Meet Bruno Aburto- Lifting Since 8th Grade & Passing It Along To His Sons!

What's Your Name?

Bruno Aburto

Do you have a name for your gym?

Aburto Fitness

Tell us a little about yourself - what you do when you aren't lifting, what are your other hobbies, etc.

When I'm not lifting, I'm either working from home as a cybersecurity consultant or spending time with my wife and 3 kids.

What made you decide to create the best garage gym ever?

I've loved lifting since 8th grade when my buddies and I would do as many pull-ups as we could during recess and lunch. I lifted weights while part of the high school football team and during my time in the Navy. I created the best garage gym ever so I could continue my health and fitness journey and pass on my years of knowledge to my sons.

What gear do you have in your gym?

· Progear 1600 Power Rack

· Gold's Gym XRS 20 Adjustable Bench

· CAP Olympic Barbell

· Fitness Gear Cast Iron Weight Plates

· Bowflex SelectTech 552 Adjustable Dumbbells

When did you become part of the Fringe Fam? What was your first Fringe purchase?

I'm saving up to purchase the Fringe Sport Black Bumper Plate Set.

What's your favorite gear that you use all the time?

I feel the best pump when I'm training my biceps, so I would have to say the EZ Curl Bar.

What gear do you never use?

I purchased a Manta Ray squat pad to use when I squat, but I never use it.

What was your best gear purchase?

Hands down the power rack.

What gear purchase do you wish you would have said "NO" to?

Foam gym flooring when I first started purchasing gym equipment.

What's your favorite workout?

My pull day alternates between pull-ups and deadlifts for back compound movement and EZ bar curls and dumbbell incline curls for biceps.

What's the best advice you've ever received?

"Discipline Equals Freedom" - Jocko Willink

What advice would you give to newbie garage gymmers?

Stay on a budget, but don't buy cheap quality stuff. "Buy nice or buy twice."
