The Cold Pod Review

Cold therapy and cold exposure are buzzy topics you’ve likely come across while scrolling through social media or listening to podcasts. And cold plunge tubs for the home are making a splash in the workout recovery market.

To help those who are curious about cold plunging — or the potential health benefits of cold water therapy — but don’t want to spend thousands of dollars, we tested The Cold Pod to see if this affordable cold plunge tub is worth it. We’ll let you know who it’s best suited for and dive into the details in our Cold Pod review.

What Is Quadrobics?

Sport, social media fad, or something in between? Coming up with a clear answer to “What is quadrobics?” can be just as complicated as some of the movements associated with the latest #fyp workout trend taking over TikTok.

While quadrobics may seem strange at first glance, it would be foolish to dismiss it as simply another fitness trend with no scientific legs to stand on.

We asked a certified personal trainer (and competitive rugby player) for his take on the trend. From exploring its origins to examining some of its potential benefits, this guide covers everything you need to know about the unconventional world of #quadrobics. So, with an open mind, both hands, and both feet, let’s dive in.

Assault Rower Pro Review

You may have heard of the AssaultBike or the AssaultRunner — newer to the scene is the AssaultRower, specifically the AssaultRower Pro. This air flywheel rowing machine is, yes, made by the same company that makes the air bike that CrossFitters love to hate: Assault Fitness.

Our product tester, Lindsay Scheele of Garage Gym Review Everything, judged the AssaultRower Pro against an 11-point methodology that our fitness experts developed for rowing machines.

She analyzed factors such as: 

• On-board training programs

• Compatible fitness apps and devices

• Construction and durability

• Comfort and ergonomics

• Ease of operation

• Transportation and portability

• Tech capabilities

Here’s what she found!
