Chopper

Looking at the listing at a glance, the ChopFit looks like an expensive gimmick piece, but in-person, it's quite a bit more impressive. This thing has very solid and thoughtful construction, with a dense polymer handle with a grippy texture and rubberized head. It's intended for use with motions similar to sledgehammer swings, but unlike the typical sledgehammer and tire arrangement, this is meant for use indoors, without striking anything. It's kind of like doing a kettlebell swing, but with the weight positioned further from the hand. It's a bit light for my tastes, but it's good for intense, high-rep workouts. After thirty or forty swings, you can feel the burn, especially in the outer arm muscles. Above all, this thing is fun to use. Just the look of the thing, swinging it around, it really gets you psyched up for a workout. The pommel has a lanyard loop that is hooked to help keep your grip from slipping off. It comes with a lanyard and nice drawstring bag.

So I kinda bought this thing on a whim because it looked cool and maybe fun to use. Thankfully, I was correct in my assumption. I love the ChopFit axe! It is a great workout experience and the app comes has tons of built in circuits for using the axe and different settings from tough 10 reps to tougher 20 reps and toughest 30 reps. I was surprised at how much of a full body workout the exercise circuit achieves. The first use I just did only on the rough setting and almost my entire body was sore the following day. Since then I’ve worked my way up to doing the tougher circuit on a regular basis and occasionally the toughest circuit for a nice workout. It’s also more satisfying to use the ChopFit axe when I’ve got my heavy metal playing, swinging away to some Amon Amarth or other bands on my rotation for workouts.So if you’re looking for a piece of workout equipment that isn’t too terribly expensive and gets you a lot of versatility with the plethora of differ circuits you can select from, ChopFit axe is a great investment.

I quite enjoy the Chopper and it’s versatility, especially with the app and it’s workouts. However, it is a little light, so if you’re a seasoned gym goer/athlete, go for the Chopper Pro. I’ve taken to adding reps or doing exercises one handed to increase the intensity.

I was not expecting this to be as good as it is. What a great workout. Im 6 foot 180 lbs and went with the Pro and it was the prefect weight for me. 100% recommend.

My wife loves that it was easy to setup up and a good workout can be had in only 20 minutes.
