Haven't watched until the end so I am not sure what Coops tips on saving are going to be. But when I bought my home gym from Rogue the total with shipping was around $4,700. I didn't realize until after I checked out that if you spend $5,000 that the shipping is free. So I could have bought a lot more equipment and spent around $300 more and got a lot better value. Just something to keep in mind if you are looking to do something like this.

Coop, you really lack insight in fitness & working out, there is A LOT of people, who doesn't care for barbells & weightplates. How stale & boring can it be. TRX, adjustable barbell systems (replaces fixed barbells), adjustable dumbbells, bands, functional trainer, GHD & so much more. Perfect gym without boring & stale barbells & weights. And to mention TRX again... an AMAZING tool to build muscle, do cardio & flexbility/mobility, it does it all and it does it amazingly, only problem is that people don't know what to do and where to start. Personally I've used TRX Training Club on demand videos to learn and it's just... the best, if I could only ever choose 1 single thing to workout with, TRX would be the choice.

I feel like there are some BIG saving left on the table here. For example, you can buy some of the barbell and bumper plates packages that they offer, which from what I can see are really good value. The cheapest one I see now is only $665 and includes an echo barbell, 2x 45s, 25s and 10s + OSO barbell collars + has free shipping. Also the cheapest bumper plates available are actually the US-Mil specs ($160 for 2x 45lbs vs $190 for 2x 45lbs for the echo ones). If you buy a power rack instead of a yoke you also can take advantage of the $75 max shipping.

Resale on Rogue is good if you need to sell, and their stuff lasts forever...but the concept of using them when you are on a budget is odd - often times they are priced at premium or overbuilt - they are not a good choice for a budget gym. Now, you might add the odd Rogue piece that is good value, but all the stuff together will cost a lot. Even if you plan to build up and add to a rack for instance - the accessories are rather expensive
