having a lot of things so buy nicer things but fewer things than like a ton of things that are all cheap trust me that's a that's a life lesson right there 220 bucks for the synergy regional olympic barbell five dollars for one of the best conditioning tools of all time the jump rope man like the value packed in that is insane i'm telling you you get so fit with the jump rope then we've got two 45 pound plates 67 each two 10 pound plates for about 30 each and a resistance band all for 995 dollars so one other thing we have to include is bar rail collars now you don't have to get like an expensive clamp style we've done a full breakdown on all the collars i pretty much bought all of them and brought them in house and did the coop test where we jump on them i think for most people you can get by with just cheap spring collars and so what i'd probably recommend is maybe replacing like the resistance band which is nine bucks for eight dollar spring collars if you're somebody and you see this like the total and you're like ah i just i want something more expensive i want to go with a bigger brand like titan rogue maybe it's a specific item and you've got this really low budget i've got two things to suggest number one is go to garage in reviews.com and we have coupon codes for like all of them so anytime there's exclusive deals we have a deals page another one is wait for black friday there are other sales during the year but black friday is the one where nearly every company's offerings for sales somebody on our team sam assembly sam built his gym for 1700 bucks and it's not just stuff from amazon he's got some stuff from titan he's got some stuff from true grit and other companies but he waited for sales so black friday is a perfect time to do that and that's what i'd recommend do you like this kind of content do you want more budget content on how to build a home gym let me know in the comments below is there any product category or any product i've missed that you're like this is a great budget option i'd love to hear it for our next video we can mention it this coupe from garage and reviews we'll see you next time peace [Music] so [Music] you
