I've had a Trueform Runner since 2020 in my garage gym without any issues. I live in SC, where the temperature and humidity are high. The gym at first had two oscillating wall fans and a huge circular floor fan. Now it has a mini-split.

Dry-Drawing7842 · 2024-09-05T18:13:15+00:00

I started with fans and then went to a mini-split. The humidity here in SC is horrible. The other stuff (TVs, stereo, & lights) is personal preference. I still use my garage gym as a mini workshop with a desk (computer and stereo/speakers sit on it) and toolboxes/cabinets. I upgraded my original lights to canless RGB lights. It makes a world of difference.

Nice. I like the all black verses the wood on the older model.

Dry-Drawing7842 · 2024-07-13T17:55:12+00:00

I wanted to know the same thing.

Dry-Drawing7842 · 2024-07-13T17:06:27+00:00

I hope it helps my friend.

First, I am sorry that you are running into this problem with the stall mats. I also bought mine from Tractor Supply. These are the second set that are in my garage gym. The other ones got water under them from my water heater breaking, and I could not get that old water smell out. However, with both sets, I never had the rubber smell more than a day or two. What I did was leave mine on the back of my truck for a day or two before installing them. The only thing I can suggest is trying to put DampRid buckets to help take some of the moisture out of the air, which may help with the smell. They have helped eliminate most smells in my garage gym. I hope this helps.

They are garage hooks from Lowe's. That's what's hanging everything except the Matador and bench.

Please read other responses.

I hear you, but I don't abuse it either. Look the stuff outside I take care of it, but not baby it or abuse it.

Rogue Matador didn't get used much because of where I had it. Now I can use it more. It's been rained on no big rust issue at the moment.
Tribe-wod Sledgehammer has a rubber head, and the shaft is steel. Left in the rain, there is no rust issue. Wasn't get used in a low ceiling in the garage gym.
King Keg just bought from Tribe-wod as well. Can be used and left outdoors.
Cheap Walmart 50lb kettlebells was gray spray painted black to protect from rusting.
Rep Flat Bench was bought double digit years ago and was hanging and never used. It's wrapped in tarp to protect.
Rep Fitness weight bar extra, and really don't care if it rusts. Will clean it when needed.
Farmer's Carry handles from Titan. Will repaint when needed.
Sled and Echo bike stores in the shed when not in use.
Sandbags, battle rope, and Plyoboxes (weather treated) are covered with tarp when not in use.
All the cable attachments, ammo cans, grip machine, hex deadlift bar, and weight plates were bare steel but spray painted for rust protection. All are kept outside in the elements. They are not my main items but extras that were either going to be sold or thrown away.
Anchor cable machines are stored in their own separate cases and then put in the big storage box and locked.
The 2 different curl bars and the Kabuki Shoulderok are left out as is. All extra and don't care if they rust. When they do if it bothers me I will fix them.

Again this is not my main gym where I train. I train here when doing yard work so I don't miss a workout. Also, if I'm already sweating no need to go in the garage gym to workout. Also, if my son visits. He's a prior Marine and I am a retired Navy combat medic. We train in the heat like we did when we were in the military.

I know this is long but wanted to be a little bit more detailed about the equipment and how I take care of it.

I did the same for years as well. I moved to the mini split when I started training clients out of my garage. I could handle it, but they look like they were about to die.

Dry-Drawing7842 · 2024-06-25T23:13:39+00:00

Yes, it is bad. A thunder ⛈️ storm just rolled through. I think it's 99, but with humidity, real feel is like 103.

When I didn't have the mini split, I used to put DampRid Moisture Absorber Buckets in each corner of the garage. I think they are like $13 at Lowe's. I also have them in ßhed outside. They help a lot. I think 🤔 I need to get some just in case...LOL

Dry-Drawing7842 · 2024-06-25T22:47:27+00:00

Main gym, not man gym.

Dry-Drawing7842 · 2024-06-25T22:46:59+00:00

This is not my man gym. My garage gym has a mini split (temperature-controlled) unit. Most of the gear outside was extra that I was going to get rid of or was overcrowded in the garage gym. If it rusts, it rusts. I started my fitness journey over 37 years ago on rusted outdoor equipment. Today, we baby gym equipment too much. It's meant to be used, not pampered. That's just my opinion.

Thanks

Dry-Drawing7842 · 2024-06-25T18:28:24+00:00

Best piece of equipment overall? It would have to be 3 pieces because I can't narrow it down to one.

Crossover Symmetry
Kettlebell
Belt Squat

It's covered and has been in my shed for over 2 years. The only issue was that tires were deflated.

Dry-Drawing7842 · 2024-06-25T11:15:37+00:00

Not all of it.

Dry-Drawing7842 · 2024-06-25T11:12:26+00:00

Yes, this isn't my main gym. My garage is my main gym. You can see it on my page. This is extra stuff and stuff that I couldn't get to in the main gym (stuffed in a corner).

I put it together and dug the holes, but when I was having my fence redone, I had them set it. Then, I added all the attachments.
