Dosho Design JGM009 Jam Gym Review


DoshoDesignJGM009JamGym
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I researched many variations/prices on this kind of product. I like to keep it simple. This was one of the least expensive, so I had nothing to lose. However, it's a quality item. The handles are strong and covered with soft foam that don't hurt the palms or digs into the fingers. The nylon straps, black not red, are thick enough to support my weight (185lbs) and are similar to the ones on large duffle bags. The door anchor is the shape of a mini-dumbbell and has not damaged the door jam. Using my body weight, varying angles, and distances from the door that opens out (more secure and less chance of the door flying open), I get an effective sculpting/toning workout with a definite cardio edge, too. It's like isometrics in motion. The instruction book has a nice layout: introduction, check with your doctor section, safety tips, workout suggestions, breathing tips, and a step by step picture manual of 13 exercises, and a six day menu plan. I haven't seen the DVD, but the manual is pretty self-explanatory. Excellent alternative for the person on the go, or someone that is bored with their current exercise program.

First, I must say how impressed I am with Sports Fanatics. I ordered this item on Dec. 19 and it arrived today. For only a $5 shipping charge, that was pretty impressive considering this is just a few days before Christmas. Well done!
The bag is wonderful quality. I wanted it to wear when I cross-country ski and stuff my ski coat in when it is ready to come off. The double straps on both sides insure the bag will not slip off my shoulders. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is I wish it had a bigger gusset for expansion to carry additional items.

TKO Home & Gym Folding Exercise Mat 4' x 8' Review


TKOHomeandGymFoldingExerciseMat4'x8'
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I purchased one of these for my wife for Christmas last year. After getting it in the house we wondered what the SMELL was. It turns out to be related to this mat. We left it outside when we could for the first month or two, unzipped, hoping the nasty chemical odor would go away. It never did. It was strong enough that you could sense it when you walked in the room, and we didn't want to be in the same room with it. The smell seems to come from the foam inside the zipped sections. I can't tell you what it is, but you won't like it.
The mat spent the summer outside and is now out in the shed. It's been unzipped for months and it still smells. It will go to the Goodwill or the dump. This is another great example of Chinese junk that's not worth the money you spend on it, and it may carry additional health risks as well. Don't buy this to exercise to keep healthy. Go breath some clean air instead!

...right off the bat, if you do calf raises you'll need more than this. You'll do a lot more weight with shoulder shrugs than you think too.
Mine didn't come with instructions. You have to take the rod block off the machine so you can get to the bottom of it to put in the screws. Just pop out the two covers (I used a flat screwdriver to pry them out), insert the rods, and put a philips screw into the bottom of the block to hold the rod in (screws are included).

(More customer reviews)
The product is fine IF they send you all the parts you need. I received my shipment on May 4th. I immediately started opening it and putting it together. I got to STEP 4 in the directions and realized I didn't have the part to do that step, then I took inventory and realized that I didn't have many crucial parts. That very day I called their customer service number and got a message. You will never get to speak to a person when you call, trust me I tried many times. Nobody called me back, so I emailed them and no response for 4 days. I emailed again. To make a long story short. This company played games for 2 straight weeks. They claimed they never received my email, only to later respond to me through that "lost" email. I threatened them with calling my credit card coming and filing a claim. They emailed me again, only to delay that action, because it's nearly impossible to dispute a credit charge 30 days after purchase. Meanwhile, I had boxes and parts sitting in the middle of my room the whole time. Finally, I put in a claim with amazon. Amazon wanted to ship me a new one or refund my money, but for both options...they wanted me to ship this stuff back to them...ON MY DIME! I told them to "talk to this company and straighten it out. How many other customers would amazon let this happen to?" The very next day is when I got contacted by this company and given actual information about where my parts were and that they would be coming. I would never, ever buy from this company again. It's a shame because for the money the gym isn't bad, but if you don't get your parts....don't say I didn't warn you.

