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.
Hoe versitile it is! What a great idea.
I love that it is space saving- i don’t have a lot of room for exercise equipment. email subscriber
I like that is has 30 resistant bands – some other systems are very intimadating but this is very appealing
I love how something w/ so many options available is that portable!
Wow I love how compact but so many different uses it has! I have a small apt. and space is so limited here, this would be perfect! And I have the middle age bulge, I so need this!
Love how compact it is!
I love how small it is and the ease of use. We have a small house and can’t afford the gym so this would be great to add to my workout!!
I liked that you can do over 70 different exercised with this and work on all parts of the body. The best part is it’s SO easy to store and you don’t have some big piece of equipment sitting in your house.
My doctor has encouraged me to go the gym but I won’t because I don’t want to be around all the people who are already fit! I will happily use this at home. The Journey Gym will work great because I do not have a lot of space in my home for regular sized gym equipment. Charlie will also use it for strength training.
The portability is the first attraction for me. We don’t have room for a permenant set up space and it would be great to be able to pack, store, and use in multiple rooms in the house.
Well I am due with baby number 2 Dec. 19th, so this would be perfect. I like the part in the video about the ab muscles. Im pretty sure Im going to be needing to work on my abs! Thanks, mamatkins@hotmail.com
it looks like something i can adapt to my handicap and be able to use regularly. i believe my doctor would approve it for me.
I like the fact that it has over 70 different exercise options. Gives a lot of options and I also LOVE the portability!

I like the fact that you can take it with you because it is so compact. Now when i want to exercise but don’t want to use the hotel gym, I can do it in my room 😉
I liked how it showed how easy it is to carry around and use pretty much anywhere.
I love how much “bang for the buck” you get in this compact case. No excuse for you in the “space” department yet it looks like you could get an incredible workout without leaving the house
This is amazing! The dear husband has been begging me to let him get a home gym, but we just don’t have the room! What interests me most is how compact and easy to store it is! Thanks for sharing.

The fact that it’s portable is pretty amazing. I hate huge workout machines that take up half of your living room.
I LOVE it’s portability! I’d be able to work out anywhere! I’d be embarrassed to go to a gym to get a similar workout, so being able to get the same quality exercise at home or on the road would be fabulous 😀
It’s portable and easy to take anywhere 🙂
