How Did It All Start?

How Did It All Start?

My name is John Greaves III and I’ve been a home gym owner for more than 20 years. I recognize that being a home gym owner can be lonely and without other gym members around you, it’s sometimes tough to get motivated to train. Plus, after the initial excitement of training wears off, it can be tough know how to structure your training. How do you prevent injury, what do you do if you hit a plateau? What do you do if you do get injured? These are all questions that I’ve wrestled with since 2001.

My wife, Naomi, and I started Garage Gym Life in 2016 to help home gym owners feel connected to the international home gym community and to provide you with the information you need to make the right decisions for you and to help you succeed in achieving your fitness goals while training at home.
