Looking to set up a complete home gym… where should I shop?

[Hanssen1]

Hey have any of you set up a full gym in your house? If so, do you have any company in particular that you like to get most of your equipment from?

I'm looking to get enough equipment that I can knock out a total body workout, and have plenty of variety in exercises that I don't get bored. I don't want to be limited by home gym, but I also don't want to spend too much… so, I figured if I bought a bunch from one place, maybe I could get a discount or at least save on shipping, you know?

Plus, you wouldn't suggest a company if their equipment sucks… so, let me know. Like Gym Source seems like a decent site, and they have a lot of the equipment I was looking to get, I'm just not sure about their prices and service.

I'm going to keep looking around, but let me know what you guys think.

This is the sort of stuff you could be getting for a good all round home setup, which I posted for someone else a while back..

1x 10kg, (22lb), free bar

2x 2kg, (4.4lb), mini bars

4x locking collars

2x 10kg, (22lb), weight discs

4x 5kg, (11lb), weight discs

4x 2kg or 2.5kg, (4.4lb or 5.5lb, depending on the manufacturer), weight discs

4 x 1kg or 1.25kg, (2.2lb or 2.75lb, depending on the manufacturer), weight discs

4x 0.5kg, (1.1lb), weight discs.

A weight lifting bench preferably with risers to keep the bar on and an inclining back rest.

A squat rack, though if this represented too much of a cost issue there are alternatives to barbell squatting, so it wouldn't be a must have, but a very beneficial thing.

Optional things include two rubber tubes, a medicine ball and a swiss ball
