I think it’s fair to say that the release of Fitbit was a huge step forward, a manufacturer who has te goal to create the best fitness smart tracker available. Since its launch, Fitbit have brought out a range of different models to suit all budgets and training levels.

Today we are going to be looking at the newly released Fitbit Charge 2 HR+ and seeing if it stands out against an ever crowded fitness tracker market.

As you would expect from Fitbit the box is clean in its design [...]

The Nuband I Touch comes neatly packaged and is described as the perfect fitness tracker to map your calories, distance travelled and even your sleep patterns. Oddly enough for a fitness smartwatch it includes features such as a camera remote control and phone finder.

Initial thoughts are that it is well presented and didn’t feel cheap or plasticity at all. Like many higher end smart fitness trackers it has a soft rubber texture for the main band and the plastic tracking unit attached at the [...]

Marketed as a way to climb your way to fitness, mimicking the movement of rock climbing, working all the major muscle groups. I would look to put this firmly into a supplementary piece of equipment that should be used in conjunction with weights or cardio.

From ordering online to the moment it arrived at my front door was 2 days. I used Argos and they even sent me a text message to let me know a delivery time (I didn’t have to wait in all day, result!) It came neatly packaged and heavier than I was expecting at around [...]

Marketed as a new and exciting way to remove your love handles and get sexy abs and sculpt your buns. We are going to put it through its paces to see if it really can deliver or is it simply another clever marketing gimmick?

Looking at this in the catalogue before ordering, I imagined it would be a lot lighter than it actually is. I was pleasantly surprised me how well this is built. It weighs in at 15kg’s and came packaged neatly in its box.

Today we will be giving our verdict on the Slendertone Abs3 abdominal toner. Boasting guaranteed results after only 8 weeks we put it through its paces to see if it really can deliver!

The Slendertone Abs3 came neatly packaged, unlike previous Ab toners we have tested came as a single unit. No individual sticking of pads to your body with wires trailing around in this version.

Upon opening the pack you will be presented with the following:

The men’s health adjustable dumbbell is perfect for those who are short on time and space. They allow a full range of weight variations without the hassle of having to buy multiple weight stacks.

Unsurprisingly the men’s health adjustable dumbbells came neatly packages and in total weighed around 35Kg’s. The setup was very simple, place all the weight plates in the docking station supplied in the right order and with all the weight gaps facing upwards. Overall [...]

If you are new to working out at home or tired of using free weights in limited ways such as bicep curls etc. then the Men’s Health folding bench would be an ideal next step up. It comes complete with 35kg weight to help you get started.

Ordered and delivered within the 3 days form a large UK retailer. I would not recommend going to collect this from the store as it’s quite a bulky item. It weights approx. 65kg’s in total including the frame, padding materials and supplied [...]

The Wonder Core 2 is the updated version of the Wonder core smart. Boasting to be a revolutionary 12-in-1 ab system, we are going to put it through its paces to see if it really does hold up to its name.

Ordering was easy and it arrived within 3 days, a little slower than normal but we were in no rush. This isn’t that much of a bulky item so you can choose to collect this but for the few extra pounds we opted for delivery.

The Wonder Core 2 comes partly assembled, the instruction manual is easy to follow and [...]

The Wonder Core is marketed as the ultimate total body workout, it’s not something that we would normally look to review, which I must add does add a little excitement.

Ordered and delivered the next day from a large retailer. It was well packaged without any damage. In the box it weighs about 8-10 kg’s.

Setup for the Wonder Core smart was simple as it comes pre-assembled. Reading the instruction manual you simply have to adjust the strength by turning the knob at the end of the [...]
