If you have a garden or yard, then I guess there are a always the option of a small shed? Not the most salubrious of pain caves but I’ve seen plenty of people make it work 
What kind of wood is that on the wall? I’d like to do a similar thing
I do have a shed but it’s full of camping gear, lawnmower etc. I did consider it but there 's no electric in it and totally the wrong place to get electric. I may have to put my foot down, assert my authority over my household and tell the wife how it is. You know… .beg.
Basically any or all spaces that are currently “storage” otherwise known as junk, are your potential paincave sites. You just have to convince her that the junk is just junk…took me years.
I’ve cleared my crap from them but apparently she has no time to do hers. Apparently the children come first…
Don’t those monsters take care of themselves after a year or two? 
Pfft! Priorities!
I binned a bunch of stuff she would’ve wanted to keep but hadn’t seen in five years. The trick is, don’t tell her. 
Forgiveness > Permission 
WTG @DarthShivious - you absolutely win the internet today!
My gym dog is a Corgi. He is in the cave with me every single morning (then stays down there with my wife when she is on her Peloton). Dogs in the gym are great – but they do need to stay in a pen/kennel as you’ve done.
Don’t forget, there’s a fun place to see and share all your puppy love:
Lol. You should do standup comedy. I spent 3 years secretly disappearing stuff until she called me out on it. I was rumbled.
That is a neat looking space!
Thanks, I think that the baby high-chair gives it the personal touch…. 
I was impressed with the apple computer from back in the day. How old is that beast?
Also, is the highchair your “table” for workouts?
Jesus that’s huge! Get it done!
Cool thread. My takeaway here is that the best pain cave is one that’s permanent. I have a utility room that’s just a little rectangle off the dining room; fits the trainer and bike, stand for laptop, fan on the shelf, and it even has a window at the end.
The problem is that it’s also the laundry room, so it’s impossible for me to leave everything setup, and it’s probably the biggest impediment to using it more.
I think that’s a great observation. The best cave simply has to be one that provides the most friction-less start to your workout. Once you start, everything else just becomes a sea of ‘blue blocks’ on your monitor and a prayer that 30 seconds of ‘over’ is magically shorter than 30 seconds of ‘under’.
The puddle of sweat on the floor is just the same on a grungy outdoor shed with wooden planks as it is anywhere else.
I bought that Mac in 2000. it still works too. the internet isn’t good obviously but otherwise it doesn’t miss a beat as a DVD and music player. MS Office works of a fashion too.
It’s above the kids rooms so not great in the evenings noise wise and the missus raised the ladder without telling me the other day… I got onto it… I now need a new ladder.
I used to have to set up every time and that affected the spin down before smart trainers. I use the highchair as a table. The baby is no longer a baby (a argumentative 4yo.) it works a treat. I could do with a second fan. the room needs a tidy up TBH
I used to have an outside shelter in an old house. it was great in the winter in -3 degrees with steam coming off me.
Oh, as you can see the bike, Please can I have some opinion/advice. I’m unsure of the rules over bar extensions. The bars I have are parallel to the ground that I used for british time trialling. I’ve looked at British Triathlon rules but can’t find anything to say that they are not allowed or that upward angled bars are required. Can someone clarify this. I’m planning on doing two HIM and don’t want to be refused entry due to an avoidable technicality. Thanks.
