Make Fitness Inevitable
Incremental Resistance
With EVO Gym's custom bands, you can easily add multiple bands at varying points depending on your height and the exercise you are performing.
Additionally, the notches make it easy to track which one you used and make sure you are making progress every week.
Portable, Compact, and Easy to Carry
Not only can you store EVO Gym in your apartment and save tons of space, but we've made it so compact that you can store it in a standard backpack.
We worked very hard to make sure the bars and handles would fit inside the base without compromising strength!
Oh - and let's not forget - the slots at the end of the base double as carrying handles!
Super Strong
Even experienced athletes can be pushed to their limits by EVO Gym.
Resistance bands are just as effective at muscle gain as standard weight training - as long as you keep pushing just a little bit further every workout.
That's why we made sure that EVO Gym makes it easy to track your progress.
Save Money and Time
Not only does EVO Gym save you time from commuting from the gym, but it effectively replaces all of the gym equipment that you could need.
You could spend many hundreds of dollars and still not get the workout variety that EVO Gym provides - all while being compact, portable, and not cluttering up your home!
Progressive Overload
Achieve your Dream Body
Whether your goal is to maintain your health or achieve the body you have always dreamed of, EVO Gym can get you there.
There is no end to the variations that can be performed and the muscle groups that can be targeted. If you're an advanced lifter looking to grow your legs and glutes, our base is strong enough to do split squats - with more weight than you can handle.
If you are a beginner and just looking to get started, we'll make it easy for you.
What's most important is to have a tool that you use consistently, and that has the capacity for you to grow into. Progressive overload, or steadily increasing your strength over time, is the key to making fitness progress and achieving the body you desire. EVO Gym has you covered.
Full Body Fitness
Chest and Arms
The bench press is one of the most difficult exercises to properly replace with a portable gym.
With EVO Gym, you can perform floor presses, weighted push-ups, flys, hex presses, and more!
The most important thing is to push your muscles just a little bit further each week.
And, it goes without saying, there are endless workouts you can perform to grow your arms with EVO Gym as well!
Glutes
Want a bigger butt? How about rounder and firmer?
From squats and lunges to glute bridges - EVO Gym has you covered with all of the weight you could need.
Additionally, our programs provide information specifically tailored to your fitness goals.
Back and Core
Overlooked by many, having a strong back is the key to a wide and strong physique in men, and a balanced and proportional physique in women.
Not only is a strong back great for appearance, but effective training will give you the longevity needed to avoid the dreaded back-pain that comes with age and our modern sedentary lifestyles.

Title: Really adaptable gym equipment
Review: I usually don't write reviews, but the Evogym is really quite good. I've been using it for about 3 months now and have been exceptionally pleased with it for a number of reasons: 1) There is a huge variety of exercises you can do with it and once you get a feel for how to load and unload each exercise, it feels safe and secure. (Use a wide stance with any heavy lifts.) 2) The ability to gradually increase weight for progressive overload is fantastic. I've seen really noticeable results in my arms, legs, back, and chest. And you can really load it up for deadlifts and squats. 3) I had a band break on me, because of a mistake I made. The company replaced them despite me admitting my error and said that they stand by their product no matter what. They even gave me updates on the shipping progress of the replacement. And they sent me 2 instead of 1. 4) I don't use this anywhere but at home, but it's nice and small and I can slide it under the bed in a second. It's easily portable for any sort of driving trip. Not sure I'd put it in a suitcase and on a plane, but you could. I just think all the bands might worry TSA. 5) The overall construction feels solid. The base plate is good. The bar is 3 pieces, but it's rock solid and the padding is holding up well. The handles are plastic, but seem solid. The leg straps are easy to put on and take off.Overall just a really solid piece of gym equipment that has helped me get in surprisingly good shape. It's hard when you start loading up weight and that's perfect!

Title: The family behind Evo Gym really care about their products and customers!
Review: I got the heavy version of the gym and have to say the learning curve was super easy. Mitchell goes out of his way to provide a series of Youtube videos to guide how to train different muscle groups. I have taken this gym to Istanbul and Colombia with no issues as it is super portable. The cables are high quality, and it excels as a way to give extra love to certain body parts you might not have the time for in the gym when you are on the grind. I love the constant tension when doing bicep curls and shoulder presses as cables force a downward pull that is different from static weights. If you want specific body sculpting this is a great choice! Especially as an addition to your regular gym routine. Couldn't recommend more.

