Congratulations on getting 30,000 subscribers, Mike. You've consistently worked hard over many years, and it's paying off more and more each day. Your faithfulness has benefited many people. I wish you continued and greater success and health. God bless you and your family.
Way to go Mike on hitting 30K. Congratulations 🎉. The reason you hit the 30K mark is you have the secret to success. Good content! Looking forward to seeing you hit 50K.
Thanks for the full spectrum reviews. Personally, due to total shoulder replacement, i primarily use resistance bands. Recently, courtesy of your video i ordered Serious Steel 20" bands to sub out 12" Rogue bands. That size is perfect. Compact training is achievable. I use Rogue, Undersun and now Serious Steel closed loop bands. For tube bands i use GoFit - 20 to 100 lbs. Over 3 years no band has ever snapped. The amount of exercises you demonstrate per video places your clips at the top. 100k subscribers will happen.
I selected the GoFit brand for tubes due to the large rings at each end of the tube. The ring size allows for mounting each end on a curling bar. I do own the GoFit long bar however the hardware for attaching bands by clips to each end is not "OK". Yes GoFit handles are good quality and I use those 6 times per week. The tensile strength allows for heavy pulls and rows. Alll good for a slim 68 year old.@@hybridresistance
Soloflex are versatile and inexpensive aftermarket. Aircraft bands are reasonably priced upgrades to replace outdated bands. Small footprint/ well made/ versatile. Bosu is a great product too.
So true! That’s what’s kept me consistently working out over 20 years. The last few years I added bands to everything else and that has kept me mentally refreshed too.
Congratulations Mike. Your hard work, great reviews, and positive demeanor paid off. Thank you for your information. I bought a Gr8flex last summer after watching and subscribing to your channel. Excellent machine. Looking forward to more of your videos. Take care.
Great info, great hearing comparisons of all the different equipment 🙏 I like the combo of factual pros and cons and just your gut feelings, very helpful
Actually all of us are winning because of the great content. Boom! I like doing all the old school training methods of the past. I think that’s why I like the total gym so much, the nostalgia. That’s why I’m still trying to hunt down an authentic Frank Zane leg blaster. Your channel name used to be Primitive Fitness if I’m not mistaken. That’s why I like the channel so much, everything is old school hardcore style training.
haha thanks brother. I always love seeing and hearing you in the comment section. I'm right there with you on the old school equipment / training. I got some other stuff I planned with that in the future.
congrats on 30K. thanks for all the videos & great ideas for my home gym. started with rogue echo bike, solo strength stand & total gym 2000. just got the bowflex 552 dumbells & media rack stand, resistance bands, jungle gym straps, angles 90 grips, grip strength handles, fat gripz, new total gym fit with attachments plus the carabiner clips & swing swivels. looking forward to more new & informative videos.
a little better than the power blocks & older dumbbells. its a great space saver overall since I've picked up more toys for my home gym. running out of space like your garage. watching all of your videos has definitely helped me decide what type of equipment would work for a home gym on a budget. thanks mike
First, I want to say I love your videos. I know the name's already taken but I feel like you're the real garage gym reviews. What I really appreciate about you is that you show a variety of price points so there's something for everyone. Also, I really love how creative you are with finding different ways to use things and pushing the boundaries of the engineering of these products. Keep up the good work.
Love your reviews and I found you because I picked up a sliding bench. I would say my favorites to use are leverage systems and cable based machines. Thanks and congrats 🎉
30k man! I love and use every item of my home gym. I also do BodyPump, BodyCombat and spinning classes in between weight lifting and 3x a week boxing workouts at home
Thanks Jay and thanks for sharing all that training info. I'm still going to keep bothering about trying to use that Robocop mix you made on a video. Again, I'll pay you and promote your channel / work on the video.
AFAIK you had less than 10,000 when I started watching last year. Many of your videos are excellent reference works that I consult repeatedly, e.g. your comparisons and reviews of sliding bench models and accessories. I also learn a lot by reading user comments. Congratulations on hanging in there to reap the fruits of all of your hard work.
You trial and error approach has truly helped me think through many aspects of my training. Congratulations on your success and for being an inspiration to your children. Invest in your health.
