Post a picture of your latest purchase

[Jer]

I see their showroom is closed to the public and most of the equipment is OOS. How did you go about purchasing from them? I have an OLD late 90's 24 hour sport membership that is only $50/year, but with the COVID, most of the sport gyms have closed. I have access to a small gym, but lately i've been itching to get my own setup at home. So i figure it's time to get this garage gym into gear.

I'll take any advice you can give. TIA.

Very carefully.

No but seriously, nothing is ever in stock and it's been the same way there and everywhere since the start of the year. You just have to keep refreshing and when something you want comes in stock buy it immediately. Don't hesitate because it will be gone within seconds. Don't ask me how I know. Make a list of what you want and then check regularly and commit to buying in your head before it comes in stock. That way, when it does, you don't hesitate to consider. Just pull the trigger.

It's a really good deal if you do local pickup and will save you a TON over shipping from places like Rogue, Titan, et al. Just stack up the orders and then once you get all you want and are ready to make a trip to pick it up just use their link to schedule the pickup. They'll pull all of the orders so you can pick them all up at once. Pretty simple really.

COVID19 closing all of the gyms clear back in March was our motivation. Fortunately, we already had a Rogue Echo Bike from a couple of years ago and the Concept 2 rower I lucked out on a few months ago when Rogue got one in stock. I didn't want to pay shipping but 1) it wasn't that bad and 2) I wasn't going to wait another 6-months for someone else local to get one in. We really needed two cardio machines to make this setup work for the wife and I. We modify workouts w/ running in them for the cardio machines and rotate who uses what between different workouts. Today was a 5-round workout that had 400m rows starting off each round so the wife rowed a 500m and I biked 1,000m each round. Works great. Yesterday she had the bike and I had the rower. We alternate machines for the warm-up so you get a different modality each time you do cardio. Once the weather warms back up again (we workout at like 5:00am) we'll take some equipment up to the garage and run for cardio.

We definitely picked the worst time in history to try to build our own home gym but it's been worth it so far. We really love having our own spot and finally found another excuse to not finish out our basement that we've been threatening to finish for 15 years now. lol

Who'd you have move the weights in for you

We treated it like warmups each time we needed to move stuff to the basement since the original plan was to set it up in the garage. Just moving those mats was a chore since they're 4ft x 6ft and 100lbs each. Every couple of weeks we'd go load up the car in Denver, bring it home, unload to the garage and then (eventually) down to the basement. Then... assembly. Some of that stuff is a real bear to assemble as it's quite large & heavy with some serious hardware. The power rack in the middle uses 1" dia. hardware that has 36mm heads on it! Pretty serious stuff. I managed to shatter one of my 1/2 impact adapters at one point during a freak accident that almost claimed my left trigger finger. Wife said I needed stitches after looking at it. I was like "Nah, I'm good" but probably would have taken her up on it if it were my right trigger finger. lulz

You'd think I'd be stronger and have better cardio with all of the effort it took to set this thing up... and you'd be wrong. Haha

Thinner grip for P210 atarget.

Oh that's dead sexy. I tend to prefer traditional wood (particularity Nils) on a 210, but that's pretty nice looking (and probably real practical).

Thanks and i do agree that p210 target wood grip ( which looks like nill) looks and feels great.

This and shadow will be my carry pistol until price of firearm normalize.

I have been kicking the tires on the KTM 690 Enduro R platform for a few years now. 2019 saw some significant changes. A second counter balancer on the engine to help with engine vibration, a little larger gas tank, shiftless transmission, higher end suspension. They are kind of hard to find with dealers getting just a few each year. This one is a 2020 with just over 600 miles on it. Kind of late in the year for something with two wheels but I will be busy accessorizing it this winter as funds allow. It is a real hoot to ride !

What exactly does shiftless transmission mean? Curious.

Cvt. Continuous variable transmission.

Cvt. Continuous variable transmission.

Yeppers. A couple of tapered pulleys that expand to create the "perfect" gear ratio at any speed.

HATE the design on my side-by-side, but for smaller vehicles, they work pretty good.

Sweet ride, but those side view mirrors.....
