Antonio Perez, a software engineer from Bath Township, Ohio, dedicated the past year and $32,000 to building a home gym after his wife's condition made it difficult for her to leave the house. His wife developed Multiple System Atrophy, leading to feelings of guilt whenever he went to the gym. Initially planned as a quick project, it evolved into a year-long transformation of the basement. The gym serves not just him, but his family, allowing them to engage in fitness together. The experience highlights the importance of adaptability in personal circumstances and family support.
The gym project that started as a simple idea morphed into an extensive renovation, ultimately becoming a balancing act of personal fitness and family support.
Feeling guilty about leaving my wheelchair-bound wife alone during gym visits pushed me to create an at-home gym that would benefit our entire family.
