Bio
I'm the founder of Home Gym UK, the UK's largest and friendliest home and garage gym community, bringing together home gym owners, fitness enthusiasts and strength lovers from across the UK.
Jason Platt
Bodybuilding with a Men's Physique focus, built on a foundation of strength training. Inspired by strongman training and the mindset of pushing limits, building strength, and developing resilience.
What started as a passion project to give people a place to share their home gyms has grown into a thriving community built around support, inspiration and honest advice. Members share their gym builds, equipment recommendations, training journeys and ideas, helping inspire others to create spaces they are proud of.
At Home Gym UK, community always comes first. We focus on genuine conversations between gym owners and equipment brands, sharing honest reviews, real-world feedback, useful gym hacks and helping companies understand what their customers want. We also create factory tours, offering behind-the-scenes insight into how equipment is designed and made.
Through our Facebook community, Instagram page, and YouTube channel, we showcase inspiring home gyms across the UK, celebrating the passion behind every training space. I also share my own fitness journey, from Men's Physique training to rebuilding after major hip reconstruction, where I had to learn to walk again.
Favourite Northern Product
Cast Iron Plates - "Northern's dumbbells and plates are excellent value for money, but my personal favourite has to be the old-school cast iron deep dish plates. I love the classic look, the feel and the timeless gym atmosphere they bring”
What does being part of Northern mean to you?
It means representing a brand that genuinely understands the importance of quality, value and community. The best equipment is the equipment that gets used day after day, and Northern has built a reputation for creating products that people can trust in their own training spaces.
