(0:33) Rogue or Titan (with price in mind)?
(3:20) How much time a day do you save by owning a home gym?
- Only about 14% say they save less than 15 minutes a day by owning their own gym.
- While the majority are saying 15-45 minutes are saved, a massive 35% save more than 45 minutes a day.
(8:50) What do you struggle with most during home gym workouts? Finishing Strong, Warming Up, or Moving at a Good Pace?
- Moving at a good pace throughout your home gym workout was the #1 issue here with 42% of the votes. There can be lots of distractions that pop up when working out at home and this is likely the reason for the voting.
- Warming up was just behind at 41% and received quite a bit more votes than “finishing strong.”
(17:15) How likely are you to purchase a product your favorite athlete promotes?
- Over 2 out of 3 said it makes no difference.
(21:40) Knurling Preference
- The vast majority prefer a “moderate” knurl preference with about 35% wanting it to be aggressive.
- Less than 9% wanted it to be on the opposite side of the spectrum with a “passive” or “aggressive as possible” knurl.
(23:01) Miscellaneous
- 31% watched at least some of the CrossFit Games
- 40% classify themselves as an equipment snob (has risen a few percentage points each time we’ve asked since 2019
- Instagram is the favorite social media platform for 78%

- “Commercial Rated” is at least important for 43%.
