Does anyone have a home gym set up?

I have a flight of stairs, and I get food out of crisper drawers at the bottom of my refrigerator.
Oh, and I have another piece of equipment that looks remarkably like a lawnmower.
All three are good for legs.

For left-hand grip strength workout I have a Washburn X10 guitar that is in bad need of truss rod and bridge height adjustments.

I’ve become a fan of kettlebells. Whatever it takes to get a good workout in 

I’ve worked through CrossFit and Olympic lifts and all other sorts of activities in the last 12 years, yet have settled on Kettlebells myself. There’s a lot of bang for your buck from a few good exercises, and you can train in a way to boost endurance as well. Keeps me running circles others at mens league soccer.

Thanks AlanH81, I generally walk for my cardio. Maybe not HIT but definitely MIT    My wife has a stationary bike that I’m trying to get my head around using.  

One other thing - when Covid closed the local rec Center that I worked out at I did drag some old but very serviceable equipment out of “storage “ which was great, but I wanted to add or upgrade stuff as well. That was hard at first because everyone on earth was doing the same thing so most stuff I wanted was sold out or back ordered. I also decided that I wanted to buy “local” if possible which for me meant made in Canada or USA. This also meant more expensive but I figured that was because workers in Canada and USA are paid a living wage for their labour unlike some foreign labour and as Canadian and American workers are basically my friends and neighbours, why should I begrudge them a living wage?  I’ve been very happy with the quality of the Canadian and American made products that I’ve purchased and if something is priced beyond my reach then either I can save up for it or maybe I don’t need it.

AQU  have you checked out these articles by Dan John? Excellent.

Things can be a little crowded in my gym and I’ve hit my head on stuff so, safety first. 

That looks like something I would do. 
    I put ant orange glove one the door handle so my shop heater so someone doesn't forget to shut it off when the leave.

Hey, whatever it takes so that “someone “ stays safe.

I’m really happy with this piece. I replaced a four post cage with this two post stand. I was a little hesitant to do that sight unseen because I was concerned about stability. I had nothing to worry about. This thing is rock solid.
