I might have to switch to training in my garage in the near future. I already own some equipment, but I am interested in the other opinions what the most effective use of a small space is and what equipment is absolutely necessary, multiple use, effective and or just plain fun to own.

Here's the list of things I already own in order of importance to me:

  • barbell + weights
  • jump rope
  • airbike
  • sandbag
  • wall ball
  • adjustable kettlebell
  • dumbbells (hex 15kg, 22.5kg, but I'd upgrade to an adjustable one)
  • resistance bands
  • torque tank m1 (a quiet magnetic resistance sled, so you don't annoy neighbors)
  • box (for box jumps, squats, other accessory)

I also consider buying:

  • rower
  • drop pads
  • some type of squat rack with a pull up bar

What do you use most often or consider essential in any other way in a garage gym?

You can check athlean x XY excercises ranked vidoes eg Shoulders almost always there is a cable excercise very high in the ranking. You can also train sides in isolation, when you spot for example that your left side is weaker than your right side.

I like to use the tower for pull throughs like kettlebell swings just with more stabilitiy because of the cable. Also you can train your shins by attaching the cable to your feet and pull the feets towards your knee. Helps with kneeproblems.

Also you can train your adductors and gluteus medius which also can help with knee problems.

All with the idea to help improving the bigger lifts.
