Punching bag 🥊 

 Yes, got one! 

 power rack

rower  

 Yes, got a rack ✅, I wish I could do a rower. It tears up my back 

 sorry to hear. rowing, for me, is cathartic.  

 I like it too, but bad lower back in try to fix with strength 😞 

 Have you ever heard of, or used, a reverse hyper? Supposed to do wonders for the lower back. Here's a collapsable one:

 Thanks, I had not but will look into this! 

 was going to say rower also, if that doesnt work, assault bike - aka the devils bicycle ? 

 Great add 

 Before I answer...what's the goal of your or your families fitness? Strength, cardio health? Mix?...etc... 

 Family fitness and everyday stength 

 A cable machine is a good balance. Will give you lots of options without the concern for younger exercisers to drop weights on their feet. depending in size,multistation setup might be great. I'd also get one with a dip bar and pull up bar - mandatory, so you don't need to add other equipment 

You might spend more in one machine, but it'll go further. Just my opinion. Either way, enjoy time with the family! 

 Thank you! 

 A farm would be the best all around for fitness and strengthening but that probably won't fit your garage. I'm always partial to rock climbing stuff like hang boards or build a campus board, maybe a bouldering wall?  

 Farm is on the list eventually 😂

I like the idea of hanging and climbing stuff. Need to figure out how to incorporate that 

 Bar
big stack of plates (get 3x the small plates you think you want and half the wheels)
Rack / cage
Adjustable bench

Everything else is a waste of space. Mountain bike > assault bike. Sidewalks > treadmill... 

 This is kind of where I am now. Minimalist gym but thinking of things for kids and wife too 

 Preteens don't need "equipment". Put them on a bike, and convince them climbing trees is fun. Real life should supply most or all of their exercise needs.

Our weekly family ride is the highlight of all of weeks. Quality,screen free time, fresh air, sunshine. There is absolutely nothing negative about it. 

 We do those things now, thinking I'll add a climbing wall in here and they do pull ups now 

 Weight bench with adjustable angles.  Figure you already have a few weights.

 Flooring.  Assuming you have concrete, check out https://directcolors.com/ they’re having a sale.  Not affiliated with them nor make anything off it.  I did my concrete patio and it looks fantastic.  For garage floor I would stay away from solvent based, go with Colorwave (low VOC’s), followed by a sealer.  Their customer service is great too.  Makes it look fantastic.

I know that may not be the suggestion you were looking for but, it’s a nice element for garages or outdoor concrete.  Peace, love and stack sats in humility.
