BEFORE YOU BUY - This smart gym runs on a BATTERY? Is it any good?

We are back and this time we've got another piece of equipment that is perfect for home gyms and not necessarily even home gyms. We'll say home workouts because this thing can literally fit in any home whether you live in a small apartment in a giant house if you want to add it to your garage gym. This is something unique and something different and I think you guys are going to enjoy it. But before that, we have to open it up. Now, honest question, what is the better tool for opening boxes? Is it going to be the knife, the good old stab-a-roonie, the good old combat knife, or the Viking axe that we've always used? Me personally, I prefer to go with the axe. What do you think? What is better for opening boxes and doing unboxes? Knife or axe? I want to know in the comments. Now without further ado, let's open this bad boy up. Axe it is today. Let's do it. Here we have the Smart Home Gym Fitness Trainer and this thing goes up to 220 pounds. This is literally the box it comes in. You can see relatively how small this packaging is. So yes, pretty crazy already that this is a full gym capable piece of equipment. Let's open the actual thing up and see what this thing can do. Opens up just like that. Nicely packaged. Everything's nice and firm in here. Let's pop out the pieces. I'll just grab the camera and show you guys exactly how it comes right out of the box. You got everything right here. I'll show you all the components, all the pieces. We'll get it working and we'll test this bad boy out. Once you remove all the pieces here this foam piece should just pop right off and then this is the actual machine that we're gonna be using now it doesn't even seem that heavy for being something that offers 220 pounds of resistance i mean look i'm holding it up fairly easily it's not that heavy it's probably like 50 pounds so i'm just gonna get this packaging off of it all right now this is everything that comes in the packaging right here once you get it out of the box. So you have the actual machine and then all of the attachments that can be used for the exercises with the machine. Got some unique ones here too. We'll get into those in a bit but this is looking pretty cool so far. Comes with obviously a user manual which I'm gonna have to dig into to figure out how this thing actually operates because it doesn't seem to have a typical power cord that it needs to be plugged in like most of those smart gyms that you deal with let's see what this user manual says this is it basically tells you all the components everything that this thing comes with how it's built how it's designed i guess and then all the safety precautions equipment usage operation instructions everything you need to know is on here now this thing comes with a smart app. That is how you control the machine. So you download the app with your phone and then you can control everything via your phone. So there's no actual display screen that comes with this machine. Now, according to the instructions, you flip this thing on its side and there's a rechargeable battery that comes in this. So this is actually what powers this whole machine and this can be charged so you don't have to have it plugged into the wall. that's kind of blowing my mind. I'm curious about how powerful this battery is and how long it lasts for workouts. That's pretty awesome. Okay, so you take this battery pack, you connect it here like this. Oh, I just heard something. Pop this back in here, close it up. The fact that this thing is somehow battery powered and offers 220 pounds of resistance is blowing my mind. I need to see this thing in action okay so i was wrong there is a display on this little knob here we'll show you i guess basic information about the resistance and weight that you're going to be doing i guess yep you turn the knob that's 23 24 that's pounds of resistance on the right and the left side so we will take these two and set it up on uh both sides there we go all right i got 50 pounds of resistance in it. So there's no pullback once you get through your rep. So it's not a constant resistance. Like if I let go, it's not going to like slam into the ground. But as soon as I try to pull initially, I'm feeling the resistance. So then I come back, reset, and I feel the resistance. So it's safe in that sense where if you let go of it, it's not going to come slamming down. So right now, what are we at? We are at 55 pounds on each side. So, you know, I'm curling 55. Oh, it's pretty good. It feels like 55 pounds. Let's crank this thing up to max weight. So let's go a hundred pounds on both sides and we will see if it feels like 200 pounds total. Let's try it. Here we go. So coming up, it feels like a decent amount of resistance. I definitely can't curl it. So there's definitely a lot more resistance than when I had it set to 50 pounds. You know, you're doing something like rows it's got an interesting mechanic to it compared to other smart gyms or smart pieces of equipment that use this mechanical resistance that i've used the resistance is is not constant right so once you get through the rep you're pulling it's giving you the resistance as soon as you're done pulling and you go back there's no resistance anymore so it's a little different than what i'm used to with using the digital weights but it still accomplishes the goal and the fact that this thing is battery powered pretty damn cool let's get into the different attachments that this thing uses and show you guys some of the different exercises that you can actually do with it this seems to be their barbell it's basically three pieces and it looks like you screw them together into one big piece so yeah i mean it seems like decent quality right basically let's see how this thing feels 100 pounds let's see how that's gonna feel i don't I don't know if that's a hundred pounds. So I'm kind of feeling off on the weight. When you increase the weight, you definitely feel a difference in resistance. Now it's saying that I'm technically getting 200 pounds of resistance out of this right now. Let's try it again, set up here. So you gotta really make sure you pull evenly, right? Just giving you guys an honest review of this thing. Okay, so for deadlifts, just feels a little awkward. How about like an accessory lift, like a barbell curls. we got a set to like 60 pounds right now so we're here i mean it feels like a 60 pound barbell would feel if i was doing curls so definitely an interesting tool that you can add to your home gym or to your workouts in general the secret beauty of this product is going to be the fact that it's battery powered and that you can take it with you so obviously you're not going to drag this thing on the airplane but if you're going on a road trip you're going camping and you have somewhere flat that you can put this like a slab right or like on the concrete this thing's battery powered so you make sure it's charged before you leave you bring it with you and you have this exercise tool without bringing a bunch of weights barbells and all this stuff i can see myself throwing it in the trunk of our car we're driving down to LA for the weekend i got this thing in the hotel room i don't have to use the hotel gym because i can get a decent workout in using this for any kind of pulling or pushing motion now some of the other attachments that come with this a lot of places don't have this this is for the grip training right so you can pull and it's not going to be an even pull it's going to be pulling from here so you have to really work your grip when you're pulling so this is a cool attachment that comes with it you got this obviously for going to like mule kicks strap this onto your ankle you strap it around your arm the different exercises with this. Pretty cool. And then obviously your typical rope attachment, so you can do your curls and the different exercises with this. Now, the only thing with this is obviously only pull from the ground up. So any kind of exercise where that's the direction of the pull, you can't do any pulls down. Overall, pretty cool piece of equipment. I think it has a lot of potential. Like I said, in the fact that it's wireless, this thing does not have to be plugged into a wall anywhere you charge it you use it finish it up put it back on the charger to make sure it's working weight is fully adjustable here as you can see it goes all the way up to 100 pounds on each side this is like your POV when you're standing on it grab that bar grab the single arm attachments and use it i personally don't like the fact that the the resistance is only on the pull and then there's no back end resistance, but you can still get a lot done with that. Overall, great piece of equipment. I would give it a solid seven out of 10. The only other downside would be is how long does the battery last? But I would have to test something like that. You know, getting through all those reps, all those sets, how long would that battery last? If it can last you a full workout and then you throw it back on the charger and use it again, absolutely phenomenal. Comes with, you know, various attachments. I think they have it down as far as the size. This thing is so small, you can shove it under your bed, shove it in the trunk of your car, in the back seat. It is wireless, it has an app that comes with it. So they did go through a lot of cool features that they designed with it. I think that you could find some great value in it. And the thing is, it's a smart gym that's on the cheaper side when it comes to cost. So it doesn't cost as much as some of those other smart gyms out there that are thousands and thousands of dollars. Let me know what you think about it.
