A big advantage of the Gymbars Pro over dumbbells or even the gym is that Robus Athletics also provides an app for bluetooth and height grips that allows you to track your workout in detail, such as the number of reps, how high you lift the grip or what resistance band you used. The app also includes an AI-based personal trainer that uses our data to create a fully personalised training programme for us, ensuring optimal progress.

The GymBars Pro consists of a sensor-equipped smart grip and connectable rubber bands and offers users a scalable home workout: the four bands of different thicknesses range in spring force from 6.8 to 79.4 kilograms, and the combination of bands can reach up to 120 kilograms of resistance, making it a long-term challenge for people of all physical abilities. According to the Estonian company, the GymBars Pro can be used for more than 100 different workouts, making it a complete replacement for dumbbells and cable machines.

This solution has several advantages: the GymBars Pro takes up very little space in the home, and the handles, which are modelled on traditional dumbbells, weigh just under a kilogram each, so they’re easy to take anywhere. Another positive thing about the rubber bands is that, unlike traditional dumbbells, they work your muscles gradually as you stretch them, so you need to exert more and more force.
