Concept2 RowErg with PM5

Air-resistance indoor rower sold on both Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk as the Concept2 RowErg (the current Model D) with a PM5 monitor.

• Full-body, low-impact workout. The flywheel is designed to stay quiet while keeping a smooth pull.
• Performance Monitor 5 with Bluetooth and ANT+ for heart-rate belts and training apps.
• Splits into two pieces for storage and rolls on caster wheels.
• About a 9 × 4 ft (274 × 122 cm) footprint, 500 lb / 227 kg user capacity, and a 5-year frame warranty.

Cardio machines

Concept2 BikeErg with PM5

Air-resistance exercise bike with the same style of flywheel and PM5 monitor as the Concept2 rower. Sold as a BikeErg with PM5 on Amazon.co.uk and listed by Concept2 on Amazon.com.

• Damper acts like gearing: more air through the flywheel means a heavier feel.
• PM5 shows pace, watts, and calories, and pairs with training apps over Bluetooth.
• Manufacturer figures: about 48 in long by 24 in wide (122 × 61 cm), 68 lb (31 kg), user capacity 350 lb / 159 kg.
• Self-powered monitor. No streaming-class subscription is required to ride.

These links open the Concept2 BikeErg search on each Amazon store, tagged for this site. A single shared /dp/ ASIN was not stable on both stores at the time this page was written, so confirm the listing title says Concept2 BikeErg before you buy.

Cardio machines

UREVO 2-in-1 folding treadmill

A compact UREVO treadmill that works as an under-desk walking pad or, with the handle up, as a faster walk-and-jog machine. Both Amazon stores list this 2-in-1 style with a remote and an app.

• Handle folds so it can sit under a desk for walking, or stay up for a faster session.
• Walking up to about 6 km/h (about 4 mph) and a higher running mode up to about 10 km/h (about 6.2 mph) on the listings.
• Remote control, LED feedback, and the UREVO app for time, distance, and calories.
• About a 2.5 HP motor, a multi-layer belt, and shock pads. No full-size gym treadmill footprint.

Same brand and the same 2-in-1 job, not one shared ASIN. Amazon.com is the Strol 2E (B0FS7ZH2M3), in a current colour option such as black or flaxen. Amazon.co.uk is the 2-in-1 with handle (B0H9YSD89Y). Confirm the title says UREVO and that the buy box is in stock before you order.

Strength equipment

Marcy MWM-988 Multi-Gym

Selectorized home multi-station with the same ASIN on Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. Heavy steel frame, a weight stack, and stations for pull, press, and leg work.

• 150 lb selectorized stack so you change the load with a pin.
• Lat pulldown, butterfly (pec deck), low pulley, and a leg developer.
• Built as a home multi-gym rather than a commercial club machine.
• Stock moves. The UK listing has shown as unavailable at times while the ASIN stayed the same.

Strength equipment

Bowflex SelectTech 552 adjustable dumbbells

Dial-adjust dumbbells that replace a rack of fixed pairs. The US listing is a pair; the UK listing is often sold as a single 2–24 kg dumbbell.

• Turn the dial and pick up the selected plates. Unused plates stay in the tray.
• US pair: 5 to 52.5 lb per dumbbell, in 15 settings — the range Bowflex describes as replacing 15 sets.
• UK single: 2–24 kg with 15 increments, the same SelectTech idea in metric.
• Do not drop them. The dial mechanism is not built for Olympic drops.

Amazon.com ASIN B0G6Z84TQM is a pair. Amazon.co.uk ASIN B0GYD72GWT is a style page — choose the 552 dumbbell (often sold singly) rather than the 840 kettlebell option.

Strength equipment

Bowflex SelectTech 840 kettlebell

One adjustable kettlebell that stands in for a set of fixed bells. Listed on Amazon.com as the 840, and on Amazon.co.uk as a style on the same Bowflex SelectTech page.

• US listing: 8 to 40 lb, described by Bowflex as replacing six kettlebells.
• UK style option: 3.5–18 kg single kettlebell on ASIN B0GYD72GWT.
• Useful for swings, goblet squats, and carries without a row of bells.
• Pick the 840 kettlebell style on the UK page, not the 552 dumbbell.

Same product line, different page shapes. Confirm the style name says 840 before checkout on Amazon.co.uk.

