For the past few years, I’ve struggled with staying consistent at the gym. Between the rising cost of memberships, commuting to and from, and just feeling uncomfortable working out in a crowded space, I started to lose motivation.
I still wanted to build strength and stay in shape, but I needed something that fit into my life not something I had to constantly schedule around. That’s when I stumbled upon the GYMPROLUXE Band and Bar Set 2.0 + App Summer Bundle, and honestly, it’s been a total game-changer.
At first, I was sceptical. I wasn’t sure how resistance bands could really replace weights or gym machines, but the reviews were glowing (4.8 stars and over 500 reviews) and the fact that it was designed for variable resistance training intrigued me. I figured it was worth a shot especially since it cost less than a couple months at my local gym and came with lifetime access to the Gymproluxe app.
When it arrived, I was impressed with the quality right away. The detachable steel bar feels super solid and professional and not flimsy at all. The padded belt fits comfortably around my waist and doesn’t dig in, and the resistance tubes are color-coded, which makes switching things up really simple.
I love that you can combine bands for up to 90KG of resistance, depending on your level or the type of exercise you’re doing. Plus, it all comes in a stylish little gym bag that I can take anywhere. No bulky equipment cluttering up my living room.

What truly sets this system apart is the way it works your body. The variable resistance model mirrors your natural strength curve; it provides more resistance when your muscles are strongest (like during the peak of a movement) and less when you’re weaker. It’s not something I ever really thought about before, but it totally makes sense.
I’ve found myself working smarter, not just harder. And it works. In just a few weeks I noticed my glutes and shoulders starting to look more defined, and I wasn’t even doing super long workouts. Just 30–40 minutes a few times a week.
Another highlight for me is the Gymproluxe app. It’s loaded with over 100 full-body workouts, broken down by goals (strength, toning, mobility, etc.) and difficulty level. I never have to think about what workout to do I just pick one and follow along.
It also includes a 28-day transformation guide which I used during my first month. It gave me structure and kept me motivated, which I definitely needed.
One of the best things? There’s way less risk of injury. I’ve dealt with lower back pain in the past from using heavy dumbbells incorrectly, and this system takes that fear away. The way the resistance is distributed feels safer and more natural.
Plus, there’s no pressure on my joints, which means I can actually focus on building muscle without constantly worrying about hurting myself. And let’s be honest not everyone wants to lift in front of a room full of sweaty gym bros. There’s a certain confidence that comes from being able to work out in your own space, on your own terms.
I throw on some music or a podcast, roll out my mat, and get to work. I feel stronger, more in control, and way more motivated than I did dragging myself to the gym after a long day. If you’re a woman looking for a real alternative to traditional gym workouts, something that delivers real results without taking up space, time, or costing a fortune, GYMPROLUXE is it.
It’s beautifully designed, easy to use, and seriously effective. Whether you’re a beginner or already into fitness, this bundle adapts to you. I tried it, and I absolutely loved it. I’m lifting smarter, gaining strength, and finally staying consistent and I didn’t even have to leave my house to do it. Long may it continue.
