I used to be a fitness fanatic.
I own several pieces of fitness equipment,
but none of them are particularly interesting enough
to keep me exercising regularly.
So I was interested when Gymera reached out to me
with their latest product and invited me to their office
to check it out and meet the team with the ideas behind it.
So, what’s special about it? Let’s get started.
Alright, starting with the design.
We have an on/off switch and a power port at the bottom.
Also, there are two wheels below them
so you can move this heavy machine easily.
Moving up is the main frame of the Gymera.
There are two arms, one on each side.
If we take a closer look,
we have the arm angle mark there so you can adjust the arms to different angles when
you are doing different exercises. We’ll talk about that in a second.
Moving to the front,
the first thing you will notice is this giant 25” by 54” mirror.
You can do some warm-ups or Cardio training in front of the mirror.
We can see there are two cushions on the mirror,
so when you fold the mirror down, it won’t be scratched or anything.
But is this glass durable enough when you are exercising on it?
I’m curious to know so I just did a little bit of a jump test on it.
There is a 27” color touchable display on the front as well.
I personally think this display is what makes it totally different from other fitness equipment.
Why? Let’s power this thing on and do some workouts!
Once we turn on the machine, here is the home interface. There are lots of fitness
items there for you including fitness purposes, gaming fitness, training plans,
and much more. Let me elaborate on some of the items that truly dazzle me,
which I think are unique and interesting.
First is Gaming Fitness.
There are some games there like Car Racing
which allows you to drive the car by pulling the strings left or right.
It lets you have fun at the same time burning calories.
I like that. The reason I guess for many people, including me, always giving up fitness too easily
is that exercising is just boring and painful, it requires lots of effort.
But if we can add a bit extra fun to it,
it might be a different thing and doesn’t require too much discipline.
What’s even better is Gymera told me that they might add even more different kinds of
games in the future, maybe including 3D gaming, Somatosensory gaming, or even VR gaming.
Though I’m unable to test that, they seem tempting.
Besides the game is the “Double Fitness”.
What that means is you can exercise with your partner.
Choose the movements you want to work out,
as you can see on the screen, there is a tutorial for you,
you can choose to watch that the first time you work out.
Then adjust the arms according to the video.
You can set the parameters like Repeats, Sets, and Rest time.
You can also set the load for you and your partner separately.
Then you can start your training.
This “Double Fitness” feature I haven’t found on other equipment,
which I guess is interesting as it’s always good to have one there training with you.
Once you end your training, it will generate a report of this training.
Another highlight of this Gymera machine is it’s compatible with numerous accessories
so you can always choose whichever one you want to work out.
Like you can quickly switch to this barbell if you want.
BTW, the arms come with a quick-release design,
so you can easily switch in seconds.
For each training program, there is a very detailed tutorial shown to you
before you enter into the training
so you will know how to do that properly.
I’m glad they have that so even if you are new you will get it right.
As a piece of smart home gym equipment,
you probably want something smart.
Yes, they have a voice assistant for you.
You can simply speak “Hi G” to activate it
and simple words like Begin, stop, etc. to tell it what it to do.
(OK)
This is particularly convenient when you can’t operate the screen,
say for example when you have your back to it,
or when you want to take selfies.
Yes, the screen comes with a 5MP camera,
and you can save the picture directly to your phone.
Showing workout pictures to our friends is definitely
one of the reasons why we work out right?
And yes, it comes with an APP.
It is a super detailed one with all kinds of tutorials there.
You can set up your training plans and sync to the Gymera
so you will know which date you have the training and started the workout.
Alright, that’s basically my first look at this Gymera smart home gym equipment.
Compared to other traditional ones, there is a lot going for it,
especially the software inside that screen.
It provides not only practical but also interesting training programs
to let you have the motivation to keep training.
It’s compatible with many other accessories so you won’t feel bored.
The build quality is incredible, it feels like a tank!
And I would imagine this thing would last for many years.
How can you be assured of that? Well, Will, the sales director from Gymera
showed us their Engineering Center,
where they heavily test this machine.
They are using test equipment to pull the strings
and run the motors etc at their max capacity hundreds of thousands of times,
and they have to withstand those tests.
So I guess that would last for many years.
Lastly, Will showed me the office and met the CEO Todd.
So this is the administration part of Gymera,
this is the product manager Wang Teng, (hello,) hello.
Here is the marketing sales and marketing part
we are doing a lot of uh activities before Kickstarter.
okay this is the R&D department.
Most of our team are here you see here we have another

well since they are here.
Okay this is our founder's office oh let's get in right sure
