The Garage Gym Online

Turn your back on the commercial gyms and embrace fitness in your garage

The Garage Gym Online is for everyone who wants to use their garage as a gym.  From the obsessive bodybuilder with 13 different types of cable machine taking up the whole basement to the family guy with a set of rusty, mismatched dumbbells wedged between the lawnmower and the washing machine, this is a blog for you.

Here at The Garage Gym Online, I started just three years ago with a pull up bar, a climbing harness and some loose weights.  Since then, I have built my own climbing wall, made a couple of plyometric boxes, collected a whole barrage of grippers and erected a shed in my garden to house all the gardening tools that won’t fit around the squat rack. 

During the last six months, I’ve found myself using my commercial gym membership less and less.  In May 2009, I took a deep breath and finally handed in my notice. It expires today, so I’m setting up this blog as a consolation.

In reality, the only thing I am sad to see the back of was the Concept 2 rowing machine (but I keep checking e-bay, so who knows what the future will hold?)

What you can find here

The Garage Gym Online will focus on how to get fit and strong, while losing fat and gaining muscle, all in your own garage.  Join me on my journey from podgy and weak to lean and strong.  Along the way, we’ll run articles featuring:

• The best ways to get fit and strong in the comfort of your own home
• How to build your own workout equipment
• My weekly workout routines
• What I eat to lose the flab and build muscle
• Interviews with cool people who have got fit with minimal equipment

I look forward to writing for you and hope you’ll stick around.
