“The gym is coming together, and I am using this every day except Sundays.”
— Mike Martins

YouTubers, Mike Martins here! The home gym is finally coming together, and I'm getting to the point where there's really no excuse anymore — it's time to get back in shape!
I've been working on this setup piece by piece, and now I'm almost finished. I've got one more motivational piece to put up on the wall, inspired by Pumping Iron and the classic Mr. Olympia era of the 1970s.
I'm already seeing some progress too. I used to weigh around 215 pounds, and now I'm down around 200. My goal is approximately 180 pounds, where I think I'll be comfortable while still keeping a bigger, bulkier look.
I worked out for years when I was younger, stopped for quite a while, and now I'm getting back into the routine. Having the equipment right here at home makes a huge difference. No driving across town, no waiting for equipment — just walk downstairs and get the workout done.
The plan is to use this gym every day except Sunday and see where this takes me.
This is another part of my Living the Dream series as I continue settling into the house, working on projects and building the kind of lifestyle I wanted when I left Vancouver.
And don't panic when you suddenly see a pile of car videos on the channel! 😂 I'm heading to the Auto Show on Wednesday, and once a year I like putting up a bunch of car reviews and walkthroughs.
The home gym is nearly finished. Now it's time to actually use it!
