Looking for something very similar to John's in his gym pics, just the simple vertical mirrors held in place by 4 small "L" brackets.

Anyone have a suggestion of where to purchase these? Home Depot? Kmart? Walmart?

Thanks!

Watch out for wavy or distorted glass... that often happens with cheap mirrors. You won't get an accurate picture of what you look like.

Have you tried diving into your local phonebook for a local glass company? They can usually tailor to the size you need, bevel edges (so you don't end up slicing yourself) and even deliver (sometimes... Depends on the dealer). I'd call around for quotes.

I picked a few up really cheap at garage and yard sales.

Home depot has a great selection of them and that's where I got mine, including the little brackets to hook it to the wall.

ended up going with $7 jobs from Lowes, w/ the cheap plastic frames.

Yes the glass is slightly distorted, but my wanting the mirrors was to make sure form was correct, not to get a super accurate picture of myself.

a few pics of the 'finished' (until I pick up a power rack and 300# oly set) w/ mirrors.

Cheap and suited my purpose fine

Wow, that room has tons of potential.

Every now and again you see a room that screams home gym, and that one is at the top of it's lungs.


How do you like the IronMaster bench? I am going to pick one up in the next few weeks. I know it is damn good, just want your opinion.

Thanks for the compliments!

The bench is singlehandedly the most solid bench I've ever been on, even trying I can't rock it whereas many I'd used at gyms have had some 'wobble' in them. I'll be picking up the leg hold attachment in a couple weeks to make declines a bit easier (rather than simply crossing my legs over the bench to hold myself up as I do now).

Very cool setup! I have those same mirrors purchased from Target for about $8 a piece. I have three of them side by side just like you. They're cheap, really easy to mount and they work.