I watched your interviews with Randy Huck and I'm glad there is somebody out there that provides better grade of equipment for the Total Gym sliding boards. Congrats on hitting the 30K views!
Love the Total Gym I bought last year through your channel. Considering the X3. I am a 68 year old woman and know resistance training has helped me to maintain function. I learned a lot from your channel. Keep up the good work!
Always good content. I use to be a meathead gym goer until about 6 years ago. I mainly stick to my total gym fit, bow flex dumbbells and Cross rope jump rope.
I like these equipment overview videos, because it’s helpful to see the longevity of use once the “shine” wears off of a new item. Sometimes I’ll see these new items on your channel, and the itch to buy the new and shiny thing can come on strong (X3 and Speediance are doing that to me right now!!), so it’s interesting to see if they will maintain position in your top three for as long as the TG has! I have always struggled to maintain consistency with working out, and a couple-ish years ago I purchased the TG fit after binge watching your review and workout content on the machine. I liked that the videos ranged over a long period of time, so it was clear the item was not just a passing fad - and the fact that you still list SB Trainers in your “top 3” speaks to that as well. Purchasing the TG was a great decision for me then; and because it is so versatile and keeps me engaged, I still use it to this day. This has kept me exercising consistently for longer than anything I’ve tried (especially after 30). X3 or Speediance in my future? Time will tell.
Congrats on the 30k! Your willingness to experiment with different equipment has been super helpful for us, I’ve spent years in gyms with heavy weights, but portability is a big factor for us now that we travel. Seeing the equipment in use, with unfiltered observations, is key.
Congratulations Mike! Very well deserved. We appreciate your dedication and hard work! My training includes functional training with kettlebells (clean, snatches, jerks and complexes) followed by TG fit isolation and some compound exercises. Heavy barbell deadlifting once a week. I also use resistance bands! Thank you for providing us with high quality content.
Loving the channel. I'm getting back into things and this time around wanting to focus on mobility and flexibility through building strength in full ranges of motion and working on extending those ranges. Far different type of training than I've ever been exposed to. I have a total gym, band set, surf trainer (revalance) board, sliders, pushup bars, ab wheel and fat grips so far. I don't want to go too crazy, but would like some outdoor calisthenics equipment and a heavy bag as well.
You deserve everyone of your subscribers. I personally use and like anything that is portable and multi useful, and of course my total gym because it does everything.
I just got my first sliding bench trainer recently, total gym xls, and I find your content very helpful as I've had to adjust how I train since I have very limited space at home. I really appreciate the advice and input you provide. Thank you and keep it coming!
Congratulations on 30k subscribers, Im just strictly bands now, at 65, with joint issues, bands are life savers for me, your homemade boards look great, someday I will try to get one. Thank you for taking the time to make these great videos.
Mike - great achievement- hope you crack the 50 000 mark soon 🎉 I never miss a video from your channel. Because of watching your videos I totally changed my approach to home gym equipment. Sold all of my heavy weights and bars, made myself a DIY X3 setup, bought a sliding bench trainer and now saving up for some adjustable dumbbells and an isokinator. Ps: dont know when was the last time I felt so sore after doing a 30 min. sliding bench workout you posted here.
@@hybridresistance i can relate to this 😂 I always kept them, hoping to use them properly. Now that they are gone, Im looking at Lever Gyms again haha
If you like the adjustable dumbells you have now, you might love the Pepin Fast track adjustable dumbbells. I like what I've seen of them, everything but the price.
Congratulations on hitting another impressive milestone ! We all have our own unique situations and your videos have been extremely helpful showing us what products are available and lots of clever ways to use them together. The user comments and suggestions have also been very helpful. You've created quite a great community of home fitness enthusiasts. Keep up the great work !
I tried a total gym fit on vacation at my girlfriends dad's house. I saw your videos and I had to have one, I picked one up off marketplace the next day and I've been using it almost every single day since. (Shoot I even have an x3 now too because of you 😅) I'm sure you've motivated a lot of other people like myself. Thanks buddy, keep doing your thing.
