About Us
GarageGymBuilders was founded with a simple mission: help people build great home gyms without wasting money on equipment they don't need.
Our Testing Process
Every product we recommend has been personally tested by our team. We don't just read spec sheets — we assemble, lift on, and live with the equipment before writing a single word.
How We Make Money
GarageGymBuilders is reader-supported. When you buy through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission at no additional cost to you. This helps us keep testing equipment and publishing free content.
Our affiliate relationships never influence our recommendations. If a product isn't good enough for our own gyms, we won't recommend it for yours.
