Unfortunately in most of the Bay Area, even just the floor space to have anything remotely usable as a home gym would cost many hundreds of dollars per month.

- dataflow 5y agoI think the point here was "see if you might already have enough space to spare", not "get extra space for the sake of a home gym".
- jjeaff 5y agoAnd the next commenter's point is that space is so expensive in SF, that no one just has an extra room on hand that they don't already use.
- dataflow 5y agoThe Bay Area is way bigger than SF, and it said "space", not "dedicated room". Obviously not everybody will have any room whatsoever but some folks in the Bay will be able to spare a bit.
- kornhole 5y agoThis takes creativity. Gymnast rings cost ~$10 which you can hang from a tree branch. Someone gave me a barbell, but I had no weights. So I screwed rings into some heavy logs and am now deadlifting ~400lbs. I get to do all this in my bikini in the sun while maintaining my garden between sets. I look like a fitness model and spent about $30 on my yard gym.
- dunefox 5y agoIf you can afford to live there you can surely afford weights, but the space for storing logs (of all things) just isn't practical.