I agree with you on Power Blocks just sold my 90s and building my own Dumbells getting Baadass handles with his magnetic ends so say I want to row 120lb dumbell I can quickly knock off a 10lb on each side and then without seconds lift 100lbs to finish. Grab the other dumbell which might have 80 on it and keep doing reps knock off two 10s on it and finish with 60. HEAVY and rapidly adjustable as plates can be pulled off ends that are held on with super strong magnets. There's no way to BOTH go super heavy and change weight fast other than this solution and he was nice enough to sell my his handles and screw ons so I can use my existing Olympic weights. I bought another pair of 25s and got 5 more pairs of 10s. I have FatGriz too and agree they're awesome. For those who have a rack Rogue's Kabukki Transformer bar is the BEST piece of equipment for legs other than an expensive belt squat machine.
When i saw the boards i thought about the punisher Logo 😄haha great products and thank you for giving us great Content to help better use of everyday fitness brother 👍 Blood ,sweat and respect 🙌⚡️💪
Has been fun to see your channel grow. Congrats man! My favorite is the GTS I just picked up, and my Rogue Echo Bike. If I didn't have the GTS, I'd get another Powertec or a functional trainer.
You've been selected at random from one of my kids in blinded picking process. You get a Mac Board. Please email me your address within 48hrs to claim it. Thank you!
31k, dang bro that’s what’s up. I love all of your toys bro, If I had more room I would grab more toys but don’t have the room. I live in a studio. My fit along with the 400 lbs of bands I have mocked up on it is the best thing ever. I beat the pants off of it now, and it holds up very well. And now the pain in my joints is gone!!! Also When I’m done working out , it folds up and you don’t really notice it’s there. Also my wife now feels much better about herself as well. Still feel like I owe you a huge debt of gratitude. Finding your channel has been a life saver. God bless bro
You've been selected at random from one of my kids in blinded picking process. You get a pair of the Huck Product Handles. Please email me your address within 48hrs to claim it. Thank you!
30,000 --- Congratulations!!! Thank you so much for the time you put in shortening the learning curve for us. Please, at some point , make a video showing safer ways to not stress our shoulder joints, tendons, and ligaments as well as avoiding impingement when using our sliding bench trainers. Thanks.
Congratulations Mike on getting over 30,000 subscribers! Thanks to you I have purchased serious steel bands which I think are the best now. I also learned a lot from your reviews on different fitness accessories. Really appreciate your channel!
Just starting my fitness journey using a total gym, this channel has been amazing! Congrats on 30k. One of my biggest things that I recently found out using a total gym is that there really isn't a good app tracker for using it. I'm forced to use a generic workout app and try to find an exercise that closely resembles the one I'm doing. Then I put my numbered height as the weight to help try to remember for the following workout. But I'm having difficulty remembering which exercise on the app represents the exercise I actually did during the previous workout. I just think it would be amazing if an app was created where the app had pics/vids of the positions that could be used to track the workouts. Hopefully someone can develop one soon as I absolutely love the total gym for all my special needs.
Congrats Mike! I got hooked on your channel shortly after Covid as it was the only TG channel I could find. Love your reviews. They have certainly influenced my purchases. I really appreciate that you review more affordable at home equipment as well as show how to effectively incorporate them into your workouts. Keep going strong! 💪
Thanks Andrew, I know you've been around on here for a long time and that means a lot you've kept sticking around. You're in the my SBT inner circle for sure.
My fitness equipment consists of bands PowerBlock dumbbells for which my regimen consists of resistance exercises using that equipment. Being a 63 year old male and would like to incorporate the isomax into my fitness regimen as that would be extremely beneficial for me given my current Fitness situation but unfortunately the price tag is a little steep for me now.
It’s only $350 and it’s awesome! The eccentric overload it insane. They offer a return after a trial period so there’s really no down side of trying it. My bet, however is that you’ll end up keeping it. Unfortunately not a lot of videos on UA-cam reviewing it.
Congratulations on the growth of your UA-cam channel and thank you for the Skyler King interviews. Also Mike I meant to say it must be great to have all those options when working out and space. I have a Total Gym XLS, some kettlebells, hexagon dumbbells and living in a NYC apartment. All the best to you and your family! Thanks again
Congratulations Mike on a well deserved 30k. Great content. Honest feedback and always appreciate how you give the time out of YOUR day to engage your audience sincerely. Keep up the great work. I’m along for the ride cheering you on to 100k subscribers. God bless.
