Feeling like you want to build your home gym? Well…you do NOT need a garage full of brand new equipment, or every shiny fitness gadget social media tells you to buy. 


You definitely don't need to believe the BS that says you can only build muscle or progressively overload in a gym, either. You can totally build an amazing body from home - you just need the right equipment that you’ll actually use!


In today’s episode, I'm breaking down the five things I would prioritize if I were building a home gym from scratch. But…having the *right* equipment isn't enough. If you want to build muscle at home, you still need to progressively overload, choose effective exercises, and train with intention! 


And…if you’re ready to stop guessing and figure out what your body actually needs, I’d love for you to join me September 28-30th, 2026, for my 3-Day Nutrition + Training Workshop. We’ll take everything we've been talking about on the podcast recently and put it into action for YOU. Can’t wait to see you there!!
