Wondering what are the demand of a garage gym in Malaysia. As you can see is a growing market in US and Australia.
What are budget like.

As I know, a good sufficient free weights garage gym (no electronic machine) may cost up to RM20,000 max.
with a set of barbell (200kg+/-), cage/stands, platform, dumbbells and bench.

i know there's 1 already, savage gears. you can search them on fb.

not really a fan of the plates they're offering though

Yea, I'm sort of helping them in terms of equipment like treadmills and other machines.
i'm coming up with locally made metal works for rigs and racks. training bars will be from overseas like how Savage Gears did it.

It's just too bad that I live in a condo

Having a home gym is the dream for me. I think that's the limiting factor in the demands in the city, not many people live in a landed property nowadays. Those that do rarely have much extra room for a rack and platform.

I want to build my own garage gym but it's very expensive in Sarawak. Olympic bar with weight plate cost about Rm2k. Not sure about the bench and power rack. One fine day I hope I can bench and squat at my own power rack instead benching and squatting with my cheap squat rack. It sucks when I need to do the roll of shame.

unfortunately, the bar and weight plate market price is around 2k. but u can get a standard squat stands at RM1.5k thou. want me to customize one for u?

Yes, I would like to but not now. But I'll contact you when I'm ready walletly. Just wondering, 1.5k is excluding shpping to Kuching right.

yea, excluding. will try to get the best logistic. but installing on the other hand, can be a problem

You can always DIY stuff

Internets aplenty of infos

101 ways to meet your maker

Commercial stuff doesnt guarantee safety too anyways

I have heard more death and injuries by morons in commercial gyms

I guess the keyword here is moron.

yea. anything without education can be dangerous. i've seen treadmill flew to the window before just because the belt suck the inflatable yoga ball in LOOOOL!

just sharing thread, do you know any suppliers that have microloading plates, the smallest I have is 1.25kg and its not enough

Tats the smallest u can get commercially no?

fractional plates exist for variants up to 250g, thats the smallest I have personally seen in real life. the problem is most gyms dont stock them

i do sell microplates from 0.5kg, 1kg, 1.25 etc
unfortunately, it doesn't come in loose though. have to buy a set of 0.5,1kg, 1.25, 1.5, 2 , 2.5 and 5.

ah that sucks. its ok though, the savage gym you mentioned carries them

how much does a custom pull up bar cost ?

roughly RM450
