A couple have built their dream home gym on a budget of just $2,000 (£1,500).

Gianna Cestone and her partner Nicholas Pagluice spent three weeks transforming the basement of her home.

The 27-year-old managed to find what she needed using Facebook Marketplace and Amazon.

With help from Nicholas Pagluice, 32, Gianna began by painting the entire room, including the ceiling, black.

They laid down floor mats, which cost them $419 in total.

For their workouts, they purchased a squat rack, costing them just under $500, and a dumbbell rack for $108, from Amazon.

They also invested in a barbell for $96 and found a set of dumbbells on Facebook Marketplace for $300.

After a trip to Walmart, Gianna, who is from Scranton, Pennsylvania, and is now living in Illinois, picked up a workout bench for $58 and bumper plates for $160.

Finishing touches included LED strip lighting and ceiling lighting which came to $105, and a large full-length mirror for $84.

For the perfect gym ambience, they also grabbed an LED lamp for $32.

“Creating a cool home gym on a budget is definitely possible with some research and strategic shopping,” Gianna told What’s The Jam.

“By utilising resources like Facebook Marketplace, Amazon, Home Depot, and Walmart, you can find great deals on essential equipment and supplies.

“I took one week to look on Pinterest for inspiration, and to look for affordable gym equipment.

“ It took us about two weeks to fully complete it, so in total, including preparation, it took us about three weeks.”

Gianna works as a full-time content creator and likes to post videos of her workouts online.

The gyms where she lives in Illinois don’t allow users to film, so she and Nicholas decided to build their own.

Both were extremely pleased with the way that it turned out.

Gianna said: “We are very pleased with the result! I just wish we had more space, but we love the way it turned out.”

“We use it about five times per week. We would like to add more mirrors and maybe perfect the lighting to it eventually.

“With a little effort, you can build a functional and stylish home gym without breaking the bank.”

After sharing various posts about their home gym build online, Gianna’s followers love the look of her workout space.

Many were shocked at how little everything cost.

One user wrote: “Loving this I need to find some deals like this.”

Dej commented: “This is called smart shopping cause it looks more like 5k but it wasn’t ! That’s a flex lol.”

“That was not 2k,” said Ralph.

Maddy said: “Yk that you did way too good under the 2k budget when no one believes you.”
