Had an isokinator 2 years, it’s not cheap, so represents an investment piece of equipment, but you get what you pay for and the construction and materials are so good, certainly in comparison to some very “plasticky” alternatives, then i believe this is a very good purchase. 20 year warrenty shows the manufacturer Koebel have real faith in their product. I understand Koebel invented the bull worker so they know what they’re doing and have been decades.
Ultimately do you get good results/visible benefits?
Yes, with good technique and a consistent approach your strength and physique will significantly improve. People comment that products such as this do not prove to be as effective as a proper pro gym. Of course not, that’s not what it’s designed for, it’s a home workout that’s very space efficient and with a good protein/veg diet you do get good results in a very convenient and time efficient manner, which is exactly what busy people need. Upper body and core gains are excellent, legs not so much, but go for a run or do lots of squats and you’ll cover that one off. I consider it a better purchase than others, I’ve had a trx, bull worker and resistance bands and sets of free weights, but for me this provides better results as it was quicker, and i worked out in a far more convenient manner. This was because I was able to work to failure whilst maintaining good form, which I struggled with other products. The supplementary info pack does a very basic job, and this product is not really reviewed very much online and Koebel seem to spend nothing on promotion or advertising in any way relying solely on word of mouth, but it’s nice to think that well made products promote themselves and I do believe this one does.
One recommendation is that if you buy it do watch the instruction videos on YouTube rather than just looking at the exercise chart, because whilst they are very old vids they do illustrate for you the correct technique to help get the max result. Each video is only 1 minute long, but they are helpful. They recommend 7 different exercises each repeated 10 times for 3 sets. Personally I found that you needed to do 11 different exercises 10 reps 3 sets to cover off all the body. I trained every other day, and just did stretching on non training days. Each session took me about 30 mins, all done in front of a mirror to check for form. I never got a strain or injury doing the exercises which at 53 years old was important because it meant I could keep with consistent training and not need to rest to repair an injury. That simple fact really sped up the process of making gains. Alongside a few runs (maybe twice a week) and no sugar/junk foods and I felt much much stronger and far healthier.
So for me a definite yes, I understand if others find other tools for the job better, I hope you get what you need from your kit, , but ultimately from my experience it’s just what worked for me. Best advise when buying something to get fit and strong, don’t look at the latest newest shiniest kit on the market, look only at equipment that’s been around a long time, because it’s tried and tested and it’s longevity shows it’s suitability and effectiveness. Just a point of view, hope you find the kit you need to help make you the person you want to be. Thank you
