I just got the bionicgym to work for me today. I got so frustrated with it the first time I tried placing the pads, I just put it back in the box. Then I tried again and couldn't get it to connect to the app, because I hadn't placed the wraps correctly, ugh!
So here I am today, writing this review with my bionicgym gym cranked up to 50.5 and it is really tightening up my muscles! I really couldn't feel much at 20 or so, so I wanted to really see what it could do and boy is it doing it! I'm not sweating, which is good, because I sweat all the time. I just want to tone my thighs and I think this may help!
Brandi L.
It is very jarring at first, but it absolutely helps keep my body in Keto mode longer.
Vanat S.
This has been the biggest WTF moment of my life! I couldn’t believe that a device like this could really increase my heart rate and make me sweat. I was skeptical, but I was also desperate for something to help get the weight off. I take a certain medication which increases my weight and no matter what I did I kept on gaining. So I splurged on this device. On the first day of using the device, I didn’t break a sweat but my heart rate went up to a consistent 135 b.p.m. On the seconds day, I increased the intensity and averaged 150 b.p.m. and began to sweat. When I calculated calories burned, it averaged to 1032 calories! Insane!!!! I’m so impressed and looking forward to the results!

Love my bionic gym! I’ve had it a month and my legs feel so much stronger!
Jaja A.
THE BIONIC GYM IS AMAZING! I HAD A KNEE REPLACEMENT SURGERY THROUGH THE VA THAT WENT HORRIBLY WRONG! LEFT ME A LITERAL CRIPPLE FOR OVER A YEAR. FINALLY GOT A REAL (PRIVATE) DOCTOR TO FIX THE BOTCHED SURGERY BUT BEING CRIPPLED FOR A YEAR LEFT ME WITH LOTS OF ATROPHY! BIONIC GYM BROUGHT MY THIGHS, HAM AND QUADS BACK WITHIN DAYS! WITHIN A WEEK I NO LONGER NEEDED A CANE (CRYING AT THIS POINT IN MY COMMENTS)! I AM SO GRATEFUL FOR THE BG! I FEEL YOU'VE SAVED MY LIFE! YOU'VE GIVEN THE QUALITY OF MY LIFE BACK TO ME! NOW I ACTUALLY WALK THE BLOCK WITH THE BIONIC GYM ON! THE EFFECT IS AS THOUGH I AM RUNNING (NOT GOGGING)! I SWEAT LIKE A HORSE AND AM LOSING POUNDS I GAINED DURING MY CRIPPLING STRUGGLE! THANK YOU SO VERY, VERY MUCH!!! MORAL TO MY STORY: "NEVER TRUST THE VA! AND THE BIONIC GYM WILL GIVE BACK WHAT THEY TAKE"!

In a month I have lost a little over 10lbs with Bionic Gym. I use it 4-5x a week. It’s so much easier than getting to the gym. Can’t wait to see my results in the months to come!!!
Francisco J. .
I have been looking for a physical exercise device that I could perform while I am sitting down since my daily life duties, some self imposed & some not self-imposed require that for me to be sedentary (sitting down) so when I found BionicGym on one of my online research activities, I had the impression that it would fulfill this need/"void" to stay healthy and take care of my responsibilities concurrently. I liked that Louis Crowe MD, inventor, founder & CEO of the BionicGYM company had performed a lot of research on it & that he facilitated the process of learning about it and how to use it with his helpful videos. I commenced (began) using on 01 NOV 2021 so around 5 weeks now & it is already yielding positive health benefits. I also like that the 24/7 Customer Services (CS) availability which I accessed during my first two weeks of using BionicGYM to iron out some of the APP kinks that I was not grasping on my own on how to solve them, the CS staff members were quite helpful.
Mike Y.
I've been using it to burn calories while I'm working. It has helped me, along with proper eating habits to lose 24lbs thus far!!!
Ryan W.
I edit videos most days, which means I sit most days ;) With Bionic Gym, I can edit AND burn calories at the same time! I love it.
Emma T.
I was skeptical about the BG. However,weighing the science,and positive testimonials vs the negative ones I decided to it try out. As one that actually works out I was surprised at the level, intensity and results I experienced. The ability to burn additional calories in a day is always a win win.
Richard B.
