- What’s your favorite piece of equipment in your garage? Fringe Sports Contrast bumpers and my new Fringe Sports Sports Timer. My Rogue rack is solid too!
- What piece of equipment was a waste? Those big exercise balls for ab exercises; very big and cumbersome and take up much needed space.

- Any dream piece of equipment? I would love a rower
- How did you build your garage gym? I bought a garage gym package from Fringe for myself and my neighbors knew I was using them in the back yard. My neighbors knew I was a Personal Trainer and asked if I was interested in putting a program together for them; so I did. After that, I was so fortunate that some friends donated a bunch of equipment to me and I needed a place to put so I decided to build up my garage gym. Today, the garage gym has taken on a life of its own thanks to Fringe Sports and Rogue fitness.
- Do you have any tips for anyone else looking to build a garage gym? Ask friends and family if they have any equipment they are looking to get rid of. If you have the time to search Craigslist everyday you will eventually find great deals that you can't pass up. If you have a vision just go for it! Take a chance and never look back and have fun with it. #ZOOfitt
