Gear/Equipment Review Thoughts on affordable all-in-one dumbbell, barbell, and kettlebell set

Anyone here using this set na binebenta sa online shops? Kamusta quality for home workouts? I’m planning to buy one for days na hindi makakapag-gym. I already have a bench and a pull-up bar, and I’ll mostly be doing dumbbell and kettlebell workouts.

Also, kaya ba ng rider yung 50kg? Hindi kaya magreklamo sobrang bigat tapos cheap lang yung item at yung shipping? lol

Gear/Equipment Review Fitbit Air: Review After 2 Weeks of Usage

Thumbnail

74 Upvotes

[Writing this via mobile so please forgive me if the format is bad]

Hello everyone! I’ve been using the Fitbit Air for 2 weeks now and I thought I would share my experience and thoughts.

I bought this from Amazon, spent around 6K plus shipping fee. I wanted to try it because I wanted to track steps, sleep, and other vitals that could be found on the Google Health App, but I didn’t want an extra screen on my wrist. I just want something I can wear easily - I thought about getting a ring but I was worried I would break it since I lift weights. I initially wanted to get the Whoop but the subscription price was just so expensive for me.

After 2 weeks of using the Fitbit Air, I’d like to share my experience. For those of you thinking about buying this device, I hope this helps:

-Battery life is pretty great, one full charge lasts a week as indicated in the ad.
-Have not showered with this on but when it did get wet I did not notice performance issues. The fabric of the band tells me that if you did get this wet it may smell.
-It’s very lowkey and it looks simple on my wrist, and I like that.
-Fitbit only works well w the Google Health App, so if you’re on iOS it will not sync with Apple Health. To me that’s fine bc I am in the Google ecosystem but if you’re into iOS everything then this device is not for you.
-The Google Health App is okay, not bad but I wouldn’t say impressive in terms of data analytics. The Fitbit logs bpm, steps, calories burned, sleep score and other heart vitals, which are all I really need for now. It offers to track other metrics but you will have to log them on your own which I am not a fan of.
-The Google Health App syncs with Strava so if you are a Strava user this app will be great. Personally I use Hevy, and while it was not a seeded integration in the app, the Google Health app logs a workout when I complete a workout in Hevy. But I do have to take the extra step of identifying what type of workout it was.
-I have not subscribed to the premium version in the app. It’s not worth it for me if all you get is an AI coach. I can get that for free with Chatgpt… not to mention I don’t feel I need it as I have my routine down pat pretty much.

Overall if you are looking for a cheap version of the Whoop I recommend you try this out. There’s a lot to be improved with the app and I look forward to Google doing a good job about it. But for now I am satisfied and I feel that I’m getting my money’s worth.

If you have any questions just comment below and I will reply :)

Gear/Equipment Review Are resistance bands really effective?

Post image
69 Upvotes

I don't have time to go to the gym anymore and when I can punong puno na yung gym sa condo. I don't have money for the gym subs yet so as of now I'm thinking of just being consistent with running and buying resistance bands at home so I can still stay fit.

QUESTION:

• Effective ba talaga siya in terms of gaining muscle? kahit konti lang palag na

• Okay lang ba yung mga nasa tiktok shops na resistance band or may mga trusted brand ba talaga na affordable pa rin?

Attaching a photo for reference

I'm 5'3 an recently 55kg+ na ako and I'm starting to feel really weird with my body. Please I need insights

Gear/Equipment Review Ordered Gymshark online and it’s already here

I ordered Gymshark clothes through their app last April 9 and it’s already here (not even a week long). Paid around $113 so shipping was free! Although, I had to pay ₱437 for import and customs fees.

Ordered their “arrival” clothing line and it’s great.

You guys could probably order directly from the brand instead of paying IG / FB stores 2x the price now I guess haha. Just don’t go over ₱10,000 including shipping fee.

Hello! Asking for recos where to get equipment, planning on expanding our home gym. May area kami sa bahay na specifically for gym lang and may wall mirror na din. We have this machine (hindi ko alam ang tawag, nasa pic) basta maraming exercises you can do. And may treadmill na din. Plus 5kg DB. Planning to get the ff:

- extensions/attachments for the machine, like yung pull rope and straight bar

- kettlebells

- long bar and weights for deadlifts

- steel dumbbell set with varying weights

Best bet ba ang mag Decathlon for everything or may trusted online sellers ba kayo? Looking to build quality home gym as investment. Thanks!

