Step 1: get rogue to give you everything for free

Totally agree with the discipline and simplicity message

It's so nice that you're not just pushing the equipment you have and telling us you don't need to have an air runner or treadmill etc, just giving us the key information we need. Thanks Cole and every time I see your videos I'm reminded why you won spirit of the games.

BEST garage gym video ive seen. Out of 100. Your gym is perfect. Thank you for the great advice and good luck in your future tournaments!

Just found your channel. It's already becoming one of my favorites. Great content. I'm rooting for you in the 2021 games.

I love the quote on the wall!

Thanks Cole. Some great advice. I love keeping it simple. Some people get carried away and put way too much gear in a small garage.

I love your outlook on simplicity

So stoked to watch you this year. You're one of my favorite athletes 💪💪

Thanks for the tips Cole!

Great looking garage Cole, thanks for the tips, very helpful. Good luck this year, will be rooting for you.

I miss the weekly video's from you. you have the best Garage gym! Love from SA.

Dude that was an amazing video, inspired me to take my setup to the next level !!

Currently putting together my home gym. This was well timed!

this is exactly what I was looking for. Thank you Mr Sager

Such great tips Cole! We just moved to VA Beach as a military couple and we are literally making a list to re-build our gym since we had to get rid of so much before due to weight restrictions. My hubs and I chuckled cause literally all we have now is a jump rope and a dumbbell and we just finished up running outside. We also laughed about the reverbs through the house so we are looking into that concern now. Great videos and so easy to just click on and watch all the way through. Your passion will take you a very long way as it already has!

This is one of the minimilistic gym setup with maximum space utilization i ever seen uptill now. Theme of gym look quite great and the way you have organised the equipment and accesories is totally remarkable . i fall in love with your gym ..

Thanks Cole! Gets me thinking about other spaces where I want to achieve greatness - what will make me turn up and put in the time and energy. Great food for thought! Wishing you both a fantastic week!

Great informative video! Keep the great work! You are an inspiration!!

This was an amazing video. Thank you for putting it together and ironically how handy it has become now that we are dealing with the Rona Pandemic. Literally just bought a few things i seen off this video. Thanks

Man, your positive attitude is infectious. 💯 on optimization of floor space.

Great message and advice. Good luck in your CrossFit adventures . I’ll be looking for you

I have an R3 bolt together rack. So I split it in half and used the crossbars to bolt the uprights to the wall. And connected them with pull up bars. Now I have a wall rig that’s three times the width. So it’s basically like three racks next to each other. So much cooler than a power rack. Just add spotter arms for less than 200 to retain the functionality of the rack.

MAN, YOU'RE NOT LYING! When I got the heater installed in my garage-- GAME CHANGER! Love this video.

You made such a good point. Home gym without motivation = zero result.

Eating that chicken quarantini right now...great gym. I don't have a garage...condo living....but I love to workout and just wanted to watch you talk lol! Thank you for the great ideas. Makes me want to move into a house...just for the garage.

Awesome garage gym. I went out and bought horse stall mats for my garage based on your recommendation. They work great and didn't break the bank. Great videos Cole.

Oh my goodness I would love to have a setup like this in my garage. 😍 Would be so handy on the days I have all 3 kids at home on the holidays etc because it can be a real juggle getting them down to the box or having them watched. Love your channel Cole. You and Genasee should come and visit us in Australia soon. 😊 🇦🇺

I cam relate to ur friend. I'm only 15 so I dont have a lot of money to spend on equipment. I started off doing body weight exercises in my room, started to see results and instantly got hooked. My first real equipment was a wood pull up bar I made with my uncle. Next was a medicine ball for core exercises. And finally my moms friend gave us some plates I've been using, without a bar, just wrapping my fingers through the center hole and doing squats/deadlifts, and putting them on my back and doing pushups. I've seen such awesome results and I cant wait to add more equipment to my setup. Thanks for the tips, they're really going to help out!

Hi Cole! No idea if you’d ever gonna read this, but … Just came here after hearing the Chasing Excellence Podcast with you. In that context it makes perfectly sense that the newest vids here are about a year old. You are a great inspiration for so much more than fitness. Thanks and best wishes to you and your family :-)

Bro you can do BFB in the driveway. Squat cage all day baby! Love your set up man thanks for sharing it with us.

