Quick question, is this a viable option? It’s about a so-called power rack and a bench for bench pressing. Is the utility room a suitable space for this? Surely better than an unheated attic or garage? What do you think?

Sliding the barbell into the rack (it’s 2.2 meters (7.2 feet) long, so you quickly hit the wall). And the ceiling height! The overhead press hits the ceiling, at least with my height (187 cm (6'2")).

Jochen is probably not referring to a device that should be outside, but to real movement, which the house itself encourages. Exactly!

By the way, many people plan a kind of multipurpose room for hobbies, sports, PC use, and other activities. Most call it an office 😉 Alternatively, it can be used as a child’s room, as long as not all planned children have arrived yet. Once the house is full, you probably won’t find much time for sports at home anyway.

At least on one side, there should be enough space to easily take out the barbell, so you don’t always have to position it diagonally. I do deadlifts in front of the rack; otherwise, I would have to remove the safety bars every time. I need to measure everything soon.

Many people set up a home gym without having seriously trained before. Then they have an elliptical trainer and a cheap multi-gym strength station. Of course, that doesn’t work out.
An office, for example, is unnecessary—you have that at work. A desk doesn’t need its own room.
