Transcript

I'm turning my basement into a home gym on a $1000 budget. This is my basement and in this back corner the owners left us this stationary bike which got me thinking that this back corner could be such a good home gym area. My plan for this whole basement is I want to paint it like a dark charcoal gray almost. And then I was thinking for this back corner I could get those wall panels. I found like a wallpaper version which is a little bit more affordable. Today I found a treadmill in the exact brand that I was looking for on Facebook Marketplace for only $200 so we're off to a really good start. Need to get the wallpaper up, do that kind of like rubber gym floor, a couple of dumbbells, resistance bands, and then a mirror and I think that's all I would need.
