NOVA Gym - Full Body Portable Gym: Home, Office or Travel - NASA SpiraFlex Resistance Technology

This is the second nova gym that I have purchased and while I do love the product, the band packs break fairly quickly. The company used to supply replacements but they are now bankrupt and will not answer emails. Please be aware because once the flex packs break, there is no support From the company. Very frustrating and disappointed.

I'm a gym rat who does a lot of driving for work and was hoping for something that would let me get some resistance reps in during downtime. It's a very nifty idea and delivers on the promise of linear resistance but the design is far from perfect. The cables don't extend out far enough for the full ROM for the lateral deltoid exercises for me with a reach of 78". Some basic exercises like curls and tricep extensions feel awkward and don't work smoothly through the full range of motion. It suits my purpose, that being easily portable access to resistance exercises to keep the guns from rusting when long days at a sedentary job makes going to the gym tough. But it would be difficult for me to imagine a regular guy using this to get jacked/athletic.

Thr flex packs stuck to the unit pretty much the next day I started using it. This wasn't a big deal for me as I would just carry it with me infolded. However, after a few months of occasional use, the plastic bits that held the flex packs broke off and I can longer use the unit. I tried searching around for how to replace it with the 3 year warranty but couldn't find anything.

I bought mine new but it arrived in a plastic bag, no instructions or box, the parts were very used, and the unit was wrapped in cheap twine. Oh well. I tried the on some exercises and it seemed to work ok for that. The handles didn't want to fully retract sometimes though. The body is made of plastic and felt a little flimsy for the money. I sent it back because I bought a new one but was sent a beat up used one.

Ok
