 Thank you all for your awesome posts which inspired me and I can't wait to get my health back on track. I hope all of you have a wonderful day and I hope all of you stay safe in these strange times!

 It's more of a workout "area" than a gym at this point but I have my FID bench on the way and I by some miracle was able to grab a pair of Bowflex Selectech 552 dumbbells at my local sporting store. I was searching for those for about 2 and a half months and almost did a backflip when I got the last pair this morning. I have my bench on the way, my dip bars, and my weights now. I am finally joining the club

The Best Adjustable Dumbbells

OutdoorGearLab

The Escape Fitness RISER is a platform meant to be jumped on. Throughout our research, this step stands out amongst the rest as a real winner for plyometric exercises. Plyometrics can be described as the rapid contractions of muscles as a modality for building strength. Simply put, plyometrics is the act of jumping and rebounding to develop muscular strength and endurance. The Escape Fitness RISER is octagonal, which allows for dynamic, 360-degree motion during a workout. In addition to a multitude of accessories for this step, this highly unique shape makes it very versatile. Each step is sold individually, so if you choose to buy them, you can securely stack them to your heart's content. The wide and balanced support base allows the Escape RISER to safely stack to a height well beyond most of its competitors. If you opt to purchase the long, oval-rectangular platform, you open up your options to include a more traditionally shaped step or an incline bench. The upper and lower portions of this step are coated in a thermoplastic rubber that is super grippy. Additionally, the smooth texture of the surface allows for easy cleaning. It is quite apparent that these risers are well made. 
Unfortunately, the Escape Fitness isn't always the most practical choice. To have more than a not-even-5" platform, you'll need to purchase extra risers separately. Many of the platforms in our roundup offer the option to purchase additional risers, but those options come with at least two risers included in your initial purchase. To gain some notable height with the Escape Fitness RISERS can get to be pretty pricey. Overall, we think this particular platform and its corresponding accouterments would best be utilized in a functional fitness-type setting. The base is not quite wide enough for a true step aerobics workout, and it isn't a budget option. But if you are looking to outfit your home gym with some state-of-the-art equipment, you'll likely be pleased with what you get for the money with this setup.
