Journey Gym –the Fitness Laptop
The journey gym system retails for $2227 via Amazon!
Now, I can sit here trying to tell you about how great the Journey Gym is for circuit training and how it is capable of transforming where and when you work out, as you will always have a gym with you…but why don’t I let you watch this two minute video give you the details. The Video will answer every question and doubt you may have. Go ahead…I’ll work out on my Journey Gym while you watch…
The Chief Blonde Remarks: So now that you understand how easy to use, effective, and laptop-like the Journey Gym is, now I’ll tell you what I think of it–and more important, what my working-out husband thinks of it. I thought I would be confused by the initial set up. It just looked so organized and simple, I didn’t think I could figure it out. So I showed it to Walt–who can figure out most anything (without directions). So while he opened the Journey Gym and poked around, I read the 5 easy set-up steps. I gave Walt a couple of pointers (HAHA) and we had it set up in 1 minute–really!
So here is me giving it a try:
Teehee! Actually it is super easy to set up. You just open it, attach the legs, attach the handles to the level of resistance band and start working out, like I am in the picture above. The Journey Gym comes with a work out/training video–yipee! I am horrible at figuring how to work out myself. My husband feels that he could use it in place of the gym in the basement, when he travels or if he just wants to work out upstairs in front of the TV! He is an experienced gym rat so the 20 different resistance bands that deliver from 5 to 75 pounds of resistance (and are built right into the gym) are what made a difference in his mind. I am only 5′ 4″ so the design fits me well, but Walt is 6’6″ –he was surprised how the Journey Gym has adjustable handles (just one touch of a button) to quickly accommodate his height. The gym can accommodate two people working out at once and will hold up to 350 pounds. Walt is a mere 215 pounds–so I can’t be over 135 pounds if we were to use it at the same time…hmmm. Oh well, I don’t want to show him up, so we will probably use it separately. My absolute favorite part (other than the fact Walt loves it) is that it stows right into our entertainment center, where we can reach it easily for daily use! Women over 45 and their husbands (and younger women too) will love Journey Gym.
This looks easy to use and I love how easy it is to store so it’s not taking up room in the family room! It’s something hubby and I would both use too.
Where woud you buy it? At Amazon or gymjourney.com? Does it matter? And which of the 3 systems would you recommend? Core, essential or ultimate?
I would buy it at the most affordable place.
Umm that picture is not of you. It was taken from the journey gym website. lol
Yeah, I and all my readers know that. That’s why I put TEEHEE!
I was wondering if Journey Gym is something that can get me 360lb benchpress/squats on the go? I hate gyms and workout at home. but I want to do a lot of traveling for business and pleasure I don’t want to loose the strength it took me years to get to. If not is there a product similar to journey gum that can do so? I wouldn’t mind paying a premium for something like that.
I would say visit their website, it was very very informative. The Chief Blonde
New year new me
It didn’t take much convincing for me. I hate going to the gym and don’t have time everyday so being able to unfold the case and have a workout right there in front of me whenever I want would be amazing. Thanks for the chance to win!!!
I love the portability and the versatility of 70 different exercises. Its perfect for busy people who can’t make it to the gym like my family and me!!!!!
Love the idea it’s portable,lightweigh and interconnected. It’s the perfect gym on the go.
Please don’t count second blog post entry..had to do it to enter my other entries 🙂
thanks 🙂
I like that you can do so many various exercises since I am a fan of working out at home, and just knowing that I can do so much with it means I don’t have to buy much more in terms of equipment.
