I'm a 6'5", 280-pound dad of three. I set up the gear, use it for months and tell you exactly who should buy it, so you don't waste money on the wrong thing.

Great machine for the money. A little small if you're my size.

Most gear is a good buy for somebody. Every review tells you who it's for, and if I wouldn't buy it, I'll say so.
A real body scan scale and sleep band, and no subscription to keep them working.

Clips on your ear, feels like a TENS unit. First impressions so far.

A full gym that folds up so the room still works.

Keeps the luggage dry and gives you the whole short bed. Just don't call it secure.

A cheap way to get plates off the floor. Just know there's no published rating.

The heavier Yosuda, listed at 350 lbs. Sturdy under a big guy.

Folds flat in 3 seconds so you can still park the truck.

Holds up to a 6'5" guy using it almost every workout. Still looks new.

Doesn't flinch at 275 lbs. iFIT is the real reason to buy it.

Three to five nights a week before bed. Tight for two if one of you is my size.

My gym
A review tells you what I thought. This page shows you what stayed. It's everything that's in my garage gym, my basement and my dad's gym right now, plus what I take every day.
How it works
On camera, at my house or my parents' house. If the instructions stink, you'll hear about it.
Then I come back with updates at one month, six months and a year. At my size, the weak spots show up fast.
Right at the top of every review. Who should buy it, who shouldn't, and what I don't love about it.
Who is Big Mike?
I'm a pro wrestler who's been stepping between the ropes since 2003, married to my wife since 2012, and a dad to three girls.
I train at 4:45 a.m. in my own home gym. Every product here gets used in my house, by me, for real. If it's not worth your money, I'll say so.
