Kickstart your seasonal fitness routine with Gymproluxe at home

At-home workouts have remained popular since the Covid pandemic, offering a convenient and often more affordable alternative to traditional gym memberships. With research revealing that nearly one in five members never actually step foot in the gym – and half of new joiners quit within six months – it’s hardly surprising that more people are opting to exercise at home instead.

One brand capitalising on the shift is Gymproluxe, marketed as a revolutionary compact home gym. Its signature Band and Bar Set 2.0 allows users to perform more than 100 exercises from the comfort of their living room – or wherever they choose to train.

The kit includes a detachable bar, padded exercise belt and six adjustable resistance tubes (2x 10kg, 2x 15kg, 2x 20kg), offering resistance of up to 90kg. A carry bag is also included, along with lifetime access to the Gymproluxe app.

Assembly is quick and adjustments are straightforward. In use, the system proves more versatile than its size suggests, particularly for upper-body exercises. There are fewer lower-body options, and taller or broader users may find the fit slightly restrictive.

Exercises range from upper-body moves such as the bench press, chest fly, weighted push-up, bicep curl, upright row, bent-over row and seated row, to lower-body exercises including hip thrusts and donkey kicks, allowing you to target the chest, back, arms and glutes in a single session.

In testing, the seated row stood out as particularly effective, engaging the back and biceps with a satisfying level of resistance. The donkey kick is useful for glute activation, although it takes a little practise to maintain proper form.

If you’re used to traditional free weights, the bands may feel unfamiliar at first, but once you adapt, they provide an effective workout.

Another big advantage? Resistance training carries less risk of injury than weights, while still delivering results. It also supports heart health, boosts circulation and reduces blood pressure, making it a workout that benefits your overall wellbeing.

Added perks include lifetime free access to the Gymproluxe app, which features coach-led workouts and challenges designed to keep motivation high. We found the instructional videos especially helpful for checking form, while the progress tracking and challenges make it easier to stay consistent over time.

While no single product can truly match the versatility of a full gym, the Band and Bar Set 2.0 stands out as a smart investment for anyone looking for a flexible, space-saving and effective way to keep fit.
