Too each his own but I workout in my garage year round and it gets cold as 💩 in winter and hot as hell in summer. It is what it is suck it up buttercups
only problem with stall mats is they REEK FOREVER. i have one outside, for over a year, still putting off that rubber smell. that's not just smell, it's VOCs. and while some people can handle those, some of us get sick, headaches, etc. diesel and gas burnoff can get me too. it's annoying because there's stuff i don't mind the smell of, but will get wicked sick from. like, my dad and uncle always did mechanics, and i associate the smell of oil, and a shop with good things. BUT can no longer handle some of it without migraine pending. *foam mats suck compared to rubber, but if they are older they will offgass and be good.* got a set from play it again sports, no smell. the newer ones i ordered direct from the company do, but i expect they'll offgass and be done. it's still the best option for people that can't handle the VOCs. if you have $$$ though, get virgin rubber flooring. it just means it's not made from like, recycled tires and stuff. it's less processed, less glue and substances to hold it together. rubber itself (like from the plant) doesn't initially really have a smell.
That's what those smells are huh I always wondered we got a rug for the baby's playroom and it smells like that volatile organic compounds. Had to let it sit out for a week in the spring and the smell was still there it's been a few months now and it's losing that smell
@@GarageGymTips They’d have to run a new line going into my garage cause if I turned the one white neutral wire to a hot wire all the 120 volts would have too much power going to them.
@@MarcoLiftz if gonna use it a lot, it’s worth it. I would have had to do the same if my electrical panel was inside the house. Not the worst thing tho
@@GarageGymTips yes I need it for my garage gym it’s cold here in north west Indiana. Before I was so dedicated I didn’t even care about the cold. But I haven’t worked out in months and I don’t want it to be so cold when I go down to workout
most heat is lost through your head, so a good beanie/skully/insulated hat will work wonders.

The stall mat smell goes away fast. Sick it up
Great tips!
Appreciate it 🔥
I don’t mind getting a forced air heater but I don’t think my circuit breaker can handle it. Any tips for that situation??
Man I don’t have a 240v switch in my garage I’ve done some electrical work but that’s too much for me to put one in. Lol
I ended up hiring it out but I will say it is worth it. Preferred to have it done quick and right
@@GarageGymTips hell yea bro I looked it up says they’ll charge around $300 not too bad.
