“Been working out since 1975. The Isomax has taken center stage. The combination of convenient, very effective isometrics and seeing the amount of force generated on each rep is phenomenal. Dragon Door's innovations are a godsend. I'm 70 and the strongest I have ever been.”

Great product

very interesting

very interesting book

too early to tell.

Too early to see any results, after only a week and a half of training.
I was surprised at the speed it arrived.
Very good impression so far.

Very Helpful

This is a well thought out sequence of exercises. I have been doing wheel poses in yoga practice for years, but never making much progress to the full pose. Learning to concentrate on just raising the chin instead of lifting the entire head has helped me to improve immediately. I am about to begin Step 2 and am looking forward to back strength gains!
