  • Fat Gripz - Home Fitness Equipment
    Fat Gripz

    Thick bars spread the weight over a larger area of the hand. Trainers credit this with making training safer and less likely to cause injury. They also make the forearms extensors and flexors work more evenly which can help avoids imbalances, weaknesses and injury.

    Plus, thicker handles stimulate much more muscle activation in the hands and arms. More muscle activation means much bigger muscle and strength gains.

    And with Amazon, you're gonna get a great price and quick shipping!

Testimonials

  • I’m new to these weight loss challenges. I am good at starting diets but always lose my motivation. Jenny was great. Always checking in, giving support and posting inspiration. When I struggled she was understanding and encouraged me not to give up even though I did not lose as much weight as I wanted.  She is such a great role model – someone who is not only a coach but in the trenches herself fighting to get healthier. I would like to do another challenge with her in the future.
