Harbinger Fitness Review & Giveaway!!!

I recently contacted the very helpful people over at Harbinger Fitness to see if they would be open to me doing a review of a pair of their training gloves, and was so happy when they answered back yes and sent me a pair of their Women's FlexFit Gloves (pictured below)

I have started adding more focus to strength training I take a couple classes a week that work a lot with weights (perfect since I have been trying to get my toned arms on.) but my biggest concern with weights was I was noticing these oh so sexy callouses forming on my hands from the weights, and to be honest I am not really a fan of the hard, rough patches. So I am very thankful for the FlexFit gloves for being a great solution to that problem. The gloves themselves are an all purpose training glove so I wear them in class, while I do my Kettleball workouts and stuff like that. They are great fit, lightweight ( I was worried about how bulky they would be but they're not at all) very comfortable and help me to keep a firm grip while lifting. I haven't had much experience with weight training gloves but the Harbinger FlexFit Gloves fit all the criteria I would be looking for in a training glove. So if your looking for a great pair of quality workout gloves I would recommend stopping by Harbinger Fitness.

Wow, I was JUST looking at gloves to get for the gym! I really would want the Flex Grip gloves because I am getting gnarly callouses from lifting. Other than the gloves, I think the Anti-Microbial Mat would be awesome so I could do some more workouts at home. Thanks for the awesome giveaway!

I like the Padded Handle Push Up Bars. I have some tendonitis in my wrists (darn you to heck, desk job!) so doing push-ups tends to make them hurt. Something like this would probably help!

Also, I've been pretty good at avoiding callouses on my hands so far. It probably helps that I use fewer dumbbells and more machines with rubberized handles.

I visited the Harbinger website, and I would definitely love to have the 8lb fitness ball. I think it would enhance my at-home sit ups a lot!

I linked back on my blog's sidebar. I would love to have these gloves...the gloves I currently own have about "had" it!

I've been using free weights for training for a while, but I don't have gloves (and blisters are common)...so I like the 149 Women's Pro pink/black gloves. :)

Great giveaway! I am also not a fan of the weight-lifting-induced hand calluses. Thanks for hosting it!

I'd be interested in their speed rope. I've been meaning to incorporate some jump roping into my routine.

great giveaway!
My weight lifting gloves fell apart eons ago.
I would also love a new weighted fitness ball as Modern Caveman had the brilliant, not, idea of taking ours outside. let's just say it's permanently filthy!

I use Harbinger gloves and I love them. I love that they're washable because I have the ones with wrist straps and they can get smelly.
