BodyBoss

Does it beat going to the gym? NoIs it the best home gym option for the space and budget limited? In my opinion, YESIt is very versatile, you can use any nylon bands you may already have along with it to increase the resistance, and it stores away taking up almost no space at all. If you want to increase resistance, just get a few more bands (which are cheap and take up virtually no space). I have used a 70lb. band on it with no issuesThe platform has been surprisingly durable. The bar is very nice and sturdy. I understand the choice of bands, because they hold up better than nylon tubes. They can bunch up at times though, especially if you start stacking bands to increase resistance. Once you figure it out though, you can work around that relatively easy.I would advise this for anyone looking for an affordable, versatile option that can serve most any resistance exercise demand and stores away using VERY little space.

I do a lot of work travel (by car) in my region for several days at a time and this guy packs up pretty nicely in my large suitcase and beats the beat up hotel gyms for a maintenance workout. I do a lot with door mounted bands and free weights at home (not a gym guy) and this feels fairly equal to what I do at home. (Though I have used the adjoining room door for my bands before in a pinch)Took a minute to get used to the different ways to run the bands, but once I figured it out it was pretty quick and easy.Overall not too shabby at all. Like that I can order additional bands as needed to increase resistance.

The Body Boss 2.0 is VERY portable with minimal space required for transport. It arrives in a colorful box with everything inside very well secured and is a very pleasing to the eyes upon opening. Upon the initial opening and unpacking, of the box, I was very impressed with the quality of the components. I originally had concerns the platform would not be stable enough or sturdy, but much to my surprise it was both sturdy and stable. This is of particular importance to me as I hope to get this product in use by many truck drivers! I do wish they would make the following improvements: 1. varying weights of resistance bands (contacted them and they are already working on them), and 2. a printed set of instructions, they do email you a pdf of instructions but as a trucker, I have limited access to printing so already done would be great! The Body Boss 2.0 does come with access to to Body boss tv which has a nice variety of workouts. As an OTR Truck Driver, I have tried many different forms of exercise, everything from pure body weight resistance to resistance bands and elastic bands, and have even tried to carry a set of free weights in the truck. Body Boss 2.0 is by far the best option I have used or seen to date. I have not yet put it fully to use due to an injury sustained in a accident shortly after ordering, but I am utilizing it in a series of different exercises designed specifically by my physical therapist using the Body Boss 2.0. I took it in to the office and he was quite impressed, and felt it would beneficial to others as well. If you are looking for an easy to use portable home gym, this is it! I would suggest order the exercise wheel at the same time. Having spent a lifetime focused on fitness and utilizing much gym equipment, I do strongly feel you can achieve gym quality results, at home or on the go using the Body Boss 2.0. I did have one clip on the end of a band that was faulty, but usable. I have contacted customer service and they are sending out a replacement which I am sure should arrive soon, I'll post here when it does. Great Customer service, amazing, well made product and when they release the new bands and a printed book, this will bump to 5 stars.

I really love this. I am a gym junkie. So when all the gyms closed due to covid19 I was very worried.I ordered extra bands at the suggestion of someone else. But they’re much longer than the bands that came with this. If you’re creative you can figure out how to run these multiple ways through multiple hooks for the tension you need.I can do squats on this thing but I end up doing sets of 20. Research shows that high reps work the same as heavy low reps, as long as you work til failure on your reps. Deadlifts I have been using this for single leg deadlifts instead. It’s actually a great workout for your whole lower body. I was never able to get the balance right but... it turns out using the tension with bands makes then balance much easier without taking out any intensity. Brilliant. Bench press, I can lay down on this thing, it’s not super comfortable.. but I can get the straps short enough through multiple hooks that I get to exhaustion.The only thing I don’t like about working out with bands is that you only you don’t work your muscles when you’re lowering the lift; only raising. Thus one more reason I need almost double the reps.But there is absolutely no doubt that I am getting an intense workout. I still really miss the gym don’t get me wrong.

- Very easy to assemble and use.- I haven't had it long enough to give a sturdiness rating but I am a dense 225 pounds and it held me without snapping in half.- the resistance band is a little light for me but does give a fair amount of tension if the exercise directions are followed.- got the pink band cover and the material is thick and feels like it is of good quality to protect the band, plus really brightly colored. (my wife's favorite color is pink and she loves it)- I bought some additional bands from another vendor and will update on the sturdiness of the bar and platform after I use them (and read max function weight, lol)- I suggest buying a bench or yoga blocks to help with chest presses, etc.All in all, I feel like it is a really good buy, especially with all the gyms closed for who knows how long. Easy way to grab a quick workout on the way to the fridge for a snack :-)

I bought this for my wife and she absolutely loves it. The band board is well built and provides great versatility. Maintains a small footprint in our home gym.