Powertec WB-MS10 Workbench Multi System (Yellow) Review


PowertecWB-MS10WorkbenchMultiSystem(Yellow)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Purchased for $995.
Assembly: I found it to be rather easy. There are only two sizes of bolts/nuts for the entire machine. The larger for all of the serious connections and the smaller for attaching pads etc. Having built a para-body machine before, this was infinitely easier. I had my laptop with the PDF manual (agree it's lame) and then I went on eBay and found a few for sale with multiple pictures, this really helps as you can just pretty much eyeball it. Took about 2 hours to get it completely built.
Operation: It works as advertised, a smooth leverage machine. It is really focused on major muscle work and can handle a lot of weight. I have the older version apparently. The bench press bench is a bit difficult to adjust and you will have to spend sometime getting your bench angles/bar right to get full extension, looks like they changed that some on newer ones. It's uber-safe, no cables, no way to crush or really even pinch yourself (except for plates). You might bump your head a few times but my kids use it. The squat rack is about the best you get for home use.
Quality: I have had no problems with welds etc. It seems very robust. Since I have had cable machines before, there is no maintenance with this other than wiping it down now and then which is nice.

Love to lift but not a big fan of free weights? Turn to the Powertec WB-MS10-B Workbench multi-gym, a three-person workout system that combines more than a dozen of the best, most-effective free weight stations in machine form. The WB-MS10-B multi-gym doesn't use any cables or pulleys, but instead employs a leverage design to provide the resistance. As a result, the WB-MS10-B not only feels smooth and performs safely, but it's also virtually maintenance-free. The multi-gym--which can accommodate three people at once--supports such exercises as calf raises, shoulder presses, tricep presses, seated rows, squats, bench presses, leg extensions, arm curls, lat pull downs, ab crunches, and many more. In short, it offers exercises for every major muscle group. Plus, you can expand the multi-gym's functionality by adding an optional Powertec accessory, such as a pec fly, leg press, or machine dip accessory. The Workbench incorporates an access tube and knob lock pin for these easy-to-attach accessories (sold separately).
And despite the variety of workout stations, the multi-gym's footprint is actually fairly compact. Other features include contoured pads for comfort, a revised lever lat arm that incorporates both a close-gripped swivel bar and a rotation bar, and a sleek design in yellow. Weight plates are sold separately.
Specifications:
Lever press arm without plates: 20 pounds
Lever press arm load capacity: 500 pounds
Squat arm load capacity: 500 pounds
Lat lever load capacity: 400 pounds
Tricep bar load capacity: 200 pounds

Total Gym 1800 Club Review


TotalGym1800Club
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My wife has been wanting to buy a Total Gym for some time now, and we're glad we waited, because the Total Gym 1800 seems a bit better than the 1700 for a very similar price. We had a hard time finding enough info on the 1800 but decided to take a chance. Although we're not familiar with the 1700, there doesn't seem to be anything "missing" and the 1800 does include a few extras such as larger glide board, and ab boards. It also has leg pulley kit, one foot harness, dip bars, press up bars, and the wing accessory, many of which I think are included in the 1700 as well.
Pluses: Convenient and easy to exercise many different muscle groups, compact and reasonably priced. Adults and older kids can use it comfortably. I don't find it difficult to make adjustments even raising and lowering, but may be difficult for people who weigh only 100 lbs or less.
Minuses or things that may take some getting used to:
(1) Lot of adjusting required. Different exercises require different attachments, some of which get in the way of each other so you don't (can't) have everything permanently attached. At least with the hitch pins it's easy. What's not so easy is adjusting the effort level, because the only way to do this is by raising or lowering the glide table so it's inclined at a different angle (all exercises require raising your body on the glide table, at a steeper angle this requires more effort). So where I've started is level 1 (easiest) for a few exercises, then I adjust to level 3 for a couple of other exercises. While I do expect to get stronger at the level 1 exercises, I kind of doubt that I'll ever be at the same setting for all exercises.
(2) Mechanical design leaves something to be desired. (a) I have yet to find a good place to keep the handles when not using them so they just kind of rattle around on the floor. (b) There's a safety hitch pin, but either I'm not using it right or it doesn't fit well - there's a hole it seems it should go in, but it either goes in cockeyed or it bangs up against the main spring loaded pin that holds one end of the glide table up. (c) There's a velcro pad on one of the rails, the pulley fitting rubs against this and it's going to come off sooner or later. (d) There's a foam pad that goes under the unit. But when you raise or lower the glide table, the distance between the feet changes and the foam pad shifts around. Minor nuisance keeping the unit on the foam pad, I'm inclined (no pun intended!) to get a nice big plywood sheet and keep the Total Gym on that. (e) Depending on the attachments in use, the plastic-sheathed cable may rub on the attachment.
(3) At first it was awkward getting started with each exercise, but I'm getting the hang of it. Seems to help to grab both handles of the rope-pulley and then adjust your body position. And empty your pockets ;-)
(4) Be careful with loose hair. First time my wife tried, her hair got caught in a pulley assembly.
Drawbacks notwithstanding, a good deal for the money.

