I'm turning my garage into a home gym, but there's a problem—one wall of the garage is buried into a hill, and I've noticed water seeping through, possibly from a brick corner pillar. I need some advice on how to prevent water from getting in and potentially causing mold under the rubber mats I'll be laying down. What options do I have for redirecting this water and sealing up the wall?

It sounds like you're dealing with a tough spot! Honestly, it’s best to tackle the source of the water first before it gets into your garage. Have you looked into doing some excavation around that brick pillar? It could be a headache to dig, but sealing it from the outside might be the way to go.
Just keep in mind that prevention is key!
Yeah, I’ve considered that. It’s definitely not something I want to do, but I think it might be necessary.
