My bro in law is opening a MMA training center and we are trying to build everything we can for low startup costs. Since i will be updating this thread as we get further along and it involves things used or built for the gym it seems fitting to me that this is in the gear section
this place is above a auto repair center and was and still is a mess but we are making progress
first the take down area.
we built one long half wall to close it up and also so people could stand over the side and watch the action. We started with the cheap puzzle mats at costco and they were 9 dollars a pack and doubled them up on the floor and on the bottom edges of the wall. then we got these 5x10 mats at dicks sports and hung them on the walls they were 99 dollars each and we needed 7 of them. We was gonna get a custom mat made but at 1600 plus shipping thats not in the budget yet so i found these nice thick puzzle mats on Craigslist for 15 dollars a piece from a closed down karate studio, we just havent laid them down yet.
The bags in this area can all be pushed up into the corners out of the way with a chain to make more room.
