    I actually prefer my home gym to have dimmed light. When it’s so bright I feel like it’s too sterile. Dimmed or natural light really help me get in the mood and enjoy my workout. I also have the walls painted a darker color and the whole atmosphere is really great.

    I'm in my early 50s and started lifting back in the "grungier", darker gym period(mid 1980s.) The idea of the very bright and sterile gym doesn't appeal to me. On the other hand I've always had a lot of posters and other things attached to the walls to give my basement a certain look and feel.

    Lighting upgrade is huge. I had individual bulbs that hung down. Couldn't do overhead movements with them. Swapped for some recessed lighting for like 20 bucks and it's been a game changer. Looks better and can comfortably go overhead. Also, a good sound system/speaker makes a huge difference.

    🔴 Bolt Covers - My rack is black with “chrome” bolts. I thought the bolts were ugly and considered painting them black so they wouldn’t be as noticeable. But I went with red vinyl bolt caps which match the accent color of the rack accessories. They also prevent chafing/cutting of the henny strap. The vinyl caps were 19 cents each on Amazon.

    ​@@JoshR324 YT has been eating my replies with links. Search for "uxcell 50pcs Rubber End Caps 17mm ID Vinyl Vinyl Round Tube Bolt Cap Cover Screw Thread Protectors Red" It took a bit of measuring to find the right diameter for my bolts. You'll want a snug fit. And a bit of counting to find all the bolts to cover. I needed 56 actually. But these were too long so I had to cut them down to the right length for the bolt ends and the various depths of the nut ends. Then I hot glued them so they'd stay on and not pop off. It was more work than I expected, but adds a bit of snazz and protects my strap from getting chafed/cut. Good luck!

    You should do a series of viewer gyms. It could be a couple of videos dedicated to viewer gyms, but when many folks would be left behind. You could do a couple every video as an ongoing part of your videos. I've read some of the comments and it seems to have a vast array of opinions, looks, and feels. Some like bright and airy while some like a darker feel. I'm walling off part of my garage so it can be insulated and climate controlled without dumping all of the A/C out the garage door as that is our primary mode of entry. (The garage is on the side of the house and thus a much more convenient route of entry.) We never open the other garage door as it doesn't have an opener and it's further from the interior garage door. The thing about lighting I've rolled around in my head is not putting light directly over the rack so you're not staring directly into the light while benching. I do like daylight color temperature to wake me up. I haven't decided on a color scheme, tho. My biggest issue is I'm confined to an 11' x 24' space with 104" ceilings. I have to put a full rack and associated lifting space in with the cardio AND storage. I'm not keen on putting the rack width-wise as that limits plate access on the bar. I also have two windows that limit where I can put things. It's a struggle. It's like playing Tetris with heavy shit.

I did think maybe I could change them seasonally like old ladies do on their front porches.
