5.0 out of 5 stars Great for true beginners like me
This book has been very helpful for me. It tells you exactly what to do each day.Each day has a QR code to scan so you can watch instructional videos on how to properly do each exercise.You will need access to at least 4 sets of different size dumbbells, a yoga mat/workout mat, and an incline bench. My apartment complex’s gym has all this, thankfully. You can’t do this book with just one set of dumbbells.It has 66 days of workouts. So if you do 2 workouts a week, you will finish the book in about 6 months or so. Great value!The one thing I don’t love are the HITT days. Ugh, they can be really challenging as an obese person. They don’t involve dumbbells, so it’s not directly related to the theme of the book. Still, I get value from it and solider through.Overall, I love filling out the journal and feeling accomplished.
5.0 out of 5 stars Game changer!
I don’t usually write reviews, but I find this journal to be a game changer in following through on my workout routine. Lifting weights was never my thing. I thought it was boring. Yoga is more my jam, but after some research I found that lifting weights would help with my desired weight loss and aging gracefully so I decided to give this a try.What I love — it’s all laid out for you! It tells you what to do for each workout. Don’t know how to do it? No problem! There are videos and a written description of each exercise. You just choose the weight. And you write down what you have done. You can always refer back to previous workouts. After each workout, there is a space for you to write down your intention for when your next workout will be. This holds me accountable.I also love that the journal itself is a visual reminder to workout. I just set it where I see it when I get home from work.I’m three weeks in and can already feel the difference in my body. I went ahead and bought one for my husband!
4.0 out of 5 stars Great workout option for home!
Journal comes spiral bound and good quality. It includes many tips and tricks for strength training and also nutrition. Throughout the journal, it provides more tips and tricks. Each workout focuses on two muscle groups with multiple exercises. Also includes descriptions for the workouts in the back of the book, or you can scan the QR code and find the descriptions online as well. The booking includes modifications to make them easier or harder as needed. I also like that it refers you back to the previous workouts where you can find your previous best weight and reps for that exercise. Four days a week are strictly strength training, focusing on two muscle groups and then the fifth day is a hit style workout, focusing on the whole body. Workouts are challenging, but can be modified to make it easier previously.One con I have found with this book is sometimes the descriptions of the workouts can still be a little confusing. Also, if you were using the book and the QR code website together, sometimes the descriptions don’t match up exactly.If you are looking for a good dumbbell workout to do at home, this is a great resource with exercises and a journal to track your progress!

I enjoy weight lifting, but tend to get lazy and stick to the same exercises because it takes time and research to plan workouts. This book is the solution! Exercises are mixed around so that all muscle groups are worked in different ways. The book operates on a pyramid theme which really encourages me to work harder and longer. I can record the weight and reps for each set, and I take notes if I need to increase or lower the weight. Links to workouts are really helpful. I saw results in just a couple of weeks. The book is beautifully bound and very sturdy.All the preliminary work is done for you. Really excellent resource.As with all Habit Nest books I have tried, there is some small, light grey text that is difficult for my old eyes to read. It's not critical text, but I do hope that the good folks at Habit Nest improve that aspect of the book.
5.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic way to start a weightlifting habit
I bought this more to help with establishing the habit of weightlifting, I did have some previous knowledge of how to lift. As I began, I realized I didn’t remember as much as I thought- the QR codes that went directly to the exercise were invaluable to ensuring I was lifting correctly. Being able to track in a hard copy was great to show me my progress and increase if able.I finished this in about 13 weeks, at the end of which I can absolutely say I looked and felt better but also had established the habit of weightlifting. I wasn’t sure what to do AFTER the 13 weeks, but it only took about a week to find a YouTuber that I liked. I’m in my late 40s and I feel stronger and healthier than I have in years. I’m down 30 lbs, and it all started with this book and a desire to finish it. To say that this is a value for the money diminishes what it accomplished- establishing a habit that has likely added years of quality and health to my life.
5.0 out of 5 stars Personal trainer at home
It’s nice to be able to open the book and know exactly what workout to do. You can tailor to your own abilities and do what you can. If you get stuck there are videos to model each exercise.

I love the concept of this workout journal. It gives me a place to start and tells me exactly what to do. However, I think that the quality of the journal itself is lacking. I opted for the spiral bound version, thinking it would be easier to use, it would stay open while I do my workout. However, it is incredibly flimsy. The covers should be more stiff and heavier weight paper than they are. I have glued cardstock over the front and back covers to beef it up but I fear the covers will fall off altogether sooner than later. Disappointing considering the price they charge.

I'm using this for my home workouts and love that it guides me properly. Takes out all the guess work completely. Very well planned out.
Accountability
I purchased this at the start of 2025; I used the Gym Partner book years ago (just before COVID). I love that they are detailed, easy to follow, and allow the user room for adjusting for, well, life. But it makes sure to teach the user accountability - maybe that's why resolutions fail for many. It is a support guide, and is great for anyone no matter their level of experience - those returning to a healthier lifestyle, or those who want a change in routine.
Love it
Great book and loving the workouts
Looks like a good tracker for starting out and if you need a journal to track
Just got it today. Couple of notes - it does take a while to arrive. Mine was definitely over the estimate but it's the times.When I got it the only minus as you see in the pics - the book came right off the backing. It seems like it was missing glue to connect it to the spine so technically cover was held by thin paper.Bolo addressed it and gave credit. I did not want to return as it is still usable. Just a bit of a meh experience in terms of product looks/quality.Lots of info inside, which is cool, looking forward to trying it out.
Good book, Questionable Quality
Book arrived with binding already breaking/ripping. Otherwise the contents are as described. I’m just wondering how long it will actually hold up..