Title: Great home gym!
Review: I really enjoy using this home gym! It folds up for easy, compact storage and though it is a simple system, it makes for a killer workout!My main motivations for buying this were cost efficiency, ease of use, and efficient storage, as I have limited space. It has checked all these boxes for me and I especially like that it provides the option to use a barbell or handles. My favorite exercises to perform using this have been squats (front and back), overhead press, and cable flies and reverse flies. Deadlifts and chest presses are the only exercises that seem to be suboptimal on this system, but using some creativity, you can overcome this (doing banded pushups and crossovers still pump up the chest and if you loop 1 or 2 bands on both sides, as you would for a banded push up, you could use this resistance for deadlifts).Also, the platform and bar are sturdy and the overall quality is very solid. I would recommend this item for those looking to get in a good workout from home without breaking the bank or taking up too much space.

Title: This has made a physical difference in me
Review: The EVO Gym has proven to be a perfect apparatus for me to gain back physical strength,mobility,and stamina. I am a âseniorâ (turn 80 next year) and the EVO Gym is easy to use, effective in renewing my muscle strength and endurance. The online video instructions are simple and easy to follow. It has truly worked to give me back some of the strength lost from aging and lack of movement.

Title: Game Changer
Review: Iâm not one to write reviews, but I had to review this product. I have been using it for about a month now, with no intention to stop soon.Iâve bought resistance bands several times before, but this combination of the base and the resistance bands are phenomenal. Iâve been wanting to purchase a power rack for a long time now, but I just donât have an area where I can leave it and it not be in the way in some shape way or form (besides my garage which is either way too hot or way too cold). Enter the Evo Gym.As a background, Iâve been lifting for about 13 years in a variety of styles, weights, body weight, resistance bands, gymnastics (just ring work). My preference is actual weights. Or it was.First of all, the Evo gym is portable. You can bring it with you. The base folds up nicely, and it comes with a bag to throw all the accessories (bands, door anchor, etc) into. I throw it under my bed or in a closet until Iâm ready to work out again. I travel a fair amount, so whenever I am driving you can bet this is coming with me. This is one of the reasons I gravitate towards these kinds of products, as I try to keep a regular routine. The more obstacles I face in working out (example being driving to the gym, packing for the gym, itâs snowy out, itâs rainy out, etc), the harder it is for me to get after it. Having it at home eliminates excuses.Second of all, I love the way it has scalable measures of progress. We all know that progressive overload is the best way to get more muscle, but I adore the way this works. You just count the notches and the weight in resistance in your training notes, and try to beat your reps from last time as you progress. I also love that you can micro-load, by notching up one more on whatever movement it would normally be on (that way you are getting a little bit more resistance at the end of the movement where it most difficult, which is one of the perks of resistance bands).Third of all, I love the sheer amount of exercises I can do with this. You can do a ton of exercises with traditional loop bands but you have to step on them, and then you have to guess where you were last time with hand placement. Some people can intuitively find that sweet spot of getting the proper amount of resistance, but I like to track closely, and guessing where I was last time always bothered me (which I think explains my preference for traditional weights). With this, I know that I was on notch 3, with 60 pounds of resistance. I can put the 10 on there and make it heavier. If 10 is too much, slide up to the next notch and then micro-load it in that way like I mentioned above.To be fully transparent, I have not used the door anchor or ankle attachments so I cannot vouch for those. Like my earlier comment about traditional loop bands, it feels subjective to what resistance might be that day (anything that involves taking a couple steps away to get it to where you needs to be I have trouble tracking). I exclusively have been training always using the base as I primarily prefer compound movements for most of my exercises and all my additional isolation movements can be met with the base somehow. Evo Gymâs videos are extremely helpful for figuring out the correct way to hit whatever you are trying to target. Their overall presentation has been phenomenal and I love the manual that came with it. Everything has been functioning well, and it seems like the creatorMy only complaint is that I wish the base had a way to somehow latch close. Iâm sure I can think of something to fix that, but it would be nice if there was a magnetic seal on it somehow.If you have low space at your house or apartment and enjoy working out at home or travel on the road, I canât recommend this enough. It has truly been game changing for me. Iâm not looking at Rogueâs Power Racks weekly anymore, and that is saying something. I would buy this again in a heartbeat. You can tell this was developed by somebody that loves working. As a fellow lifter, busy dad, and frequent traveller, thank you!

Review: I bought this because I am injured and can't go to the gym. I like the variety of exercises I can perform and still get a decent workout.The only con I have so far is that the loops come out of the platform quite easily. I wish there was some sort of locking mechanism as thos can be quite dangerous.Other than that I'm quite happy with the purchase.

Title:
Review: This is a well-made product. You can do many effective exercises with it. There is a learning curve, but that would come with any such band-based equipment. My reason for 4 rather than 5 stars has less to do with the equipment than the relatively limited selection of learning materials that comes with it. There are YouTube videos which are helpful but they could be a bit more systematic in how they present information (their planning, explanations, and video direction). Most importantly, it would be great if there could be a few workout videos to follow. I would even pay for high quality ones. Overall, a very good product that I hope continues to get accompanied exercise tutorials.
