Transform Your Living Space into a Fitness Hub with the Highly Compact Gympad All-in-One Bench

Posted on 15/08/2024 by Gaurav Sood

There is a substantial increase in the number of portable home exercisers taking the crowdfunding route. The most recent was the table-size foldable rowing machine for an all-inclusive gym experience at home. During the pandemic, gyms were adversely affected by attendance; people confined themselves to their homes – stocked with exercise equipment somehow – and never looked back at gyms.

Arguably, this number has been constantly increasing since then. Even though, in most cases, this setup is nothing compared to the gear and variety at the local gym. To fill the void, compact all-in-one home exercisers, which look perfectly in place at home and are versatile to permit a range of workouts, are dropping faster than the gyms sprouting in my locality.

Gympad Bench is the latest one to jump onto the bandwagon of an all-in-one home gym system. It is a professional-level home gym that fits into a compact size for easy transportation and values the precious space in your apartment. Despite its small form factor, it can let an enthusiast indulge in a range of workouts, offering dumbbell racks, stretching space, cardio equipment, a strength training machine, and a bench among other options.

Designed for everyone, who fancies a versatile home gym facility, but doesn’t have the luxury of extra space to create a gym, the Gympad Bench takes as little as 0.35 sqm of space at home. It is made to look like a contemporary piece of furniture; so, when it’s not in use, and is just sitting there unattended, it won’t look off. The compact bench will fit seamlessly in your living environment while opening up to various workout options and comprehensive strength training.

When sitting there on a bench, the Gympad hides all the equipment within, other than the set of dumbbells on the sides. The bench is equipped with a pair of wheels for moving it conveniently from the sitting location to the action spot when you need it. While the standard variant comes integrated with full-body workout machines like dumbbells and barbells, weight machines, leg presses, chest fly, and cable crossover machines; all fitted into one unit, its Plus version adds a rower to the equation, unlocking a whole new range of exercise options.

The Gympad bench is a smart machine that syncs up with your smartphone, using a dedicated app, to display workout data such as fat burns, range of motion, strength score, sets, reps, or even dynamic weight adjustments. Weight adjustments are digital and an external knob is added to control the resistance ranging between 16 to 80kg; the highest in a smart gym bench on the market, the company behind the Gympad claims. Further stating that unlike most other home gyms competitors, which require subscriptions to use their training modules, Gympad bench delivers a comprehensive app for no additional fee.

This Compact Folding Rowing Machine gives you an All-in-one Gym the size of a Side Table

Posted on 24/07/2024 by Sarang Sheth

For many people, the dream of a home gym often gets snagged on the harsh reality of limited space. Traditional rowing machines, with their long frames and bulky builds, can feel intrusive in a compact apartment or cluttered living room. Rowing machines, although the perfect example of a healthy, full-body workout, aren’t really designed to be space-saving, or even good-looking, to be honest. They’re designed to be used, and then hidden away, which makes their large, cumbersome design unsuitable for most homes (not necessarily just smaller apartments). In comes the JOYSONG Cube Rower, with its IKEA meets Pottery Barn meets Planet Fitness approach. Designed to be compact, multipurpose, aesthetic, and highly effective, the JOYSONG Cube Rower gives you the full rowing machine experience in a space-saving form factor. Its unique design is perfect for rowing, but also lets you do more than 80 other exercises (so you aren’t restricted to just one boring workout), and when you’re done sweating it out, the JOYSONG Cube Rower folds down into a form factor no larger than a side table, with a wooden exterior that allows it to perfectly blend into apartments without looking as obnoxious as a Peloton.

Designer: The JOYSONG Team

Click Here to Buy Now: $649 ~~$999~~ (35% off). Hurry, only 466/500 left! Raised over $222,000.

The key feature of the JOYSONG Cube Rower lies in its name – the cube. This ingenious design allows the machine to fold up into a compact cube after your workout, taking up minimal floor space. At just 55cm in height when folded, the JOYSONG Cube Rower practically disappears into your home, occupying a fraction of the space your conventional home gym would. Besides, a leather seat on top of the cube means your rower actually doubles as a stool when not in use, giving you a multipurpose piece of furniture that you can exercise with. When it’s time to exercise, the Cube Rower unfolds in minutes, transforming into an extensive rowing apparatus complete with an app as well as real-life training videos you can watch on TV as you row, creating a simulation-like experience that has you feeling like you’re really on a lake with a boat. For users who prefer not to use an app, the rowing machine includes a digital display screen that enables them to track and record their workout data.

