The two main pieces that are involved in every workout are the two resistance bands\u2014one for your left hand or foot, and one for your right hand or foot. The resistance bands each come with a carabiner, a pulley, a resistance adjuster, a smart sensor, a power button, a Type-C charging port, and a built-in speaker. Then, only one resistance band comes with a display.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the two resistance bands, you\u2019ll receive two hand grips, two wristbands, two ankle bands, a door anchor, an object anchor, and a charging cable (but no power brick). The hand grips work as handles to hold while performing exercises, or an exercise may have you attach the wrist or ankle bands instead.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-136190\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/11\/f2ce550d.jpg\" alt=\"Wegym Rally X3 Pro open box showing straps, handles, and other accessories\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Sarah Chaney \/ Review Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The door anchor is essentially a strap with a cushion on the end that you place on the other side of the door before closing it. WeGym also includes a Do Not Disturb warning card for your door handle so no one bursts in while you\u2019re working out and makes your resistance bands go flying. The object anchor is just a strap that lets you create an anchor out of practically anything in your home, as long as it\u2019s heavy enough to pull on and thin enough to wrap the strap around.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Setup_You_Can_Start_Working_Out_in_Minutes\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_1\">The Setup: You Can Start Working Out in Minutes<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-137656\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/11\/6406c382.jpg\" alt=\"wegym system hanging on a door\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Sarah Chaney \/ Review Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>In theory, the setup is incredibly easy. You take everything out of the box, and there\u2019s no real \u201cassembly\u201d involved. All of the included pieces connect together with a carabiner and securing a resistance band to either the object anchor or the door anchor takes mere seconds. Then, you download the app, turn on your Rally X3 Pro bands, and pair them to the app via Bluetooth. Sounds easy, right?<\/p>\n<p>Well, if the app and the equipment were intuitive to use, yes. The included instruction manual isn\u2019t detailed enough, leaving you to learn a lot on your own, especially if you\u2019re completely new to using resistance bands. I paired the bands with the app and set up all the equipment with no issues. But there were multiple questions that popped up throughout the rest of the process and I couldn\u2019t find the answers in the manual or on the website.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-136666\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/11\/86126bc2.jpg\" alt=\"Wegym Rally X3 Pro smart resistance bands LCD screen showing menu\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Sarah Chaney \/ Review Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>For example, I had to go through a trial and error process to figure out why one band wasn\u2019t registering my pulls despite pulling the same distance on both the left and right bands. Turns out, you have to press a power button on both bands and not just the one with the display. Even when I did this, there were still a few times that one band just didn\u2019t seem to register as many pulls as the other band, and I couldn\u2019t figure out why.<\/p>\n<p>I had similar issues with turning off the bands (they\u2019re supposed to turn off automatically after 15 minutes, but didn\u2019t always), moving the resistance adjuster and understanding how much it increased by, and changing the language on the screen back to English after it somehow switched to Chinese.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-136652\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/11\/5a6e4d2e.jpg\" alt=\"Wegym Rally X3 Pro door anchor, object anchor, and charging cable sitting on included accessories bag\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Sarah Chaney \/ Review Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Then, figuring out where in your home you can put the anchors on a regular basis is key to the setup process. Otherwise, you\u2019ll be ready to work out and have no idea which door you can use or where you can affix the object anchor strap for a low anchor exercise. The door I was using initially worked great for high and middle anchor exercises, but the gap under the door kept allowing the door anchor to slip through, so I ended up wrapping the object anchor around the bottom of my bed frame.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_App_It_Doesnt_Feel_Fleshed_Out\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_2\">The App: It Doesn\u2019t Feel Fleshed Out<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The WeGym app (<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=osl.wegym.app\">Android<\/a>\/<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/apps.apple.com\/us\/app\/wegym-formerly-wegym-training\/id1564012042?at=1010l392g&amp;ct=rg136128\">iOS<\/a>) could use quite a bit of work. But before getting into what could be better, I want to praise the app for being completely free and not requiring any sort of subscription to access all of the app\u2019s contents.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s easy to navigate the app, but there\u2019s so much missed potential here. When you first download the app, it\u2019ll have you enter your information\u2014weight, height, how many times you workout per week, and your preferred days to workout\u2014and then create a customized plan for you.<\/p>\n<p>My plan consisted of Base Courses one through four, which were super short and meant to be introductory, but I could only do one per day. After I finished the first Base Course, the other three were locked. Later the next day, I opened the app, went to my plan, and saw that the second Base Course had a green \u201cLet\u2019s go!\u201d symbol below it. The third and fourth courses were still locked. I could do other workouts in the app, but I couldn\u2019t start the next course in my plan until the next day.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-136664\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/11\/eabfb368.jpg\" alt=\"Wegym Rally X3 Pro adjustable resistance band sitting on wooden table\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Sarah Chaney \/ Review Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There\u2019s not a lot going on in the app\u2019s settings, either. You can change your password, use the Equipment tab to see the status of a paired device or add a new one, and clear the app\u2019s cache. The Equipment Usage tab automatically starts playing an unboxing video for the Rally X\u2014not the Rally X3 Pro, which is what I have\u2014and the Help &amp; Feedback tab only lets you send a quick message to WeGym, but doesn\u2019t contain any FAQs.<\/p>\n<p>There are customizable settings that the app doesn\u2019t currently have, but it should. You can\u2019t adjust the app\u2019s volume, silence the voice giving instructions, or customize the waiting period between workout steps. You also can\u2019t cast to a TV directly through the app, which stands out because most workout apps have this ability.<\/p>\n<p>Plus, there\u2019s a <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=jFWQT5m_aWQ\">video on WeGym\u2019s YouTube channel<\/a> that shows a workout moving from an Android smartphone to a TV.

