I am sharing my journey on how to create a basement gym on a tight budget here in Ottawa. I started with just a set of resistance bands and a pull up bar and I have slowly been adding pieces as I find them on sale.

My biggest tip is to not buy everything at once. Start with the basics and see what you actually use before spending more. I also found that building some of my own equipment like a wooden bench saved me a lot of money.

What are your best tips for saving money on a gym build? I am trying to show people that fitness does not have to be expensive if you are willing to do a bit of work yourself. I would love to hear your success stories for a low cost setup!
