Fitness-Mad Strong Grip Hand Exerciser Soft Pink

Fitness-Mad Strong Grip Hand Exerciser Soft Pink Review



I have the medium strength version. It is light-weight and semi-translucent with a softly textured matt surface. It measures approximately 6 x 4cm and is the same size as a large chicken egg. Fits comfortably in the palm with the narrow part pointing in the same direction as the thumb. Gripping the whole egg with the arm in a right-angle to v-shaped position gently exercises the wrist, forearm, and biceps. Each finger can also be exercised by pressing the egg between the thumb and 1 finger. Great to warm up the hands and I also use it occasionally during a quick break from computer work. Convenient washable design, so I will be ordering an additional one for the office.



Fitness-Mad Strong Grip Hand Exerciser Soft Pink Feature


  • Modern solution for strengthening wrists, hands, forearms and fingers

Hand Exercisor - hiker -
Works well easy to use whilst walking and egg shape allows you to vary the grip and pressure by rolling in hand.
rapid delivery and does what it says on the box



Almost worth 5 stars... - SupremeDalek -
This is great...the material is really pliable so you can really work your wrist/hand etc. Only problem with it is the egg shape which is too small for my hand (to be fair, only by a little). Add some rubber bands around your finger tips to exercise the wrist extension (i.e. opposite motion to the gripper) and you'll rehab an injury in no time!



Unusual shape but great worker - Mr. S. Baer -
The eggs do exactly what I'd hoped they would. They seem to be far more effective for building the wrists and forearms, than most other products of same price range.

Gripmaster Finger Excerciser, Heavy Tension (Black)

Gripmaster Finger Excerciser, Heavy Tension (Black) Review



The `Gripmaster Finger Exerciser' is an excellent piece of equipment that can help a wide range of problems, as well as helping with finger strength in general. This is ergonomically designed so it fits into your hand easily and I have found it doesn't slip or move around, like cheaper copies I have seen. This uses springs for tension and comes in a range of different strengths. I recommend you start off light and build up, I went for the red (medium) grip at first and although it is useable, it was hard work. This comes with a small booklet describing various exercises you can do and after using this for just a few minutes each day you will quickly see results. This is great for accident rehabilitation, climbers, musicians and a whole other range of activities where finger strength is a must. If you like this I also highly recommend a Powerball which is fantastic for wrist and forearm strength and which is addictive to use. All in all, this is a simple but effective piece of exercise equipment.



Gripmaster Finger Excerciser, Heavy Tension (Black) Feature


  • Exercises each finger individually. Develops forearm strength.
  • Increases endurance and coordination. Improves grip.
  • Ergonomic palm bar for comfort and control.
  • Available in 3 models of graduated resistance.
  • Heavy Tension: 4.09kg (9lb) per finger.



Gripmaster Finger Excerciser, Heavy Tension (Black) Overview


Professional Sports trainers, athletes and therapists use Gripmaster because of its unique ability to provide an effective isolated resistance workout. Gripmaster conditions the fingers, hand, wrist and forearm with a unit you can carry in your pocket improving strength, control, endurance, to ensure a competative edge. Great for climbers, and many others sports where good strong grip is necessary. Much used by guitar players and other musicians for strengthening the fingers.

more power to your elbow - Mr. David F. Evans - UK
i used this (blue strength code) to recover from carpal tunnel surgery and i'm still using it daily as an exercise

versatile and silent, you can use it anywhere without annoyance (unlike the equally good nsd powerball gyro exerciser)

i am convinced my recovery from surgery was speeded up maybe 30% by using this



Grip Master - F. I. Cooper - Bradford, West Yorkshire, UK
Teriffic muscle builder, improves grip and strengthens the individual fingers enormously. Essential for all musicians whatever your instrument may be.Gripmaster Finger Excerciser



Gripmaster Finger Exerciser Medium - Mr. Darryl Box - uk England
Please think before you buy, unless you are body builder go for the lighter version and build up.

I bought this one which you need to have hands of steel to use! Look out for mine on EBAY !!

