OYO Personal Gym - Full Body Portable Gym: Home, Office or Travel - NASA SpiraFlex Resistance Technology

This is the initial review I have the OYO, however I must update due to the following:After the company OYO Fitness replacing the Spiraflex Discs, I had the same problem a year later. The two 10 lb discs broke as seen in the photos.I attempted to contact the company but was unsuccessful. No working email. The phone numbers listed belonged to other businesses.There is a 3rd party selling canabalized parts and states the company is no longer in business. Their 3 disc kit is $100 - almost the price of an entire new unit.With no customer service and poor durability of parts, I can no longer recommend OYO. It’s too bad, because when it works it is a good piece of equipment.I am well versed in exercise physiology as I have been training for many years and also I am a doctor and taught Sports Medicine. After an accident two years ago I spent several months in a hospital and rehab unit and lost a tremendous amount of muscle tissue. I needed some exercise equipment to regain my muscle mass and strength. I chose to use OYO.Simply put, this is one of the best pieces of exercise equipment I have ever owned. It has variable resistance, over 150 different exercises, is easy to use and very well-made.This one piece of equipment enabled me to gain back all my muscle mass and strength and then some within a year.I highly recommend OYO to anyone looking for a good solid work out with a minimum of fuss.Any item is only as good as its customer support. While I give the OYO a five star rating, I give their customer support a 10 star rating.After a year of using the machine I started to notice that the 10 pound disc was providing less resistance than the 5 pound disc. I contacted customer support and within a few days they provided me with a new machine. This is the best customer support I have ever had with any item.So for efficiency, quality, and exceptional customer support, I highly recommend the OYO for anyone looking for a great work out.

Deducted one star because 1) they failed to return an e mail on their site asking questions about doing the 10 week program e.g. show only three lessons a week. Supposed to do them every other day? Repeat them? 2) No suggestions when to increase the weights, and 3) the 10 week program if you do on computer or device does not stop to let you change positions for floor work vs standing. And at my age that takes a bit!But I just increased to five stars after receiving a detailed response to my questions and their planning to take these into account in future releases. As for the weight it is just when it gets too easy and a personal adjustment. On the 10 week program idea is to do this three or four times a week. MWF or MWFS. They note that for the leg exercises they provide a thirty second period to make that transition. For those of us my age...well....but as for floor to standing without transition they will consider that issue. Nice to have a company that listens. So have raised the stars on this. It is very well made and easy to use. Disagree with those who have posted reviews that feel otherwise. Of course this is not for the body builder or the serious weight lifter. But for the rest of us this is a great home and travel gym.That said this is a great item. I had a similar one much cheaper that used stretch bands but this is much, much easier to use. I did not get the PRO model (cancelled the first order) because my I Pad 2 would not make use of the IOS needed to operate. As for using on my i Phone 5S it worked but no sound until corresponded and they advised to take off the vibrate and then sound worked fine. I think I will be just as happy with the LE model at this point.I would suggest they add to the page on the 10 week exercise their warm up exercise which I keep in a separate tab. Combination works well for me.Overall for what I am wanting this seems an excellent light exercise gym. Will come back after using for a while to update if there is more to add.

This is really a nice home gym equipment. I'm able to do a lot of exercises with the accompanied exercise chart.The quality is really nice.However, I'm 5'6" and not able to fully maximise this equipment. Let me give you example:A lot of upper body exercises requires you to hold the device on both ends and pull your arms aprt until the cable is fully extented. For me, the device is still wide open, and therefore i'm not feeling the full resistance (there are 3 discs of 10lbs, 10lbs and 5lbs resistance). You can get the full resistance when the device is fully closed.Ather thing I don't like about this is the removing of the disc. It's really hard. THere's an instruction video and seems very easy, but no! The two discks are stucked, and I can only add/remove the last disc (5lb)All in all, I'm very happy with this purchase.