Love every thing about it however the battery pack controller does not always fit in the sleeve properly I have to take it out and put back in some times I have to wiggle it to get it to connect and one time it ran out of power in the middle of us wing it not sure why it did not have power as it charged over night
George F.
I'm really enjoying the ability to add cardio to my swimming on the off days, plus also avoiding going outside in the cold and having to deal with the weather to keep up my walking routine. Thanks BG. Really enjoying it.
Robert L.
Best $750 spent. I don't have a lot of room for exercise equipment. But with Bionicgym I am able to get a great cardio workout that was missing from my workouts. I have used it 31 times and I have lost 5 pounds without changing my diet. I will report back in a couple months with a update.
Sese W.
I got the Bionic Gym for covid and sitting in front of a computer all day life. I don’t have mobility issues, but in my first week of use I could’ve sworn I was moving around better/easier. I also was pretty sure I was breathing better. I feel good after using it, it’s certainly cardio! I’m happy with my purchase.
MARK C.
It works great, though it is more difficult to multitask on a computer while using the BionicGym, especially if you need fine mouse control! But watching a movie or whatnot is good!
Belinda C.
I am a 66 year and woman and have 7 years of poor exercise due to a knee injury. I’ve used the BionicGym nearly everyday since September 5th. Some days I only use it an hour but most days 2 hrs. I feel better and sleep better. I’ve lost a few inches overall. I’m sure after 2 full months I’ll see more inches lost. I’m very happy with the BionicGym
Imani M.
I bought this to help control my blood sugar a little over a month ago. Since using the BG, I have lost about 8lbs, but most importantly moved my blood sugar readings down 50-70 points. I use it in a lazy way, laying down, or sitting while working at my desk. I have not done much to my diet yet, because it was already pretty restricted, but I managed to lose a bit of weight. I use the Glucose Gobbler setting for about 4-6 hours a day; whenever I am sitting doing office work. The Bionic Gym is a serious game changer for me!
Anna B.
I am still in the beginner phase. Working on consistent use right now. But I do like it.
Carlos M.
It takes about two weeks to really get your heart pumping, but once it does you sweat lots and HR is up in the roof. I love using it while doing my sedentary work
Christopher B.
Still getting used to it. A bit cumbersome to get going, but after 2-3 times, its getting easier. Be good to have a device calibrated to the trainer that gives the user a calorie-burn read out. I'm using my Apple Watch set on the "Yoga" setting now and I'm not confident I'm getting an accurate read out.
Patrick L.
It works for sure! For me, I’m not trying to loose weight, but rather to slightly increase my heart rate more frequently. I’m renting a place that makes working out hard to do, and yeah, I’m also lazy! Takes a little bit to get used to, but while the cost is high, all the claims are accurate.
Jennifer S.
I am 5’2. The wraps don’t fit right. They are too long and the bottom piece goes over my knees. Because of that I don’t really like using them. I can move around as freely with them on.
Sara D.
I enjoy using the BionicGym. It has taken a bit of adjusting to the settings and the workouts. I am working my way up to higher intensities. This is definitely a great purchase!
Rick L.
I was very skeptical like many others but with recent injuries and severe health issues, I had to give it a try. After 10 days, I’m really starting to see some changes, regaining strength, able to walk short distances, breathing better when I do and noticing such a difference.
Give it a try, take it a step at a time and day at a time, but don’t give up and you’ll be a believer too. Thank you BionicGym
Elizabeth T.
Love it! First week in and could feel a difference and this being the second week and I can tell a difference! So excited to see the future results since seeing them so early!
John B.
I am 100% medically retired, Army disabled. I have been disabled for 30 years. My problems had brought me to the point that I couldn't do Cardio anymore. I was putting on weight, and feeling horrible. I heard about Bionic gym and decided to try it. I has helped me get me cardio in, and I am loosing weight. This means alot to me.
tabatha b.
It’s very simple and easy to use there is self-explanatory. I’ve had some great results using that with a keto diet. I haven’t used the last couple of weeks because I’ve been traveling but now that I’m back home I started back up again and It relaxes me.
Daniel H.
Bad customer service on messenger Facebook. Not always trying to answer my questions. Import taxes are too high and should be covered by the sender. All extras cost Should be part of the price and it’s too pricey for what’s it is. Gel pads should
Be more accessible for people out of the country. I am from Canada and will have to pay the price of the product, shipping and import taxes. It is very expensive and not appealing for customer.
