Before purchasing the EVO Gym, I was specifically looking for a variable resistance training system that had a foundation plate that attached to a bar with bands. This product seemed to be of good quality, had good reviews, and was affordable, so I decided to go for it.
I'm a fairly new user of the EVO Gym and new to strength training in general, so I made sure to watch all the videos provided and found them helpful. I've taken my training somewhat slow. I didn't want to get overzealous and either hurt myself or get so sore that I couldn't move. However, in the last couple of weeks, I've started to hit my stride and am seeing progress in the number of reps I can do in each session. Configuring the EVO Gym for each different exercise is coming easier as well. At first, it was a little clumsy, but I can definitely see the benefit in the design of the product, and now that I'm used to moving the bands/notches, it's not a big deal. I love the compactness of the design. When I'm done with my workout, I can easily stash all the components away out of sight. I haven't had the opportunity to go out of town since I started using it, but I will definitely take it with me when I do, knowing it won't take up much room.
When my EVO Gym first arrived, the bar was defective and would not snap together on one side. I requested a replacement and was pleased to find the process quick and painless. However, when my second bar arrived, it also would not snap together on one side. But using one part from the original bar with the new one, I was able to put together a complete bar. I brought this to the attention of the company, and they are looking into it on the production side.
I’m happy with my EVO Gym and would gladly recommend it to others!