Sole E55 Elliptical Trainer (2009-2010 Model, DISCONTINUED) Review


SoleE55EllipticalTrainer(2009-2010Model,DISCONTINUED)
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've written a review on the e95 as well - I'll say go read that rather than have me write a complete novel here. :-)
After deciding the e95 had some features I didn't like and that the e35 would suit my needs but I'd like just a little beefier machine and a computer with a numeric keypad - I ordered this one directly from Sole. The box came... it was HUGE. The delivery guy helped slide it down our cellar steps so getting it in the house wasn't too hard but you might want to spring the extra cash for in-home delivery if your situation is more complicated. (The box is about the size of a small-ish fridge... I've turned it in to the best box house ever for my son. If you have kids, they'll love this)
Once it was in - assembly took maybe 2 hours but we weren't exactly trying to break any records. Assembly is very straight forward and the nuts and bolts are packaged in a tray with little compartments so you have just what you need for steps 1, 2, 3, and 4.
One complaint about assembly - this beast is HEAVY. Which is a good thing, for when you're working out on it - but I look at this thing and I think, my god, it's never coming back out of this house. We bought this house 3 months ago and I am not sure it's our "forever" house. So I wonder if an elliptical adds to the value of a house. Not that we're going anywhere any time soon with the market having just dropped but... I do wonder, will it ever come back out.
Working out on this machine is AWESOME. It compares *very* favorably to the LifeFitness machines I used at the gym before I got pregnant with my twins. They're now 8 months and I had to stop using the elliptical pretty early in my pregnancy so I'm really not in the best shape now - and this machine kicks my butt. Which is good! But it's kind of humiliating. I am using resistance level 3 for now and hope to get better soon.
So far I only use the manual setting on the computer and my one complaint is you can't add time on the fly like you could with the LifeFitness machines. You have to wait until the program is over and then you can hit "start" to do it again - but it does keep going from your current distance and calories burned, at least, so it's LIKE just adding time - it would just be nice to be able to add time. (For all I know though maybe you can - and I just haven't figured it out. Such a small annoyance, though!) (Update - I've figured out if you want, you can just hit "start" twice when you get on and it will count up, rather than down, so you can just keep going as long as you like)
All in all I am very pleased with this machine. I can't help but wonder if the e35 wouldn't have worked out just as well but I wanted a little beefier flywheel and I have it.
The only mechanical issue we've had with the machine is you need to keep the tracks greased or it makes a noise like styrofoam coming out of a cardboard box. EEEK! Machine comes with a tube of grease (actually a white tube with "LUBE" written on it in large black letters, the most generic thing you can imagine... we thought it was hilarious...)
Great machine, very pleased.

Enjoy an efficient full-body workout without heading to the gym with the Sole E55 elliptical trainer. Boasting a heavy 30-pound flywheel, a high gear ratio not found on most comparable models, and a pair of upper body handles, the E55 delivers an extremely smooth workout with plenty of top-end resistance. Users will also appreciate the unique oversize and adjustable foot pedals, which were designed in collaboration with a leading physical therapist and sports enthusiast. The pedals are not only extra large, but also feature a 2-degree inward slope that reduces the ankle and knee stress that's common in other elliptical machines. The collaboration also produced a revolutionary foot pedal angle adjustment not found on any other elliptical. Taking into account that not everyone walks the same way, Sole engineers made the E55's pedals adjustable to fit the way you walk. This also reduces the likelihood of numb toes and sore Achilles tendons.
Workout specifics include 16 resistance levels, 10 total programs (including two custom and two heart-rate programs), and a 20-inch stride length. Perhaps the handiest feature from a user perspective, however, is the easy-to-use electronic console, which integrates a blue backlit LCD display, a cooling fan, and a water bottle holder. The E55, which offers a maximum weight capacity of 350 pounds, carries the following warranties: lifetime on the frame, five years on all parts and electronics, and two years on the labor.