I purchased a used Total Gym Fit based on your channel. I now incorporate this into many of my workouts. It was a good purchase as I was getting very stale with my dumbbell workouts.
Mike, the channel is amazing and so happy for your success. Love the band reviews a lot as well as how detailed you are with the different total gym models.
congrats on the 30k subscribers, u deserve it buddy!💯%total gym is my main staple workout,barbells,dunbells,bands,i also been doing weighted pushups and discovered i get a better pump than a barbell press.i also link bands to my barbells,dumbells or solo,but im ordering a sissy squat because i have spinal stenosis from powerlifting,great content once again mike 💪
Congratulations Mike! Well deserved, always appreciate your content and opinions. I train at home using suspension trainer and bodyweight and weighted bodyweight exercises,bands and of course a Total Gym Fit which I was inspired to purchase because of you. Thanks and keep up the great work 👍 💪
Congratulations Mike! After watching your videos for a while I decided to buy a Total Gym Fit about 3 months ago, and have really been enjoying its versatility as a home gym trainer. I also want to try the X3 or similar resistance band training - would love the commemorative logo Mac footboard if chosen for the give away. Thanks for all the great video training and advice you provide, much appreciated!
Hey Mike - Congratulations on hitting 30K! I’ve always found your channel as very helpful and informative. I have a TG Apex 3, dumbbell and adjustable bench. I’ve been slacking for a bit, but am looking forward to getting back into it after the wife and I move next month.
Congrats! Well deserved! I've started researching X3 type systems and was very glad to find your reviews. I've now got a set up that I can travel with and I give you the credit to help me build that. Thank you. For home, I too, use power blocks for the heavy weight.
30K Well done!! Get it. I found you because of Stevie Richards. I purchased a G8Flex last week. Does Huck's products work on that too? Keep up the good work!
Hey Mike, congrats on the 30k subscribers !!! Since I have a small space to workout in besides my total gym fit I would probably add the adjustable dumbbells, the Cap squat stand and a foot plate, like the Mack board, and resistance bands. I had a bull worker in the 70's but don't like isometrics. I'm more of a rep and sets kind of guy. Thanks for all the info on the TG. Take care and keep the videos coming 💪
Congrats Mike on 30 k my go to machine is Total Gym that’s all I use no free weights no gym just me and Total gym in basement I am 58 years old thank you for all your videos Mike God Bless
Congratulations on hitting another awesome milestone. I know your channel has been incredibly helpful to me in my fitness journey. I am currently using the X3 bar, soloflex, and an older total gym 26000. Keep up the good work my friend 🎉
Congratulations on hitting 30K subscribers. I thought it was a good video. I have a lot of fitness stuff and like trying out new stuff. For me, variety is what keeps me interested in exercising and I go through phases on what products I use. I do have a lot of products that I bought and used for a while and that now just sits. Eventually I will probably make my way back to using them but like you said, out of site, out of mind comes into play a lot. Keep up the great work.
congrats on 30k subscribers....I remeber this was Primative before the name change. i upgraded our sliding bench to a TG encompass. I use plate weights with the encompass... and use the chest master which really helps chest workouts....I have an eliptical in the garage which takes up a lot of space, but it gets used twice a week.... I was thinking about all the stuff you've featured on the channel and wondered if you still used it, so this was a great video to do for us... Thanks for all the videos Mike, I often have a video going on the background and do learn from the older videos... my thought is that egyms are going to be big in the future for homes... I'm just not sure that this generation of e gym are going to last a long as predicted...
Thanks for doing the video. Congratulations on the 30K. I’m a senior almost 70 I started lifting in my mid forties and fifties than got away from it for to to many years. I’m getting back into it now , I ordered the Total gym fit. I am also thinking of getting a digital resistance machine. Question for you: On your Speediance is the adjustable bench stable ? I saw another review on the Speediance and the UA-cam focused mainly on the adjustable bench and said it almost caused him an injury because during a seated chest press the bench and machine was pulled back into a wall unexpectedly with only 50 pounds of weight he was using. The UA-camr is GamerBody . He was almost injured and luckily no damage to the wall. Basically I guess he is saying the adjustable bench is unstable possibly unsafe? Your Speediance machine , is that the one with the 32” screen ? Thanks again.
