Garage Gym of the Week: Jennifer
- What’s your name? Jennifer
- How old are you? 42 (pretty much)
- Do you have an Instagram handle or website? @Miss_fit_biker
- Tell us a little bit about yourself: I'm a mom, wife, full time working lady, wanna be athlete.
- How would you describe your training style? Crossfit mostly these days, on days I bike commute to work I do more traditional lifting so I have energy to ride to work.
- How would you describe your fitness/strength level, currently? Constant work in progress.
- What are your fitness/strength goals? I want to be stronger, faster. Basically if the zombie apocalypse were to happen - zombies are on the losing end.
- Describe your garage gym. My gym is my favorite place in my house. Its like my church, my sacred ground. It has the best of everything I used at my old traditional gym only I don't have to listen to people slam weights or wait for the squat rack.
- Who works out in your garage gym? Just me, and my son when I coax him into a workout to earn video game time. My husband likes the structure and motivation of the local crossfit gym.
- Why did you build a garage gym? A few reasons, I didn't want to drive every morning to and from the gym. I don't like to socialize when I work out. I sweat, stink and sometimes break into dance when a good song comes on. All of which I see as solitary activities.
- What’s your favorite piece of equipment in your garage? Probably my W2 barbell.
- What piece of equipment was a waste? Honestly I don't have a huge budget, what I have has been bought piece by piece or purchased because I sold something else, everything has been carefully picked.
- What’s the next piece of equipment you’re going to get? I would like to get a pull sled or a climbing rope setup, a timer would be nice.
- Any dream piece of equipment? Nope, as long as I have heavy stuff to lift repeatedly I'm golden.
- How did you build your garage gym? Over the last couple years, a piece here a piece there. Got my rower and my box jump used.
- Do you have any tips for anyone else looking to build a garage gym? If you buy it, use it...keep moving!
