🏋️ We found the 8 best treadmills for running
Welcome to Home Gym Club! When we’re testing the latest cold plunge tubs, we can’t help but think about polar bears and penguins. Did you know that 50 million-year-old fossils of six-foot, 350-pound penguins were found in New Zealand? We bet they could lift some serious weight.
What’s in today’s newsletter:
Our team narrowed down the 8 best treadmills for running.
Coop put the Bolt Fitness Valkyrie Multi-Flight to the test.
We tried out the Legion Pulse Pre-Workout.
We asked a certified personal trainer to put together the ultimate wall ball workout.

What’s Supp?
Legion Pulse Pre-Workout Review
Legion Pulse is a gluten-free, vegetarian pre-workout supplement with 100% nature-based ingredients, meaning every ingredient is sourced from plants and animals, according to the company. It’s designed to give you an energy boost, support increased strength, and cut down on fatigue with its clinically effective doses of key ingredients like l-citrulline dl-malate, caffeine anhydrous, and beta-alanine.
Sounds great! But how does it stack up to our custom supplement testing methodology and at $2.25 per serving, is it worth the expense? Find out by reading our full Legion Pulse review.

Wall Ball Workout
Wall balls can seem wild to those who don’t do CrossFit. You line up facing a wall, hurl a heavy medicine ball into the air, watch it bounce off the wall, and come careening down to Earth only to catch it in a squat and thrust it upward again—for reps!
It’s a strange movement, but there’s a reason they’re heavily programmed in CrossFit boxes worldwide: they’re wildly effective. Launching that medicine ball sky high takes strength, coordination, and cardio conditioning, so wall balls are naturally an excellent exercise if you’re looking to up your game.
Kate Meier, NASM-CPT, USAW-L1, CF-L1, and GGR director of content, shares everything you need to know about wall balls, including how to do them, sample wall ball workouts, alternatives, benefits, and more!
