Pain cave is in the finished basement, next to the workshop. Down the hall is a bar with fridge, sink and then a full bathroom.

Garage is for the, um, cars...

No need to rough it.

Mic drop.

Serious question, however. What about rust?

Rust is just weakness leaving the metal.

Insulated garage and garage door with a Rinnai heater powered by natural gas for my winter workouts. I find I sweat too much if the temperature is higher than 55 degrees F.

I train in the garage with the door open in winter. Helps to acclimate to outside winter riding. No fans are necessary. I can spit out the door. I get fresh air. Better view than in the basement. Wins all around.

My basement is about 48F My detached garage? Balls almighty - not even an option in winter, March-sure, but I’m riding by then.

No can do on the indoor riding. I've worn out trainers when I was racing and living in cold climate, now it doesn't matter so much. Too cold to ride intervals?
, fat bike, hike, ski, snowshoe, anything outside. It's all good crosstraining for lifelong fitness.

My garage is waaaaay cold for at least 1-2 months of year to be riding in. I have a gas heater out there but the time needed to warm it up makes it impractical. I typically ride in the room over the garage. It’s chilly enough that once I’m going it’s doable and if I get warm I’ve got a couple fans to crank up.

I not only don't have a "pain cave" I don't even have a garage!

But I also don't do indoor riding. I own enough winter kit to cycle down into some pretty cold temps, and if the road and/or atmospheric conditions are such that's it's still not safe/smart to be cycling outdoors, that's the universe telling me to do something else that day.

But I'm interested in reading the other responses in this thread, because if I ever did own a garage I'd want to be able to work in it year 'round, so hints for heating are appreciated.

I have a small space heater I run when it's really cold so I can still work on bikes. Don't think I've used it for riding, seem to warm up quick. I have an old bike on a trainer in the garage, and a little wooden iPad holder against the wall to watch shows etc. (have a dumb trainer right now)

My kids' bedrooms are above the garage, so I insulated the garage door a few years back with this stuff. It took 4 kits for my 2 car garage door (about 16' wide). I sliced down the middle lengthwise, but not through the outside surface, bent into the door frame, then pushed flat. Used seaming tape to tape the seams. https://www.homedepot.com/p/SilveRbo...AKIT/205975329. One trick to bring the insulation to the door surface was to run the shop vac, stick it on the insulation panels, and "pull" it out to the inner surface. I cut it with an old drywall mud knife thing, I sharpened one side with a file.

My neighbor got a pre-insulated garage door when he got his replaced from some dents. It's pretty sweet, probably quite a bit better.