However, the overall workout experience left something to be desired\u2014at least, with a large portion of the workouts available through the app.<\/p>\n<p>When you\u2019re searching the app for a workout, you\u2019ll see two different backgrounds in the workout thumbnail. There are thumbnails that show a brick background, and these have been filmed in real-time with a trainer doing absolutely everything with you\u2014personally, I prefer these. Then, there are thumbnails that show a white background, and these workouts have an entirely different format that I\u2019m not a fan of.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-136189\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/11\/6f02a882.jpg\" alt=\"Wegym Rally X3 Pro box sitting on wood surface\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Sarah Chaney \/ Review Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Opening a workout with a white background reveals all sorts of information that appears helpful, but it\u2019s actually kind of confusing. You\u2019ll see the workout\u2019s estimated time, which location of your body is targeted, the anchor positions you\u2019ll need throughout, which specific equipment you\u2019ll need, and an overview of the workout content. Typically, the workout content is broken down into moves for the Warm Up, Training, and Stretch, and each section has a number of sets next to it.<\/p>\n<p>This all sounds great on paper, but it doesn\u2019t accurately translate. For example, one workout says that the Warm Up has five sets, Training has five sets, and Stretch has seven sets. To me, five sets implies that you\u2019ll do all the moves listed for that section in a set for five times. I think the app is using sets to describe the number of unique moves in that section, but this doesn\u2019t give you any indication for how many minutes the workout will truly take or how many times you\u2019ll repeat certain moves.<\/p>\n<p>On top of that, the workouts with a white background are structured so that every 30-second move is its own step, and it\u2019s announced every single time. The example workout I referenced above has a total of 32 steps\u2014which includes moves from the Warm Up, Training, and Stretch sections\u2014and each step is announced with \u201cNext Exercise is\u201d and then the title of the move. Before the move starts, you\u2019ll also hear \u201c3, 2, 1. Go!\u201d Every. Single. Time.<\/p>\n<p>Then, instead of hearing all instructions for the move at the beginning, you\u2019ll sometimes hear random instructional snippets throughout the move, even when the timer is almost up. That, combined with the high-pitched steady beeping every second and having to manually skip breaks, makes me not want to do any workout with a white background. Some breaks are good, but not a 20-second break after every single 30-second move.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-136667\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/11\/a0a2fa8f.jpg\" alt=\"Wegym Rally X3 Pro smart resistance band USB-C charging port\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Sarah Chaney \/ Review Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>I can understand how some people, especially beginners, might like some of these features to help them keep count, remember the title of a workout move, and give ample break time to catch their breath. I only wish that it was an option within the app\u2019s settings to turn these features off if you want to play music instead of hearing high-pitched beeping and the text-to-speech speaker, or don\u2019t want as many breaks in between workout moves.<\/p>\n<p>After every workout, you\u2019ll see an overall evaluation score that\u2019s made up of your scores for Speed, Rhythm, Relax, Stable, and Peak. Each of these five workout metrics gives an in-app description and tips for how to improve if your score is lower than you\u2019d like. Then, you can also see how many times you engaged the Left Band and the Right Band, your max and average resistance weight, and estimated calories burned.<\/p>\n<p>There were a few times I noticed one of my bands wasn\u2019t accurately counting even though I was pulling both of them equally and both were turned on. After trying to find an answer online, I came up with nothing. Then, one of my first workouts estimated that I burned one calorie and I\u2019m 99% sure I burned way more than that. It\u2019d be nice to see some sort of FAQ section on the WeGym website that\u2019s specifically related to the app.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Health_Improvement\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_4\">Health Improvement<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>This section is something I haven\u2019t seen a lot of in the world of workouts, and I\u2019ve tested other systems\u2014like <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/95790\/liteboxer-review-work-up-a-sweat-with-this-full-body-workout\/\">Liteboxer, FightCamp, and Liteboxer VR\u2014as well as tried out my fair share of YouTube workout channels. In the Health Improvement section, there are workouts that specifically target the bad posture habits we\u2019ve adopted in recent years, like rounded shoulders or too many internal movements from typing on our smartphones or keyboards.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Core\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_5\">Core<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Anyone who\u2019s ever worked out before knows that Core workouts largely target the abs. The WeGym app clarifies that exercises in this section train the muscles in your abdomen, pelvis, lower back, and hips to work in harmony. So although you\u2019re likely going to have sore abs after a Core workout, it\u2019s nice to know which other areas you\u2019re targeting as well. Exercising your core leads to better balance and stability throughout your day, whether you\u2019re playing a soccer game or doing laundry.