In recent months, BodyKore teamed up with singer, actor, and fitness enthusiast James Maslow to design and install his fourth custom home gym, affectionately dubbed JimGym 4.0. Set in the heart of his brand-new Nashville home, this garage gym is a bold fusion of style, functionality, and pro-level performance—everything we stand for at BodyKore.

Designing a Gym That Moves with Maslow

We were introduced to James through his trainer, Dan Palacious (a.k.a. Kinetic Dan), and quickly got to work helping him realize his dream: a smart, efficient training space that wouldn’t sacrifice performance or design.

The goal? To create a high-performance gym that supports James’ demanding lifestyle—whether he’s prepping for a tour, working on film projects, or just fitting in a quick recovery workout between flights.

But there was a twist: James wanted to keep space open in the garage to park his truck. So, every inch of JimGym 4.0 had to be optimized with intention. Utilizing our Home Gym 3D Design Service, we mapped out the space ahead of time.

What’s Inside JimGym 4.0?

We curated a lineup of BodyKore favorites that deliver maximum functionality in minimal space:

• Universal Trainer – This all-in-one machine offers over 100 exercises in one sleek package. Whether it’s pull-ups, cable flys, or squats, this powerhouse does it all—and does it smoothly. As James put it, “You can do so many exercises on it… and the pulleys are so smooth.”

• Hip Thrust Machine – Key for building the posterior chain strength James needs for athletic movement (yep, even backflips on tour).

• 5–100 lb Rubber Hex Dumbbell Set – Ideal for everything from high-rep burnout sets to heavy lifts.

• Adjustable Bench – Because variety in angles = variety in gains.

• Original Squat Box – A space-saving beast that features a portable belted squat station to reduce spinal load while crushing leg day.

• Punching Bag – Perfect for cardio and striking practice when James wants to switch things up.

The result? A setup that’s compact, efficient, and built for performance.

A Gym That’s Built to Inspire

Beyond the killer equipment, JimGym 4.0 is a vibe. From the sleek flooring to functional lighting to a full-on wellness area around the corner with a cold plunge and infrared sauna, the space isn’t just about training—it’s about recovery, balance, and discipline.

James says having a home gym buys him back hours in the day. It’s right there—no excuses, which allows for consistency.

Celebrity Tested, Fitness Influencer Approved

In case you missed it, YouTube star and fitness influencer Jesse James West gave JimGym 4.0 a glowing review in his celebrity gym ranking video. Compared to massive gym complexes owned by names like MrBeast and Jake Paul, James’ space stood out for its efficient design and smart equipment choices, including the Universal Trainer.

“You have everything you need, so you don’t need like 10 machines,” Jesse said in the video.

Spoiler alert: he gave it an “A.” Check out the story and find the full video here.

Fitness That’s Built for Life on the Go

James isn’t just training at home—he’s helping fans do it too. Alongside BodyKore and MetPro, James launched his On-the-Road Fitness Kit, complete with resistance bands, handles, a pilates bar, and access to his exclusive 4-week training program. It’s designed for anyone who wants to train like James, anytime, anywhere.