Thanks brother and thanks for the comment. Yes, the bench (really because of the function of the machine can pull back). In my review video you can kind of see this when I did the seated upright chest press. There's a shot in there where you see I load weights on the feet of the bench. If you had a bulky heavy bench, you'd probably be fine. But also in the gym, most people wouldn't be able to do some of these exercises because of the set up, so that a factor as well. Honestly, I don't know the screen size off the top of my head, but it is the most recent version.
Congratulations on getting 30,000 subscribers, Mike. You've consistently worked hard over many years, and it's paying off more and more each day. Your faithfulness has benefited many people. I wish you continued and greater success and health. God bless you and your family.
That means a lot, thank you. God bless to you too.
Love your channel I’m a 62 year old Army Veteran I use total gym the most because of you
Same age and same thing about the TG
Thank you for your service !

Awesome to hear. Very happy to hear the machine is working for you.

Glad it was helpful!
agree smart gyms aren't going away anytime soon.
Nice to see you brother. I agree for sure. Got to get you on the channel for an interview if you're ever up for it.
Actually all of us are winning because of the great content. Boom!

Congratulations! Your channel really helped me when I first got my total gym XLS
Thank you .
Congrats. I've watched most of your vids for a long time. I find gym/home gym combo is best for me.
I remember you in the comment section going way back. Always appreciated .

haha, pros and cons to that for sure.
Congratulations on 30k. You deserve it.
For me currently my go to is the gym pal and total gym fit max for any other moves I can’t do on the gym pal.
Gym Pal + TG is a complete package
Kudos, Mike. A very valuable and interesting channel.

I have been with you for a long time and bought a lot of stuff, but I am so excited to see you hit 30K

I am just now coming across your channel. Surprised that I had not seen it before... that google algorithm is failing :) Keep up the good work!!!

Congrats on over 30k subs. You deserve many, many more.
Thank you brother as always.
I've been using a lot of rep fitness stuff. The dual stack athena, the blackwing, rep open trap bar, the rep camber bar. I love my rogue OPB also.
I've been eye balling a few things from them for sure.
If you like the adjustable dumbells you have now, you might love the Pepin Fast track adjustable dumbbells. I like what I've seen of them, everything but the price.

Thanks so much Kris and thanks so much for supporting the channel.
The amount of value that I get from this channel is incredible. I actually bought a Sparta leverage gym after seeing your review on your leverage gym.
Thank you and awesome to hear the Lever gym is working out
I tried a total gym fit on vacation at my girlfriends dad's house. I saw your videos and I had to have one, I picked one up off marketplace the next day and I've been using it almost every single day since.
(Shoot I even have an x3 now too because of you 😅)
I'm sure you've motivated a lot of other people like myself. Thanks buddy, keep doing your thing.
I think I remember you saying that awhile back in the comments. Great story on your total gym.
Congrats on 30k subscribers!
Thank you!!
I agree with you on Power Blocks just sold my 90s and building my own Dumbells getting Baadass handles with his magnetic ends so say I want to row 120lb dumbell I can quickly knock off a 10lb on each side and then without seconds lift 100lbs to finish. Grab the other dumbell which might have 80 on it and keep doing reps knock off two 10s on it and finish with 60. HEAVY and rapidly adjustable as plates can be pulled off ends that are held on with super strong magnets.
There's no way to BOTH go super heavy and change weight fast other than this solution and he was nice enough to sell my his handles and screw ons so I can use my existing Olympic weights. I bought another pair of 25s and got 5 more pairs of 10s. I have FatGriz too and agree they're awesome.
For those who have a rack Rogue's Kabukki Transformer bar is the BEST piece of equipment for legs other than an expensive belt squat machine.
Great comment, thank you !
When i saw the boards i thought about the punisher Logo 😄haha great products and thank you for giving us great Content to help better use of everyday fitness brother 👍 Blood ,sweat and respect 🙌⚡️💪
Thank you my friend.
Been following for a long time. Love the honesty on the reviews and the content that most people would charge for.
Thank man, I know you're one of the long time viewers and commenters.
