The gym i always trained at was in my parents garage. It had everything i needed! They sold the place & I gave most of the gear away to the local surf club gym...
I joined up some 5hit gym and hated it. I had some stuff left over & a mate had some stuff accumulated over the years.
One afternoon on a run, i went past all these sheds and thought 'that'd be a great spot for a gym'. the next day i went past, found the owner & organised to rent the empty one off him!!
Rang my mate, got all our gear and scoured eBay for more. I found a heap of old stuff & working in construction, i had a few mates with connections, so got the truck tyres and ropes off another guy for nothing!!
My dad knows abit about welding/engineering, so we made a sled (couldnt find the photo sorry) and the farmers walk gear from scrap metal. Also some boxes for plyo training.
We made sand bags from old truck tyre inners and filled them with sand.
It has everything we need. bodybuilding, strength & x-training. The ropes are SO hard to climb!!
The gym isnt open to the public, but if youre travelling to sydney, give me a PM i'd be happy to have a workout with anyone from here!!
I need some more dumbells & I think it will be perfect. The mats on the ground I had in my garage, the squat racks, I kept mine & my mate had one in his yard too!
The kegs you can see I also got off another friend who manages a pub. I was working there and asked for a couple! One has some beer in it, its hard to throw! haha

We made these for box jumps
also made these for farmers walks, 45kgs each
