I can’t guarantee that using this lightweight, portable gym will result in a body like the model in their photos. (I suspect that guy does a whole lot more than work out with this portable gym). That said, it makes a terrific way to get in some resistance training and keep yourself moving on days when it is too windy or rainy for walks and hikes.
There’s a foldable push-up board with handles that target various body areas while helping to keep your alignment correct. That’s not my favorite part, though, as I can do push-ups without it (and my injured shoulder does not allow much push-up action anyway). What I do like is the resistance bands of various strengths and the bars you can attach to them. These will enable you to target many lower and especially upper body areas. There’s also an ab roller that I like a lot.
This set contains a foldable push-up board, a no-slip pad, a three-section bar, six resistance bands, two ankle straps, a door anchor, and an ab roller wheel.
The custom-designed push-up board targets specific muscle groups (chest, triceps, shoulders, back) and improves exercise efficiency by 80%. Ideal for both beginners and advanced users, the portable fitness system is lightweight, stable, and allows for adjustable intensity. It’s perfect for at-home or RV on-the-go workouts.
What I especially like about the whole-body portable gym
• It’s lightweight.
• It’s compact for storage; everything fits in the small, included bag.
• It can provide a full-body resistance workout in a very small space.
• The variety of resistance bands makes it suitable for most fitness levels, including absolute beginners.
• The clips on the accessories make everything quick and easy to assemble and take apart.
What can be improved?
The instructions! Like many products on Amazon these days, the instructions could be improved. There’s enough there for you to use it, but more detailed workout plans would have been nice.

Bands are great. Most people lifting weights would be much safer and healthier if they used bands instead.
If you have back problems, don’t do push-ups without training from a physical therapist. The key is to keep your elbows in along your body, not out to the sides. Also do the push-ups on a counter or something, not on the ground.
My miracle treatment for back problems is myofascial release. Orthos and most PTs have a blind spot covering soft tissue.
Unknotting the fascia tissue is essential and can be nearly miraculous but you will not hear it from them.
Enter myofascial into Google maps and give it a try. It has changed my life.
Thank you for the advice, John! Keen to see if any are near us. Have a great week and safe travels!
Thank you, Cheri! This is intriguing. Not sure if it is more practical for home or RV. If buy will at least take to Alaska and see if we use it regularly (much). Have a great week and safe travels!