About Sole Sole brings over twenty years of treadmill and fitness product design and manufacturing to the table in their line of innovative equipment designed for fitness-conscious people. The company's treadmill line is simple in design, with an emphasis on quality and warranty all at a great price. Sole's easy-to-use treadmills offer a great value and feature a convenient, space-saving portable design. The treadmills have a very stable base with four wheels for ease of movement, folding decks to conserve space, and a 30-year motor and lifetime deck and frame warranty. Sole is always looking for ways to make their equipment better, more efficient, with higher quality at a great price.
About Elliptical Trainers Elliptical trainers represent the next wave of advancement in low-impact cardiovascular exercise machines and continue to grow in popularity. By simulating motions experienced through walking, stepping, cycling, and skiing, elliptical machines allow for a smooth and fluid motion while building strength in the arms and legs. Similar to the exercise position for treadmills, elliptical trainers are used by standing in an upright position while holding the handrails of the machine. With elliptical trainers, however, your feet remain in the foot pedals throughout the exercise regimen and circulate in a smooth and seamless motion, resulting in little to no impact on the knees, back, and hips.
Elliptical trainers are compatible for all ages and fitness levels and allow you to select the difficulty level through the incline and intensity settings. Additionally, elliptical trainers allow you to determine the complexity of your workout based on your needs, all while listening to music, watching television, or reading a magazine while exercising in the comfort and safety of your own home.
Although different types of elliptical trainers offer an assortment of features, many of them include an array of challenging programs, forward and reverse directional movement, EKG grip pulse handles, a lightweight portable design with easy fold-up capability, and a monitor displaying calories burned, distance, speed, time, and heart rate. Other types of exercise machines, namely treadmills and bikes, offer excellent cardiovascular exercise and muscular training for the legs in a forward-motion exercise. Elliptical trainers take this to the next level by offering an upper and lower body workout with dual motion, challenging and diverse programs, and a low-impact exercise machine that won't strain sensitive joints.

Ceiling Mount Chin up Bar Review


CeilingMountChinupBar
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Did quite a bit of research on pull-up bars prior to purchasing this one. Wanted something that would mount nicely and easily in our unfinished basement and did not want to spend too much money. My wife and I both excercise in a home gym in our basement and have recently started doing P90X. We quickly grew tired of lacking this one important component of our nicely equipped home gym - this pull-up bar was the perfect complement. Instructions were fairly simple and easy to follow - all hardware was included and adequate for proper mounting. Took about an hour to install, only because of the height and tight spot where I was installing, but otherwise it was a straight-forward installation. We've been using it for about 5 weeks now and are both happy with this purchase. The only recommendation would be better grips. Where you place your hands, the steel is etched/notched but can be a little hard to hold onto -- foam rubber would have been a nice addition. We are currently looking for an add-on that won't make the grip too thick but will provide a bit more comfort. Not sure if other bars had the foam grip option, but otherwise we are happy with this pull-up bar and feel it was a decent value for the money.

I purchased this bench about a month ago it was very easy to assemble you will need a few metrix wrenhes, seems to be of good quality but time will tell. It is sterdy but still very light and easy to move I would reccomend this bench.

The most common piece of fitness equipment found in any home or commercial gym is the FID bench. A flat, incline and decline weight bench allows a myriad of exercises to be performed on one compact piece of equipment without the need to invest in a separate apparatus for each station. The EF-4417 is set apart from the rest by its functionality, reliability and stability. It features a fully adjustable segmented and ergonomic back pad with multiple ladder-back adjustments from decline to full military position. In addition, the 2.5 thick seat adjusts on incline teeth with a steel pin for proper alignment with the back and/or ankle pads. The 4 adjustable roll pads at the base of the EF-4417 allow you to use the bench as a decline ab trainer as well as a brace for decline training. This all enables the EF-4417 to be truly a fully adjustable, multipurpose FID bench.

Phoenix 99403 Power Stand II Review

Average Reviews:

This gym is decent once it is put together. Since it is yet another product made in China, it is not really Quality Controlled. I had to use a large hammer to fit one of the top pull-up bars into place. Some of the bolts have damaged threads. The pads used to hold you in place while doing the leg and ab workouts get really slippery when wet, so you have to use towels over them. If your chest is wide like mine, then you will most likely feel cramped in the device.
Overall though it is not a bad gym. For the price (Under $150), and if you get free shipping, it is well worth the money. Just expect to use your own tools and a hammer when putting it together.
