I tested Crazy Fitness Gadgets vs Ryan Trahan
AI Generated·May contain errors
I'm testing the world's craziest fitness gadgets with Ryan Trahan,
who's not just an incredible YouTuber, also a former athlete.
That's right.
The whole idea is that this was my body six weeks ago,
this is my body now,
I want to get into the best shape of my life by August 31st.
Let's see if any of these can help me get there.
You warmed up?
No.
Not at all.
Good, I need that.
We've got seven challenges in total.
Each one is going to be more intense than the last,
so let's start easy with something called the Blaze Pods.
This is a set of interactive sensors
that are going to test how fast our reaction speeds are.
Okay.
We've got Team Aaron in this corner over here,
and we've got Team Ryan over there.
The goal of challenge one is to hit the most pods within a 30-second time limit.
Ryan's hitting the red pods, I'm hitting the blue pods.
The winner takes the first point on the road to victory.
Three, two, one, go.
Come on.
Yeah, go, yeah.
Oh, Ryan, one more time.
I'm having fun.
Come on, move faster, come on, Ryan.
Dude, I can't believe it.
Oh my god.
This is so good.
This is crazy.
I can't believe this.
This is so good.
Let's go, let's go.
I'm going to hit yours.
I'm going fast.
Bro, this is exhausting.
This is so tiring.
We're in the finish line.
You won.
Let's go.
He's quick.
GG.
Oh, GG indeed.
Number six is a smart skipping rope.
It's going to count how many skips we do.
Simple enough, but simple does not mean easy.
How many do you think you can do in 30 seconds?
All of them.
All of the skips?
Yes.
This is one of the ones I penciled in to lose.
And there's no way of cheating because it's a smart rope that will monitor your score,
which is good for you.
Three.
Oh my god, no.
Jump, jump, jump, jump.
Oh no, oh no.
I'm just going to beat you and then kind of use the devil.
Jump, jump, jump, jump.
Stop it.
Am I out of time?
It's weighing me down.
My shoulder's cramping.
That was amazing.
That was 59.
Sorry, Aaron.
I deserve to lose that one.
I think everyone can agree.
Okay, quick massage break.
This is the Theragun Pro.
It basically pummels you 2,400 times per minute to recover your muscles almost instantly.
So Ryan's basically been through hell to get here.
You've survived 30 days starting on one penny.
Yes, that's right.
How much would you like a massage right now?
Dude, I would love it.
I really would.
I can actually give you a target on my back where I've been feeling back pain.
This is going to be a little more powerful than you expect.
You ready?
I guess.
Holy smokers.
Does it feel good?
That feels incredible, actually.
Oh my god.
This is the best bit.
Oh yeah.
Yeah, either side up there.
Dude.
You want some love?
Where's the spot?
Oh man, like up here.
Oh yeah.
Editing muscles.
Oh yeah, look at that.
It's all those buttons you were pressing earlier.
Big mistake.
This is the point where the video changes genre.
Yeah.
How do you rate that?
2,400 out of 10.
Hey.
Right, so have you ever used a Powerball?
No, I have no idea what a Powerball is.
Okay.
I've actually got a couple of them.
Delete that.
That definitely means we're keeping it in.
It's going to test your wrist strength.
Okay.
So you're going to have to rotate it with your wrist like this.
Okay.
And the faster you rotate it, the higher your score is going to be.
Okay.
Got it?
I've got it.
Oh, he's going so slow.
No, no, no.
Slow and steady wins the race.
Here we go.
Oh, that's what they always say.
Bro could be holding anything and I'd believe him.
Look at that.
No way.
It's harder than it looks.
How much longer does he have?
Let's go, Aaron.
10 seconds.
10 seconds, Aaron.
Yes, let's go.
10 seconds, let's go.
This is going on the air.
Got it.
Let's not talk about that.
Got it.
7,116.
They call me the wrist wrangler.
3, 2, 1.
Let's go.
I think it stopped.
No, it's going.
It's going.
All right.
Let's go wrist wrangler.
I feel like a mother making pasta.
This is crazy.
It should get harder and harder.
Is it getting harder?
Yes.
Okay.
He's got it.
Okay.
Aaron, help.
Yeah.
Spin that gyroscope.
It's not going.
Team UK.
Next up is the fitness dice.
The simplest item on this entire list, but as you're about to see, no less chaotic.
There's two dice here.
One's going to tell you what exercise you're doing.
The other one for how long you're doing it.
But what we're actually going to do is a little different.
We're going to just roll the exercise dice once each, and then we're going to see who
can do that exercise for the longest.
