x-post from /r/homegym, since through the process of first discovering, and then choosing Rogue I've quickly become a fan of Crossfit. Not my original intention, but my home gym ended up slanting in that direction & I'm quickly getting hooked. Ha.
Here are the pics w/ story below

95% completed - need a few more plates, barbell storage, etc. Every time I go to Rogue's site I end up ordering something new (prior to last month I never considered buying gymnastics rings, and yet they should be delivered tomorrow - FFS). Other than spending considerably more $ than I originally planned, I'm very happy with how it turned out. Thanks to the folks on r/homegym who saved me from making a bad decision a few weeks ago.
The what (big stuff):
I already had the space as a workout room w/ the treadmill, bike, TRX, and PB 50s, but we still have a family Y membership, while paying for LA Fitness (me), and Orange Theory (her). Needless to say, those things add up, and with 4 active kids we often end up skipping the gym due to life getting in the way. As if that wasn't justification enough, the real kicker for me came a few months ago when my oldest son started wanting to regularly lift weights (which I love being able to do with him). He's entering HS and playing football, so the timing just seemed right. Between him & the younger ones I'm hoping / expecting to get our money's worth and then some. That's my story anyway...
