Smart Home Gyms
For Every Space
Building a home gym doesn't require a massive basement or a commercial budget. At Home Gym Foundry, we specialize in small space setups, senior-friendly fitness zones, and budget DIY equipment.
Whether you're converting a 10x10 bedroom, organizing a single-car garage, or looking for safe equipment for older adults, our expert guides help you build a raw, effective gym that is uniquely yours.
Home Gym Foundry
Most home gym guides assume you have a 3-car garage and a $5,000 budget. Home Gym Foundry is different.
We write for people with real constraints — a 10x10 spare bedroom, a 70-year-old body recovering from knee surgery, or a college student with $200 to spend. Our guides are specific, practical, and built from experience.
Whether you're converting a single-car garage, setting up a fall-proof exercise space for a parent, or building a DIY sandbag for under $15, we've got a step-by-step guide for it.
