Activbody Activ 5 Coach, Palestra Portatile Unisex Adulto, Nero/Arancione, Standard

Arrivato nei tempi prestabiliti e molto ben impacchettato. Già provato il prodotto con un test e sono curioso di iniziare ad usarlo quotidianamente.

Sarò onesto, l'avevo preso senza la minimia fiducia tanto per fare qualcosa in questa quarantena infinita.
Mi sono ritrovato di fronte un avvessario notevole, una specie di sasso sa premere con forza seguendo le indicazioni dell'app e... sorpresa! il giorno dopo ero indolenzito! i muscoli lavorano veramente e le posture indicate sono spesso intricate in modo da far lavorare un singolo distretto alla volta per un esercizio molto mirato.
Il dispositivo ha già la sua batteria ministilo installata e non richiede configurazione: lo si accende, si avvia l'app e si riconoscono immediatamente (test su android 9 e 10). nella confezione c'è anche il supporto per tenere il telefono inclinato durante gli esercizi.

L'applicazione è tradotta in un italiano scadente, ma ci sono le figure che spiegano la posizione sia dell'oggetto che del corpo, quindi non è un vero problema.
Un paio di posizioni sono veramente incomprensibili, sul sito però si trova una guida pdf con tutti gli esercizi e avolte qualche dettaglio di spiegazione in più.

Molto divertente la dinamica dell'esercizio: non si stratta solo di pigiare come dei disperati sul dispositivo. L'applicazione infatti si connette in un istante al dispositivo e fa svolgere gli esercizi in forma quasi giocosa: bisogna modulare la forza seguendo una linea ideale, come unire dei puntini. In questo modo l'esercizio non è mai noioso e sempre molto sfidante. Bisogna sempre guardare lo schermo durante l'esercizio per seguire questa curva ideale ed ottenere la massima efficace, quantificata dall'app come % di precisione nel seguire le indicazioni.

A fine sessione, sono organizzate per circuiti da 5 minuti, spesso si è senza fiato.
L'importante è essere onesti e impostare per ogni posizione la forza massima che si riesce a sviluppare: in questa fase bisogna pigiare per qualche secondo come dei disperati. Se non si da tutto in calibrazione, l'esercizio sarà inutile.

In sintesi: ero quasi sicuro l'avrei dimenticato nel cassetto dopo un paio di giorni invece lo sto usando ogni giorno, più volte al giorno e non potrei essere più contento.

Very impressed

Recensito in Canada il 11 ottobre 2023

Great device. Just started using it last week but I can feel the results.
I’ll have to wait to see the results are after a few months of regular use.
The Bluetooth hook up is seamless with the app. It all works great with my iPhone XR.
The app exercises are fun.

Do you want to get fit but you don't know where to start? Get this!

Recensito in Svezia in data 13 marzo 2024

This product has made working out much more accessible. Even though the workouts are hard, the Activ5 makes exercising infinitely easier as you can workout in your pyjamas at home. Moreover, you likely already own the accessories needed for the workouts, such as a table and a yoga mat. This is a great device if you want to get more fit, strong or healthy. But don't expect it to miraculously make you fit, as exercise in all shapes and forms is hard and you will have to motivate yourself to do it. Good luck!

Es fácil de usar y en sesiones ejercicio cortas, puedes conservar y aumentar la masa muscular.

Por una cirugía en donde me recomendaron seis semanas sin actividad física, Mi propio médico me recomendó este Dispositivo para no perder masa muscular. Sólo he podido hacer brazos y piernas ya que la cirugía fue en abdomen. Pero me parece un aparato estupendo y fácil de usar

Klein, aber oho

Recensito in Germania il 17 novembre 2021

Wie das Gerät an sich funktioniert brauche ich nicht mehr zu beschreiben - das wird vom Hersteller schon übernommen.

Warum habe ich mir dieses Gerät zugelegt?
Seit längerem habe ich dem Fitness-Studio den Rücken gekehrt und vermehrt zu Hause zu trainieren angefangen (Schlingentrainer, Kurz- und Langhantel, Ausdauersport). Und da versuche ich immer wieder gerne neue Dinge, die mir so über den Weg laufen. So auch dieses kleine unscheinbare Gerät.
Irgendwie sehen die Übungen leicht und lächerlich aus - aber man sollte sich nicht täuschen lassen - sie haben es in sich. Auch wenn man max. 12 Minuten trainiert - es ist anstrengender als man denkt.

Was sollte man wissen?
Ich finde, dass es sinnvoll ist, wenn man schon irgendetwas im Bereich Kraftsport gemacht hat bzw. sollte man eine gewisse Körperspannung haben, um bei den Übungen keine allzu großen Fehler zu machen.

Wie sind die Übungen beschrieben?
Leider eher mager - lediglich 1-2 Bilder und ein Text dazu. Vom TRX kenne ich das anders - da gibt es ein kleines Video dazu, da weiß man, wie es genau zu machen ist.

Ersetzt es ein Fitness-Studio?
NEIN - definitiv nicht. Es werden einfach andere Reize an die Muskeln gesetzt. Sicherlich kann man die Übungen auch mit Hanteln nachmachen - aber wohl nicht so effektiv.
Aber man darf nicht den großen Muskelaufbau erwarten, wenn man lediglich 12 Minuten am Tag trainiert - das geht einfach nicht.
Jedoch werden die vorhandenen Muskeln besser definiert - und man tut etwas für den Körper an sich - man muss sich anstrengen - und dies bringt den Kreislauf ein wenig in Schwung.
Somit hat das Gerät einen positiven Einfluss und Effekt.

