Our Story
As a lover of art, lifting, and rock music, I decided to mix three of my favorite passions and created "Lifting Rocks!" garage and home gym banners that rock!
I made my own gym banner a few years ago, sitting in my home office during the pandemic. I was feeling pretty grateful that I invested in a squat rack, barbell, and plates the year before all the crazy covid stuff hit the fan. Sitting at my desk, I thought, "Lifting Rocks!" and proceeded to sketch the symbol for my little garage gym.
As a graphic designer, I used my adobe skills to polish it up and sent it to the printer to get a 3'x5' vinyl banner hung on my wall. Now, every time I lift, I feel proud and motivated to build toward new PRs in my own space I call my garage gym. It is one of my favorite places to be! My weights, my schedule, my rock music!
Before I had my home gym, I remember one day walking into the local commercial gym, geared up and ready to get some good lifting in. The gym was packed that day, which always gives me a little anxiety, knowing I'm going to have to battle the crowd and wait for equipment. I was not wrong about waiting... Even the bathrooms had lines, and you can forget about getting a squat rack. Best bet was to ask someone if you could share a rack and try to work in. I was tempted to walk out, but I stayed and my workout took forever. At the very least my motivation took a hit that day.
Now that I have my garage gym, I can never go back. I'm sure you feel the same about your home gym. I want everyone with a garage or home gym to feel the sense of pride I do. Garage gyms are bad ass, and what better way to make it rock even more than to hang some sick banners on the wall.
I put a lot of thought and love into these banners, so thank you for checking them out, and I hope to make a banner that speaks to you and represents how you feel about lifting, rock music, and hitting your goals in your gym.
Good luck on your lifting goals, and I hope you hit all your upcoming PRs!!!
