Best Fitness Workout Equipment For Your Compact, Space-Saving Home Gym

Time Under Tension (TUT): Not so long ago, a true gym-level weight workout required purchasing hundreds of pounds of weights, often in addition to benches or large multi-station stacks that run into the four figures. Not anymore, thanks to TUTFitness, with TUT standing for “Time Under Tension.”

The TUT Trainer Tower takes stretchy resistance bands and reinvents them - their new patented stackable system for combining bands claims to be an industry first, and these stackable resistance band plates allow you to change the weight load in 5,10, 20 and 40 pound increments up to 200 pounds, while offering a full array of around 250 exercises for every part of the body and muscle group body in a slim, light platform. Because resistance bands are constantly pulling back, or “under tension,” you get functional strength training that changes the resistance load throughout the entire range of motion without added pressure on joints and tendons and less room for injury.

TUT has a few products, but the Training Tower takes the place of an extensive weight setup in a single vertical bar that weighs less than 12 pounds, attaches easily to almost any wall or door frame, can be easily removed and stored or relocated, and unlike many other newer pieces of gear, requires no power and can be located anywhere without messy cords. It also offers an app with class videos, and unlike many higher-tech offerings on the market, requires no recurring monthly fee once you buy it. At $795 it is a bargain in terms of both price and space efficiency, and it is hard to get more strength training bang for the buck. There is also a highly portable TUT rower ($595) that can be combined with the tower for a substantial discount ($1195).