Gyrotwister Classic orange/yellow incl. Software

Gyrotwister Classic orange/yellow incl. Software Review





Gyrotwister Classic orange/yellow incl. Software Feature


  • including software-revolution-counter
  • comes with two starting-cords
  • GyroTwister - original with 5years warranty
  • with gyrogrip-band for better handling



Gyrotwister Classic orange/yellow incl. Software Overview


The GyroTwister Xbeam is the training device that's addictive - in a positive sense: The latest tests from Germany show that training with the GyroTwister significantly improves your grip.It also trains your lower arms, upper arms and wrists in a fun and effective way. GyroTwister doesn´t operate using weights and springs like other types of training equipment, but by using the principle of gyro power. As a result, the power of GyroTwister is variable and always can be adjusted to the training condition of the user. The gyro energy generated amounts to around 10,000 rotations per minute, around 15 kilos or 33 pounds! No batteries - pure muscle power!How does the GyroTwister work?Imagine you´re holding a glass of ice cubes in your palm and you shake the ice around the inside wall of your glass. The GyroTwister works without batteries! You power it up using pure muscle power. Inside the device, you´ll find a 200 gram rotor - the heart of the GyroTwister. Once it´s set into motion, a rotation impulse starts up around the axis. Bike riders are familiar with this kind of impulse. If you get on a bike that´s not moving, you´ll fall over. But the faster you ride, the more stabile the bike becomes. To steer, more power has to be used as speeds increase. The principle of precession is probably familiar to those who´ve tried to roll a bicycle or car tire down the street. At first the tire rolls straight and upright, then it turns to the left or right and then straight again, only to beginning turning all over again.

Very good product - V J Cummings - Teddington, Middx United Kingdom
I found this very useful. I have hand mobility problems and this gives a really good stretch



Toooo tight!! - Tommo -
The holes in the rubber band are far too small therefore painful which restricts exercise time. Used only for a few days the rubber is now splitting, item being returned. Probably OK for very small hands. Yes I was using the large one provided! There are two sizes provided small and extra small in my opinion.



its ok for fun!! - Gazanb - France
If you are seriously considering this to strengthen your hands, save your money or buy a gripmaster suited to your ability. The ball is ok for squeezing excercises but the rubber band bits aren't much use. I recommend you look at:Gripmaster Finger Excerciser



Ok.... - SupremeDalek -
I've bought one of the alternative egg shaped one's as well, which I find to be a much better type of material to squeeze...this one isn't very pliabe, which means it fatiques my hand much more quickly - which results in poor work-out/conditioning etc. However, the rubber band type contraption that you put your fingers through (my hands are about medium/large and even they're a bit tight) is a great idea, previously I'd just used normal rubber bands to strengthen hand/wrist extension. The ideal solution would be drill a hole in the other squeezy one and use the rubber bands from this one!!

Pro Hands X-Heavy Tension Hand & Finger Exerciser - Dark Grey 11lb

Pro Hands X-Heavy Tension Hand & Finger Exerciser - Dark Grey 11lb Review



This is a pretty nice piece of equipment, that will be effective for most people.

The only possible problem is that the 11b finger pull will likely not be enough if you are considering using these for genuinely serious use (weight-training, power-lifting, climbing etc.), which is what these are supposedly aimed at.

So unless they make a significantly harder set you'll probably only really use them to warm up before moving onto stronger grippers or other grip building exercises.

Which is a shame as they do a very good job of exercising your whole grip (including pinky), and so there must be a market for say 15lb and 20lb versions of these.



Pro Hands X-Heavy Tension Hand & Finger Exerciser - Dark Grey 11lb Feature


  • #1 hand exercisers in the world!
  • Challenges each finger individually using patented spring-loaded finger piston technology
  • Greatly improves hand, wrist, and forearm strength
  • Develops dexterity and endurance
  • Fits in your pocket so you can exercise anytime, anywhere
  • Ergonomic palm cushion for added comfort
  • Patented

Pro-hands you'll get them..... - Mr. D. G. Pelling -
Having done various training exercises and used various techniques to improve grip strength over the years, these really work. Be aware they do come in different strengths this being the strongest,it fits neatly in the hand and has the option of full hand grip or work through idividual finger grips unlike a lot of other handgrips. Also unlike the usual handgrips it strays in the hand and doesn't twist out of your hand when they get sweaty. You can fit it in your back pocket and one grip works for both hands so take it anywhere if you so desire,work hard and improve your grip a well designed and worth while purchase.
