Not as heavy duty, but if I’m squatting >200kg then I will buy a bigger one!

A friend has one, I'm sure he said it was the best part of £2k to buy but it's something approaching £40/month for all the online features. Would be much cheaper to buy a turbo trainer and a bike (which you could also use seperately) if you weren't bothered about the online bits

Zwift is supposed to be good

Zwift is great!!!

Hugely addictive and motivational!!!

Looks a great option

Congrats on the new build and the plan to turn the garage into a sick home gym. I feel you on the cost, but trust me, it's worth it.
I recently got myself a heavy bag for apartment, and it's been a lifesaver. I've been able to switch up my workout routine, and it's been so convenient, especially with the limited gym options.
As for the garage gym, I think you're definitely on the right track with your equipment choices. The Peloton sounds like a solid option for those who enjoy classes. And with a wall-mounted smart TV, you'll have apps and classes at your fingertips!

Holy thread resurrection Batman! I didn’t have a garage at the time this thread came into existence but I do now. So as this is back up in the recent threads I’ll post this here.
Just need to sort out some scissor trusses so I can do more overhead work with the barbell in there.