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shaping\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_6\">Shaping<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Whereas the Strength section focuses on building muscle, the Shaping section works to tone the muscles you already have. The app explains that body shape training can increase your basal metabolic rate, helping you burn more calories and reduce fat. Shaping workouts can also help improve your body\u2019s coordination and balance, relieve tension, and improve stress resistance.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Strength\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_7\">Strength<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The workouts in this section focus on strength training within all areas of the body. After opening the Strength section, WeGym gives a brief explainer on how exactly strength training can help you. The app explains that these types of workouts can increase strength and toughness in your bones, muscles, tendons, and ligaments, as well as improve joint function, metabolism, and heart function.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Free_Style\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_8\">Free Style<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Free Style is a great way to workout if you\u2019re not really feeling like following someone else\u2019s workout and you just want to jam out to your own music. You can still turn on the bands and connect to the app via Bluetooth to get all your workout data, but you don\u2019t have to choose a workout through the app. When you select the Free Style tab in the app, it takes you to a screen where you can customize three aspects of your workout: Times, Intensity, and Duration.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"width: 1920px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-136665\" data-pagespeed-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.reviewgeek.com\/p\/uploads\/2022\/11\/432fe68b.jpg\" alt=\"Wegym Rally X3 Pro smart resistance band lcd screen sitting on table\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"\/pagespeed_static\/1.JiBnMqyl6S.gif\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\"><span class=\"imagecredit\">Sarah Chaney \/ Review Geek<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>There\u2019s no clear explanation\u2014in the app or on the website\u2014for what exactly Times, Intensity, or Duration means, but here\u2019s my best guess. Times appears to be the number of times you want to pull each resistance band, and the workout stops after you\u2019ve reached the number you put in. Duration is the number of minutes you want to workout, and acts as a timer that stops your workout once you\u2019ve reached your number. I have no clue what Intensity is for.<\/p>\n<p>The max number you can type in Times, Intensity, and Duration is 9,999. No matter what number I put in for Intensity, the Free Style workout didn\u2019t change. No extra effort was required to count a pull, and the only real way to change intensity is to physically move the resistance adjuster on the band. I also tested starting a Free Style workout with everything at zero, so if you don\u2019t want to put any numbers in for Times, Intensity, or Duration, you can.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Verdict_A_Great_Full-Body_Workout_Option\"><\/span><a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" name=\"autotoc_anchor_9\">Verdict: A Great Full-Body Workout Option<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>I loved working out with WeGym\u2019s Rally X3 Pro Smart Bands, but I didn\u2019t enjoy every workout option available to me in the app. It\u2019s fantastic that you can target specific areas or get a full-body workout, vary the level of resistance as you get stronger, and take it with you to work out literally anywhere. Even if you can\u2019t attach the door anchor or the object anchor anywhere, you can use your own body as resistance with the bands stretched between your ankles and wrists.<\/p>\n<p>All the workouts in the app are free and there\u2019s so much variation, but only some of the workouts were palatable for me. A workout with constant beeping, out-of-place instructions, and long breaks you have to manually skip just isn\u2019t it for me. That said, I think there are enough great workouts in the app\u2014the ones filmed in front of a brick background\u2014to make it a worthy investment.<\/p>\n<div class=\"single-review-card border\">\n<div class=\"review-card-heading\">\nRating: <strong>8\/10<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Price: <strong>$249.99<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"review-card-body\">\n<div class=\"text\">\n<div class=\"pros\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Heres_What_We_Like-2\"><\/span>Here\u2019s What We Like<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Adjustable resistance<\/li>\n<li>Has both full-body and targeted workouts<\/li>\n<li>Easy to travel with<\/li>\n<li>Long battery life<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"cons\">\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"And_What_We_Dont-2\"><\/span>And What We Don&#8217;t<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Can\u2019t directly cast workout videos to a TV<\/li>\n<li>Can\u2019t customize volume and sound settings in the app<\/li>\n<li>Calorie tracking isn\u2019t super accurate<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><script>\nsetTimeout(function(){\n  !function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s)\n  {if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\n  n.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};\n  if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;n.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';\n  n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\n  t.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n  s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window, document,'script',\n  'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '1137093656460433');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n  },3000);\n<\/script><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\">If you liked the article, do not forget to share it with your friends.
