My thoughts on this
I’ve been testing this product called the "Gym Magnetic Phone Mount" recently and I have honestly been really impressed with it so far. The main thing it does is stick securely onto metal surfaces, which makes it really useful for filming yourself at the gym. Whether you’re recording your workouts, taking progress videos, filming fitness content, or even creating other types of content outside the gym, it makes everything much easier and more convenient.
One thing I like is that it’s simple to use. You just attach your phone to the holder, place it onto a metal surface, and you’re ready to film. It saves you from trying to balance your phone awkwardly or asking someone else to record for you. I found it especially useful when filming exercises from different angles because you can quickly move it around and set it up almost anywhere there’s metal equipment nearby.
There are two different versions of the holder available. The standard Black version can hold phones up to 3.3 inches / 8.4 cm wide. This version is suitable for phones such as the iPhone 6s, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 14, and iPhone 15.
The second option is the Black (Plus) version, which is slightly larger and can hold phones up to 4.6 inches / 11.7 cm wide. This version is great for bigger phones, including the Samsung S24 Ultra, as well as the iPhone 6s, iPhone 13 Mini, iPhone 14, and iPhone 15.
The reason I decided to get one for myself is because I kept seeing people use it everywhere online, especially in gym videos and fitness content. It looked really practical, clean, and easy to use, so I wanted to see if it was actually worth the hype. Since I go to the gym regularly and enjoy making content from time to time, I thought it would be perfect to test out for myself.
After using it properly, I can honestly say I understand why so many people like it. The magnetic hold feels strong and secure, the setup takes only a few seconds, and it genuinely makes recording content much more comfortable. I also like that it’s small and portable, so it’s easy to carry around in a gym bag without taking up much space.
What surprised me most was how useful it became after only a few gym sessions. Instead of struggling to find somewhere safe to place my phone, I can simply attach it onto the equipment and start filming straight away. It makes creating workout videos look cleaner and more professional without needing expensive equipment.
Overall, I genuinely think it’s a really good accessory for anyone who enjoys filming workouts, creating fitness content, or simply wants an easier way to use their phone at the gym. I’ve personally enjoyed using it a lot more than I expected, and I can definitely see myself continuing to use it regularly.
