Yeah I actually use a laptop on my workbench and just have the TV on when I am in there doing men's stuff.

I just finished the basement and workout area today. I hope this pays off since I had 8 months of very little fitness do to doing all this work myself.

Finally got the VASA to complete the pain cave.

You have too much money

Wow

What are you using for flooring? I'm liking what you have going on over there.

I got nothing.

My flooring is that really hard rubber that you'll find in most commercial weight rooms. It comes in about 3ft strips and I believe its glued down. So far it's been great. Easy cleanup and no no scuff marks.

Is that real hardwood that you've used for your floor?

I'm having issues with the moisture from running causing slight issues with my flooring, despite using gym quality rubber mats under my trainer and treadmill.

Curious as to what other people have experienced and what they do?

I used Vinyl plank flooring. I have a dehumidifier that is set to 50% humidity and also leave my fans on for 1 hour after my workouts to dry up my puddle of sweat.

Good to know.

Thought about a dehumidifier as I thought it might help and will also need to get a better fan so I make less sweat in the first place.

Not as much of an issue in the fall and winter as with the cooler temperatures and an open window, there are fewer and smaller puddles after workouts.

Who makes those shelves? I have something similar from Lowe's but I do not think they make drawers for mine. Those are awesome!

Would you mind sharing the brand of the toolbox in the back left? I have one, but the drawers
are not equal in size. I like the one you have.

thanks

You must live in a warm area of the country because that garage looks to have no insulation at all and appears to be made out of metal siding?

I think my garage fits in with your definition of a pain cave....old unused tube version TVs included.













Real men use an old, moldy cardboard box which has been soaked with gallons of sweat through months of use as an exercise matt......now that I think I about it I should replace it with a newer box.

Just bought an unassembled 1980ish weider squat rack/bench press w weights (kilograms not pounds hahaha) for $50 off craigslist. Some parts are missing and i'm in process of locating them so I can complete my master gym.




They added aprons to all the garages in our entire apartment complex recently and everyone had to leave their garage door open for a couple hours. I got a good gander into everyone's garage and I do in fact have the shittiest looking one in the entire apt complex.

are those computrainers?

1 Computrainer and 1 kinetic Road Machine. We do most our training with PerfPro so it works well.
Still looking for a good deal on a 2nd computrainer though!

I am in the fortunate position of just having purchased my first home.

Due to the driveway that would fit 5 cars in it... I dont feel having a garage for the car is required. As such... pain cave incoming!!

It's a 1.5 car garage, roller door front, concrete floor... Ive taken great inspiration from this thread, but would like to pick your brains in case I forgot something!

List me the top 5-10 things you feel would be necessary in a pain cave! (which will also double as sports gear storage, bike workshop - so things like a locker for wetsuits can be included)

While it pales in comparison to some on this forum, here is my version of a pain cave. More like a kid cave with a very small corner for me. Just had the basement finished and with a long winter ahead (1-2 feet of snow projected tomorrow night), I'm looking forward to putting in some hours down here. Plenty of room for some free weights/stretching, a spot for my bike, and a full bathroom.

Where are you based? We just got a ton of snow last weekend and it was a very quick transition to indoor training :(

MUAHAAHAHAHAHAHA! Just trolling.

Just south of Buffalo NY. Makes for a long winter when it starts snowing in November and doesn't quit until April!

1) trainer
2) fans
3) TV monitor
4) sound system so you can lower noise level and listen to music or TV over ear buds (fan and trainer noise = hearing loss over time)
5) place to hang bikes
6) locker or cabinet for bike related gear, shoes, etc
7) workstand and bench
8) strategically placed non slip mats for bike cleats
9) water bottle, remote, fan control, towel rack or holder
10) inspirational posters, wall art, medal or shirt display
11) mat for stretching, rolling, yoga, etc.
12) refrigerator

have fun.

More like the pain corner, now that we had the basement finished for the kids, but at least it is brighter and cleaner than it was.

My first post here and it includes my little slice of heaven in my basement. It is all the room that I have left down there, with all the kid's stuff and storage space being used. Sorry for the poor quality. I guess its time to clean my phone. There are more bikes off to the side that take up a lot of space as well. This is just the work area/spot where the Kickr is set up.