Such good advice! Be reasonable, be patient. I appreciate it.

I am SO pumped to workout in my garage now!

Awesome brother.

inspiration, aspiration, perspiration.

great presenter and great presentation. Good job!

My garagemahal has transformed a whole lot in the last 5 years!! Its always evolving. Love the info Cole! ThNk u!🤘🏽👊🏽

Dude is the most wholesome athlete I've ever seen.

Great video Cole!

Cole is definitely gonna podium this year!

Ha....my garage gym started with a jump rope, kettlebell and punching bag. I am pretty much set on everything now. It helps having an awesome wife that supports and partakes. ✌

Keep up the good work and thank you for your videos. Reach out if you ever need to hit some WOD's in a garage gym in Walla Walla.

Great video! 👍🏻

My garage gym is small, but mighty...like 1 stall garage size that also has man cave things in it. A dingy for our sailboat hangs from the ceiling, a workbench in the back, and a metal rack/shelf with power tools. I've saved and spent my money as wisely as possible. Small Rouge squat rack, rower, my boyfriend made me a wall mount for plates/bands, and I'm slowly adding more pieces when I can afford it. Thinking about getting a bike soon-but it'll need to go in the house, pull-up bar is in a doorway in the house, and I have a plyo box + a few KB's and DB's. 6 months in and I'm already down almost 20inches total. I also have a small heater; living in Green Bay Wisconsin means it's already cold out....so hoodies, wool socks, and keeping my bar in the house so it's not ice cold. Where there is a will, there is a way!

Very helpful.

Hey cole! Catching up on your videos right now but I have to say this. I listened to your podcast with Brute strength and i have gone from happiness, to being in awe to maybe letting go of a little tear here and there. Your life is remarquable and the amount of experience you are sharing on that podcast but also (in a way) in your videos is life changing - Especially the relationship with Genasee. I have had a food disorder as well, not sure if i would call it like that too, I was eating fruits, meats, rice and that would be all just to be lean. It still is a lesson to be learned but after listening to you speak, I really want to take that leap and try Wag or any other nutritional service (it's a lifestyle after all). The other thing is your open performance and how you learned that it was you and just yourself who kept you from performing better and that 1% kept you from it. Really, i turned off the car once the episode was done and I was like " I need to reflect on myself, leave my ego at the door etc." Thanks for being you man, keep posting these videos and good luck at the games man!

This would be great, if I could afford any of these things

I save for one piece at a time. Walmart, Facebook market, craigslist. My whole master bedroom has been converted to a gym. It's amazing. Only took 6years to get everything😂

Hey cole love the videos man your positivity is very contagious so I thank you, also could you give some input on your journal layout and how you go about doing your journal. Thanks a lot man

Cole seems like a really cool and nice guy

Thanks for correcting yourself... I'm an engineer and have a pet peeve when people use the term "cement" incorrectly. Great info, I appreciate you sharing

I'm curious to learn more about the install for the space heater. I'm looking at getting one before it gets to cold here in Colorado. I was wondering how hard the install was? Did you have an electrician come wire it? It sounds like you have to install a new dedicated breaker and that may above my handy skills. Thanks in advance!

Sweet set up Cole! Question for you: how do you program ring/ bar muscle ups with lower ceilings?

It's like you knew I'd be buying a new home and thinking about a garage gym

Can't wait to come throw down there brother!!

Thanks Cole, super helpful. May I ask where you got your plate tree? Thanks in adavnce.

Mannnn new sub awesome

There are quite a few things for a garage gym that you can build yourself with a little time and creativity if you are on a budget. I put together a pretty respectable gym in 5 days for about 700 bucks by buying used and building some stuff myself

Literally a small affiliate in your garage... Great work Cole!

That guy looks so healthy he is freakin glowing. Whatever you are selling I am buying

Probably the best GG i've seen, you can Fit your car in

Nice tips you gave me some ideas thanks! So what do you do when you drive home on a rainy day? Do you drive in your gym with a wet car?

Hey Cole what do you think about training alone? Benefits? Ive been training alone for about a year and a half and am not sure if joining a box to get some training partners to help push would be a good idea. just curious on your thoughts! Thanks, God bless!!!

Abraham Lincoln is my distance relative nice quote!

What kind of camera are you using ? Beautiful footage and great content as always!