Under the JOYSONG Compact Cube Rower’s hood lies a powerful Water & Magnetic Resistance system that provides the resistance required to facilitate your exercise. The dynamic duo of ferromagnets and fluid allows you to experience the smooth feel of magnetic resistance while simultaneously enjoying the realistic dynamics of rowing on water. Combined, they provide up to 30 kilograms of resistance, which can be easily adjusted through a digital panel, making it suitable for beginners who are just starting their fitness journey or seasoned athletes looking for a challenging workout.

Once you’ve set the rower up, strapped yourself in, and set the resistance level of your choice, an app lets you transform your mundane exercise into something truly adrenaline-pumping. JOYSONG’s rowing app boasts a catalog of more than 40,000 real-life training videos that let you visualize rowing in a way that truly feels immersive. Designed to be compatible with large screens like your television, the app lets you broadcast real-life PoV rowing videos that put you in the driver’s (rower’s) seat quite literally. The videos act as a simulation while encouraging you to follow along, while the app captures your workout progress for you.

However, if you want to do more than just rowing, JOYSONG also has a variant of the Cube Rower that also packs a home gym in its design. Exactly the same size as the Compact Cube Rower (and with the same foldable format), the ‘Home Gym Cube Rower’ has a few more modifications that lets you do rowing along with 80 other exercises from crunches to bench presses, chest flies, stretches, or even yoga. To facilitate this, the Home Gym Cube Rower ditches the Water + Magnetic resistance system for pure magnetic resistance, along with the ability to simulate up to 40 kilograms of weight, adjustable to 24 different levels for novices and experts. From yoga to pilates, strength training, and other core exercises, the Home Gym Cube Rower lets you switch things up, focus on specific body parts, and frankly do more than just row all the time. Whether you’re looking to improve your cardiovascular health, build muscle strength, or increase your flexibility, the Home Gym Cube Rower brings an entire gym to your home without those pesky membership fees, sweaty people, or bulky equipment.

Both variants of the Cube Rower (with and without the Home Gym) come with the exact same folded size of 618 x 454 x 555 millimeters (24.3 x 17.8 x 21.8 inches), although the Home Gym Cube Rower weighs a little more at 65 kilograms (143.3lbs) as compared to the Compact Cube Rower 52 kilograms (114.6lbs). This is also where the built-in wheel system helps, allowing you to move the Compact Cube Rower around to any part of your house. The outer body for both are crafted from Quercus Rubra or Northern Red Oak, with a strong yet lightweight aluminum alloy frame on the inside. Finally, a leather seat puts you in the lap of comfort while you exercise, and pops right on top of the Cube Rower when not in use, allowing it to double as a nifty stool that you can easily place anywhere around your home!

Maximize Workout, Minimize Space: The MAJOR FITNESS F35 is an Advanced All-in-one Home Gym

Posted on 27/11/2023 by Sarang Sheth

They say the best way to be consistent with something is to remove obstacles. Bought a guitar but aren’t playing it because it’s in a case? Take it out and keep it right beside your bedside so you find it easier to pick up every now and then. Got yourself a gym membership but couldn’t be bothered to go to the gym? Just get the gym to you! The guys at MAJOR FITNESS have designed what can only be described as the most comprehensive home gym ever. Designed to be attached to a wall in your house (or preferably your garage), the MAJOR FITNESS LIGHTNING F35 is a foldable gym that packs more than 80 exercises designed to target every major muscle group. It’s comprehensive, featuring a cable crossover system, a power rack, a multi-grip pull-up bar, and a landmine – everything you’d find at your nearby gym… but more importantly, it’s compact and folds right into your wall, occupying a few inches of space when not in use.

Designer: Major Fitness

Click Here to Buy Now: $849 ~~$1099~~ (22% off). Hurry, only 6 left! Raised over $260,000.

Easily one of the most compelling aspects of the MAJOR FITNESS F35 is its space-saving design. As home gyms have risen in popularity, especially in urban environments where living spaces are often compact, the need for multi-functional and space-efficient gym equipment has become more pronounced. The MAJOR FITNESS F35 is designed with this in mind, with a folding form that’s a perfect fit for apartment dwellers or those with limited space. It can seamlessly transform a small area into a comprehensive home gym, challenging the notion that effective strength training requires a large, dedicated space. The folding feature, aside from being much more intuitively designed than other wall racks (and offering 7 angles), even allows exercising in various positions, increasing versatility and variety. This puts the ball (and gym) in your court, giving you the freedom to train whenever you want right in the comfort of your home. Just try looking for an excuse now!

