I’ve been on a lot of rowing machines. Air rowers that sound like a leaf blower, water rowers that look gorgeous and take up half a room, magnetic rowers that feel like dragging a chair across carpet. Merach sent me the R15 electromagnetic rower to put in my own home gym, and there’s one feature…
I already owned a leg extension and leg curl machine. Then AnicZon sent me theirs to review, and within about two weeks I got rid of the one I had. That’s not a line I write often, so let me explain exactly what made me swap, what I’d change about this machine, and whether it…
The nearest sauna was 25 miles away, so I tested the SaunaBox SmartSteam XL at home. Setup, the Bluetooth app, a real session, and three tips I learned the hard way.
Most walking pads are not built for bigger people. The THERUN has a 2.5 HP motor, a 300 lb capacity, and a 15 inch belt. Here is how it held up under a 6 foot 3, 240 pound test.
At 6 foot 3 I am usually fighting the height and weight limits on inversion tables. Here is why the YOLEO is the one I kept, plus the ankle cuffs and safety strap that make it beginner friendly.
If you’ve been reading my bench reviews lately you know I’ve had a few of these in the garage at once. This one is the YOLEO 1100 lb Adjustable Weight Bench, and it’s a different animal from the heavy commercial model I looked at recently. This one folds. It’s rated to fit users up to…
YOLEO sent me their Commercial Grade Adjustable Weight Bench, and the number stamped on the box is 2,300 lb. That’s the kind of spec that either impresses you or makes you roll your eyes, depending on how many home gym listings you’ve read. I’ve been a certified personal trainer and nutrition coach for a while…
Two adjustable weight benches, side by side in my garage, and one of them lists a 2,300 lb weight capacity while the other lists 1,300 lb. If you’re shopping right now, I’d bet money that capacity number is the first thing your eye jumped to. I’m a certified personal trainer, and I’m telling you flat…
ZeroWater built its entire pitch around one number. Every pitcher ships with a little TDS meter, and the promise is that whatever your tap water reads going in, it reads 000 coming out. That is a satisfying claim, and it is also the kind of claim that makes me want to do something stupid to…
When I got serious about losing weight, I did not need a hundred recipes. I needed one. One meal I could make without thinking, that took almost no time, and that I would not get sick of after two weeks. Everything else was noise. What I landed on was something I have been calling the…