Roger B.
I have very short leg span from knee to groin so cannot really have the gap between the knee and thigh pads.
Jeremy W.
Very good heart pounding sweaty workout
Daniel A.
This thing is pretty awesome. I was initially concerned that it would be a gimmick but this thing REALLY gets my heart rate going. The secret is to stand up and go about your chores with it on. You will be drenched in no time. It is like pulsing all your leg muscles simultaneously while you do your daily activities. The only reason I didn't give 5 stars was because the Velcro is already starting to rip. Other than that this is awesome.
Aleshia c.
It gives you a really great sweat! Good for the person that does not have a lot of time on their hands.
Gregory M.
I really like it.I like to get my heart rate up by having it going when I go walk the dogs. fit wise the strap spacing between the top and bottom strap is a little long but the stickiness of the pads keeps it in place. I am 5"11" And got the large. Maybe I should have got the small? It still works fine though.
Ann C.
It wont fit me. It needs a higher size.
Kristopher F.
Don't have it it was stolen by porch Pirate they opened the box left me a empty box with 1 small pieces of tape to hold together apparently I scared them when I opened my door & they fell on my irises bent most over hope they don't die
Deborah Karen D.
I’m glad I got this. I’m 66, and I don’t want my body to lock up. This makes my blood move around and keep me ‘lubricated’. Thanks!
Adam B.
Very satisfied and happy with the product
Houtan A.
It really works! I thought its a scam but I gave it a go and I'm not disappointed. I was at 258lbs now Im at 238lbs by using it off and on in a month. Honestly I haven't used it that much but since it restarted my metabolism, I'm losing more weight than ever. You'll 100% feel the workout, your legs will grow bigger and stronger as if you were running on a treadmill! It's incredible! I'm wearing them as I'm writing this review! Wish there were arms and abs bionicgym as well to work them out for muscle growth! :D
I use this when I'm watching tv or when I'm playing games!
This product is expensive but its worth every penny because you'll get to your desired weight! You'll lose the weight and keep it off forever EASY!
Michelle E.
I have had it for a few weeks now. Still looking for the results, I don't see any yet. But I think maybe I need some more time to use it. Will write another review again in a few weeks.
The only thing I would say that I don't like with it, is that it's hard to put on. That process could be made easier.
Matt M.
Great product, does what it advertisers, can be set to a more intense setting than I expected, really does make you work up a good sweat
Micaela D.
The plates are not eAsy to put on and it is a bit painful for me! I wish they were a bit easier to use
Karen G.
I continue to use it, but I am aware that I require more time to see better results.
Oscar A.
Really great, I really sweat
ruth m.
Great sleep afterwards
Bad Ass J.
I love the product and the convenience of it...
The only thing that I would suggest is that the company either make the pads last longer or provide a second set of them considering the price. I use the device 5-6 days a week and replace the liners to preserve the pads but they still don't have the same adhesiveness as they did, and its only been a month. Again I absolutely love the product and the convenience of it and would recommend it to anyone.
Derek D.
Extremely skeptical when I first saw it. Even more cautious when I saw the price, so combined my thoughts were was it for me? After receiving and using it for the first time, I burned over 500 calories in one 60 minute workout!!!! Product is ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! Highly recommend to folks who may have joint issues, busy schedules (like me) and want a quality workout.
Melissa F.
My legs feel great after a session & my joints feel much better as well. This is a great alternative to the toll that traditional exercise takes on the body. I'm looking forward to all of the workouts! The customer service is excellent - they're very responsive and invested in ensuring that everything is working as it should be.
Mary Anne C.
Sorry, have not actually used it because I was waiting for my new phone, printer etc. then it all had to be installed which is happening but not done. The city is kind of small and you just wait. Now as I begin to learn the phone I look forward,very much, to getting the Bionic Gym installed and working (and I really hope it is easy and I don’t have to find someone to do it for me). It took two years plus for the Gym to actually arrive )I was an Indiegogo backer)so have learned patience about this!
Marvin Z.
I was good using it until my lower back locked up so right now I am slowly getting back into it.
Debi L.
