🗞️HomeGymCon Update

With about ten months to go, HomeGymCon is hitting another hot streak & we are now up to 81 vendors.

We’ll be choosing spots any day now and will showcase the map soon.

Check out that beautiful list below.

🆕Rogue Rower

Rogue continues to pump out new products in 2024; their latest release is this rower. It is priced extremely competitively and includes impressive features.

It will be available in small batches in a few days.

Some highlights include:

$895 price with free shipping, several hundred dollars cheaper than a Concept2 with shipping costs included. It is $50 more than the current price of the Xebex Air Rower 2.0.
Oversized turf tires should allow this to be moved exceptionally easily.
Folds up for storage
Patent pending quick-release foot straps, which eliminate the pain of sliding the buckle.
LCD Console with Bluetooth and ANT+ compatibility

🆕Bells of Steel Cable Crossover

I’m a fan of both the plate-loaded and selectorized cable tower options based on their overall value and versatility.

That said, Bells of Steel is adding several cable crossover options to its popular single-stack cable tower options.

This would add considerable versatility and function to any gym, but you’ll need about 12 feet of space.

Nevertheless, those options include:

Plate Loaded: For just over $1k, you can add a plate loaded option.
Selectorized: This is about 2.5x the price of the option above but will be much more convenient to use.
Cable Crossover Converter: If you have a single tower, you can easily expand your setup by purchasing a converter and another tower to create a full set. It’s also nice to know that you can continue to build off of it if you just buy a single tower.

WAZZUP KAEVON - This is cool.

🆕GIANT Northland Open Trap Hex Bar with 9” Sleeves

The Giant Open Trap Bar has been widely regarded as the best value trap bar on the market.

A certain type of person may not want this option, though, because it is too cumbersome.

However, Giant has introduced an option with 9” sleeves, which will allow for an easier-to-wield around open trap bar. It will also take up less space.

I really like this option for anyone who does not ever plan on utilizing more than 9” of a barbell sleeve (more than 495 lbs with traditional iron plates).

🆕Aviron Fit Bike

This is the Peloton Bike on Steroids.

The Aviron Fit Bike is a versatile indoor cycling experience that combines immersive gaming with a challenging workout.

They’ve taken much of their innovative rowers, which I was able to try at IHRSA (very impressive), and added them to a bike.

Here are some key features of this new stationary bike.

Game-Driven Workouts: Engaging workouts that feel more like playing a game than exercising.
Advanced Resistance: 160 levels of adjustable electromagnetic resistance provide a smooth and challenging ride.
Freewheel Design: Mimics road cycling for a more natural feel.
Ergonomic Design: Customizable seat and handlebars for maximum comfort.
Interactive Screen: A vibrant HD touchscreen for navigating workouts, adjusting resistance, and more.
Community Features: Connect with other riders, track your progress, and earn badges.

Here’s a quick comparison to a few of the other bike + membership options.

🆕Joe Rogan Kettlebell

Onnit has partnered with sculptor Christopher Genovese to create a unique kettlebell modeled after Joe Rogan.

You can’t just buy this kettlebell though, you have to enter a drawing and hope you get an opportunity.

Onnit plans to donate $100k to Fight For The Forgotten, a non-profit founded by MMA fighter Justen Wren, supporting displaced indigenous people in Africa.
