A closer look , Rock Gym reminds us of the
Wonder Core 2 , previously tested on our site. Although some changes have been made, it basically takes over the same functionality. The versatility and overall efficiency of the Wonder Core 2 had pleasantly surprised us and now it's time to see if this Rock Gym is of the same ilk.
Description
The Rock Gym is a 6 in 1 fitness machine comparable to a weight bench that precisely targets your abdominals, upper body but also legs and the glutes. Versatile, this bench inspired by
Wonder Core 2 , consists of a solid modular frame, a flexible backrest, a system of elastic resistance bands but also, and this is where it differs from its competitor, an integrated development leg. Like the Wonder Core 2, the resistance attached to the backrest is provided by a system of springs located under the seat. Whether you are a beginner or a more experienced user, the Rock Gym is suitable for all levels of fitness and is suitable for both women and men. The Rock Gym backrest tilts to support you in your abdominal movements and to solicit and exercise all of your muscles.
Composed of foam rollers, it is very comfortable and supports you in all your movements . A headrest also provides additional support during the various exercises.
This fitness equipment offers a complete workout since, in addition to working the abdominals, the biceps, triceps, legs and glutes are called upon through the 6 exercises offered. With this Rock Gym, you perform exercises as varied as abdominals, push-ups, leg developper (for the legs), or even stretching sessions for the body. 3 resistance levels are offered on the leg developper (leg exercises). They allow you to progress at your own pace. And for an even more complete training, you can use the resistance bands and strengthen your upper body. They will allow you to intensify your exercises, especially for the arms.
Turnkey solution, this Rock Gym is very easy to use. Put it on and you can start your workout. Plus, the Rock Gym folds up and easily stows away under a bed or behind a cabinet or door after your session is over.
The device is sold between 150 € and 180 € on e-commerce sites.
The Rock Gym is, like
Swingmaxx Original and
Wonder Core 2 , is an easy-to-use, space-saving and versatile device. Designed for home use, it is suitable for most users, whether beginners or more experienced. The versatility of the device is definitely a plus, especially when compared to the many one-dimensional gear on the market.
As with the Wonder Core 2 and Swingmaxx, we liked the diversity suggested exercises and upper body work. A maximum of muscle groups can be called upon in a relatively efficient and appropriate manner. But the little extra of Rock Gym is that it also allows you to work the legs and glutes. If we had to take stock here, we would be tempted to conclude that the device provides good results. But, as is often the case with these fitness equipment sold in home shopping shows, the manufacturer dangles you with almost miraculous results regarding fat loss and therefore weight loss.
The Rock Gym unfortunately will not allow you to lose the excess fat or achieve a dream body like you see in the advertisements. It can tone and shape your abs, arms and legs, but not remove the accumulated fat. As we often remember, if you want to lose excess fat, you must practice cardio-type physical activity regularly and eat a healthy diet. If the Rock Gym makes it possible to strengthen the muscles of the abdominal belt and to a lesser extent the upper and lower limbs, it does not put enough stress on the cardiovascular system to allow you to burn fat and therefore eliminate extra pounds.
In terms of comfort, the device is rather well designed even if the seat is a bit thin and the backrest is not adjustable in height (be careful with large and small sizes) ). The foam rollers on the backrest follow the biomechanics of movement well and unlike the Wonder Core 2, it also has a 'headrest'.
We only tested this device for one month. We will therefore not comment on the strength and durability of this product but, from experience, we invite consumers to pay attention to "low-cost" products sold in these teleshopping programs.