While many space-saving fitness solutions often cut corners in functionality, the MAJOR FITNESS F35 offers no such compromise. This folding power rack, when paired with weight plates, offers over 30 different exercises, going up to 80 different exercises when combined with additional accessories. It successfully integrates four distinct training systems: a cable crossover system, a power rack, a multi-grip pull-up bar, and a landmine. This amalgamation is not just about adding numbers to the list of possible exercises; it’s about ensuring that users can engage comprehensively with different muscle groups and workout styles.

Firstly, the cable crossover system in the F35 is a standout feature. It allows for a variety of exercises that target multiple muscle groups. Users can engage in exercises like cable flys, tricep pushdowns, and bicep curls. This system is particularly beneficial for those looking to engage in isolation exercises that focus on specific muscle groups, offering a level of workout specificity that’s often missing in home gym setups. The cable system can be both height as well as angle-adjusted (with 15 height adjustments) and has a max weight capacity of 132 lbs, offering a safe experience even for intense workouts.

Next, the power rack component of the F35 is central to its functionality. It enables classic strength training exercises such as squats, bench presses, and deadlifts. The power rack is designed to support heavy weights, catering to both beginners and advanced lifters. This feature is crucial for users focusing on compound movements that work multiple muscle groups simultaneously, providing the foundation for strength and muscle-building workouts. The J-hooks and safety arms have up to 13 different height adjustments to choose from, and the J-hook itself can withstand a whopping 660 lbs of weight for those monster deadlifts.

The multi-grip pull-up bar is another versatile feature. It accommodates a variety of grip positions – wide, narrow, and neutral – allowing users to target different parts of their upper body, especially the back, biceps, and shoulders. Exercises such as pull-ups and chin-ups are essential for developing upper body strength and are a staple in many workout routines.

Lastly, the inclusion of a landmine adds a dynamic component to the F35. This feature allows for rotational exercises that are often overlooked in standard gym setups. Users can perform landmine presses, rows, and rotational movements, which are excellent for core strengthening and functional fitness.

The MAJOR FITNESS F35 comes with a design that’s easy to assemble with no power tools or extra equipment. Written instructions, DIY setup videos, and even phone support and live-chat help allow you to assemble your MAJOR FITNESS F35 without any hiccups. Its IKEA-like construction allows it to ship flat-packed, where you can then unpack and install it in a jiffy, securing it to a wall for extra stability and anchoring. Once installed, your home gym is ready for you and even a partner or a buddy to use simultaneously. Double pulleys (one on each side) allow you to have a shared workout with your friend or partner when you’re not spotting each other. All this in the privacy of your home, without those annoying gym memberships and crowded, sweaty gyms.

Your F35 comes in 3 color options – grey, black, and red. When folded, it measures 83.8 inches tall, 68.5 inches wide, and 20.9 inches deep, opening up to 103.9 inches wide and 56.3 inches deep when fully opened. Each MAJOR FITNESS F35 comes with a 3-year warranty on the product. You can grab yours for as low as $849 (which also includes the customs fee), with the MAJOR FITNESS F35 delivering this month (November 2023) with 48-hour expedited shipping for US customers… that’s just in time for your New Year fitness resolution!

This smart pull-up bar enhances home workout regimes with goal-oriented approach

Posted on 15/08/2023 by Gaurav Sood

Working out is the best thing you can do for a healthy lifestyle but some skip this regime owing to time constraints. Having a home gym setup is the best option to get over this quandary, provided it is a compact one. That’s because elaborate gym setups take up a lot of space and most homes don’t have this luxury. More so when city apartment living is a trend and space is a luxury.

This calls for a compact smart gym that takes up minimum space with maximum results when it comes to working out each day. The best thing you can invest in is a pull-up bar and also perform daily push-ups. For the former one needs specialized equipment, while the latter can be performed anywhere. So how about a smart pull-up bar that integrates with your other smart home gym equipment?

Designer: Louis Berger

Pull-ups can be great for toning back muscles, shoulders, forearms and triceps – provided the form is correct and other parts of the body are not unnecessarily strained. This smart pull-up bar dubbed Grip is designed to ensure that each one of your pull-ups is as perfect as it can be. The smart sensors on the hand grips and middle section of the bar keep track of the correct posture and beam prompts if anything is out of order.