I just started using this regularly and I love it.
SueEllen L.
I love the Bionic Gym! I just have to remember to put it on each day.
Jay N.
My first kit arrived and after charging it.. it failed to work. The support team was great, went through all the trouble shooting and even sent out replacement wraps but that it help, so they sent out a replacement kit and it worked!... So, kudos to the support team for just sending out a replacement rather than frustrating the customer. Have been using it for about 1 and a half weeks... and loving it... a one hour session feels like a actual workout, including the sweats, haven't had one of those since a knee injury put my running on the shelf!
Thanks again
Dan J.
It works and helps to loosen me up.
Sally E.
Truly a game changer when it comes to fitness and burning calories while working from home! Thank you very much for this invention
Melissa P.
Love it I wish I had this for my booty and waist!! Legs are looking great!
Brandon M.
I used it for 4 solid weeks it really helped me get back into the swing of things. I was losing about 2-3 pounds per week without changing my diet. After the 3 weeks I was able to find the self confidence slowly started to workout again. Using the BionicGym mostly now on rainy days or days I’m to busy with work. I can’t say enough about good about this product it was great in building my confidence with my chronic medical issues.
Kelly T.
Had mine for two weeks and getting addicted to using it. Already seen my legs getting thinner. Love it !!
Judy J.
Has helped with my cellulite which is a bonus!
Daniel C.
My only complaint is the app. Without a smartphone and wifi BionicGym is useless. Load the workouts on the control unit so that it can be used regardless of having a smartphone and WiFi.
Jeanie B.
I have recently really started to use this device and so far I love it.
Konstantin Z.
Great tool! Use it every day. Lost 9 pounds over 1.5 months.
Marla G.
So.. I started March 11th at a weight of 225. It's April 22nd and I am down to 212.. I have made zero changes other than adding BG to my daily routine. I just literally wake up, have a quick cup of coffee and then put on my gear to do my "work out " which is basically me doing my normal housekeeping chores. I highly recommend this. There is a learning curve as you get accustomed to it but the Facebook group is super supportive
Karen S.
I've used my product about 2 dozen times and I'm still figuring it out, but I do like it and feel it's providing what was advertised. I'd like the app to be more dependable.
Beket C.
I love the BG. I clip my Fitbit to my ankle to track my cycling. I’m able to hit peak and stay there for sustained amounts of time, increasing my output for steps, heart and calories burned. Way less time too
Irina K.
Great option to keep myself fit despite of my foot trauma
Dan P.
Had my doubts but took the risk and very happy
Max B.
Since getting BG, and using nearly daily, twinkle toes and glucose gobbler, 2kg down, overall inch off everywhere, but most importantly can exercise while at my desk working from home, and have seen changes in body composition. It’s not a silver bullet, but excellent addition to doing some exercise, and a healthy diet. (I still eat chocolate, carbs, and drink wine!).
Will B.
Helpful and very convenient to work from home and workout at the same time.
Bjørn L.
I love it!!!
The last year has limited oppertunities for training quite a bit, and I have a neck prolapse that restrains me from visiting the dojo.
The Bionic Gym looked to be too good to be true, the science behind it did however ring true. Two months later I've shaken off about 7 kilo, and use it do deal with my increased blood sugar.
My heart is pumping, and sweat is running, I am amazed how good it works. And I can fit in 10+ hours of activity a week, while working.
Delivery took less than a week, and support has been most helpful for my newbie questions. My impression is that Bionic Gym seems genuinly interested in feedback, and working with their users.
Does it take time, yes. Does it require self-discipline, indeed. It is a magic bullet to a new and better life, no.
Would I buy it again, hell yeah! I can't wait to see results 6 months ahead. Would I recommend it to everyone, no. You need the commitment to yourself, otherwise this would most likely be yet another exercise tool on a shelf somewhere.
I still believe I'll be back running later this year, and right now my hope is fueled by Bionic Gym.
/Bjorn
KIM P.
It had been proven to be a shaking experience. With longer use hoping to see any results.
Ronald B.
