Portable Home Gym?
« on: November 27, 2021, 11:16:46 AM »
So I'm getting tired of looking for hotels with gyms or hotels with gyms close by when I travel. I am looking at getting a portable home gym that I can pack in a suitcase. Something like this:



Does anyone have a similar unit that they use and would recommend?

Pushups, bodyweight squats, chair dips, jump rope, running (sprints), ab work, bands, isometrics.

No equipment needed.

I guess I should have known better than to post a bodybuilding/fitness question on Getbig.

I doubt many people here actually workout.

Thanks!

I’ve seen this one advertised.  Looks good but is it worth the $550 price tag?

Check out the Jaquish X3 Elite system. I purchased this setup awhile back. It's allows me a good workout within a brief time frame. The equipment is solid and should last awhile. Downsides are that it probably takes a little more room when packed up and it focuses on strength training.

Goruck rucker 3.0 with a 30lb plate and TRX inside is probably the most versatile gym you can take anywhere.

Definitely mate Jane posting always livens up the board and if she causes Howard to leave again things will be perfect

I thought the getbig verdict on this was that it was just an overpriced band system.

It is.

But it's also versatile, and if you can afford it, why not?

Thanks for the feedback. I’ll definitely consider it.

Getbig didn't pay for it. I did. After using it for exactly a year, my verdict is that it is worth the price. Getbig doesn't make decisions for me.

You tried other band setups before? They never "feel right" like a bar or dumbells or even machines.

There are lots of ways to exercise. Some suit some people better than others for a variety of reasons. In this case, I wanted something to use at home since I wasn't inclined to continue to go to the gym during the pandemic for a variety of reasons including the fact that wearing a mask while working out is extremely uncomfortable for me.

These bands work. No doubt those made by other manufacturers do too. I'm not inclined to waste time to trying them all before deciding what to buy...if that were even possible. I've used some flimsy bands when doing physical therapy and occasionally at home. I don't think they are very effective for bodybuilding.