I have the opposite issue here in Florida. I need a/c in my garage gym. Still trying to find the best option for that next to a fan.

do you have any videos of you doing peg boards with the lower ceiling level and also does it limit you on other things?

wow nice gym!

Hey, Cole! My home gym will be on the third floor. What should I get so I can drop my barbell? Most is probably 135lbs overhead.

Can you tell me how you bolted the rack into the floor thru the stall mats? Did you use the regular bolting hardware that rogue sells or was it different to get thru the mat and foundation? Thanks.

Oh boy, I was looking all around for where your bench was seeing you had pretty much everything else 7:28 tucked away there underneath what looks like your mains for the house? Lol

What's your toughts about Body Solid Fusion600 for bodybuilding Bulk? Can it work as good as dumbels and free weights? I can't train legs. Thank you for the great video!

Nice home gym! What kind of rack is that you are using for your barbells?

Hey Cole - does the heater heat up the space well enough? Did you guys have to insulate as well or is it just cement exterior? Thanks!

Really appreciate the video mate, quick question where do u get the mats from???

Hey Cole, Nice job! Did you experience any off gassing from those horse mats?

Hey cole I love your videos Can you tell me where you bought your floor matt?

Nice video but I can’t find the wall mounted rack on Rogue’s website. Is it Rogue equipment?

Great video Cole. Question for you, how did you manage 30” crossmembers for your rig? Looking to get a very similar set up, but I’ve only been able to find 24” or 43” crossmembers on the Rogue website.

Hey Cole! Just out of curiosity.. Do your neighbors know how good you are? They complain about noise? And just one more thing.. sometimes do you feel like going to a box and just do a regular wod or at your level it would be a waste of time? Sry for so many questions buy you guys are the best!

Very nice. What a setup. Do the mats smell a lot? Thanks!

Question, Sir! What do you do for gymnastics movements like ring or bar muscle ups? I’m looking into building my garage gym and and I’m trying to figure out how to incorporate those in!

Where did you buy the flooring from? It’s not linked in the description box?! Please and thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

2:52 I dont know what your implying...

Thanks, Cole! This is really a question for anyone here. Money is really tight and saving up for big fancy equipment is tough (who would’ve thought a bunch of children would cost a ton of money????). As a result, I have literally built my own gym. I mean, literally. I got an old rusty rack and fixed it up, built a shelf to store weights and bar (only things I didn’t physically build / restore), built a plyo box, am adding a GHD function to it this weekend, and utilize different sized bags of concrete rapped in duct tape as sand bags. My wife and I have been saving up for additional equipment I cannot make myself. I will be able to afford my first real piece of equipment in a couple of months, but am stuck between buying a rower, assault bike, echo bike, dumbbells, or additional plates for my bar (my weight maxes out at 265, which covers everything I can lift to date, but gains have been crazy and 265 is becoming lighter by the week for certain lifts). Any suggestions on which one would help me take my fitness to the next level? I really appreciate any input.

In the winter how do you deal with all the crap you bring in on the tires? Salt, Sand Dirt plus what drips from the under carriage?

Hey cole! Where did you get the storage rack?

Another dumb question- What do you use to clean your stall mats?

I followed the link but they have 7 or 8 rigs to choose from... Which one is it that you have?

Do you have enough space for bar muscle ups and ring muscle ups in there? Suuuuch a nice garage gym

Curios about your heater? Is it electric? Or gas? What manufacturer? Thank you! Beautiful space!

Where did you get your rig? I’ve been looking for one like yours for me of my husband, so that we each have our own space.

Hey Cole! Awesome gym. I was wondering how the mats have held up parking on them all this time. How do you clean them? I hope this whole quarantine hasn't killed your fire. Stay safe out there.

Question for everyone , why not put the 1.5” matts all the way ? They are thicker , is it a matter of price on why people don’t do it ? Surely the thicker the more protection

Cole, at 2:48 in the background on the plate/dumbell rack on the wall, 3rd row fromt the top between the blue and black plates, there're two balls. What brand, weight etc are they? Thanks!

What tone that is it that started playing in 0:30?

where did you get the mats from? these tips are really good.

Do you need ventilation system in your garage? I am planning to use my garage as GYM but not sure about the heating and cooling part..

I saw the lights plug directly into the light bulb socket. Where did you find those?

Cole, where did you get the barbell holders?
