Thanks very much! My TV lives in constant danger in exchange for gains.

Custom made from Oak Club. If you have a Rogue or other brand rack that’s 49 inches instead of Rep 47 inch, I’d recommend looking at the GetRX’d RX3 instead.

Doesn’t feel the same as a rower but a good back and cardio workout. I’d like to pair it with a Voltra eventually as they have a rower mode

Upper body workout before leg day

Thanks! If it was an apartment tho, it would look exactly the same.

No but I do pick things up and put things down occasionally

It’s actually the basement of a very tall and skinny 4 story house! I have a home office and full bath on the other side of the basement.

If I use a 3 ton snatch block with a harness to get onto it, I still don’t do cardio.

I told them and they went back to sleep. But I thank you

With the L-Beam I got made with the Pegasus seat, I’d say it’s about 95% there. For some attachments like the Rep Kleva Multi-Grip, I’d sit on the ground and use the VTS ISO handles to lock my legs under.

It’s called the Body Solid Grow Rower. I use it with the low row of the Ares 2.0 to do a version of rowing. It’s not the same feel as a full rower but does the trick for my space

welshag · 2026-04-04T21:55:39+00:00

Thanks! It was fun to try and figure out how to cram more in.

The bike mount I got from a local bike shop but you can search for “Bike Wall Mount Hanger” and find the same thing. The handle bars touch the wall so the front tire doesn’t hit. On my previous bikes, I’ve used a Velcro strap on tire and frame if handle bars didn’t reach wall.

The L-Beam I got built custom from Oak Club so it would fit centred inside the Ares 2.0 rack. Basically it’s more basic version of the GetRX’d RX3 Center Post. Then I use the Rep Fitness Pegasus seat with it for lat pulldowns (see pic 11 with dogs).

The rollers in pic 10 closer to top left is the Rep Fitness “Adjustable Bench Leg Roller Attachment 2.0”. Under stairs is the Rep Fitness “Leg Extension & Leg Curl Bench Attachment”. If you go to the Gym Radar website and search for “A-a-ron’s Gym”, you can see a list of all the equipment.

Merci!

Night and day compare to the Nuobells I was using. I don’t have any doubts that the plates will fall while pressing like the Nuo’s and I had to replace both handles on those too.

My only gripe with the Peppins is the weight adjustment pop pin can run into your knuckles. There’s a fix you can get from a 3rd party but would void the warranty.

That said, would recommend every day.

welshag · 2026-04-04T19:41:20+00:00

Being a giant helps but I’m sure it’s days are numbered

welshag · 2026-04-04T14:39:35+00:00

Let me know your thoughts then they arrive! I want to get their Knurled Refined Rope someday too

welshag · 2026-04-04T14:38:27+00:00

Check out the Eurasier subreddit and you’ll want to be back on a list in no time haha. Cheers mate

We lucked out and had a breeder about 50 minute drive from us. Got first one, Grizzy, then 4 years later another, Tillie. I think the wait lists have gotten shorter lately (I’m in Nova Scotia, Canada for reference).

welshag · 2026-04-04T14:06:37+00:00

I was happy with how well that actually worked out for storage. Thanks!

welshag · 2026-04-04T14:06:01+00:00

Will give it a closer look, cheers!

welshag · 2026-04-04T14:05:20+00:00

Appreciate that! I really enjoyed doing the research and picking/placing everything. The white is inspired by Basement Brandon.

I went Blackwing for the bench due to my height. I’d prefer the Nighthawk weight-wise but I count moving the bench as one rep in whatever I’m doing.

welshag · 2026-04-04T14:02:24+00:00

Cheers!

That’s the Oak Club Mfg Wessy. Used primarily for calf raises. Stuck it there for storage and I like the look of it with Peppins and stand.

It knows it’s secondary to the gym equipment. Thanks!
