(0:00) Intro
This week we have a few quick hitters talking about the Assault Bike, “specialty bar” storage, and the new Bridge Built adjustable bench. Then, we’ll discuss a typically repeated survey each season, which revolves around the “issues” we face as home gym owners. There are two “issues” that are easily the biggest problems that home gym owners face.

(12:25) Comparison to the Summer
- In general, the overall “issues” did get smaller. For example, last summer 15% of the votes were for “large issues,” wheras this time around it was only 8%.
- Several “issues” did get a bit larger – disctractions, lack of space, and price of obtaining equipment.
- However, most issues did improve. Working out safely, equipment aging quickly, finishing home workouts, and not enough lighting were not seen as big as issues.
That’s it!
