In this episode, we're pulling back the curtain on everything we've learned about building the perfect home gym—and trust us, we've made our fair share of mistakes along the way!

We kick things off by diving into the absolute first step that'll make or break your entire setup and, from there, we're walking you through our proven process for creating a layout that actually works.

You'll get the full behind-the-scenes tour of our actual gym setup, plus we're breaking down exactly why cutting corners on quality is the biggest mistake you can make if you're serious about long-term results and our favorite piece that we own.
