In this year’s CrossFit Open, we’ve seen many athletes completing the workouts in their home and garage gyms. The CrossFit affiliate community is unmatched in its supportive and encouraging nature, but sometimes life gets in the way of being able to get into the gym consistently. Having a home gym can help keep you on track with your health and fitness goals when visiting your local affiliate isn’t an option.
Rogue Fitness has everything you need to build a complete home or garage gym, whether you’re looking for something simple or a full setup. Visit roguefitness.com to design and plan your gym using the Zeus Gym Builder. Select your room template, adjust to your dimensions, then drop in your Rogue gear to see a 2D and 3D rendering of your space.
Planning Your Gym: Questions to Ask Yourself
How Much Space Do I Have?
- Look at your floor layout and note the ceiling height.
- Will what I need fit in my space? Consider a rack, squat stand, pull-up bar, and barbell.
- Can I bolt to the floor and walls?
- Can I safely perform movements?
- Do I need dedicated storage?
- Check out Rogue Space Savers for ideas on how to utilize a small space.
What Are the Essentials?
- What do I need/want?
- What movements do I want to be able to do? (e.g., I may not want to do muscle-ups at home, but would still like to do pull-ups.)

What Is My Budget and Do I Plan To Expand?

Comments on How to Build a Home Gym With Rogue
I am building a space for home CrossFit gym.
- Rack
- Row
- Echo
- KB (some)
- DB (some)
- Floor space for 2-3 people
what size floor do I need? Do you have any layout examples?
Our garage/gym space has a slight grade to it. Obviously a flat surface is ideal. Are there any out of the box solutions for this like graded mats?
Ryan - A lot of work, but I did this to my garage platform and it worked great. Good luck to you - https://youtu.be/pUBWdibCsNE?si=v1kG7CVFhFDYjNiW