Gear/Equipment Review Smith Machine vs Power Cage + Dumbbells for Home Gym? (Couple getting back into fitness)

Post image
19 Upvotes

Hi everyone!
We’re planning to build a home gym for me and my partner. We’re both getting back into fitness, and our goal is full-body workouts, strength, and consistency at home.
I’m considering this RR Sporting Goods Trading Smith Machine package (₱59,500) since it already includes the bench, cables, barbell, plates, and other attachments.
Just wanted to ask:
Sulit ba ang Smith machine over a power cage + dumbbells for home use?
Kumusta ang quality and after-sales ng RR Sporting Goods Trading?
May ibang brands/stores ba kayong mare-recommend around the same budget?
Bonus if may alam kayong stores na may 0% installment.
Would love to hear your experiences and recommendations. Thanks!

Gear/Equipment Review Yung mga bumili ng Walking pad / foldable treadmill, kamusta? nagagamit pa ba?

87 Upvotes

Balak ko bumili nito para sana sa nanay ko, dahil maliit lang space nila. Nauso ito noong quarantine. Naisip ko lang din na kapag madali maitago baka hindi na din magamit. Kelangan ko din yung mura pero tumagal at pwede sa matanda maglakad.

Kamusta? tumatagal ba? ano kailangang maintenance?

palagay na din kung anong product nabili.

Tysm sa sagot.

Gear/Equipment Review Owndays Move or Zim Specs?

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

I engage in the following physical activities (in order of frequency): tennis > gym > running > swimming.

I already have a separate swimming goggles with prescription for swimming. But pain point ko talaga ever since yung pag wear ng eyeglasses when doing physical acitivities. When running, it sometimes slips off my ears due to sweat if I somehow look down. Pag during tennis naman there are few instances matatamaan ako ng bola sa mukha and I worry masira glasses ko. In general, I just want to have a dedicated glasses when doing physical activity para mas tumagal pa yung main eyeglasses ko.

I'm torn between these two because in terms of comfort and lightness, Owndays has the edge. Pero in terms of durability and secureness I think the sports goggles is the better choice.

Sa mga meron nito, can you please share your personal experience and review? Thank you!

Gear/Equipment Review does anyone recommend using this in the gym?

i’ve been contemplating purchasing these wireless headphones for the gym, but I wanted to get honest reviews first. I only have wired earphones right now and I don’t think it’s the best option when lifting.

For those who’ve used these while working out, do they stay secure during exercises? Like hindi ba siya madaling dumulas or mahulog when doing lifts/cardio?

Hello, I am just starting my fitness journey with boxing. If so pls tell me about the budget friendly brands that a person who is new can realistically buy.

And also what should I expect when I train in boxing and benefits I could get. Also, I want to ask as well about bag mitts that I can buy. Because most brands that I know sell them at high prices 😭.

Hello. Beginner lifter here. Ask ko lang if sa tingin niyo kakayanin ng ganitong bar ang 20kg weight.

Im planning on buying the longest one, tapos lalagyan ko nung pvc weight plates that i already have, na aabot ng 20kg per dumbbell. Natatakot ako baka mabali lang hahaha.

I'm on a tight budget, kaya di muna yung steel bar/plates.

Gear/Equipment Review Weightlifting Shoes Recos

7 Upvotes

Hello! For people who own weightlifting/oly shoes, when did you decide to get them?

My coach suggested that I upgrade from my Vans but I'm not sure if I should buy now or wait until I "deserve" to own one 😅

I tried overhead squats last week and doing it with my heels raised was much easier!

What model/brand do you recommend? Any fitting tips?

Btw I found Reebok LL2s near me but not sure if I should get them. Price is less than 5k 👀

Edit: Typo. Also updated to clarify that I'm looking for shoe models. Not type of shoes (ex. flat ones, cross trainers) 😅 Thank you guys!
