Frog Fitness’s The Frog is a revolutionary new piece of exercise equipment that helps you do frog-like movements to build muscle and lose weight. It might sound weird, but it promises to work. Here’s our review.
What is Frog Fitness?
Frog Fitness is a Texas-based exercise equipment manufacturer that recently launched a piece of equipment called The Frog. Priced at $1500, The Frog promises to be the next big thing in fitness.
The idea behind The Frog is that you can combine high intensity interval training (HIIT) with resistance training to maximize the effectiveness of your workouts.
You can use the frog horizontally or vertically in your home.
How Does The Frog Work?
The Frog works by helping you perform frog-like movements that combine resistance training with HIIT aerobic exercises. It consists of four wheels attached to resistance bands. You lie on the machine then stretch out, push, and perform other workouts to work all different areas of your body.
It’s kind of like doing a horizontal military press.
In any case, The Frog promises to be “a total body resistance trainer that works all major muscle groups in an incredibly short amount of time.”
Some of The Frog’s signature exercises include:
- Superman’s
- Leapers
- Core Killers
- Mojo’s
You can also perform lower body workouts, curls, squats, triceps extensions, and other types of upper body workouts.
The Frog is also a concurrent strength and aerobic training device. Instead of doing resistance training and then cardio, you can do it all at once. Here’s how Frog Fitness describes their device:
“The Frog is the first concurrent strength and aerobic training device. This Total Body Training Device will work every major muscle in your body, either individually to target and exhaust them, one or ALL AT ONCE! Every major muscle group simultaneously! Nothing works the entire body like the Frog! The design of the Frog allows for the user to match their specific abilities to the exercises they are performing.”
You can also use the Frog Fitness machine vertically, which is how you perform many of the workouts.
How Much Resistance Can You Add?
One of the key features of The Frog is its resistance bands. You can add up to 3 bands on each side of the frog to increase the difficulty. And, there are four different levels of resistance bands. Your Frog machine comes standard with all of the following resistance bands:
- 2 x 10 pounds
- 2 x 20 pounds
- 2 x 40 pounds
- 2 x 60 pounds
Adding all of the 3 heaviest bands to the machine gives you 240 pounds of resistance. You can also purchase more bands (although you’re always limited to 3 bands on each side). However, with 3 x 60 pound bands on each side, your resistance increases to 360 pounds.
The Frog Pricing
The Frog is priced at $1495 USD + shipping.
As you can imagine, shipping is not cheap with a piece of exercise equipment this large. Standard shipping to California through FedEx Ground Home Delivery was $80.67 – although that’s not totally unreasonable for the size of package you’re getting. However, those who live outside the continental United States will want to carefully check shipping costs before they pay.
Other accessories for the Frog available on the online store include the following:
- 60 pound resistance bands (set of 2): $25
- Frog Blocks: $100
- Complete Set of Bands (Pairs of 10, 20, 40, and 60 pound bands): $80
- Vertical Stabilizer Bars: $80
The Frog Blocks are designed to be placed on the ground to hold your Frog in place, while the Vertical Stabilizer Bars hold your Frog in an upright position.

Should You Use The Frog as Your Next Piece of Exercise Equipment?
The Frog is an interesting new piece of exercise equipment that combines aerobic HIIT exercise with resistance training. It claims it’s the first device of its kind to do so. Yes, you might look weird while working out on The Frog, but Frog Fitness claims it’s “the worst fun you’ve ever had” (that’s their slogan).
As a relatively new device, The Frog doesn’t have too many verified reviews online at this time. However, the reviews we could find seemed to be mostly positive.
