Ryan Libbey's Home Gym
Ryan Libbey put his family’s health and wellbeing first by creating a dedicated self-care sanctuary in their home.
"Building a home gym has been a goal since starting weight training at the age of 17. In 2019 we set up Turtle Method – our online fitness community that reaches thousands of women from all over the world."
"In 2021, our son Leo-Hunter was born, unfortunately not a straightforward delivery – one which has left some physical and emotional scars on both my partner Louise and me. The concept of a home gym was a dream, then it became a necessity. I knew it would provide a space for filming workouts, hosting seminars and photo opportunities, but even more than that, it would provide a sanctuary for Louise to start her recovery and a safe space to build on her confidence."
"As for me, it provides an escape, still within the house, but a chance to stay in touch with my identity as someone who loves to train, whilst adjusting to the new role of a parent and all the responsibilities it entails."
"Eleiko was the only brand we considered. It has long reigned as the best in the industry, so we aimed high and invested into our health and business. It was the best decision we ever made, and it has become one of, if not the, favourite room in the house." – Ryan Libbey, Co-Founder of Turtle Method.
Small but mighty, Ryans home gym setup comprises a Prestera Half Rack strength training station, barbell and sport training plates, complete with neatly integrated storage housing a range of training tools including Competition kettlebells, Evo dumbbells, medicine balls and more.
