Fitness Most Wanted 2025
At Garage Gym Reviews, fitness and nutrition are what we do and what we know. Our team of experts, including certified personal trainers, nutrition coaches, Olympians, dietitians, and more, spends a considerable amount of time actually using these products, testing them during our own workouts, and rating them using our proprietary multi-point methodologies.
We created Fitness Most Wanted to shine a spotlight on the products that we think are the best out there—those that innovate, those that provide great value to the user, and those that challenge others in the same product category to up their game.
Relying on our years of collective experience, we present to you the products on our Fitness Most Wanted 2025 list. While you’ll have to check out the article for the complete collection, here’s a sampling of what made the cut this year:
Rogue Monster Rhino Trainer: This heavy-duty rack combines powerlifting and cable training, making it perfect for building strength and adding versatility in limited gym spaces.
Freak Athlete Nordic Hyper Pro: Crush posterior chain training with Nordic Hyper Pro‚ 9 elite machines in 1 for back extensions, Nordic curls, belt squats, and more.
REP x PÉPIN Fast Series: Level up your training with REP x Pepin Fast Series—pro-style dumbbells that adjust in seconds, saving space without sacrificing serious strength.
Trainer’s Corner
Arnold’s Arm Workout
Ready to train like a legend? Dive into the arm-blasting routine that helped sculpt Arnold Schwarzenegger’s iconic physique—we're talking bulging biceps, monstrous triceps, and that unmistakable V-taper that defined the golden age of bodybuilding.
Inside, you'll find the exact exercises, volume, and training philosophy that powered the Austrian Oak’s upper-body domination. If you've been dreaming of filling out your sleeves like the king of muscle himself, this is your blueprint.
Whether you're a seasoned lifter or just starting your fitness journey, this intense workout will pump up your arms with the same intensity Arnold brought to every rep.
It's time to go full Terminator and NEVER look back.

Home Chef Coupon
Busy individuals often find it difficult to shop for healthy foods and prepare meals, especially when juggling work, family commitments, social outings, and more. That’s where meal delivery services like Home Chef can save the day (and valuable time).
While many companies ship pre-made meals that you simply need to reheat, this can be expensive. Home Chef is one of our favorite meal delivery services because, in addition to oven-ready pre-made meals, you can also order meal kits that you cook yourself. This allows you to save money and enjoy fresh meals without a trip to the grocery store.
Ordering meal delivery services can be expensive, which is why we’ve got you covered with the best Home Chef coupons, including our exclusive GGR discount that will allow you to claim up to 18 free meals and receive free shipping on your first box.