The integrated smartphone app keeps track of your daily activity and creates automatic workout plans best suited for you. The added sensors for tracking body fat and muscle mass guide you through the process to achieve the desired fit body shape. This smart bar can be combined with other workout accessories to widen the scope of workouts possible at home without the need for any bulky machines.

Grip pull-up bar can be adjusted for the best ergonomic positioning depending on each individual’s needs. Thus, making it a compact workout accessory for any kind of fitness enthusiast who doesn’t want to restrict daily workouts due to constricted indoor space.

This innovative home exercise equipment integrates a punching bag, smart speaker and interactive illumination technology

Posted on 26/08/2022 by Srishti Mitra

The COVID-19 pandemic definitely taught us one thing – that health is wealth, And, now that gyms have opened up, our workout routines have finally achieved a certain semblance of normalcy! However, if you’re still a bit of a lazy bum (like me), and actually landing up at the gym can feel like a task on most days, then BOOM may be the product for you. Designed by Shuxian Hong, Boom is a smart boxing bag meant to bring the workout experience to your home. It integrates a punching bag, a smart speaker, and interactive illumination technology into a streamlined boxing experience, designed specifically for your home.

Designer: Shuxian Hong

Boxing is an amazing source of cardio – that can be extremely helpful for people suffering from heart diseases, diabetes, and obesity. However, training at home with a boxing bag isn’t something people prefer to do. Before designing Boom, Hong visited an underground boxing club, wherein she spoke to the students, and discovered, that even though many of them own a boxing bag at home, they rarely use it. It is often difficult to enjoy boxing without the thrilling and adrenaline-creating environment of a gym or a boxing studio. Through Boom, Hong wanted to reinvent the boxing experience, making it enjoyable even in the comfort of your own home.

When not being used to actually box, Boom can function as a home speaker, that perfectly merges with the rest of your living space. You can pair it up with your TV or other smart devices, and activate it via Siri or Alexa, through a simple command. When you use Boom to box, the interactive lighting system starts up! Lighting elements, lively music, and voice instructions create a truly interactive and engaging boxing experience. Amped with a Smart Coach app, the device creates custom fitness plans and workout routines for you. It even provides tutorial kits depending on the user – whether it’s a family, a solo trainer, or couple! It also visualizes the user’s progress to help track progress, and create routines based on individual progress.

Measuring 68 inches, it’s perfect for users of different heights to practice boxing aimed at the entire range of the body. The main punching bag is placed on a rounded speaker which functions as the base platform of the product. The bag has been filled with high-density foam, and wrapped up in synthetic leather, with an electronic pressure sensor placed underneath. A piece of durable photic fabric is wrapped around the entire bag as well, which also features an illuminated optical fiber with LED lights. To ensure that the product stands stably, and does not move at all, a base with weighted sand has been added to facilitate roll relocation. Ten suction cups provide further support to the bag.

The Boom is a modern-style boxing bag, that functions as great exercise equipment for your home. It encourages an interactive workout routine, which you can personally track and monitor. And, when not in use it doubles up as a handy piece of tech, which harmoniously blends with your home.

Clever and thoughtful home gym lets you exercise in the living room without compromising décor

Posted on 19/08/2022 by Gaurav Sood

Through the pandemic, when public gyms were least populated, a parallel industry of home gyms has come to the fore. Home gyms are particularly designed to provide you with exercise equipment and put you in front of a motion tracking camera that relays real-time information about posture, reps and other details to a trainer on the other side of a connected screen. The real-time coaching (in the comfort and safety of the house) has propelled the industry to a high where memberships of virtual trainers are skyrocketing at the cost of physical instructors in the gym down the street.

The idea of a home gym was revolutionized by the Tempo Studio gym set which comes complete with a display and motion-tracking camera that actively scans and monitors your exercise in 3D. The entire set, with all the equipment hiding within its storage cabinet, occupies three square feet of your house’s real estate. This guy appeared a little plasticky and displeasing despite its sleek all-in-one design. To give us a better, compact and more interesting way to get fit well within the confines of the home, without compromising the décor, the makers behind the Studio set have now come up with the Tempo Move.

