(0:00) Intro
This week’s survey discussed the difficulties of taking rest when needed vs. working out enough, who you are filling your gym with (keeping cost in mind) again, flooring recommendations, and the 2022 REP releases. This week’s guest analyst is The Chicken!
(1:09) Is working out enough or resting when needed more difficult?
- It was pretty close, but resting when necessary is more difficult for more than working out enough.
(2:51) With cost in mind, who would you fill your gym with (Titan, REP, Rogue, Sorinex)?
- Rogue wins this by just a few over REP. They combined for about 77% of the votes.

(5:26) Level of interest in GHD, Reverse Hyper, or a Combo?
- The GHD was the winner here, but it only received 26% “high” votes. Therefore, none of these had a ton of interest in having this in their home gym.
- For those unaware, “Combo” refers to a GHD/Reverse Hyper Combo like the Reverse Hammer below.
(10:34) Should Peloton merge with another strength equipment company focused on home gyms?
- The biggest vote getter was “Yes” with about 42% thinking that they need to add another strength equipment company.
(13:39) What type of flooring are you most likely to get?
- Stall mats absolutely dominated this one. It received nearly 3/4 votes and about 14x more votes than a deadlift platform and 11x more than “other” options.
(16:48) Level of Interest in Premium J-Cups vs. Premium Barbell Collars
- 18% voted high interest in premium J-Cups, which is up from 16% voting last January.
- 20% voted high interest in premium barbell collars, which is down from 23% in the year before.
- Therefore, there was slightly more interest for the collars, but the numbers weren’t too high for either.
(21:00) Occupation?
- Military, nurses, and coaches all reached out about this question…. So keep that in mind. Nevertheless, there were slightly more “white collar” workers than “blue collar” ones this time around. Last year, the figures were exactly the same.
- About 3% are stay at home parents.
(23:03) Which 2022 REP release are you most interested in?
- The specialty bars were the easy winner with about 42% of the votes. The Ares attachment and Yoke combined for just about 30%.
- About 28% did not know what this question was referring to.
(24:55) Of the 2022 releases from REP, which specialty bar interests you most?
- Open Trap narrowly beats out the SSB by about 1% with 36% of the votes. The Multi-Grip bar wasn’t too far behind around 29%.
