Anchor Gym H1 and H2

Like others have said, this is a very sturdy and well-made product. The thickness of the metal and overall solidness are impressive. I have only used it for a few days but it has not budged even slightly when I put almost my full weight (220 lbs) on it when using rings. Installation was a little trickier than expected. In order to attach it solidly you need to find a stud, and the heavy lag screws that are used to attach it have a hex head, so you'll need a socket wrench to drive them. This makes sense, the screw you need will be too heavy to drive with a screwdriver. You'll need to drill a pilot hole with 3/16" bit. The holes in the plate that receive the screws are not a lot bigger than the screw diameter, so you'll need to drill carefully. Your best bet is to drill top hole first and screw the top screw in almost all the way. Then you can level the mounting plate and drill the 2nd pilot hole through the opening in the plate. This reduces the chance of drilling the hole in the wrong place. There are no installation instructions shipped with the product, instead you get a url to a website with the instructions, but they are pretty simple. In summary, to install you need a drill with 3/16" bit, a socket wrench set, and a level if you care about having the plate perfectly level (probably unnecessary).

These are worth the money. A quick background. I had ordered other wall mounts. They got lost in the mail. So, I put in an order for Anchor Gym mounts. The other mounts were a lot less expensive. I decided to go with these Anchor Gym, the more expensive option after reading reviews. Lo and behold BOTH sets of mounts showed up on the same day. WHAT a difference. On the cheap option, the box was busted open, the screws were all loose, and the paint was already peeling off. I opened the Anchor Gym order. Each mount was boxed up separately (see pictures). I could feel a difference. The Anchor Gym mounts are super heavy duty. They are not painted. They feel like solid steel. The difference is insane. These are high quality mounts. If you are debating between getting a cheaper version or these, learn from my mistake and buy the Anchor Gym mounts. They are worth the money.

I own a physical therapy clinic and the H1 was the perfect solution to my needs for both wall and ceiling mounts. After finding a stud on the ceiling and wall, I easily installed several of these anchors. I use this anchor for TRX suspension straps, TRX Rip Stick and resistive bands. I'm also an aerial acrobat and have used the anchor for my lyra (hoop) and aerial hammock. The open hook allows me to easily interchange equipment and the t-bar keeps things from slipping off. Such a brilliant invention! I'm able to completely hang from my TRX equipment and am confident when clients pushing 300 lbs are pulling from it.

With gyms closed due to COVID19, I needed some extra equipment for home. Did a lot of research into a modified TRX set up (cheaper than the official TRX brand) * I DID purchase additional hardware to increase the safety of anchor: carriage bolts, split washer, regular washer and stop nut. Packaging comes with wall bolt, washer and nut. Very easy installation, works great.

Excellent Anchor

"I buy lots of stuff on Amazon but I have never been compelled to write a review until now....!! The H1 is simply and amazing piece of fitness equipment. I can work out in my home with any type/brand of resistance band, suspension trainer (including TRX) or stretch strap. I don't have much space so it fit nicely on my wall in my bed room. I might get another one to mount outside as a well since they are weather proof. I had a few questions about the use and installation and reached out to the company and the owner, Shawn Finnegan responded back right away with tips on fitness and nutrition. He has posted some great information on the site about how to eat and exercise to reach my goals. He also offered free coaching if I needed more help down the road....I love his "Above and Beyond" attitude for his customers. That is so rare these days! I'm so happy I found Core Energy Fitness and the Anchor Gym."

These definitely get the job done for me. I was able to anchor them in the studs adjacent to a door frame. I installed 3 - one near the ground, another and chest height and the third at about 7 feet. These work perfectly for a wide range of exercises. They hook design is genius - it is easy to attach and detach bands, and I never worry about them accidentally slipping off. These are excellent.

I bought this to use with my fitness ropes. It is sturdy and with the size and weight of the hardware screws that were included, I doubt it will ever be anything but 100% securely fixed. Just remember and make sure where you install it is where you want it because it is not going anywhere else so thanks.

I believe these to be the strongest and best designed anchors for using resistance bands, TRX, etc. in a home gym. They are expensive but you get what you pay for. I not only like their heft and solid construction, I also really like the fact that the hook is open at the top so you can slip in the bands without the need for caribeeners. Forget the mini anchors and go with these big, heavy duty ones that are rated at 800 lbs. and are lag-bolted right into the studs.

Perfect for my needs. really heavy duty and screwed into wood and as solid as anything. Highly recommend for heavy band work

Used this to hang a large weight (200kg+) did not budge from the beam it was attached to. Would be perfect for a punching bag or hoist mount

Its perfect and its very strong. but i had to use my own rubber anchors for concrete wall drilling. as it was not provided. it came with only screws and washers.

Muy útil y súper fuerte
