You don’t need a lot of equipment at home to be able to perform an intense workout, however there are a few pieces of gear that will really up the ante - a deck being one of them. The Escape Deck V2.0 from Escape Fitness can be used during a whole range exercises including cardio, weight and balance training. The original Deck was an all-in-one tool for step, circuits and bootcamps, the Deck V2.0 has taken things up a gear by adding even more versatility for cardio and strength workouts, with 16 possible configurations. The Deck V2.0 has a solid build quality and a stable foundation which ensure you feel safe and supported throughout the exercise. You can jump onto it but you need to ensure your core is engaged and you land lightly otherwise it can rock forward slightly (it is not as forgiving as a Plyo box) but the fear of falling off will certainly encourage you to concentrate on your form. There are anatomic hot spots that help you to make sure your hands and feet are in the right place for every rep to make sure you maintain your form, there is integrated storage inside the box which can be used to house hand weights, resistance bands or chocolate bars for afters.

The top of the deck can be adjusted for weight training at angles of 30°, 45° and 70° for a stable back rest and is reinforced with strong steel tubing for support you can have confidence in. The top surface has an anti-slip rubber top surface with intelligent grip for your hands, a tough tread for your feet, whilst at the same time remaining soft enough to prevent fatigue or irritation on your skin. The feet can be adjusted to two different height options, either low step at 205mm or high step at 355mm, with the low step being ideal for fast movements and the high step suited for strength and a greater range of movement. At 13kg it is obvious I need to work on my strength training as I found it quite a lump to move around, it measures up at 205mm (flat), 980mm (extended) x 330mm x 1100mm so it can be tucked under the bed when not in use. This versatile deck is easily adjusted to mix up your workout on the go, it can be used for such a wide range of exercises it will become your best gym friend, an absolute staple product when it comes to your workout equipment.
