@Sidi I don’t personally, but I can confirm there are plenty of awesome examples in the history of this thread that I have been envious of for quite a while.

Shed Gyms - There are a ton of shed gym videos on You Tube. Just search for “shed gym” and prepare to spend hours.
I think the shed cave is a great idea. Add a high efficiency mini-split for HVAC and insulation for a sweet set up. The advanced version of “shed” might be a small pole barn. We put up a pole barn with a concrete pad (non-insulated or conditioned) and it was remarkably cost effective space for car protection and dry storage for other stuff.
Same rules apply to sheds as basements: ceiling height, total space, lighting, flooring and make it inviting and welcoming so you’ll get out there and work out.
TR Forum users, our friend @Aeroiseverything has a very cool Container Paincave and knows a thing or two about heating and cooling as well. See if this link works:
Meanwhile back in the basement paincave, Boogie has a PSA for Y’all:
Never Neglect Your Core !!!

I see you removed the MP-1 beneath the Neo Bike. Any reason? I just ordered one and am a bit worried coming from the E-Flex system with tons of motion.
No reason besides to make a cleaner setup mostly. The mp1 modified the way I did does work really well with neo bike. I was going to sell the mp1 eventually as it is just sitting around now.
2022 started with a crappy ramp test, which I repeated two days later at maintenance only to find out that I had Covid 
. January was a write off. February house move. March renovating. Finally I got myself the pain cave of my dreams… with a view! The best part is, one of my city’s best gravel paths is right outside my doorstep.

Which flooring did you go for?
I looked at many recently. Some were too thin, some were from across the country and had crazy shipping, some were too poorly toleranced for thickness/straightness that they’d not fit together.
Your flooring looks great. I’m not after thick enough to drop weights on, just something nicer than dirty garage concrete, and something that is more comfortable with a yoga mat on it for stretching sessions.
Thanks

Tnx for compliment - we love the gym space!!
The black rubber matting is American Floor Mats Warrior Rubber Gym Tile product. 3/8" thick and 2x2 foot squares in 10% mocha color (small brown flakes).
This Warrior product comes in 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 and 3/4 inch thicknesses. 3/8 is sort of the standard gym floor. If I was going to be dropping plates or loaded barbells I’d build a proper lifting platform. But I’m too old for throwing weights around 
Warrior is good but not perfect. Had some time and effort laying it down and rubber mallet work to get it all interlocked. The seller also made an error on my order: incorrect edge vs corner pieces. They did offer to make it right but I didn’t want to wait and had to cut one side so made it work.
Another product I’ve used, which seems to have better fit characteristics, is Supermat Super lock. It comes in a 3/8" thick 20 x 20 inch squares.
The aerobic/yoga area checkerboard is a 1" thick dense foam product. It’s close to the ProsourceFit tiles sold at Home Depot. Not great for weights but awesome for “aerobics” and yoga type stuff.

Very nice paincave, I also have the c2 rowerg, bike riding bench and trx but lack upper body training so I’m debating whether to buy a skierg or a dumbbell bench, dumbbells and a pull up rack.
I’m personally partial to skierg, after all skiing is cool and can be an alternative exercise after too much leg training, but it’s also expensive and the plasticity is probably far less effective than dumbbells for these strength exercises.
I don’t know what you think about this, thanks!

Love the c2 rowerg. Mine doesn’t get enough lately. 
I don’t have a ton of room to work with as I have a combined wfh office and workout room. For dumbbells I use the adjustable powerblocks. I have the adjustable kettlebell which is nice. The kettlebell goes on sale frequently. I have a basic step bench from Reebok that I use as it folds up nicely.

Indoor riding happens on the right (screen behind my Spark & SL7) but with 9 bikes in the house now it’s getting tight!

Holy sheet-balls. I might be convinced to leave the inner-burbs and move to the exurbs for a space like that.

Updated pain cave, moved the TT bike out of the corner and a new setup for the back fan: just an old barstool with one of the side supports removed so the trainer fits under it. Oh, and the Kickr is gone and replaced with the Hammer H3. 
Much cleaner looking cave setup now!
