EVO Gym - Portable Home Gym Strength Training Equipment, at Home Gym | All in One Gym - Resistance Bands, Base Holds Gym Bar & Handles for Travel | Portable Gym & Home Exercise Equipment

I’m not one to write reviews, but I had to review this product. I have been using it for about a month now, with no intention to stop soon.I’ve bought resistance bands several times before, but this combination of the base and the resistance bands are phenomenal. I’ve been wanting to purchase a power rack for a long time now, but I just don’t have an area where I can leave it and it not be in the way in some shape way or form (besides my garage which is either way too hot or way too cold). Enter the Evo Gym.As a background, I’ve been lifting for about 13 years in a variety of styles, weights, body weight, resistance bands, gymnastics (just ring work). My preference is actual weights. Or it was.First of all, the Evo gym is portable. You can bring it with you. The base folds up nicely, and it comes with a bag to throw all the accessories (bands, door anchor, etc) into. I throw it under my bed or in a closet until I’m ready to work out again. I travel a fair amount, so whenever I am driving you can bet this is coming with me. This is one of the reasons I gravitate towards these kinds of products, as I try to keep a regular routine. The more obstacles I face in working out (example being driving to the gym, packing for the gym, it’s snowy out, it’s rainy out, etc), the harder it is for me to get after it. Having it at home eliminates excuses.Second of all, I love the way it has scalable measures of progress. We all know that progressive overload is the best way to get more muscle, but I adore the way this works. You just count the notches and the weight in resistance in your training notes, and try to beat your reps from last time as you progress. I also love that you can micro-load, by notching up one more on whatever movement it would normally be on (that way you are getting a little bit more resistance at the end of the movement where it most difficult, which is one of the perks of resistance bands).Third of all, I love the sheer amount of exercises I can do with this. You can do a ton of exercises with traditional loop bands but you have to step on them, and then you have to guess where you were last time with hand placement. Some people can intuitively find that sweet spot of getting the proper amount of resistance, but I like to track closely, and guessing where I was last time always bothered me (which I think explains my preference for traditional weights). With this, I know that I was on notch 3, with 60 pounds of resistance. I can put the 10 on there and make it heavier. If 10 is too much, slide up to the next notch and then micro-load it in that way like I mentioned above.To be fully transparent, I have not used the door anchor or ankle attachments so I cannot vouch for those. Like my earlier comment about traditional loop bands, it feels subjective to what resistance might be that day (anything that involves taking a couple steps away to get it to where you needs to be I have trouble tracking). I exclusively have been training always using the base as I primarily prefer compound movements for most of my exercises and all my additional isolation movements can be met with the base somehow. Evo Gym’s videos are extremely helpful for figuring out the correct way to hit whatever you are trying to target. Their overall presentation has been phenomenal and I love the manual that came with it. Everything has been functioning well, and it seems like the creatorMy only complaint is that I wish the base had a way to somehow latch close. I’m sure I can think of something to fix that, but it would be nice if there was a magnetic seal on it somehow.If you have low space at your house or apartment and enjoy working out at home or travel on the road, I can’t recommend this enough. It has truly been game changing for me. I’m not looking at Rogue’s Power Racks weekly anymore, and that is saying something. I would buy this again in a heartbeat. You can tell this was developed by somebody that loves working. As a fellow lifter, busy dad, and frequent traveller, thank you!

I usually don't write reviews, but the Evogym is really quite good. I've been using it for about 3 months now and have been exceptionally pleased with it for a number of reasons:1) There is a huge variety of exercises you can do with it and once you get a feel for how to load and unload each exercise, it feels safe and secure. (Use a wide stance with any heavy lifts.)2) The ability to gradually increase weight for progressive overload is fantastic. I've seen really noticeable results in my arms, legs, back, and chest. And you can really load it up for deadlifts and squats.3) I had a band break on me, because of a mistake I made. The company replaced them despite me admitting my error and said that they stand by their product no matter what. They even gave me updates on the shipping progress of the replacement. And they sent me 2 instead of 1.4) I don't use this anywhere but at home, but it's nice and small and I can slide it under the bed in a second. It's easily portable for any sort of driving trip. Not sure I'd put it in a suitcase and on a plane, but you could. I just think all the bands might worry TSA.5) The overall construction feels solid. The base plate is good. The bar is 3 pieces, but it's rock solid and the padding is holding up well. The handles are plastic, but seem solid. The leg straps are easy to put on and take off.Overall just a really solid piece of gym equipment that has helped me get in surprisingly good shape. It's hard when you start loading up weight and that's perfect!

I really enjoy using this home gym! It folds up for easy, compact storage and though it is a simple system, it makes for a killer workout!My main motivations for buying this were cost efficiency, ease of use, and efficient storage, as I have limited space. It has checked all these boxes for me and I especially like that it provides the option to use a barbell or handles. My favorite exercises to perform using this have been squats (front and back), overhead press, and cable flies and reverse flies. Deadlifts and chest presses are the only exercises that seem to be suboptimal on this system, but using some creativity, you can overcome this (doing banded pushups and crossovers still pump up the chest and if you loop 1 or 2 bands on both sides, as you would for a banded push up, you could use this resistance for deadlifts).Also, the platform and bar are sturdy and the overall quality is very solid. I would recommend this item for those looking to get in a good workout from home without breaking the bank or taking up too much space.

Because I plan on being able to move, and needed something that would not take a team to move.Light and portable; I could take this to work with me if I wanted. It could fit in a backpack if I wanted to be creative.The straps feel STURDY. I've used these things before and they feel like they're going to snap and bust my face; or they're just not stable. These aren't "exactly" like weights but for the value I get from the other factors they're a tremendous value.Ease of use. I can have these set up and get through a full set in the time it takes to rack my weights.
