Garage Gym Updates was the guest and we discussed the Rogue Boneyard vs. “Titan Scratch and Dent“, Treadmills vs. Stairmaster, where you are buying a bench, and more.
The summary can be found on YouTube, Spotify, Apple, or wherever you get your podcasts! In addition, you’ll find clips of some deep dive conversations in the post below that can be found on YouTube.
- About 30% had high interest in Rogue Boneyard items while 20% voted this was for the “Titan Scratch and Dent.” Both included about a third with medium interest.
- “Powerlifting Gyms” are the ideal “other option” for for nearly half when asked: “Which other gym option interests you most. CrossFit gyms accounted for about 28% as well. Box and botique gyms were a bit behind.
- There was a bit more interest in the AbMat than Ab Roller. The roller received 16% high votes while the AbMat was a little under 18%.
- The majority watched little or no March Madness so far. Only 14% say a lot while 61% voted none.
- Not a massive amount of “high interest” in treadmills but “non motorized” had quite a bit more interest than those with motors. They received “high interest” from about 18%, which was 2.5 higher than motorized treadmills. Both are down though when we asked about this last January.
- The stairmaster beat out the treadmill by 1% when asked if you’d rather have a stairmaster or treadmill within your home gym. Only 8% said no interest in either.
- When asked where you are most likely to get a bench, REP was the clear winner over Rogue, Titan, and Other with 44% of the votes. Rogue received 32%.
- However, Rogue is the easy winner when asked where you are going to get your foldaway rack from with 49% of the votes. REP/Titan received 22%, PRx just 17%, and then 11% other.
- Only 16% knew that Bells of Steel released a couple of new benches this year. To compare, we asked this soon after the Rogue 3.0 bench was released where 42% said they knew of the release.
- While there wasn’t any additional context or a definition of “commercial gym equipment,” only 42% said they had zero pieces of commercial gym equipment in their home gym.
- 78% said they had more interest in “Specialty Strength Machines” vs. “Heavy Cardio for their home gym use.
What company that sells gym equipment has the best price/quality ratio?
- This was our Sunday Survey conversation. The most popular answers were probably what you’d expect. REP and Titan were mentioned quite a few times. Rogue was as well. Bells of Steel, Fray Fitness, Get RXd, and Fringe Sport also received some mentions.
