@@fabianesteban2570 100% If you have any cardio or agility goals, this is an extremely valuable tool. Even if you just have fat loss goals, it's a great way to make cardio interesting.
Yes these BlazePods are used for cardio and agility, yes you are right. But it's not what it's mainly used for. Even if it was just for physiotherapy and rehab to improve your coordination, reflexes and decision making, it's perfect for that too. I know though, you're talking from a gym/cardio/agility standpoint, so it's all good.
I would argue that the way I'm using them is the main intended purpose. That is how they market them after all. BUT you're right. This could be an excellent tool for those things as well.
Since this review was made they have removed many features behind a PRO app (100-150USD/year). I learned this the hard way. Also, if you intend to use them on the floor, you need the base stands, otherwise they will flip 50/50. What is annoying is that they removed basic features such as SAVE program and only 1 of 5 base styles of training. Many of the "200" programs are they same and most of them support 4 or less pods. This is really sad considering the potential. If you are going to buy this, also budget for the PRO app, otherwise you will be disappointed like me.
I'm sorry to hear that. I wasn't aware of this. I still use these in my training on occasion but use the drills I've already created or found in the past so I've not ran into this issue. Maybe I should make a new review for these in the future.
You didn’t the $15/mo app subscription which is needed to do anything beyond the absolute basics. I am wondering if it will still save your stats if you only want to use it seasonally, i.e. stopping and starting your subscription.
Sorry, I missed this comment. At the time I did this review, there was no subscription. Hence, why I didn't mention it. Admittedly, I haven't used these in a couple of months but when I did use them last, I used all the same features I always use without any subscription.
Are you able to start the pods by tapping first from off to on by color showing for example ( I tap and blue color showing and when i tap again red color can show)?
Actually, I didn't realize their black Friday sale is still on. The black Friday sale is a bigger discount than my 15% discount. That's why it doesn't show. They don't combine.
Honestly, I haven't used them in several months because I typically just jog outside when it's warm for cardio. But as of the last time I used them, I still thoroughly enjoyed them.
I didn't torture test them or anything but I'm pretty sure they're very durable. If you were using them for soccer drills and accidentally kicked one across the field, I feel like it'd be fine.
@@RyanTreadaway I saw in the video on their site a guy using them on a punching bag and punching them! I am actually going to use them in a similar way by strapping them to a dummy and using padded weapons to train accuracy and speed on my strikes. I think it will be awesome.
Ryan, that means you were using the free membership. A pro membership has a monthly fee according to their website. Maybe it's time to do an update video to see if and how you are using the product and mentioning membership. I think your viewers would like it.@@RyanTreadaway
@@bierendeul The link is supposed to automatically apply a discount code but maybe it isn't working properly on your device for some reason. Use the link and add code: CAE2909F1C5-6952 at checkout.
Thx for the review. I'm definitely looking into the pods for personal use and high school athlete coaching. This really helped as far as seeing the app ui, games, and overall usage of the device. Appreciate it!
The cone adapter is meant to be used with an actual cone, not the little flimsy agility cones I was using. It was the cones' fault, not the adapter. Lol

Do you feel like this product is worth the money?
what do youu think bro, is worth the money ?

Brooooo, it is so fun!!!
@@juanitopistolas7247 Heck yea man. Definitely a more fun way to do cardio.
I’m currently working on my review and this, by far, is the absolute best review out there.
Keep up the great work.
Glad it was helpful to you! Send me your link when you're done with yours.
I personally think this will be great for high school sports teams! I would have loved the competitive aspect when in school.
Yes! I was thinking about if we had this in highschool while I was using it. It would have been great.
Thumbs up for Rex
Thanks Joe!

You can "start on tap" or you can start by hitting the start button on your phone, which initiates the countdown.
Going through your link doesn't seem to reduce the price.
That said. Great review and really in depth. Thank you
Did you go to cart? The discount should apply at checkout.

Great review, Do you still have a 15% discount ?
Great video! Thank you very much
Glad you liked it!
Awesome review!
Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
How are you finding these after so many years since doing the review. Would you still recommend/buy them in 2024???
Honestly, I haven't used them in several months because I typically just jog outside when it's warm for cardio. But as of the last time I used them, I still thoroughly enjoyed them.
Are they durable? Does anybody know? Great review, keep up the good work :)

thanks for the review man, thinking about getting these now!
They're awesome! You won't be disappointed!

@@everythingbutthegym6130 that'd be awesome! I'd definitely use gloves of some kind though so as to not bloody your knuckles during training.
@@RyanTreadaway for sure!
Hi, do you need the pro package subscription to use the features you have demonstrated?
What subscription are you referring to? I don't even see anything about a subscription in my app?

Hi Ryan, just wondering if these pods emit sound/ beep that we can react to or do they only emit light. Thanks
There's no sound. They don't have any speakers. Just lights.
@@RyanTreadaway Thank you
@@danchan5 happy to help!
Rex for the Win!!!
🤣🤣🤣 he definitely won! Lol 🐕
Is there still a discount code?
There is no discount code. Just use the link in the description of the video. If you use that link, you'll automatically get the discount.
@@RyanTreadaway doesn't work, no discount in shopping cart without code.

Look at that cheater.... even though, I didn’t realize that I was cheating haha. I guess if you’re not cheating, you’re not trying. Haha
I saw you when I was editing. You were standing right there when I explained how the exercise worked. Lol 😉
You know me, I wasn’t paying attention. Lol
@@btred2 nope. Lol
Mvp of the exercise is Rex 🤣🤣
Oh most definitely. He really wanted to do the exercises with us. Lol
Thx for the review. I'm definitely looking into the pods for personal use and high school athlete coaching. This really helped as far as seeing the app ui, games, and overall usage of the device. Appreciate it!
I would definitely use them if I were a sports coach. No question about it.
that adapters in separate boxes facepalmed me... but overall very nice product
That was a lot of packaging. Lol it's definitely a great product though.
🔥
Thanks!
So the cones adapter look pretty useless. And two pieces of that is 32 euros in the EU store with 20% off lol

*No*
?
No like for offer discount
No like for offer discount? I'm not sure what you mean.
People will try and sell you anything if you are foolish enough to buy.
You're certainly entitled to your opinion but this is definitely one of the coolest products I've ever reviewed.
