You have a great training program in the Netherlands, a good fitness routine and maybe even a passionate training partner to motivate you.
But what happens when you visit your family back home?
If you’re like me, you don’t have access to a gym, your family showers you with amazing food (God bless them) and… you see your fitness goals slowly slipping away. 😬
Workout in the Netherlands: Sunshine Edition
But what if you could do a full gym workout wherever you want – in the city you traveled to for work, on your beach trip with your best friends or just on a sunny day in the park?
No, that’s not a rhetorical question because with PAKAMA’s new backpack you can take the gym with you wherever you go.
This German-made bag lets you do all your favorite fitness workouts at the beach, park, or wherever else you want to get some exercise.
Assemble Your Gear
The PAKAMA Bag is a unique lifestyle backpack with 10 versatile tools that together create your very own mobile gym.
And if you’re coming straight from work or school, you can even throw in a laptop.
But since no one wants to carry around literal fitness weights on their back, the designers at PAKAMA Athletics made sure to keep the bag lightweight.
To that end, they designed a collapsible bar that fits snugly into two custom-made compartments and is easy to store. When you’re ready to workout, simply screw the bar together and hang one or more resistance bands on it to add extra weight.
Since the bar is hollow and the bands don’t weigh much without resistance, the PAKAMA Bag is also easy to take with you when traveling. ✈️
All your workout workouts in one backpack
And now the 10 tools we mentioned? You can combine them to simulate 500 gym exercises! The secret is the two-part bar that you hang resistance bands on – this allows you to deadlift up to 80-100 kilograms. 🔥
In the bag you will find:
Before you see them in action, these tools might sound a little cryptic, but trust us, they are super easy to use!
We tested them on the roof of our office at PLNT in Leiden (yes, shameless bragging) and it’s safe to say that we’ll be choosing the park over a stuffy gym every (sunny) day from now on. ☀️
Our little lunchtime strength training session was short but effective – and definitely wouldn’t have happened if we had to go to the gym.
To warm up, we tried the Speed Rope, which is guaranteed to get your heart rate (and mood) up instantly. 🦘 Next, we rolled out the handy foldable mat and got our bodies moving with some slider exercises (a smooth surface is best for this) before moving on to the real thing: the bar.
A few squats, deadlifts and lunges later, we were ready to pack up – and could have almost managed the rest of the workday without our usual midday caffeine fix.
Choose a Color
Well, as much as we love a solid, practical product, there’s no denying that we live in the age of influencers and Instagram highlights. That said, there’s nothing wrong with wanting your workout gear to be cute. 💁♀️
Well, PAKAMA has hit the nail on the head with this one. Available in three different color schemes (classic black, military green, and pretty pink), it’s also a backpack you can carry around with confidence – or show off on your Insta, if that’s your thing.
Use PAKAMA to achieve your fitness goals
If you’re not sure how to get the most out of the gear, we recommend following PAKAMA Athletics on Instagram. Their profile is full of videos and story highlights with tips on how to use the bag to its full potential – so you can achieve your goals. 😚
They’ve also developed an app that gives you access to a growing library of on-demand workouts and personalized training videos – all guided by professional trainers.
There are currently over 500 exercises explained in the app, so you won’t run out of inspiration anytime soon! And if you’re looking to improve your diet, the PAKAMA app also includes a complete nutrition program to complement your new workout plan.
When you purchase a bag, you even get a one-month free trial for premium access to the app. If you just want the app but don’t buy the bag, you can still get a seven-day free trial. After the trial ends, premium access costs €29.97 for three months. Much cheaper than a gym membership. 😉
