Imagine waking up, throwing on your favorite workout clothes, and walking just a few steps to your fully-equipped personal training space. 

No commute, no waiting for equipment, no membership fees—just you and the weights, ready when you are. 

This is the reality of owning a home gym, and it might be more accessible than you think.

In this special bonus episode, I'm sharing my complete guide to building a home gym that saves you time, eliminates excuses, and gives you total control over your training environment.

We cover everything from the pros and cons of having a home gym to space requirements, flooring options, and equipment recommendations that work for any budget. 

I'll walk you through exactly what you need to start with (for under $1,000), what to add as you progress, and how to eventually build a complete setup that rivals commercial gyms.

Whether you're dealing with limited space, tight budget, or just wanting to eliminate the hassle of commercial gyms, this episode gives you a blueprint to creating your perfect lifting environment at home.
