    Hey people,

    setting up a mini-gym in my shed at the moment. But I'm kinda stuck on the walls. What colour should I colour them? And where would I find a proper mirror?

    Leave them. Maybe focus on getting the basic weights/equipment you need 1st?
    And leave out the mirror completely.

    Get two mirrors, use them to check form IMO.

    I picked up a lovely mirror in IKEA . 6x2ft its great for checking form when doing squats etc.

    50 euro. its in a metal frame so easy to hang, But i leave it down so i can move it around

    I'm in Cork so Ikea is put of the question unfortunately. I already have the equipment in mind, just a case of ordering it. Nothing too glamorous. Weightbench with a squat rack and a punchbag. I'd prefer a full wall mirror, anyone know wheeee I'd get a full length mirror?

    There's a glass and glazing place up here that'll make anything you want. There must be one near you.

    FYI the hire shop up here also do fairly cheap perspex sheets 6X8, you could use to cover the mirrors in case they get smashed. Worth loooking out for something similar near you. Big hire shop/ co-op etc.

    I prefer video.
    Problem with mirrors is you have to look at them while you are doing stuff.
