I love that the bar, grips, rings system is both adjustable and customizable. So many suspension systems out there offer one or the other, but not both!

Efficient ordering and communication process, quickly followed up by a well constructed bit of kit. Good value for money.

The system is great! So versatile, to stretch on, workout on even swing on hehe. I've been using rings for years now and I love how easy this system is to adjust, makes going between exercises so much better, and I love the bar. I did not realize how much I would love have a bar available to perform all sorts of exercises on, even just to sit lol. I recommend this product wholeheartedly.

David was great to talk to. I placed an order for the essentials kit, but then decided to buy the full kit instead, and David was very accommodating. I love the BGR system too. It makes it so much more convenient to go from doing pull ups to push ups and I can do it anywhere. Highly recommend.

Have had my BGR for over a year and use it at least 2x per session with my PT clients. It's very versatile and the difficulty level can be easily adjusted for my client's level of fitness. I have had many different suspension trainers, but the BGR is far superior, would highly recommend for purchasing for your own gym.

This is one of the best product out there for Calisthenics, portable strong and very functional!

Left an early bad review, but the company owner quickly responded (in under an hour)b and responded to my issues. Great customer service

Great and strong product. I had to wade through too many youtube videos for set up. I believe a booklet with photos would be helpful. Part of this is on me because I didn’t research your product thoroughly and wasn’t knowledgeable when it arrived. It is a great product and has helped me tremendously with my strength goals.

Being able to easily adjust the length of the straps is a game changer. Very innovative. It is light weight and portable enough to allow me to exercise when I pond jump, paddle and hike.

Great service and amazing gears!

Easy to mount and dismount.

The BGR is a game changer! The versatility of the product alone offers a minimalistic way to get a great workout in. The ease of which you can transition with the bar and rings in a workout is what I’m most impressed with. I save so much time by not having to muck with straps with my old gymnastics ring set and in seconds can take my workout from an exercise requiring height to one based just above the ground. No more need for heaps of bulky equipment. Best gym investment by far!

I've used the TRX and the Jungle Gym XT, both this device and kit as a whole is 100 times better as well as more versatile. Not to mention with this system the adjustment is clean, easy, and concise. No more annoying traps hanging around in your face. I truly hope that this company has a strong future with its product being available in multiple shops.

Livraison très rapide. Produit très bonne qualité et offre énormément de possibilité d'entrainement.

Don't usually review things, but people have to know about the BGR!

Been training with this equipment for around 5 months now with my clients. In my industry, being a personal trainer, I work with people with all levels of experience and various fitness goals. I now regularly work the BGR into everyone's fitness routine, especially the beginners to help build their stabiliser muscles before moving on. Great product and would recommend to any personal trainer to have on their arsenal.

Great quality product that does the job very well. Versatile and solid product.

I have used this product myself and with customers in my studio and I just love the versatility and how easy is to set up. Robust but versatile.
Excellent invesment

I love how easy it is to adjust. It’s very efficient. No more annoying long strap.

I was looking for some portable workout equipment that would allow me to maintain a good level of physical activity whilst traveling. I work out 4-6 times a week, and was going to be away for a month in northern Botswana where gyms are a rare luxury. I initially had some difficulty placing the order as Canada wasn't listed on the destinations BGR shipped to. I communicated directly with David and he was extremely helpful getting my set shipped out promptly. I must say i'm very happy with this kit. All parts are made exceptionally well and I expect they'll give me many years of regular use (they'll likely outlast my 59 year old body!). My only complaint is the weight of the pull-up bar; it's a bit heavier than expected, but even with the added weight, my luggage was well under the allowed maximum. It was easy to set up, and stayed in regular use for the duration of my trip, and generated a lot of questions and envious looks from my coworkers- I was happy to share with them.
Thanks David for your excellent product and exceptional customer service!!

Amazing product. We bought this for our Dad as a present. Well packaged, excellent quality. Highly recommend. Thanks Guys!

I've lowered my original rating from 3 to 2 stars. Why? Because of the extreme pettiness from BGR complaining & saying that my review was 'promotional' (not once, but twice!) - really, just being fair & critical of the BGR, especially the egregious price, natty bag (an insult frankly to us customers buying this premium priced product), etc. As such I've removed the name of the far superior (& very similarly functioning - maybe this is why BGR not happy? Maybe BGR 'inspired' by the recoil mechanism of this product?) product.

I'm very disappointed with how BGR have behaved in this regard. He says he wants reviews - positive & negative. Well, unfortunately that's a fallacy as constructive criticism is not accepted. For this behaviour to a paying customer providing constructive criticism I've lopped a star off. If I was as petty as BGR, I'd have lopped off two.

See below my review before all this nonsense with the 'offending' brand name (of which I have no affiliation) removed. Who knows - perhaps its recoil mechanism served as 'inspiration' to BGR.

--------
Reasonable product with some good features though greatly overpriced - much better as well as cheaper options available out there.

I regret my purchase (September '22) of the BGR. It's way overpriced by around £50+. A far superior product that is similarly priced would be the _____ - the strap system is far more effective & smoother - with the BGR I'm worried the strap mechanism will break whenever I use it. The build quality of the BGR is also far inferior to that of the _____. It's also heavier & bulkier than the _____ & with a cheap flimsy bag ready to tear & break at any moment. On the the other hand, reflecting its high price point, the bag for the S2 is high quality doubling also as a door anchor. The door anchor provided in the BGR kit is another area where it falls short - flimsier than the door anchors provided with the cheapest resistance band kits available on amazon.

It's not all bad though. The grips really are where the BGR shines - though unfortunately this doesn't make up for the other areas in which it fails (BGR strap units/door anchor/bag/bar). Nor does it justify the ridiculously excessive price tag. They're grippy & have a great adjustable strap for any suspension trainer exercises where you're not holding the grips with your hands but using your feet.

This, really is where the BGR is best, as a suspension trainer. However, it's still very heavy & an awkward bulky shape if you were to travel with it in its lightest & most 'compact' form (minus rings & bar). And don't forget the tatty cheap mesh bag provided! Most suspension trainers will be lighter & more compact. Even the heavy _____ retains a better shape in its bag (& is probably lighter to boot).

In conclusion, an interesting idea in theory, though not so great in practice. There are far better (& affordable) options - even buying a separate set of gymnastic wooden rings with numbered straps (approx £40) & suspension trainer (£100+/-) you'll be spending significantly less than the BGR. Both together will probably be even lighter & less bulky (plus, as a bonus, you might also get better quality bags to carry your kit!).

My recommendation is to get gymnastic rings or a suspension trainer or both. If you want something 'similar' to the BGR at the same price point, go for the above mentioned trainer. It's an expensive item but is far more deserving of its price tag than the BGR.

I had to edit the above as BGR didn't appreciate the comparing of their product to better (& cheaper) similar options labelling it 'promotional'. I'm just highlighting where, in my opinion, the BGR falls short (whilst also drawing attention to its strengths). In addition, one thing I believe BGR should do is provide all purchasers a proper reasonable quality bag to replace the tatty mesh bag (really a big no no for such a high cost product).