Ich hatte am Anfang Probleme gehabt, erst mit der Lieferung, Fehler durch den packet dienst, mein packet ging zurück an BionicGym, der Support hat sofort ein ersatz geschickt, das ging auch zurück, ( packet Zentrum nicht verlassen) drittel mal nach einschalten der Geschäftsleitung der packet dienst, endlich mein gerät angekommen ! Nach anfangs Schwierigkeiten, ( Stecker nicht richtig eingedrückt! Funktioniert einwandfrei! Bin zufrieden! Es tritt bei mir kein schwitzen auf! Aber bin eigentlich topfit! Und ein Bmi von 22,5 , bin 63 Jahre alt. Und zufrieden mit BionicGym!
Luis E.
I love the fact it was delivered on time but I haven't used it yet.
Tia S.
I love being able to keep my hear rate up and still stay productive behind the computer or working around the house. Multitasking is the best!!
Andreas P.
You can feel the actual contraction of the muscles but only if you attach the pads on the exact spots, which is actually the only drawback of this, but in general is very good. Some issues also with the Bluetooth connection with mobile which very often is lost after every new session.
Heidi S.
Really each to use with great results ... after sales support is also great for any queries
CHRISTOPHER B.
I really enjoy using the BionicGym. Really gets a good sweat going for sure!!
Mohamed A.
Everything is working as expected. The product is awesome and I didn't have any issue using it at all. The only extra step I do with Bionicgym is performing small workouts/exercises to speed up my heart rate so that I burn needed calories in a short interval and keep some time for other workouts
Tala S.
It’s great! Really works
Chad J.
This is a great device. I use it on a daily basis, and I've seen phenomenal results from the product.
ALVIN W.
you will really sweat using this! no bluff!
john N.
Best exercise equipment I have ever bought. The only one I have stuck with. It really works!
Dhuruvan V.
It works! Definitely takes some getting used to.
Garrett H.
The product really does make you feel like you're out for a run. It takes a few sessions you figure out what you can handle but the more you push the better you feel after use.
Richard L.
I'm 66 years old and haven't felt better in years. Love the BionicGym!!
Greg B.
I purchased this with a bit of uncertainty, both of whether it would work and how it might feel. The product is quite well made, and fits well. The videos for set up and connection were clear. I've moved into the Pro and HIIT programs, and particularly like the latter. It is clearly working as it raises my resting heart rate from around 60bpm to 100bpm, and my body sweat and feel quite warm which proves an increase in metabolic base rate. I wish there was a way to gauge actual calories. This makes watching evening TV into something that elevates metabolic rate rather than falling asleep in the chair to have energy use plummet. I find it reasonably comfortable but at higher pulse intensity it does take a bit of getting used to. I've used it every night for nearly a month, and I have to say that I'm impressed enough to have already purchased a set of replacement pads.
Nancy A.
I’ve never been blown away enough to leave an unsolicited review for anything in my life.
Just WOW. It works! No change in diet - just 1-2 hours a day and I’ve lost 30 lbs in 3 months. I love ❤️ BionicGym!
Stephen S.
I got your first wraps there was an issue. Great customer service. I was sent new wraps. This thing works like a champ. Thank You so much!!
Alberto C.
how do you go to the pro??
Tressa K.
I am so thankful, so grateful, for the Bionic Gym. I'm down 30 pounds of fat!
This is weight I put on over 10 years ago with two pregnancies.
I've tried meal replacement shakes and exercising at home with DVD's but I never got results.
Bionic Gym has changed my life, and my family's life as a result.
I'm continuing my journey with a goal to lose another 30 pounds and I know it's achievable now.
And it's fun! I use it six days a week and look forward to it. I get an endorphin rush.
Bionic Gym is truly the best investment I have ever made in myself.
In addition to the weight loss, I've noticed other effects (46 yo female)
I have no cellulite on my legs anymore.
My menstrual cycle has improved tremendously.
I have no junk food or sugar cravings. I don't look for junk at 3 PM like I have always done. It's available, but I'm not tempted by it at any time of the day.
My overall mood has improved.
My resting heart rate is so low, my nurse practitioner asked if I was taking medication to lower it.
I can run a mile without being exhausted.
You've changed my life.
Thank you from the US!
Burba D.
