Level of Interest in Q3 2022 Gym Equipment Releases

In the last Sunday Survey of the third quarter this year, we asked about 18 different products released in this timeframe.

The entire list is below, but some of the highlights include:

  • The Hydra Seal Pad from Bells of Steel impressed quite a few. About 44% expressed at least “medium interest” and it scored quite a bit higher than many other “more basic attachments” added this year including the Drop In Dip Attachment.
  • The Made in USA SSB was in third but didn’t quite beat out the REP SSB voted on earlier in the year (full-year standings are towards the bottom of this post).
