Marcus Filly's Backyard Home Gym
Marcus Filly, 6x CrossFit competitor and founder of Revival Strength, transformed his California backyard and patio space into the ultimate functional bodybuilding and recovery paradise.
When the pandemic hit, restricting access to gyms, Marcus Filly got creative and utilized a free space –his own backyard – to create a feature-packed area for outdoor training.
Eleiko provided strength staples, such as a variety of barbells, plates, benches, racks, and rigs to outfit Marcus Filly’s backyard setup – providing versatile training in a compact footprint. The home gym features a galvanized squat rack with a pull-up bar and a galvanized rig with two squat stations, j-cups, pull-up bars, and adjustable bench. The galvanized finish assures protection from the elements as it is both rust-and-weather resistant.
My home gym has become so much more than just a place to weather the pandemic storm. With this equipment from Eleiko, my home training setup has transformed into a place of great inspiration, utility and beauty. I'm proud to show it off, excited to train here daily, and amazed at how much variety I'm able to implement.
Marcus customized the Eleiko rig with 12 ft uprights on one end, providing extra height to hang rings and ropes. To create a practical training environment, Eleiko also supplied storage solutions and 30 mm rubber flooring to protect the patio.
”I really like the galvanized pieces and the adjustable features on Eleiko’s products, such as the adjustable pull-up bar on the rig, the vertical barbell storage with joystick for rotational exercises, and the rotating handles, a rig attachment that can be adjusted for both narrow and wide pull-ups. It’s great to have the possibility to training at home when you don’t have access to the gyms as usual. I am able to do all types of training and recovery right from our backyard, which I am grateful for,” says Marcus Filly.
