About Garage Gym Reviews
Garage Gym Reviews is the premier online resource for those who train at home. Whether you have a garage gym, home gym, basement gym, backyard gym, or any other variation, our goal is to provide you with the information and motivation you need to continue doing so at an optimal level.
The site was founded by Cooper Mitchell (also known as Coop) in 2014. The site has gone through four iterations, each one becoming more complex and comprehensive.
The site you’re currently navigating has been custom built from the ground floor and is the result of overt passion and seeing a need in the market.
At Garage Gym Reviews, we specialize in providing unbiased, in-depth articles on everything fitness related. In addition, we offer the ability for users to build their own setup and show it off to the community. Garage gym owners train at home, but that doesn’t mean they’re alone in their efforts.

Our Expert Panel
We have a substantial network of health and fitness experts who help our team at Garage Gym Reviews. They provide us with scientific data, research and their expert opinion on the articles we publish.
Diversity, Equity, Inclusion, and Belonging
At Garage Gym Reviews, our editorial team strives to create content that is inclusive and open to anyone who wants to improve their lifestyle through fitness and nutrition—regardless of age, race, sex, gender identity, physical ability, body type, or socioeconomic status. We’re committed to writing and publishing reviews on fitness equipment and supplements that fit the needs of every individual.
With every article we publish, our writers and editors ensure we’re serving our entire readership, rather than just a small slice of our audience. We aim to include products that fit a variety of budgets and lifestyles. When we review fitness equipment—whether it’s as large as a treadmill or as compact as a kettlebell—we analyze whether the product is accessible for people of varying ages, body types, and ability levels.
When appropriate, we consult with subject matter experts to gather feedback and commentary from people with different backgrounds than those of our writers and editors. We review our imagery and language through a lens of inclusion and accessibility, and we write with person-first language that affirms the individual’s unique experience and avoids stigmatization.
We recognize that building an equitable, inclusive community requires regular reflection and action. The Garage Gym Reviews team is committed to listening and learning while we continue to develop our unique voice and perspective. If you feel we have room to improve, please contact us with your feedback—we value your thoughts and want you to see yourself in our reviews and stories.
