Much more convenient than paying/going to the gym.

I was paying for a gym membership plus $20 per class for Pilates Reformer. This machine will allow you to do 80% of what you can do on a machine costing thousands and is WAY more convenient than going to the gym for a fraction of the cost. There are also rollers on one end (but you do need to lift it off the base first and store the base separately.

I do the P90 workout plan, which involves a lot of work with resistance bands.  I was using a door attachment until one time when it flew off and slammed me in the chest ... ouch!  I started looking for other more permanent solutions.  I like this one because it's simple, well made, easy to install with a few tools (drill and socket wrench).  Plus I can swap out bands easily for different resistances without having to remount them in the door.  All in all, worth it for the convenience and safety factors.

I got this for my wife to replace her Fitbit Charge. So far, this is a much better fitness tracker. It's cheaper than the Fitbit, the app is user friendly and there are dozens of different color bands for it. The best part is not having to charge it every other day!

This Aibo Water Resistant Adjustable Sports Armband makes it very convenient for me to have my phone and my keys with me while I am working out at the gym or going out for a run or walk. In the past, when I would do some weight workouts on a bench using dumbbells, I would first have to remove my phone and place it on the floor as I fear it may fall out of my shorts, or worst, that when I first pick up the dumbbells to put on my lap before laying down on the bench and lifting the dumbbells up to my chest, that the dumbbells may be placed on the phone and damage or break it. Therefore, it has been really nice to just have the phone right on my upper arm and I do not have to worry about it being damaged by workout equipment or forgetting my phone when I place it elsewhere to complete a workout set. It is also nice that there is a slot for the key as I use a key lock when I am at the gym, and I can also place my house key in the slot when I am out for a walk or run.

Having my phone on my upper arm makes it very accessible, and it fits nicely without sliding around or feeling uncomfortable. It does not feel bulky and have not seem to affect any of my workouts yet. The armband itself is very lightweight but feels sturdy and seems to be made of good material. This armband should last me quite some time and I am really glad I purchased it.

I would recommend this armband to anyone who works out a gym or goes on runs/walks and like having their phone on them.

I was provided this product at a discount in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. I know how important reviews are to potential buyers as I, myself, always read reviews for online products before making a purchase. So, when I am rating and writing a review for an item that I received for free or at a discount, I do not rate or praise such an item any higher than if I had to pay full retail price for the item. When considering value and pricing of the item, I always base it on the current selling price and never take into account the price at which I received the item for.

I bought 2 sets of these, one for my wife and one for myself. We are both older and can use these almost anywhere. We used to lift free weights but as we got older using them became more difficult unless we got dressed and went to the gym. We have found that we can use these at home in our spare time and while watching tv. We can attach more than one band to the handles th increase the tension and get a harder workout. The round tubing used in these bands seems much stronger than the flat bands and they really add no extra weight to the bands. The sets also came with a nice bag to put all the bands, handles and door attachment in. That makes it very easy to travel with. The sets also came with a small instruction booklet that showed some exercises and uses for the bands, this gives you somewhere to start from, then you can make up your own exercises as you need them and become more experienced on the use of the bands. We are very pleased with these and would recommend them especially for older citizens or someone who wants some strength training without having to go to the gym or deal with free weights. Really great option for taking on vacation.

This is a fantastic way for folks who spend the bulk of their time at a desk to squeeze in more activity.  Easy to assemble.  Very quiet.  It takes a bit of getting used to the right technique so that you don't push your chair away, but after an hour or so, I've got the hang of it. I'm extremely pleased that it gives you a running timer of how long you have been active (rather than just a running clock) so that you can add the total duration of your activity to whatever fitness app you use at the end of the day.  It's also great for me right now because I'm pregnant; I don't have the energy to do my usual fitness routine, and this keeps my feet and legs active to hopefully reduce/minimize swelling in my feet and ankles

Based on a previous review, i've now used this treadmill on 2 treadmill desks I've assembled. It's relatively easy to disassemble the support bar and take the control panel off. You'll need a wrench to actually remove the bar, and a knife to pry away the glue holding in the wire to the console. The most time-consuming part was carefully prying away at the glue - took me an hour to get it set up, and half of that time was just detaching the wire.

Extremely convenient and minimalist once set up as a treadmill desk - I love working at my desk now! It was a marvelously cheap option for creating a walking desk, and shipping was fast as well.

I have free weights, but I don't want to lug them all over the house to work out.  And for the most part I don't use them where they are stored.  These really help out if I want to move to a different room or even when I'm on the go.

Nice value for money compared to the local fitness stores.

This is just like the machine we use in physical therapy. Unlike a machine at the gym, you have to use your own chair - I had to use trial and error to decide which chair is the right height and comfortable enough.  I ended up with a diningroom chair with a couch pillow behind my back.
I feel I get a pretty good workout.  It is a great option when I don't have time to go to the gym to use the recombant bike there or when the weather conditions make me hesitant to go our either to walk or even to drive to the gym.  The adjustable resistance provides a flexibility.  It seems sturdy enough to last for a long time.

I really enjoy the convenience of this product, They attachments provided allows versatility for usage, For instance you might not have a door that swings in the correct direction in your house that accommodates you to use them there, due to lack of space or other obstacles. You might however have a nice tree in the backyard that you can attach the oversize loop strap to, or you might just enjoy doing your training outdoors. Either way, I'm enjoying my bands so far, I do wish they would have a set that is half the size or separate so you can do some other workouts a little easier, but they will get there I'm sure. As well as some different anchor methods, which i'm sure could be easy enough down the road.

The type is a bit small to read if you're any distance away, but really helps take full advantage of the weights instead of doing the same few exercises over and over again.

I love these exercise bands. The latches are high quality, the handles are foam coated and comfortable, and there are ankle straps so that you can get good leg workouts too. After the first time using them for squats, my legs were burning and I was so sore the next day. They really give a good work out! The bands came in a bag which makes them convenient to store and carry. There is no set up or clean up. And they will be so easy to take when I travel! There is also a good little workout guide included. If you are looking for a convenient, affordable way to work out at home or away, these bands are it! I love them!

I have really enjoyed using this and i don't like exercising.  The only criticism is that it takes too long to put the pull up bar on and take it off.  For as easy as they made everything else on this, i am surprised the design for the pullup bar is so bad.  That said, i still give it five stars.  I have a small apartment.  I can set it up in about 10 seconds and do so many exercises so fast, then put it away in about 10 seconds.  Also, there is something about lifting your own body weight that is so much more rewarding than lifting dead weights.

It's a gym in a box so to speak! Having just had a baby it's hard to make it to the gym but with this set I don't have to there is everything i need right there.  I Love that i can change resistance as i get stronger  or if I'm having an off day! It's so compact you can travel with it as well!

A great way to get some exercise in without spending a fortune on bulky machines. The exercises are simple and effective.  The online videos do help in showing how to do them right.

Love this. No longer is it awkward to have my phone with me to work out. Plus I carry my gym card and key in the pocket.
