Building an Outdoor Gym: Under $800 and 48 sqft, for all your BWF needs! (If you have access to a backyard space.)

@a1cityflowers That's not a vendor; that's some used shit.

 

[a1cityflowers]

@pathemamike Sorry, didn’t realise you were some ‘buy it new’ snob. What’s wrong with ‘used shit’?

Do you think the weight gets lighter the more it’s picked up or something?

 

[pathemamike]

@a1cityflowers If you want to spend eight years trying to source everything together, that's cool. I'll buy used shit, sure but dude was acting like its bnib and he's wrong.

Also ebay really isn't a vendor.

 

[a1cityflowers]

@pathemamike He said you could buy all that stuff for that price. He’s right.

If you want to pay extra for convenience, you do you, but complaining about spending time ‘sourcing shit’ on a post where the alternative is building an entire fucking gym is borderline retarded.

@brothermanbill Square peg, round hole.
How much of that is good for outdoor bodyweight exercises?

 

[angelahall34]

@brothermanbill But not a place to put it in. I have a decent yard but no garage, thinking of doing this too...

@brothermanbill With $800, I could buy a new gaming rig, headset, mouse, and keyboard! It's like he's not even trying to be a gamer...

@brothermanbill You do realize this is bodyweightfitness, right?

@brothermanbill No you can't what are you talking about. Not right now that every vendor is dry and neither before COVID when prices where normal. You might find some good deals after the quarantine though.

@amotz This is great but I think all that you really need are gym rings and maybe a squat rack. Paralettes optional.

 

[amotz]

@dawn16 I wanted to be able to improve on my muscle ups and have rings to be hung higher and this was a "relatively" cheap option

@amotz Loved the design. Can I trouble you (or anyone) to post a link to "Single Bar, 70" x 8" - 1.25" or similar on an equipment supply site. (The link in the post is to a photo of the item.) Thanks.

 

[amotz]

@mommyndbug This is where I got mine. Each cost $50 CDN which was a much better deal for me.

There are other places you can get depending on where you're from, check your local fitness stores. Another popular place would be from Rogue which is available in Canada and US.

 

[mommyndbug]

@amotz Thanks!

@amotz Where is it possible to mount rings?

Also what’s the best bang for buck option for calisthenic equipment, I’m just a Highschool kid out of work :/

 

[amotz]

@kknmksmama Rings. Off a tree.

 

[kknmksmama]

@amotz Hmmm I think that may work but is there anywhere else perhaps?

 

[michaeljaywilcox]

@amotz I'm worried about kids running into the bars.

Good work though,

@michaeljaywilcox Unless this is some sort of joke that is eluding me I honestly can't imagine feeling the need to be so cautious that this would be an actual concern of mine.

@golfball Glad that works for you. I never said the built is wrong. It's badass though.
