The Most Impressive DIY Budget Home Gym Coop’s EVER Seen

In case you were too busy banging out a workout, GGR founder Cooper “Coop” Mitchell recently launched “Budget Gym Co-op”— a YouTube channel dedicated only to budget-friendly equipment. While most of his videos focus on a specific piece of gear, his latest foray into the world of fiscally responsible home gym ownership put the spotlight on a DIY shed setup that should inspire you to step up your game.

Built right next to a chicken coop (we’re not kidding), this mecca of strength training features everything from the badass Bolt Fitness Supply Storm Series Warlord Half Rack and the Gronk Fitness Leg Extension/Leg Curl Machine to a heavy bag and speed bag for knocking out some boxing cardio workouts.

Even for a well-traveled equipment connoisseur like Coop, Adam’s DIY home gym left him speechless. We promise you’ll feel the same way once you take the (virtual) tour, too.

Freak Athlete Hyper Pro Review

Bigger isn’t necessarily always better. However, in the case of the Freak Athlete Hyper Pro (formerly known as the Freak Athlete Nordic Hyper GHD), it’s impossible not to get excited by the sheer number of exercises you can perform on this ultra-versatile muscle-building tool.

While the older version offered six modalities for developing your posterior chain, the new and improved Hyper Pro takes things to the next level by combining 11 machines into a single, formidable unit. Yes, you read that right, this surprisingly budget-friendly machine includes:

• Glute ham developer

• Nordic bench

• Back extension

• Reverse hyper

• Hip thrust

• Sit-up bench

Plus, there are a few attachments that allow you to expand your options even further. But how exactly does all of this work? And does the Hyper Pro actually live up to the hype? Dive into our in-depth review to discover all the possibilities of this freakishly neat machine.
