Introduction
Whether on the Home Gym Roundtables or Instagram, I’ve been a big fan of Jason (@man_who_parks_in_gym) and Mark (@flex.marks.the.spot). They’re incredibly knowledgeable about the home gym space and never shy away from sharing their opinions.
When they launched their podcast, I was hooked immediately and binged their episodes right away.
After they released a few episodes, I reached out to see if they’d be interested in joining Garage Gym Radio.
A deal was made, and they’re now part of the channel!
Since the “hostile takeover,” four episodes of The Home Gym Podcast have been released, which you can find below.
Please note that they are only available on YouTube at the moment, but the plan is to also make them available on podcast platforms soon.
