The Five Pillars of the $0 Home Gym
Feb 23, 2026You don’t need a gym membership.
You don’t need machines.
You don’t need fancy equipment.
In his video Al Kavadlo breaks down the five pillars you need to build a strong, toned, and capable body — using nothing but your own bodyweight.
The truth is simple: strength isn’t built by equipment. It’s built by tension, consistency, and progressive challenge.
These pillars cover the entire body. Train them consistently, progress intelligently, and you can build muscle, resilience, and real-world strength — anywhere.
The “$0 home gym” isn’t about being cheap. It’s about removing excuses.
When you master foundational movements, your living room becomes a training ground. Your body becomes the resistance. And your progress becomes fully in your control.
Watch the full video to see how to structure these five pillars into a simple, effective home training system.
