Home Gym Builds by Space & Budget
The flagship section. Complete build plans organized as a two-axis matrix: budget tier ($0-100, $100-300, $300-800) crossed with space type (apartment, small room, garage). Each build is a checklist-style shopping list with an itemized cost breakdown, floor footprint, and noise considerations, not a narrative review. This group owns the 'what should I buy for my situation' task and is the primary landing point for space-constrained shoppers. It excludes single-product deep dives (those live in Equipment Comparisons) and excludes workout programming (that lives in Space-Efficient Workout Routines), but links to both from every build.
