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.
Ok so *I probably wouldn’t use this but dh would love it! He could take this with him to work and be able to work out during his lunch!
What is most appealing in the video to make me want to get a Portable Journey Gym is actually that it is portable. I’m always on the go so this would be just perfect for me :). I’m ready to begin my health journey.
Thank you for the chance to win and thanks to Journey Gym as well.
I love the portable quality!
The compactness and portability are both a plus in my book.
I love how it showed how easily it folds up and can be taken around!
Portablity and versatility. I travel a lot with work and this would be great take with me. Missing workouts is the worse.
What convinced me in the video is the portabilty. I can take this when I travel and use in my hotel room!
This is SO COOL. I like that it’s compact and portable. I don’t have time or money to join a gym. The only time I have to work out is when my girls are asleep and I don’t have the space for any work out equipment.
Having begun the long process of recovering from back surgery I like the portability piece of the gym because I can actually lift it without worrying about exceeding my weight limits.
Well the guy was a bit funny. I mostly love the size. I mean really who wants a huge piece of equipment sitting in the room when not in use.
Thanks!
love that this is potable and will travel with you
I like that the case itself becomes a workout bench.
I liked in the video how they showed how easy this was to set up and to put away, and that it’s very portable!
I like how your own resistance is used!
i love that it’s portable!!
I like the results!
While I cracked up while the woman in blue is working out while the guy is sitting lazily on the couch, watching her, I’d say that the part that really enticed me was when it showed her using it as a cardio tool as well as weight bands. Seriously? So simple but AWESOME!
hahah The look of the muscles actually flexing and working!
I really like that fact that it folds up so small so that I can easily stash it in my living room.
Loved the part about exercising your abdominal muscles, which I need badly! Plus, it easy to take with me! WOW! Amazing!
