I built a home gym during COVID, and thinking about selling it and going back to a commercial gym. Sounds crazy, but I was actually better with an off-site routine, and I'd also like access to a pool after shoulder surgery.

What's the general consensus on selling a gym? Piecemeal it out, or try to sell it all in bulk? It's alot of nice stuff (probably $5k worth), but I dread the idea of dealing with the Facebook marketplace crazies.

I appreciate any suggestions!

Start on TexAgs.

With gym equipment it doesn't seem like people are as crazy on marketplace. It's a pretty niche market, so it shouldn't be too painful. Maybe joining a FB group around home gyms would be a good starting point there.

I am slowly starting a gym build, so I'd be all ears myself.

I wonder if I sell some of the big pieces, if that would make it harder to sell off the other smaller stuff.

Maybe I'll start posting individual items and see what gets traction. I'm in CS, so I'd probably have to focus on local market, maybe Houston just because the weight makes it pickup only.

Basic list:

Titan X3 Flat Foot 91" rack w/ spotter arms and pulley system
200# of Rogue Fleck Bumpers
Rogue Ohio Power Bar - Black Cerakote
REP AB-5100 Adjustable bench
PowerBlock Elite EXP adjustable dumbbells
Concept2 RowErg rower
Bunch of accessories - collars, rings, straps, trap bar, etc.

I'll post a link on here when I start pricing it out (whole system and separate items)

Peace mailing it is more likely to net, you more money, that's for sure. It's also going to be a bigger headache.

If you are in college Station or one of the big cities listing it, here is a great idea, but but honestly Facebook marketplace is probably the best bet.

And I completely understand the desire to go back to a commercial gym. I did the same thing during Covid and I have to admit I miss going to the gym.

How much you want for the Concept2 rower and how did you use it? Might be interested.

I may have interest in the Ohio bar depending on condition and what you're trying to get out of it.

I need to look around some more on the rower. It was over $1000 new, and it's barely used only 75000 meters). Probably will ask $850.

I'll take pictures of everything and post them.

It's an all black cerakote Ohio bar. If it isn't in mint condition, it's about as close as you could get. $350 new, I'd probably look to get $250 for pickup.

Where are you?

College Station

Definitely interested in the bar, if its easier to email me at username that works for me.

I sold old and dilapidated equipment on Facebook marketplace. Some of it was junk that I was just happy people hauled off. But you gotta set a dollar amount, just to keep the riff-raff away.

I also was very careful not to let randos in my house to see other stuff. About six months ago, i sold a Smith Machine. About 3 months ago, I sold a treadmill that the incline didn't work was full of acorns squirrels had put in there - it was in my barn. I sold a bench yesterday for $10.

I put the equipment outside when they said they were coming so they didn't come in my house. Requires a bit of moving if they don't buy it, but most stuff was bought by the first person that showed up. Take cash only and put that in your ad.

I currently have an old squat rack listed for $50.

Going to start a new thread with some pictures and pricing. Thanks!