Has been fun to see your channel grow. Congrats man! My favorite is the GTS I just picked up, and my Rogue Echo Bike. If I didn't have the GTS, I'd get another Powertec or a functional trainer.
Can't beat a GTS. Thanks man for all the support.
You've been selected at random from one of my kids in blinded picking process. You get a Mac Board. Please email me your address within 48hrs to claim it. Thank you!
@@hybridresistance Thanks bro! Email sent.
31k, dang bro that’s what’s up. I love all of your toys bro, If I had more room I would grab more toys but don’t have the room. I live in a studio. My fit along with the 400 lbs of bands I have mocked up on it is the best thing ever. I beat the pants off of it now, and it holds up very well. And now the pain in my joints is gone!!! Also When I’m done working out , it folds up and you don’t really notice it’s there. Also my wife now feels much better about herself as well. Still feel like I owe you a huge debt of gratitude. Finding your channel has been a life saver. God bless bro
Thank you brother. You've been a regular in the comment section and it never goes unnoticed. Awesome to hear about how the joint pain has gone away.
@@hybridresistance Thank you bro
You've been selected at random from one of my kids in blinded picking process. You get a pair of the Huck Product Handles. Please email me your address within 48hrs to claim it. Thank you!
@@hybridresistance really bro? Thx a bunch. I’ll email you now.

30,000 --- Congratulations!!!
Thank you so much for the time you put in shortening the learning curve for us. Please, at some point , make a video showing safer ways to not stress our shoulder joints, tendons, and ligaments as well as avoiding impingement when using our sliding bench trainers. Thanks.
Will do John, great question / topic
Congratulations Mike on getting over 30,000 subscribers! Thanks to you I have purchased serious steel bands which I think are the best now. I also learned a lot from your reviews on different fitness accessories. Really appreciate your channel!
Congratulations Mike on your new milestone as 40k subscribers is a short distance away.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thanks Jose, always appreciate you in the comments section.
Just starting my fitness journey using a total gym, this channel has been amazing! Congrats on 30k.
One of my biggest things that I recently found out using a total gym is that there really isn't a good app tracker for using it. I'm forced to use a generic workout app and try to find an exercise that closely resembles the one I'm doing. Then I put my numbered height as the weight to help try to remember for the following workout. But I'm having difficulty remembering which exercise on the app represents the exercise I actually did during the previous workout. I just think it would be amazing if an app was created where the app had pics/vids of the positions that could be used to track the workouts. Hopefully someone can develop one soon as I absolutely love the total gym for all my special needs.
Got a strong feeling, that something like an app may be coming from TG.
Congrats on 30k well deserved brother
Thanks man. You always got good insight into products. Let me know some stuff you want to see in the future.
Congrats Mike! I got hooked on your channel shortly after Covid as it was the only TG channel I could find. Love your reviews. They have certainly influenced my purchases. I really appreciate that you review more affordable at home equipment as well as show how to effectively incorporate them into your workouts. Keep going strong! 💪
Thanks Andrew, I know you've been around on here for a long time and that means a lot you've kept sticking around. You're in the my SBT inner circle for sure.
You and Skyler were it for total gym on UA-cam. Now do a search and it’s pretty much all you. Congrats on your success, you’ve worked hard for it.
Thanks so much Jim
My fitness equipment consists of bands PowerBlock dumbbells for which my regimen consists of resistance exercises using that equipment. Being a 63 year old male and would like to incorporate the isomax into my fitness regimen as that would be extremely beneficial for me given my current Fitness situation but unfortunately the price tag is a little steep for me now.
Congrats! I currently use the Harambe system. Kynett Home flywheel and the Synapse CCR.
Thank you. I'm still on the fence checking out the CCR
It’s only $350 and it’s awesome! The eccentric overload it insane. They offer a return after a trial period so there’s really no down side of trying it. My bet, however is that you’ll end up keeping it. Unfortunately not a lot of videos on UA-cam reviewing it.
Congratulations on the growth of your UA-cam channel and thank you for the Skyler King interviews. Also Mike I meant to say it must be great to have all those options when working out and space. I have a Total Gym XLS, some kettlebells, hexagon dumbbells and living in a NYC apartment. All the best to you and your family! Thanks again
Thank you so much. Just recorded another with him I'll post in about a week.
good info on the channel, i love my TotalGym, but do hate the occasional hate it gets when by brother sees it in my home office
Tell me about it. This is the cross we bear with these machines for sure.
