What does your training routine in your home gym usually look like?

I train four to five days a week across three dedicated spaces in my home, each one built around a specific purpose:

• The Iron Sanctum (Garage Bay 3) — Upper-body headquarters for pressing, chest, delts, and triceps.

• The Peach Throne Room (Garage Bays 1 & 2) — Lower-body kingdom for squats, hip thrusts, leg curls, and adductor work.

• The Skyloft (Upstairs Loft) — Pull and cardio zone for rows, pullovers, and conditioning.

• The Slumbering Lair (Master Bedroom) — Recovery and meditation zone for yoga, Pilates, and stretching.

Every session blends hypertrophy and performance work, high volume, strict tempo, and constant tension.

Why so many zones in your home gym?

It’s not just a gym. It’s a sanctuary.

I’m a father, husband, and entrepreneur. My schedule is chaos. Having GMWD stations spread across my home means I can train between client calls, family time, and events. It’s not about convenience, it’s about discipline and consistency.

Which machines are your favorites and why?

The machine that gets the most love is the Scissor-Style Lat Pulldown — a masterpiece, you can hit your lats from angles no cable station can touch.

Runner-up, the V7 Chest/Shoulder Press. The versatility is unreal. My wife Sandra and I both use it constantly. It’s the workhorse of the Iron Sanctum.

I’m also excited about the WJ00 Bicep/Tricep machine, which will headline my YouTube channel. I want people to see that home gyms can look and perform like elite-level training facilities, and GMWD is both the visual anchor and functional backbone.

Any final advice for someone building their own home gym?

Start with functionality over flash and don’t chase trends, chase utility. Pick machines that hit multiple angles, load efficiently, and last.

A good foundation is the basics: dumbbells, bench, barbell squat rack. If space allows, add a few core pieces covering push, pull, lower body, and isolation work. Then build outward based on your goals.

Space-wise, map the room before you buy. Every square foot counts. I designed my setup so each GMWD piece fits like part of a system, smooth workflow, no wasted motion.

If your equipment inspires you to show up daily, that’s the real win.
