Really great video man. I also looked at the mirafit equipment and I think it is probably the best value for money equipment in the UK for a home setup. Love the black walls. I only have a single garage gym which is typically tiny like most standard UK garages so to create the illusion of space have had to go White all over with decently bright daylight led strips. I just think black would have made it feel way to small unfortunately but if I had more space would definitely have gone black. Great result on the batman artwork as well. I had been trying to figure out how I could do something like that and was looking at posters and getting a custom stencil but using a projected is a stroke of genius! Definitely giving that a go man! Hope you are absolutely loving your new gym!

A great job! You're lucky to be in a country where prices are fair for something as essential as training equipments...in Italy you'll pay two or three times more for less...I did half my equipment by myself (bars and wight plates excluded of course) for that, you got fewer valuable options to buy! Hope Mirafit will sell there with comparable prices in € they got so much choice for professionals of every sport (powerlifting, strongman, bodybuilding) other than that, the only "complain" may be the ceiling height but you did an excellent job with your hands for how your garage gym looks now, maybe a second speciality bar and some cast iron plates can complete everything for the future, i suggest you an axle bar (good for every presses variations and to make deadlift tougher) or a ssb just to rise squat effort (if your not training specifically for a powerlifting meet) [Sorry for my bad English anyway] 💪🏻😅