Übungsanleitungen:
Diese kann man nur über eine App verwenden - anderweitig funktioniert das Gerät nicht. Dies sehen manche als Nachteil, aber man kann auch am Handy alles gut sehen - da es nicht viel zu sehen gibt.

Vorteile:
Dieses kompakte Gerät kann man wirklich überall hin mitnehmen (Urlaub, Dienstreise, etc. ). Somit kann man immer trainieren.
Weiters dauern die Einheiten max. 12 Minuten - die sollte man schon mal erübrigen können.
Robust ist das Teil - da geht nichts so schnell kaputt.

Nachteil:
Doch etwas teuer.
Übungen wiederholen sich immer wieder für andere Muskelgruppen.

Würde ich das Gerät empfehlen?
JA - aber:
Es sollte in Kombination mit anderen Trainingsgeräten verwendet werden, bzw. sollte man sich weitere Betätigungen suchen, da es sonst langweilig wird. Und dann liegt das Gerät herum.

In meinen Augen ist es ein sinnvolles Spielzeug, welches beim Trainieren viele Muskelgruppen anspricht. Ich trainiere gerne damit - es ist mal was anderes.

I Love This Activ5. For me - it's Great!

Recensito nel Regno Unito il 9 aprile 2021

Wow! I've used many indoor home exercise gadgets, from exercise bikes to steppers and lots more.

Due to many injuries over the years including having 3 bulges in different parts of my spine and now living each day with chronic almost full-body pain as well as living on several opioid painkillers - I have become totally unfit and unable to use any of my other exercise equipment.

My energy level is such that I find it hard to get through the day without the need to sleep several times a day and then get up just as (and even more exhausted) than before going to sleep.

I decided to give the Activ5 gadget a try. For what it costs and for the important fact that it takes up zero room to store at home (unlike all my other exercise equipment that I'm unable use and takes up so much of the little space I have in my home) it nothing less than brilliant!

I started my first week (of six) and am on my second week. I only use it 3 times a week and although any of the 3 day's exercises take up to about 11 minutes in total - need to do the exercises lasting about 30-40 minutes.

That's one of the things I really like about it. I don't have to do one exercise directly after another - I can simply wait until I've got enough energy to do the next exercise.

I'm really amazed at how I feel the different parts of my body that it hits and I'm feeling it the next day in all the different parts of my body.

I'm 62 years old and have been feeling about 92 years old for some time now.

I hardly ever leave my home due to pain and lack of energy but now feel like I'm not only making small improvements to my physical health but it's seems to be good for my mind and believe that regular continued use of this Activ5 can and will continue to improve my overall mental and physical health.

The one thing that I will say is that each exercise requires them to be done properly and that it's absolutely necessary to focus on the specific parts of the body to get any real benefit.

You do have to use optimal strength for each exercise and for me, that requires a lot of motivation - which I find very hard. But I start with light stretching for about 30-40 minutes beforehand and is the catalyst that then gets me mentally set to start my Activ5 exercises.

That's the hardest part of using it. The getting my mind set to begin them. Once started, I'm able to continue to the end (albeit that it's takes me 3-4 times longer to complete).

But for me, it's a real accomplishment when I've finished them on that day and am so happy that I got myself to do them.

To be honest, before I bought this, I'd been ready and hoping to just not waking up anymore. I'd literally had no quality of life and had not been coping with life at all.

If I can continue to use this every few days, I believe I can drastically improve my overall health.

I bought a second Activ5 and have then connected to 2 different mobile phones.

I use one to go through the complete 6-week exercise program, which logs my continued up and down of improvement and I use the other one to just do a few exercises that isolate and target individual parts of my body, like say my chest, arms, and abs (which have disappeared - ha) and legs.

It connects very easy to my phones - even though they are relatively cheap (STK X2). The cost about £200 each - nothing fancy about them.

The science behind these exercises are proven and whoever designed the exercises for this excellent gadget really knows their stuff.

I've used Bullworkers in the past and they are great but Activ5 can isolate parts of the body that a new style Bullworker can never do.

I stopped using both my Bullworkers, as they seriously damaged my shoulders. I had to have both of the operated on. They've never been the same! Still can't lay on either of them.
I recommend Activ5. I'm not being paid for this review and would be quick to give a negative review, as I bought so much useless crap in the past.

I recommend that if you buy this, it's very important to read each instruction a few times before doing each and every exercise, as you do need to mentally focus on the specific muscle.

The hardest part for me to use this, is to get started but as I stated - once I've done my stretching first, it gets my mind in gear to use the Activ5.

I'm still waiting to get my first Covid-19 vaccination at home, as I'm agoraphobic but once I've had them both, I'm gonna be selling all my other unused exercise equipment that I've not used for several years and enjoy the extra space I'll have indoors.

Personally, I wouldn't believe all or any of the negative reviews although some may love Activ5 (as I do) and others may not find it to be if value to them.

But like anything - it's only of value if you use it. If you're looking to build your body like Arnold Schwarzenegger, then this wouldn't be for you - although it can help.

I hope my review helps. Good luck 🤞😃
