Who is behind Garage Gym Products
James Kosur started Garage Gym Products in 2020 after losing 70 pounds and setting out to build a home gym with everything a commercial gym offers, in a fraction of the space. The equipment we review goes through our garage testing setup, and it is swapped out regularly as new gear comes in.
