Best Workout Programs and Exercise Equipment for Home

Tweet

There are numerous home workout systems and programs out there. There are also quite a few different types of home exercise equipment on the market.

To help you navigate in the world of home workout and exercise, we’d like to bring you our today’s “top ten” list where we would like to bring you ten quality products to consider. The ranking is based on the popularity of these different programs and systems among consumers:

1. Total Gym — You may have seen Chuck Norris and Christie Brinkley endorse Total Gym on TV. They’ve been doing it for over 10 years… Total Gym’s main selling point is that they provide “an entire gym full of equipment in one machine”. They carry three distinct models; and position themselves as a product “for all demographics — ages 8-80 and from beginner to advanced fitness levels”. They have a 30-day risk free trial, often offer free shipping; and the product requires no assembly, which is always a plus.
2. The Flex Belt — Having undergone numerous clinical trials, this has, actually become the first product of its kind cleared by the FDA “for toning, tightening, and strengthening abdominal muscles.” Once it’s on, it “stimulates the nerves that make your muscles contract and relax” yielding an effective and very targeted workout. They recommend using it for 30 minutes a day. Abdomen muscles are known for their capacity to restore quickly. So, the product can be used daily.

Bowflex Home Gyms — They offer 3 all-in-one type of machines: Bowflex® Classic Home Gym (priced at ~$650), Bowflex Xtreme® 2 SE Home Gym (costs approximately $1,600), and Bowflex Revolution® Home Gym (price: ~$3,000). Bowflex frequently runs online offers, and, as many others on this list, offers free shipping too.
4. Live Strong Fitness — This home fitness-oriented online store offers a “complete line of treadmills, elliptical trainers and exercise bikes direct from the manufacturer” — and, naturally so, as they are “the manufacturer” themselves. They have an excellent selection of all sorts of home exercise equipment, free shipping, a 30-day guarantee, and they also donate a portion of their revenue to Lance Armstrong Foundation to fight against cancer.
5. 1800Treadmill.com — Wide selection of treadmills, ellipticals and exercise bikes. Prices start at $299, 30-day “no questions asked” trial (as with the majority of other suppliers listed here) included, ongoing sales, free shipping on all products included.
6. TRX Suspension Training — TRX “provides a total-body workout for men and women of all ages and fitness levels with just one piece of equipment that is easy to set up, use and store”. Such famous athletes as Drew Brees, Carmelo Anthony, and Jamie Moyer use it, and endorse it. TRX offers “a 30-day 100% satisfaction guarantee, a one year limited replacement warranty and access to free workouts and training tips in the TRX Community”.
7. Beach Body — They offer a number of popular in-home fitness and weight loss solutions, including: P90X and P90X Plus (aka “ripped in 90 days” products), Power90, Slim in 6, Turbo Jam, Hip Hop Abs, 10 Minute Trainer, and INSANITY. Most of their products focus on transforming your body in 60-90 days.
8. Nexersys — They sell what they call an “iNTELLIGENT and iNTERACTIVE iPower Trainer” which combines “the latest in exercise equipment and interactive gaming” and delivers “the motivation of a personal trainer, the benefits of a mixed martial arts high-intensity interval training workout, and the entertainment and feedback available from today’s gaming and computer technology”. It helps you do your cardio, improving endurance, inceasing strength, and improving mental acuity. Very interesting product, which is worth checking out.
9. RushFit — This is “the ultimate home training camp, developed by mixed martial arts fighter and UFC champion Georges St-Pierre (GSP, one of the 25 Fittest Men in the World by Men’s Fitness magazine) and his trainer Erik Ownings”. The system consists of a set of DVDs featuring a “complete and intense MMA style total body conditioning program — a series of highly efficient and powerful workouts, broken down into five separate 5 minute rounds”. They do have a 30-day money back guarantee, which is good to know.
10. iTRAIN — This one is very different from the rest that we’re listing here. They sell “highly motivating audio workout downloads combining high energy music and voice over of celebrity fitness trainers to motivate you through your workouts”. They have three purchasing options you can use for your workouts: A La Carte (starting at $0.99), Monthly Motivator (some $40-45 for every 3-4 months), and an Unlimited Resolution Package which gives access to their entire library of 300+ workouts ($150 for 12 months’ access).
