Use for exercise anywhere
593231
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.

High quality exercise bands. Plenty of exercises can be completed with these. I used them for arms, legs and back. I feel like these could last a very, very long time. I bought them for travel use because of the compact travel bag/tote. The entire set weighs 2 pounds 2 ounces, which is a bit too heavy and bulky for my type of travel where I only use a small carry-on. However, if you have the space and want to keep in shape while traveling or use these instead of paying tons of $$$ for a gym membership, these can be a good fit for you.

This set is super convenient for light exercise at home since it packs away neatly in the provided bag. I used it as part of a physical therapy treatment for a shoulder injury, but the bands have a wide range and can be used for many exercises. You can even add resistance beyond the strongest band by doubling up bands on the same handle. The latches, handles, and straps are all well made and feel very secure. The door anchor works great and I never worried about it slipping loose--just make sure you pull the door closed all the way until it clicks!

This is really well made, compact, portable and exactly what I was looking for.  I wanted a device to keep in my room that I could quickly and easily move, jump on and workout to music. The first time I tried it, I did it for 10 minutes and got a pretty good workout. It is a liitle hard on my one knee, similar to going up stairs. Good lower body workout and abs. Recommend you have something to hang onto for stability.

Easy to use for Yoga, stretching and many other applications around the house. I also use it as a great footstool for guitar practice.

Really enjoy this item!  My doctor recommended it as a way to start me exercising.  It is so easy to put the unit against a wall, sit on chair, and peddle!  I can read or watch a movie while I am doing it.  The reason I gave it a 4 and not a 5 is because it does move.  It comes with a strap to hold it so it won't move too much, but I found putting it against the kitchen counter or a door, worked better for me.  So far I have been able to get as much resistance as I would like, mind you a true biker probably would want more than the machine can give, but then a true biker probably has a total indoor bike or rides outside.  Also it folds flat so it is easy to throw in the car while traveling.  Definitely recommend!

This is a very good way to get some light exercise.  It's pretty compact and fits into a very small space next to my bed.  I am 6'2" and get a full extension workout with this machine, no problem.  I wouldn't expect to get a "heavy workout" but it will give you some good upper body "cardio" exercise with enough repetitions.  Assembly was fairly simple, but I still can't seem to get a large pin set properly  in the main shaft although this doesn't affect performance or stability  Frankly, I don't even know what structural function it serves.  For the money, you can't beat it.

This product arrived on time as per the descriptions; however I didn't read the description in its entirety when I was ordering to understand this didn't come with the water bottles so my advice would be read CAREFULLY before clicking the buy button because if you don't it's your own fault.

This is a very handy product and durable as well. It is perfect for people who are active outside of the home. It has storage pace enough to carry the basics if you were out running or walking. It has adjustable straps and can be worn loosely or tightly for any comfort level. If you are purchasing this product specifically for outdoor activities, your money will be well spent.

My use for this portable is mostly exercise and dance instructional DVDs, with adjustable screen and good battery life essential. Tablet feature is great and fits on my exercise bike. Easy to get used to button location. For the price, a nice value for me. I use it every day and glad I purchased.

I love this thing. I have it sitting on the table next to my tv and use it to exercise my hands while I am watching tv. Adjusting the resistance is easy and I have noticed a good improvement in my grip strength after a month of use.

Minus a star because it seemed a little expensive for what it is.

Works great and allows me to do the exercises I so badly need, especially when the weather is not cooperating to do outside.

This is a simple product that hooks your laptop to your cardio equipment.  It works.  If you want to make a lifestyle change -- to fit in more exercise without sacrificing your computer-based hobbies -- this is an excellent product to try.

The SurfShelf fits my NordicTrack Commercial 1500 as though it were made especially for it -- and it does look versatile enough that I believe it would fit on a wide variety of other machines.  It is easy and quick to install.  It has ample strength.  It holds the laptop secure and steady.  After over 100 miles of use, it has not scratched my treadmill's display, I have never worried about my laptop's safety, and the SurfShelf shows no signs of wear.

Functionally, the SurfShelf has done all it promised.  I have been able to write long lengths of text (tens of thousands of words) while walking at about 2.5 miles per hour.  If I wanted, I feel like I could use the laptop for most other things (like games, videos, e-mail, reading blogs) without being limited at this speed.  The laptop has been secure at higher speeds; I just can't type if I walk any faster.

I got used to typing while walking after a few miles.  Now I simply forget I'm walking within the first few minutes of my exercise.  I often cover 2-4 miles without thinking about it.

Three small negatives:

(1) I have doubts if it is a good product for use at a gym:  Most gyms limit the amount of time you can spend on cardio equipment.  If you can't spend much time on the equipment, what would be the point of having this?

(2) The shelf does block the digital display on my treadmill -- plus the built-in fan.  Whatever kind of equipment you have, it is going to block something.  I consider it a small sacrifice for the huge benefits.

(3) It's weird to jog with the shelf in place.  Even though it doesn't actually stick out that far, when I'm moving fast, somehow it feels like it juts into my personal space.  This isn't too a big deal, though.  It takes me about 30 seconds to get the shelf off of my treadmill when I want to run.

The SurfShelf is one of the most simple, useful things I have bought this year.  For the materials that went into it, I think it's priced a bit high -- but for its usefulness, I got my money's worth in the first month.

My husband loves to use this around the house when he is speaking with his family.  I plan on using it when I walk for exercise and don't have a pocket for my phone

I love the Gwee Gym.  It is easy to use. Even my granddaughter likes to use it.  Low stress and fun to do.  The product is light weight and easy to take with me when I travel.  I think this is a great product.

These are great at the gym, biking and anywhere that a wire gets in the way.  They're "can" phones which means a bit bulky and hot, but gym and other places are noisy so the can style seals the ear well to minimize external noise.  I found it quickest to plug the micro SD into PC, load up with tunes and replace, but you can load tunes over USB as well.
Pros: No moving parts, no wires, no external device when using MP3 mode, great sound, comfortable, simple but elegant operation, SD cards of up to 16 GB will hold a lot of music.  Cons: track selection is next / previous track only and no shuffle or repeat.  (You have to arrange tracks in desired order on the SD card).  MP3 only, no lossless format supported.  No display, but the intent is that you operate these without removing them so a display wouldn't make much sense.  If you need to see what you're playing, use Bluetooth mode.
Tested as Bluetooth and that feature works very well.  Radio also works great.

Used them when traveling and in the gym.  Great when wrapped around posts or pillars, high or low to change the angle of resistance.  Back, biceps, tris -- I can hit them all with this. Also have used them for physical therapy, wrapping the bands around my knees as I squat, side step, etc.  Perfect for that.  That's mostly what I used them for.  Durable and doesn't chafe skin.  Great buy.