Congratulations Mike on a well deserved 30k. Great content. Honest feedback and always appreciate how you give the time out of YOUR day to engage your audience sincerely. Keep up the great work. I’m along for the ride cheering you on to 100k subscribers. God bless.
Tom, you're one of the greats on the channel. Always appreciate you. God bless to you and your wife as well.
Congrats on 30K! New to the channel and I really appreciate your Total Gym content. I never realized how versatile they can be, if you put on the work
Thanks man, really appreciate that.
Congrats Mike, I enjoy your conent
Thank you!
I purchased a used Total Gym Fit based on your channel. I now incorporate this into many of my workouts. It was a good purchase as I was getting very stale with my dumbbell workouts.
Congratulations on your first 30,000. You are always clear, fair and knowledgeable, and that is much appreciated. Thinking about buying an x3
Thanks so much Michael for the kind words.
Mike, the channel is amazing and so happy for your success. Love the band reviews a lot as well as how detailed you are with the different total gym models.
Thanks for that.
Hey Mike, thank you so much for your inspirational videos. You're the reason why I purchased a Total Gym GTS. Love it! Greetings from the Netherlands.
Thanks so much my friend and humbling to hear someone is watching way out in the Netherlands.
Congrats on the subscribers....Your putting out a high quality very user friendly channel that helps out a lot of us home gym users
Thank so much Josef and for the long term support on the channel.
congratulations buddy. really appreciate your hard work. you’ve got my full support Mike.
Appreciate you watching, thank you.
congrats on the 30k subscribers, u deserve it buddy!💯%total gym is my main staple workout,barbells,dunbells,bands,i also been doing weighted pushups and discovered i get a better pump than a barbell press.i also link bands to my barbells,dumbells or solo,but im ordering a sissy squat because i have spinal stenosis from powerlifting,great content once again mike 💪
Thanks ELAD. You're a positive power house that I really appreciate on the channel. Thank you as always.
@@hybridresistance thank u mike,were blessed to have u on youtube!
Congratulations Mike! Well deserved, always appreciate your content and opinions. I train at home using suspension trainer and bodyweight and weighted bodyweight exercises,bands and of course a Total Gym Fit which I was inspired to purchase because of you. Thanks and keep up the great work 👍 💪
Thanks so much Joseph for all the support over the years.
Congratulations Mike! After watching your videos for a while I decided to buy a Total Gym Fit about 3 months ago, and have really been enjoying its versatility as a home gym trainer. I also want to try the X3 or similar resistance band training - would love the commemorative logo Mac footboard if chosen for the give away. Thanks for all the great video training and advice you provide, much appreciated!
Thanks so much for that comment and support. Happy you trusted my reviews for trying out a TG.
Congratulations on hitting 30k subscribers! Love your content and always watch your new videos when they are posted.
Hey Mike - Congratulations on hitting 30K! I’ve always found your channel as very helpful and informative. I have a TG Apex 3, dumbbell and adjustable bench. I’ve been slacking for a bit, but am looking forward to getting back into it after the wife and I move next month.
Than you so much for that.
Congratulations on the subs, always have had the most useful equipment reviews and appreciated at that🤙
🗣️🎉
Congrats.
Congrats! Well deserved! I've started researching X3 type systems and was very glad to find your reviews. I've now got a set up that I can travel with and I give you the credit to help me build that. Thank you. For home, I too, use power blocks for the heavy weight.
Thank you. I'm out of town right now and packed up my x3.
I use my Total Gym 12000, old school rehab machine.. assorted kettlebells and bands. Your videos are very inspirational and appreciated 👍
Thank yo use much for that.
30K Well done!! Get it. I found you because of Stevie Richards. I purchased a G8Flex last week. Does Huck's products work on that too? Keep up the good work!
Yes, his products will work on GR8FLEX as well. Thank you!
Congrats on the channels success! The MAXPRO goes up to 300lbs. Just to let you know.
That actually popped in my head, but I think I had 220 in mind with the all the e gym limits
love you content Mike!
