Rated 10/10 The Best in Measurable Isometrics
By Chrystopher Johnson

As a practitioner of the Isochain for the last 2 years, to say I've been impressed is an understatement. The Isochain has forever changed my outlook on fitness training. My knees are the best they've ever felt and my chronic tennis elbow hasn't flared up since 2020 when I started using the chain. Fast forward 2.5 years and the developers/researchers in DD'S R&D department drop the IsoMax, the successor to the Isochain.
Quieter, more portable, easy to select numbered straps, rechargeable battery and more access to different exercises (chest press!) and we have one for the history books. This device is a must buy for anyone who is looking to develop not only functional strength, but with the right routine, peerless strength (think Alexander Zass and Bruce Lee who were both huge proponents of Overcoming Isometric training).
There have been products I've spent a couple hundred on in the past and have sorely regretted my decision. The Isochain and Isomax are not one of them! Highly recommend!

I began using the Isochain as my sole form of training last year. In my mid 40s I've put on muscle, gotten stronger and reduced my blood pressure. The Isomax is an upgraded version and because I can move through the exercises faster with the strap. It also taxes my cardiovascular system like a HIIT session. This system is revolutionary especially for those of us on the wrong side of 40 who still want to train without pain and injury. DragonDoor has outdone themselves with this product and I would recommend it to anybody without hesitation.
Rated 10/10 The Best Home Gym Purchase
By Marty Sweeney

I have a relatively lean but still robust home gym. And I've tried just about every modality and program in the last twenty years of lifting. Nothing really compares to using isometrics with the IsoMax.
I know exactly what I'm trying to do each time I approach a workout and I know how it went each time I finished. There is nothing quite like quantifiable isometrics for basic strength and body composition work.
Other members of my family - mainly my wife and daughters - have taken to strength training because of the IsoMax.
If I had only one purchase for home workouts, I'd choose the IsoMax. Actually, if I were a member of a gym, I'd choose the IsoMax still. Can't speak highly enough of it.
Rated 10/10 Worth every penny

I have had the Isochain for a few years and now have had the IsoMax for a few weeks. The Isochain is awesome so I was unsure I needed to upgrade to the IsoMax but Dragon Door has managed to improve an already awesome product. The adjustable strap is a HUGE upgrade over the chain, not only in the feel but in order to provide consistency from workout to workout I used duck tape to mark the chain links on the IC; now the strap is numbered and I KNOW exactly what # to use. The base plate is improved as well, it's lighter and doesn't bend even under max force. Top all of this off with a rechargeable handle and you have another winner from DD. If you are thinking about getting an IC or an IM stop thinking and get one! You won't regret either purchase but the IM is the clear winner for me.
Rated 10/10 Love my Isomax.
By Bob Lorenz

Been working out since 1975. Started with a 45lb dumbbell and bodyweight calisthenics. Switched to kettlebells in 2008. Went with Convict Conditioning at the start of 2010. Added clubbells and maces a few years ago. It's all great but the Isomax has taken center stage. The combination of convenient, very effective isometric 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.
Rated 10/10 The King of Isometric Equipment

The Isomax is the ultimate king for building muscle and strength with isometric training. Everything else is merely supplemental.
Rated 10/10 Excellent product

This will change your efficiency in terms of how you train! I love this system and if you want to tone or grow muscle this is an excellent process through which to achieve results quickly. In 10-15 minutes you will have a complete workout and be on your way to a great physique. I highly recommend this game changing system!
Rated 10/10 Like isometrics on steroids!
By Al C.

I started out using the Isochain when it first came out years ago. I experienced both strength and hypertrophy gains almost immediately. Now, I'm using the IsoMax, and consider it the most effect form of isometrics available. it tracks strength output, for those of you who want to increase strength, and, for people like me, it produces maximum hypertrophy. In fact, measurable size gain with almost each session! It's as if training on performance enhancing drugs, but, at 60 years of age, I am natural for life, and still improving!
I cannot say enough about how easy it is to use this device to reach your goals quickly, and measurably with pinpoint accuracy.
There's nothing like it, the money is worth the investment. The IsoMax can be your only home gym, and you will still experience continuous gains.

The ISOMAX is a tremendous training tool for all populations; from youth/teens to former aging athletes and seniors who want to safely and effectively build strength.
Highly recommend the ISOMAX as another great tool in anyone's fitness program.
Rated 10/10 I love Iso's
By Mike Nease

I have been a fan of isometric training for years. I just never had a way to quantify the results, until now. The Isomax gives you a number to shoot for and I love that challenge. I also love the fact that you can do a full body workout in under 30 minutes. Great product!!
