It works well - convenient and easy to store. i haven't fully experienced all it's functions but it has lots of features to move through beginner to advance. you do feel the burn if you are using it correctly. i use it while im watching tv for about 20 min.

Wish I bought the extra bands. This product is perfect for small spaces and travel.

The bands have way too much slack and lose all tension for lower body workouts. It makes the tension no different than body weight exercises. I think the door anchor and handles are worth it, but you definitely don't need the base for anything.

I'm sorry that I bought this. The platform is a complete waste. I can hook up the stretchy bands to the platform to do squats, but I would be better off doing squats without the BodyBoss, just with no weights at all, or maybe holding a jug of water or two against my chest to add weight. Or I could get a strong stick and hang some weights on that - would be cheap and effective.With the Body Boss, the resistance is not spread though the whole exercise, so it is less useful than real weights. Squats are way too easy. If I try to make it harder by doubling the band or hooking the band to other attachment points I can make it harder, but then the exercise is too hard at the beginning - it's difficult to get my body into that small space to start the exercise - and I hurt my back trying this. I have never hurt my back at the gym doing squats, but I did on this thing because I was trying to make the exercise hard enough to be worthwhile.Same problem with the deadlift exercise (pulling up on the bar as you stand up). Not enough resistance to make it worthwhile, unless I shorten the straps a lot. And the effort is not spread out through the whole exercise as it would be with real weights. Instead of using the BodyBoss, I would be better to use something like a long stick with some water jugs attached to the ends of it.Same problem with any exercise done with the platform, like bicep curls. Again, I would be so much better off using household items like water jugs or a bag loaded with canned food.I watched videos on the BodyBoss website to see what wonderful exercises they might suggest. The routines I watched included things like people doing jumping jacks beside the BodyBoss. Well, OK, but I didn't need to spend money on a BodyBoss in order to do jumping jacks, so I am interested in only things I can do with this piece of equipment. All of the exercises I have done with the BodyBoss have been things I could have done better with simple household items, as mentioned above.The BodyBoss does have an over-the-door attachment thing so that you can hook up the bands to the door and do exercises like that. Good and useful to have when traveling. BUT you don't need the platform for that, and there are tons of better and cheaper products for this. Search for 'fitness suspension band' training or something like that on Amazon and you will find many options. I bought one of those after I gave up on the BodyBoss and realized what I really needed.If you spend 15 minutes every day following some routine from the BodyBoss website, of course this is better than doing nothing at all. And if you were doing nothing before, sure the routine will help you. But you could do just as well without the BodyBoss. Heck, take a tulip and put that on the floor. Now do exercises around it for 15 minutes a day and call it your tulip exercise routine. Do that instead of buying the BodyBoss and you will save yourself a bunch of money and still get the benefit of doing whatever for 15 minutes.Do you still want a BodyBoss? I wish you could just give me your address and I would send you mine for free. I am going to give my BodyBoss to the charity shop. Maybe they can find somebody gullible enough to take it home, and at least that way it won't wind up in landfill.

I love it, I’m getting great workouts BUT it only comes with 1 pair of bands???? I’ve had to buy a set of bands for it to be effective!

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.

Pas terrible pour un homme grand, elastics trop cours , le prix est trop haut pour la qualite

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.

I've been into weight training for a while now and I love this home gym! Recently, I haven't been able to make it to the gym as much due to work and trips, which is when I found BodyBoss. I was surprised at how the hard the resistance can get (and be able to vary it) to really make it such a good workout! There's so many exercises you're able to do which enables me to add variations to my workouts. Plus, it's compact and easy to use which makes taking it on trips great. Definitely recommend!!