Designer: Level Design

The compact home gym is more than just an exercise assistant. This fitness accessory is designed to stand next to your furniture in the living room and eliminate your runs to the store room for gymming. Tempo Move is a sublime blend of materials, colors and finishes, which makes it a discrete piece of furniture to turn your living space into a home gym. The workout equipment goes behind the fabric cabinet while the top feature an iPhone dock compatible with iPhone XR and upward. With the unique combination of furniture and gym, Tempo Move connects to any large screen TV to let you see your exercise routine and have the trainers coach you in real-time.

From the pictures here, you would have made out; Move is unlike anything anyone would associate with a gym. The metal body of the console is clad in warm fabric for an elegant look. Unless you open the cabinet, anyone would mistake it for an elegant cabinet you’d bought from Wayfair. The more techie would mistake it for an iPhone dock, only to realize its reality when it would refuse to blast the tones from the docked iPhone. For you, using HDMI you can connect the Move to your TV set and workout with ease along with the models on the large screen.

The neat-looking Tempo Move console houses within its cabinetry 16 weight plates, 4 weight collars, 2 dumbbells, and a heart rate monitor. The weight plates and dumbbells all stay put in their sectional grooves. You can, therefore, pull out or roll back the equipment in a smooth motion without injuring the console. Did you want a gym that would let you exercise conveniently in the living room? Tempo Move is here!

2022 is here – it’s a new year, and that means new fitness goals! And, the frenzy of a fresh new year has honestly got me super fitness-oriented! I’ve been making efforts to work out regularly, eat cleaner, hydrate abundantly, and move my body about as much as I can.

This prevents injuries and ensures we work out in the correct and safe manner, without pushing or damaging our bodies. In an attempt to meet our fitness resolutions for 2022, we’ve curated a collection of super fun and functional exercise equipment for you!

1. Peleton Vibe

Peloton Vibe caters to every sense and muscle from start to finish, it is truly a whole vibe. The bench has a unique multi-position arm that can be moved to work with a variety of exercises. The lower portion stores a set of dumbbells that help expand to a larger range of guided workouts by the Peloton App service. Once you complete your workout, the bench seat and arm surface seamlessly transform into a massage experience. It utilizes built-in massage balls that can rotate and heat up based on your preferences. At-home gym equipment AND at-home spa? I would work out more often simply so I can make the most of the heated massage feature.

2. Floe

Recognized by Good Design for 2021’s Sport and Lifestyle category, Floe appears as a simple, backless bench, but hidden storage compartments reveal much more. Stocked with everything you might need in the gym, including a yoga mat, foam roller, kettlebell, and medicine ball, Floe even comes with a virtual coaching feature similar to the services found on Peloton. Equipped with an extendable viewing stand and iPad, Floe users can follow along with programmed workouts in the comfort of their own homes. From yoga to weight training, Floe offers it all and transforms back into an inconspicuous entryway bench once the sweat session ends.

3. WHOOP

Having garnered the support of world-class sportspeople like LeBron James among other Olympic athletes, WHOOP has revolutionized human fitness and performance through its combination of tracking physiological data and providing real-time effective coaching to help reduce injury and boost performance. Currently, in its 4th edition, the band, created by design studio Aruliden for WHOOP, sports a smaller, smarter, more streamlined design that features the tracking device itself, along with an interchangeable fabric band that lets you simply and easily swap bands to suit your fashion needs or match your outfit.

4. The ARENA

The ARENA creates a workout system that can be used across over 300 movement types and in tandem with multiple styles from strength training to cardio, HIIT, athletic training, conditioning, weight-loss, and even recovery. ARENA provides a physical platform for you to work out on, while a motor-controlled high-performance cable passes from within it, giving you the ability to simulate a variety of exercises. The cable is controlled by algorithms within the ARENA that can simulate any force curve as well as dynamically adapt to users speed of movement to help you achieve your desired training result (muscle gain, weight loss…)

5. The TechnoGym Bench

The TechnoGym Bench is your perfect alibi towards the goal of a healthy lifestyle without any unnecessary frills. This sleek and versatile bench holds all your workout tools and doubles as a workout leverage point for many different exercises. Thus, satisfying your need for a complete workout from the confines of your home if you are skeptical about heading to the gym amidst the ongoing pandemic. The functional training kit includes a myriad of over 200 body workouts. There are tools such as elastic bands, hexagon dumbbells, weighted knuckles, and a training mat – in a compact footprint to cater to all your workout needs. Perfect for small apartments or urban spaces where space is at a premium.

