Sports reviews of Go Fit Ultimate Pro Gym
Customer Review: Great little on-the-go or at home work out
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
A note about operation of the ankle straps: you have to open them up and turn them so the scratchy Velcro is on the outside away from your skin...place the ring where you want it, wrap the remaining strap around your leg and then thread the strap through the ring and pull snug before securing the Velcro.
This way it will stay on no matter what weight you use. I promise...I use A LOT of weight for leg training.
I have been involved in health and fitness for over 20 years as a Body Builder, Body Sculptor, Trainer, Therapist, Coach and many other positions in the field. I am currently the Director of Personal Success Now.
I bought this to check it out - to determine if it was a good option for some of my clients who do not want to go to the gym. I also travel and wanted some way to ensure I would have the ability to work out anywhere.
Finally, no more work outs with a towel for resistance!!
This little gym in a bag is great. It comes in a small bag and is very light. It comes with a poster or book demonstrating possible workouts and it comes with a DVD (or CD) that describes and demonstrates workout possibilities. You can play this CD as a "trainer" or view the exercises singly.
The DVD takes you through a very good core performance, functional workout and contains some excellent information on nutrition.
You get the aforementioned ankle straps, handles, and a door anchor. You also get a 5, 10, and 15 pound cable. The weight range is 5 to 30 pounds in 5-pound increments by combining the cables. The handles are comfortable and the cables hook and unhook very easily.
The possible weight/cable combinations look like this:
5 / 10 / 15 / 20=15+5 / 25=15+10 / 30=15+10+5
Additional cables are only $4 from the company...note: if you need more weight, you only need to get another heavy cable...because you can create any combination up to 45 pounds in 5 pound increments with only the 1 additional cable.
Combinations from 35 to 45 pounds look like this:
35=15+15+5 / 40=15+15+10 / 45=15+15+10+5
Every time you need more weight, you only need another 15-pound cable.
The weights discussed above represent the resistance for each hand. So, doing curls with the heavy cable is like curling 15 pounds in each hand.
I highly recommend this as an at-home and on the go training tool!
For safety - Always check your cables for wear before working out. Always make sure the door anchor is secure in the door and the door is closed and LOCKED before training with the door anchor. Always warm up before your workout. Always warm down and do flexibility movements after your workout.
There are down-loadable sheets for "tone and shape" and for "muscle and strength" 12-week workouts.

Eat right for you. Take your vitamin. Get enough sleep. Drink your water. Avoid artificial- colors, flavors, and preservatives in your diet. Laugh often...and live well!
One final note to update this review - in 5 months of using the ProGym, I have lost 10 pounds of fat and gained over 20 pounds of muscle.
Wishing you Personal Success Now!

Customer Review: Great for Nintendo Wii
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I did much searching for a suitable set of bands for use with the Wii EA Active since the band (if you can call it that) that comes with EA Active is very weak. There was not much I could find, so hopefully this review will help.
The main issue with using bands for the Wii is that you need to be able to hold the controller and the band's handle. This works well with the Go Fit bands as the handle is a fabric loop with a plastic tube to grip (as seen in the picture). Well, the tube can be moved so that it is shifted out of the way, and the fabric loop is long enough that you will have plenty of fabric to grip, make a fist, and workout while holding both the handle of the band and the Wii remote and nunchuck. With higher weights the fabric handle will press into your skin, but that is easily solved with some workout gloves.
Also, I read some reviews saying you do not know which band is which in terms of weight/resistance. The poundage is actually written on the band on one end, so it's easy to figure out. The bands come in 5lb, 10lb, and 15lb giving you a lot of flexibility as you can mix and match the bands that come on and off easily on a small carabiner-like device. This allows for easy switching between exercises.
Again, this review is just for the bands for use with the Wii (although if they work for the Wii they will work for normal workouts). I have not used the enclosed DVD.
Customer Review: Now I am a firm believer
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
Before I actually used the Ultimate Progym in a bag. I believed that the only way one can effectively do resistance training is with a good set of weights or use the professional equipment in a gym. Well in my case desperate times call for desperate measures. I have been on the road for work during the past year and could not make use of my gym membership. The workout equipment available to me was questionable. So I decided to try this product thinking that at least I would be doing something. Well not only was I doing something, I was doing a lot of something. By using this equipment and eating right I lost 30 lbs in 5 months. These tubes are awesome! I can do just about any exercise I could do with free weights. The best part is that I can work my body to failure without the fear of dropping the bar on myself. My experience with the company has also been excellent, when a band snap after some over use, they replaced it for me for free. I was considering buying a high priced body weight machine but after using these tubes those machines are not worth it. The only critism I have is that I cannot buy an additional 20 lb tube. If they made a 20 lb clip on tube this product would be perfect. I highly recommend it.Customer Review: FITNESS IN A BAG!

I have used this product for over a year now, and have recommended it to many of my exercize-phobic friends.
I purchased it to supplement my regimen on days when weather prohibits swimming in my pool, which is only about 60 days per year. I enjoyed them so much I now use them and some dumbells every night in addition to the swimming. It is interesting how the bands and the dumbells provide a different workout doing the same exercizes. I like alternating both.
The best feature in my opinion is the instructional DVD. The instructor clearly demonstrates the correct way to use the bands. It really helps. Also, the chart that comes with the kit is easy to understand, but nothing beats the DVD. After awhile, of course, you don't need it.
The blue band snapped after about six months. I called GoFit and they promptly sent a free replacement which has lasted.
Bottom-line: after a year of faithful use I can honestly say I am stronger and look better. What more can you ask for?