Background: Engineer
Ironically when Covid hit, I took it as an opportunity to get healthy not just avoid getting sick. I travel quite a bit, and so diet historically wasn't one of my strong suites. I've gone from 265lbs to 175lbs thus far. From 47% fat to 21% fat content. It isn't all from BionicGym, it's also from a strict healthy Vegan diet because my wife is the bomb (thanks Brightness!) and supplement regimen as well, however the addition of "easy cardio" is a game changer from a workflow and habit perspective. I'm not saying you can do this while Zooming on conference calls, because you can't. You'll be sweaty and out of breath if you're doing it right. But email/normal computer activities are no problem. I do recommend getting a standing/mobile capable desk. You'll thank me later.
This isn't a perfect system yet, there's lots of room for improvement, but the principles are sound, and I can tell you from personal experience (no second hand stories regurgitated to you as my own), that it does exactly what it's supposed to do, which is make your heart rate climb. It does it in a controlled, predictable, and repeatable way.
Wishlist from BionicGym Product Development Team:
1) Lose the velcro, go for a ribbed magnetic structure using overlapping interlocks to stabilize the "pull" from the bands breaking away during a workout. Nothing feels cheap like velcro...everybody remembers that nylon wallet you had when you were seven that was loud enough the entire store knew you were getting your money out...this is quality engineering, and a premium price. Live up to it in your finished product.
2) I'd like to see a reservoir system that can be "wicked" easily with squirt bottle. There's lots of materials that are suited for this, heck merino wool is comfortable, has moisture wicking, is antimicrobial, and if you wet it it's conductive. That loses the need for gel pads and the sticky mess. I'm sure your development guys can call some material science experts and find a material optimally suited for longevity, antimicrobial characteristics, comfort, and conductivity requirements that isn't a sticky mess of a gel pad. If you want to continue to sell "pads" I'm fine with that, but bring us something quality and elegant in its design. Sometimes you're working out while doing BionicGym and you want a sleeve that's a little more "grippy". Sometimes I'm standing at my desk reading email and all I want is the extra heart rate and caloric burn and I want to be comfortable. There's ways to do this elegantly that doesn't eliminate your return consumable business income streams.
3) Gimme the data! You guys have to have done studies on caloric burn specifically for this exercise regimen, we need more integration into the app ecosystem. I would like HealthKit integration so my workout is a BionicGym workout rather than a "indoor cycling" workout...which seems to be the most accurate algorithm I've found thus far. Since you can essentially have a bio feedback loop with Apple Watch integration this ecosystem would be super powerful. I would like to be able to mine the data and show direct correlation between difference workouts (waveforms) and different caloric burn rates at different amplitude levels on the BionicGym. Having this data would allow you to intelligently create your desired "BioniMix". See point #8
4) Replaceable battery- I love this thing, I use it every single day, the battery needs to be replaceable for longevities sake for a piece of equipment in this price range.
5) Lose the link cable - It seems to always find a way to pull and tug and pull itself out, which stops the workout, which makes me resync...etc... I want to enjoy my workouts, not have to troubleshoot them. I'd rather have two smaller battery holders (which accept rechargeable and replaceable batteries) and have the dock for the battery/controller/holder on both legs. Also Have you guys done any test fitting for the dock/controller being on the outside of the thigh rather than the inside? I understand that there may be difficulties here for timing synchronization, but I think that they can be overcome with a basic clock at the resolution needed for these waveforms.
6) Since the leg bands are now going to be magnetically enabled :) You can also utilize this for fashion "sleeves" to attach and change it up a bit. Sometimes a little variety looking back at you in the mirror while you're sweating to death is a good thing that makes the workout more enjoyable.
7) Onboard storage - The download procedure is...irritating and unnecessary. Throw a small flash chip in there and write the wave forms, from what I can tell it's almost all reads anyway, so flash chip longevity shouldn't be an issue.
8) Scheduler - build a scheduler into the app so we can create "mixes" of different workouts at different intervals following different amplitude curves along the timeline. This would improve heart rate variability within workouts and make HIIT more effective. This in combination with the biofeedback mechanism would create a dataset that you could create into a community where workouts and experiences were shared from an anonymized perspective to help gain insight from other's workout journeys instead of relying on only our own experiences. This also creates a market for the best wave form creators and mixers from a membership or micro transaction perspective.

It is very helpful or blood circulation. The design of the pads can be improved to have a cable between the upper bad and the lower one in each leg. This will help in adjusting the location easier.