Strength equipment

7 ft Olympic barbell, 20 kg class

A seven-foot Olympic bar for 2-inch plates, sold on both Amazon stores. The exact brand on the US listing and the UK listing is not the same.

• About 7 ft long, 20 kg / 45 lb class, 28 mm shaft, sleeves for standard Olympic plates.
• US listing (B0FYC87W1D) is rated up to about 1,500 lb.
• UK listing is the METIS 7 ft Olympic bar (B08SMPM2JR), about 20 kg with a 28 mm grip.
• A training bar is not a competition bar. Read the knurl, bearing, and warranty notes on the listing you buy.

Not one shared brand or ASIN. Photo is a generic chrome bar, not a picture of either listing. Confirm length and plate fit (2 in / 50 mm sleeves) on the page.

Strength equipment

Adjustable weight bench

A flat / incline / decline bench for dumbbell and barbell work. Both Amazon stores stock this kind of bench; the brands below are different.

• Back pad adjusts through incline and decline so one bench covers press, row, and sit-up angles.
• US listing is the FLYBIRD adjustable bench (B0HJR7FKDV), advertised to about 800 lb and from −30° to 90°.
• UK listing is the Chiidou foldable 8-level bench (B0FXTYR23B), advertised to about 300 kg.
• Check pad width, uprights if you bench with a bar, and the real weight rating on the listing.

Not the same brand. Photo shows an adjustable bench of this type, not the FLYBIRD or Chiidou product shot.

Accessories

Gaiam Essentials exercise mat

Gaiam Essentials mat with a carry strap, sold on both Amazon stores. Thickness is not the same on the two listings.

• Textured surface for floor work, stretching, and core training.
• Carry strap so it rolls and goes.
• US listing (B0FRG5TM2T) is the thick Essentials mat, about 10 mm / 2/5 in NBR.
• UK listing (B013N9F0JA) is a Gaiam Essentials mat around 6 mm.

Same brand and role, different thickness. Read the millimetre spec on the page you open.

Nutrition

Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard 100% Whey

Gold Standard 100% Whey, with whey protein isolate as the primary protein source. Both stores sell the formula; tub size and default flavour differ.

• 24 g protein per serving, with naturally occurring BCAAs, and marketed as low in sugar.
• Amazon’s US page for Double Rich Chocolate is the 5 lb tub (ASIN B000QSNYGI).
• Amazon’s UK page for Delicious Strawberry is the 900 g tub (ASIN B000GIURIQ).
• A supplement is not a meal plan. This is not medical or dietary advice.

Flavour and size differ: US link is Double Rich Chocolate 5 lb; UK link is Delicious Strawberry 900 g. The photo is a Gold Standard tub and the flavour printed on it may not match the listing you open. The UK flavour picker also lists Double Rich Chocolate if you want a closer match.

Books

Starting Strength: Basic Barbell Training

Mark Rippetoe’s barbell book: squat, press, deadlift, and bench, taught as a beginner strength method. A book, not a coaching session.

• 3rd edition paperback on Amazon.com, ISBN-10 0982522738, about 347 pages, The Aasgaard Company.
• Amazon.co.uk also lists that 3rd-edition paperback under ASIN B00M0NO47A.
• The older 2nd edition (ISBN 0976805421) is a different book and is not the link used here.
• Read it with a qualified coach if you are new to a barbell. The site’s safety page still applies.

The US link uses the ISBN as the product id. The UK link uses Amazon’s own ASIN for the 3rd-edition paperback. Stock on the UK listing is often a marketplace copy.

Books

Practical Programming for Strength Training

The follow-on to Starting Strength: how to programme the barbell lifts for novices, intermediates, and advanced lifters. 3rd edition, Mark Rippetoe and Andy Baker. A book, not a coaching session.

• Same paperback on both stores: ISBN-10 0982522754 (ISBN-13 978-0982522752), The Aasgaard Company, about 256 pages.
• Covers stress, recovery, and adaptation, then day-to-day programmes from novice through advanced.
• Expanded chapters for people who stall, and for lifters who are underweight, overweight, or older.
• Read it with a qualified coach if you are new to a barbell. The site’s safety page still applies.

Both links use the 3rd-edition ISBN. Amazon sometimes shows an older 2nd edition nearby — check the cover says 3rd Edition before you buy.
