With the start of 2011, I’m pretty sure many of you have fitness related New Year’s resolution: slimming down, getting those 6 pack abs, getting our muscles (biceps, triceps, etc.) defined, and those are just to name a few.
Bottom line, we are looking forward to have a greater and better looking physique in 2011. HOWEVER, [...]

But [...]

For those of us who are on a budget, purchasing a home gym might be a slightly daunting task. Prices for such home equipment can reach well into the thousands of dollars, which would quite possibly make our bank managers rather angry.
Thankfully, there are a number of solutions for those who have a limited amount [...]
Yet another one of Powerline’s glorious creations, the P1LP definitely looks more comprehensive and “technical” than the other models in the range. But does this translate in to better performance? We gave the Powerline P1LP a test drive to find out.
Powerline P1LP Home Gym Specifications & Features
Attention To Detail
The P1LP goes where [...]
Traditionally, the Powerline home gym range has been aimed at the basic end of the market – offering the bare essentials of a home gym in return for a very competitive price. On the Powerline P1X model, the company has switched things up a gear, and looks to be marketing to the intermediate home gym [...]
Providing the most basic features that anyone would expect from a home gym, the Powerline PHG1000X certainly won’t appeal to the hardcore user.

With its 5 star rating and extensive list of features, the Powerline BSG10X Home Gym promises to be a stunner.

Undemanding, effortless and simple – the Cory Everson 6000HT Home Trainer has been designed with the exercise novice in mind. The machine itself looks seemingly useless – with none of the excitement that a “normal” home gym has. However, once you get to know the machine, and begin to understand the ways in which it [...]
Measuring in with a modest 4.5 stars, the Stamina Viper Leverage System Home Gym looks as much like a viper snake than go fly in the sky. This bright orange home gym certainly does stand out though – and in more ways than one.
We took the time (all of 40 minutes) to set this [...]
In what some are calling a “swipe at the market leader”, the Stamina Band Flex Gym not only looks like one of Bowflex’s creations (albeit a slightly uglier one), it also feels peculiarly similar to the real deal. We’re not sure if this was a pre-thought-out move by Stamina, or just a mere coincidence.
So, [...]

Far from this however, the Body Solid G8I has a huge number of features up [...]
By far one of the largest home gym systems we have had the opportunity of trialling; the Body Solid EXM4000S is a piece of technological engineering which has resulted from a great amount of innovation and initiative.
This hulk of a machine requires a lot of space, and a fair knowledge of how a gym [...]
Black is back – or so we thought when we tried out this special “Black” version of the Total Trainer DLX. Being simple at heart, and offering a limited number of exercises, the Total trainer range only just squeezes through in to the “home gym” category.
We put the DLX Black to the test, and [...]
Who was it that said “Total Gym” were incapable of producing a top of the line product? Well, if it was you, we suggest you sit down and be quiet for a moment whilst we introduce the Total Gym XLS home gym system.
