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.
I LOVE how compact it is! Our house is crowded, and we don’t have room for any fancy gym equipment. This would be perfect to store under the couch.
I love how small and portable it is! Perfect for travel!
I love the fold out stepper and how compact the system is. I do not have a lot of room for fitness equipment so we like compact items! Thanks!
It provides everything you need for circuit training, what a cool product!!!
I like the part where it said it was designed for circuit workouts. My husband and I have incorporated circuit training into our fitness routine. This would be a great product to have to help us do this when we are at home or on the road.
I love how compact and portable it is. How easy to just throw in the car for business trips! It will help me work off those holiday pounds… 🙂
Love that it doesn’t take up alot of space yet you can get a full workout with it! Also that you can start at a resistance level your comfortable with and work your way up 🙂
I love the fact that I could use it when and where I want to. It’s so easy to move around. Now to just get rid of the dogs…

Okay, LOVE the portability! And there are SO many exercises that can be done with it. I really need this! Thanks for the giveaway!
I like the fact that the system is portable and enables you to be able to spontaneously work out.

This would have been so handy for when I was in Las Vegas last week. Great idea.
I like that it’s small and easy to carry with you.
I love that it is so versatile. I can workout when and where I want.
I loved watching them fold it up & take it out so easily! It’s so compact! I could keep it in my car for those times I don’t go home!
I like that it is so small, but have so many exercises with it.
That it takes up so little space when not in use!
I love that it travels anywhere that I go! Lunch workouts!
I really like that fact that it folds up so small and I could store it easily. And the abs is where I could really use it.

the portability
After watching the video, I decided I want a Journey Gym after learning that it provides a strength and cardio-workout through circuit training. Working in physical therapy, I know that circuit training is very effective at working at the muscle groups in a short time.
