Carry your Gym with you

This seemingly unsuspecting boomerang-ish piece of wood and metal is in fact a full fledged gym in itself! The Yoak (wonder why it’s named so) is an incredibly versatile arc shaped tool that allows you to perform your entire workout using just a single piece of equipment. The Yoak adapts itself to multiple workout modes (Bar, Suspension, Squat and Parallettes) allowing users to fulfill a wide range of exercises. The Yoak is great for converting any area into a fitness zone. Its wood construction makes it easy to carry around while the metal armature on the inside gives it incredible load-bearing abilities. The Yoak comes with a small yet extensive kit of add-ons that give it its versatile nature.

The Yoak is not only a simple and brilliant solution for home-gymmers, but also professional gyms. Imagine having a whole series of Yoaks and not having people queuing or fighting for a chance on the suspension bars or working with the barbells!