6. AIIR

Developed from a collaboration between personal trainers and product designers, AIIR was designed to reduce joint stress and promote healthy posture. Contained within an 8.5″ x 6″ travel case, AIIR Flow is the smaller of the two workout kits and comes with two durable, carbon-steel push-up bars so you can get an arm and chest workout anywhere. The push-up bars come with spring-loaded, folding supports that dislodge from and fold inside both ends of each handle for ultimate portability. The push-up bars pack down to the size of a water bottle and can support up to 300lbs when in use. Each handle was designed to be ergonomic and promote healthy posture through a slightly inclined and elevated build.

7. Movano Ring

It’s easy to mistake the Movano Ring as a fashion accessory rather than a health tracker, coming in Gold, Silver, Copper, and Black colors. The open-loop or twisted design gives it more personality while also ensuring that it can adjust to any finger size. More importantly, you won’t see the bare electronics underneath, unlike on the Oura, at least if product renders are to be believed. Movano’s wearable isn’t just a pretty face, though, and it promises the staple features you’d find on larger wearables. That includes measuring heart rate and heart rate variability, sleep, respiration, temperature, blood oxygen levels, steps, and calories. It correlates this data and transforms them into information and advice that most people will be able to understand, rather than having to rely on charts and graphs to try and make sense of all the figures.

8. The Speedmax

From the makers of the 3-in-1 minitool also comes the Speedmax, an incredibly capable bike designed to dominate triathlons. By providing more configuration options, optimized aerodynamics, even more, innovative integration solutions, and storage spaces with a more streamlined design, the bike was built to give the triathlete every possible performance advantage. Canyon also worked hand-in-hand with Artefakt, a German-based design studio that played an instrumental role in developing the Speedmax series ever since its debut in 2010.

9. The CLMBR

Meet the CLMBR, it’s a combination of an elliptical trainer, a bench-press, a stationary cycle, and has elements of cardio dancing, HIIT training, and even rock-climbing in it. Designed to give every single muscle in your body an intense workout, the CLMBR helps 60% more calories than running, rowing & bike workouts… and its vertical design allows it to fit into the smallest of homes and rooms. On the floor, the CLMBR occupies roughly 3×3 feet of space or about as much as two doormats. Most of the CLMBR’s gear is oriented vertically, which allows it to do two things – A. Occupy a fraction of the space of a home-gym yet give you all of it, and B. Use gravity to its advantage to make your workouts more intense and effective.

10. The NIKE AIRBUDDY

Designed as a response to several restrictions imposed during the lockdown, the NIKE AIRBUDDY is a conceptual drone that ‘spots’ you while you exercise. It can be carried around via a shoulder strap located on the base of the drone and can be deployed anywhere. Once in the air, the drone connects with your Nike Fitness App and tracks your performance, giving you a comprehensive breakdown of your routine at the end. The drone embodies a clean, sophisticated design language, with 4 rotors branching out of a capsule-shaped body. The drone’s body is outfitted with a single camera that acts as a watchful eye, observing every movement you make like a trainer would.

Floe is a fully stocked home gym system that comes with everything from weight training accessories to virtual coaching features to bring the convenience of a private gym to the comfort of your living room.

The pandemic changed the at-home fitness game forever. Stuck at home during quarantine, fitness was at forefront of our minds. Without access to public or private gyms, our homes transformed into temporary fitness centers. Our living rooms, basements, and offices became multipurpose rooms filled with a mix of work desks, kettlebells, smart televisions, and yoga mats. Consolidating all of our fitness needs into a single product, Australian design group Blue Sky created Floe Fit, an at-home fitness system that has it all, including virtual coaching.

Featuring hidden storage compartments and slide-out drawers, Floe looks like any other piece of furniture during the day, adapting nicely to any living room or office. Then, when the need for movement starts to itch, Floe instantly turns into your personal home gym, providing you with everything you might need for a good sweat. From virtual training to weight training accessories, Floe’s winning the at-home fitness game.

The pandemic has restrained most of us to our homes, and not that we needed any more excuses to bunk the gym, but now we have a legitimate one – there’s literally a virus on the loose! But ignoring our health and fitness is something we simply cannot afford to do anymore. If there’s one thing that COVID-19 has instilled into us, it’s that health really is wealth. And, as much as I love procrastinating, and putting off any form of exercise for as long as I can, I cannot deny the fact that health must be considered a top priority for us all.