To failure.
See ya.
All right.
He's still going.
I got it.
Yep.
See which exercise you get.
I'm going to tell you right now, I'm hoping for squats.
Yes.
Oh, no.
Yes.
No.
I can do those at every pace.
Already starting.
Might as well.
Anything but pushups.
It's going to be pushups.
Jumping jacks.
I can do that.
Go.
Let's go, Ryan.
Do those squats.
Get down below.
Parallel.
This feels good.
Oh.
Dude, I've been needing this.
Okay.
Fine.
Speed up.
I'm not getting tired.
His face is getting a little red.
I've got to say.
Yeah.
Yes.
That's the final push.
You got it.
Yes.
I hit a wall.
I hit a wall like none other.
Hey, me.
You asked for squats.
I didn't realize they were jumping jacks on me.
That's a fair point.
I want to know how many squats I just did.
We'll count in post.
Okay.
Cool.
That's 3-1 to me so far.
There's three gadgets to go.
This is anyone's game.
I can still win this thing, honestly.
This is the Oculus Quest 2, and we're going to use it to take this battle into the virtual realm.
If you watched Ryan's videos, you'll know that he is a master of the Metaverse.
I am.
Right?
You spent 100 days in the Metaverse.
Very few people have done that.
Very few people, and they call me Meta Brian, king of the Metaverse.
But at the same time, I'm a tech YouTuber, so I've got no excuse either.
It's a balanced event, I think.
I'm the green gloves.
Ryan's the white gloves.
Whoever scores the knockout first wins the point.
Isn't this so cool?
You see your hands on the inside like the gloves.
How do you block?
You're getting absolutely rocked.
No, I'm ducking.
I think I got it.
How do you duck?
Okay, I need to run out of here.
Run, run, run, run, run, run.
Run, run, run, run.
Watch this one right here.
Boom!
Watch this.
Boom!
You're done, pal.
You're done.
No!
I just knocked you out.
You can take that one.
All right, I'll take it.
Master of the Metaverse.
Right, number two kind of terrifies me.
This is a small hula hoop attached to a weight that swings like a deadly pendulum around your waist,
adding extreme resistance to each and every swing.
Have you ever hula'd in your life?
It's not big enough.
That's what she said.
It's going to count how many we can do in 30 seconds.
Whoever does the most swings wins a point.
Come on, come on.
Oh, yeah!
What's going to happen when I stop?
What am I at?
How long?
Oh, no!
No!
That's 57 points for me, 74 for Ryan.
Yeah, Ryan!
He's done this before.
So it's all to play for in the grand finale of Toughest Challenge Yet.
Have you ever been tased?
No, I haven't, Aaron, and I'd like to keep it that way.
I don't think you're going to stay that way for long.
This is the Slender Tone Belt, which sends intense shocks of electricity through your abs,
activating your muscles without you needing to do a single crunch.
You set your own intensity on the phone's app.
I've never been over 50 out of 100.
Well, then I've got to beat it.
Who can handle more pain?
Is that even fitness?
I don't know.
I'm starting.
Yeah, so you're at...
I'm at 2.
You're at 2, okay.
I don't feel it yet.
Oh, baby!
I'm cramping.
What do you want?
I'm on 29.
29?
This is so weird.
What is this doing to me?
It's basically stimulating you doing many, many crunches very quickly.
Yeah, and it's only targeting a certain part of my body.
I'm going to beat you, Aaron.
I'm at 38.
38, okay.
Ah, okay.
Okay, okay.
He's rising it really quickly.
Oh, I'm hurting.
I'm hurting.
I'm at 45.
I'm going to surpass...
Ah, okay.
I'm just going to go up to 50.
I'm at 50.
Screw you, Aaron.
Is this video going to have to be, We Kill Brian Trahan?
53.
Okay, I'm done.
I'm done.
You're done?
All right, 20 incoming.
Easy, okay.
30.
30?
30.
You said easy?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
40.
No, Aaron.
50.
Aaron!
60.
Breaking my own record.
Josh, you're insane.
Are we on 60?
We're on 60.
70.
No!
Go, go, go.
Dude, no way.
There's no way you're surviving this.
Okay, 80.
No, Aaron.
That's so hard.
You've got to do it.
100.
No.
Go, go, go.
And we've done it.
4-3, Team UK for the win.
It's been a prolonged session of blood, sweat, and tears.
That's what she said.
It's in the history books now.
GG.
It's been a pleasure.
It's been a real pleasure, Aaron.
Thank you, Team Ryan.
Thank you, Team Aaron.