Thanks Brian
Congrats Mike, keep up the great stuff! Here’s to another 30k!
Hey Mike, congrats on the 30k subscribers !!! Since I have a small space to workout in besides my total gym fit I would probably add the adjustable dumbbells, the Cap squat stand and a foot plate, like the Mack board, and resistance bands. I had a bull worker in the 70's but don't like isometrics. I'm more of a rep and sets kind of guy. Thanks for all the info on the TG. Take care and keep the videos coming 💪
Thanks Daniel and hope all is well with you.
Congrats Mike on 30 k my go to machine is Total Gym that’s all I use no free weights no gym just me and Total gym in basement I am 58 years old thank you for all your videos Mike God Bless
Love the simplicity of that set up. Thanks Silvio
Congratulations on hitting another awesome milestone. I know your channel has been incredibly helpful to me in my fitness journey. I am currently using the X3 bar, soloflex, and an older total gym 26000. Keep up the good work my friend 🎉
Really wish I could try a Soloflex. That with an x3 sounds like awesome.
Thank you for all of your content and contribution to fitness. The foot plates look really nice!
Wow, those wooden boards look amazing! Would love to win one of those. 👌🌲
Thank you.
Congratulations on hitting 30K subscribers. I thought it was a good video. I have a lot of fitness stuff and like trying out new stuff. For me, variety is what keeps me interested in exercising and I go through phases on what products I use. I do have a lot of products that I bought and used for a while and that now just sits. Eventually I will probably make my way back to using them but like you said, out of site, out of mind comes into play a lot. Keep up the great work.
Thanks so much. Variety and keeping it fun keep me going for sure.
I use dumbbells, barbells and the isochain I mainly do calisthenics that’s why I don’t have much equipment
congrats on 30k subscribers....I remeber this was Primative before the name change. i upgraded our sliding bench to a TG encompass. I use plate weights with the encompass... and use the chest master which really helps chest workouts....I have an eliptical in the garage which takes up a lot of space, but it gets used twice a week.... I was thinking about all the stuff you've featured on the channel and wondered if you still used it, so this was a great video to do for us... Thanks for all the videos Mike, I often have a video going on the background and do learn from the older videos... my thought is that egyms are going to be big in the future for homes... I'm just not sure that this generation of e gym are going to last a long as predicted...
Thanks Fred. You've been a long time supporter way back and are in the SBT inner circle for sure. I think you may be right about e gyms.....
Thanks for doing the video. Congratulations on the 30K. I’m a senior almost 70 I started lifting in my mid forties and fifties than got away from it for to to many years. I’m getting back into it now , I ordered the Total gym fit. I am also thinking of getting a digital resistance machine.
Question for you: On your Speediance is the adjustable bench stable ? I saw another review on the Speediance and the UA-cam focused mainly on the adjustable bench and said it almost caused him an injury because during a seated chest press the bench and machine was pulled back into a wall unexpectedly with only 50 pounds of weight he was using. The UA-camr is GamerBody . He was almost injured and luckily no damage to the wall. Basically I guess he is saying the adjustable bench is unstable possibly unsafe?
Your Speediance machine , is that the one with the 32” screen ?
Thanks again.
Thanks brother and thanks for the comment. Yes, the bench (really because of the function of the machine can pull back). In my review video you can kind of see this when I did the seated upright chest press. There's a shot in there where you see I load weights on the feet of the bench. If you had a bulky heavy bench, you'd probably be fine. But also in the gym, most people wouldn't be able to do some of these exercises because of the set up, so that a factor as well. Honestly, I don't know the screen size off the top of my head, but it is the most recent version.
Love your videos! Congrats on hitting 30k. Well deserved. I’ve really enjoyed your X3 and isometric videos! Keep them coming :)
Thank you!
Congratulations on 30k. 🎉. Thanks for the amazing content
Thanks so much man.
Congrats on the 30k subs! Keep up the good work and quality content.
Thank you
Congrats Mike. Great work. Love your channel.
Thank you .
Really enjoy your content and the unique exercises that I ve never thought of keep it up ready for more
Keep up the good work Mike ! I use the X3 and would like to add a leverage gym at some point.. congrats on 30k !
