APPS2Car Magnetic Gym Phone Holder, Alloy

The alloy base and ball joint give this magnetic gym phone holder a 360-degree range of adjustment, so you can aim your screen toward a treadmill or bench without holding your phone. Its magnetic base is designed to attach to metal gym equipment, while a clamp holds phones within the stated size range. That setup is useful for following a workout video, recording a set, or checking a fitness app between exercises. The main trade-off is straightforward: it needs a metal surface, so it won’t suit every machine or workout space.

Technical details

The mount has an alloy base and ball joint, a silicone layer where the base meets equipment, and a phone clamp described as carbon fiber. The listing says the base uses six N52 magnets and claims a holding force of up to 10 kg (22 lbs), treat that as the manufacturer’s stated figure, not a guarantee for every machine or setup. A full 360-degree swivel and tilt lets you reposition the screen, and the base’s silicone layer is intended to help protect equipment from scratches. The listing also describes an anti-oxidation coating to resist sweat and humidity, but gives no care instructions or long-term durability test results.

What it works with

The holder is listed for iPhone and Android phones measuring 4.7 to 6.5 inches diagonally, with a clamp range under 3.2 inches. Thin phone cases and PopSocket accessories are also mentioned as compatible. Since the clamp-width limit is separate from screen size, check that your phone and case fit the stated range rather than relying on diagonal size alone. The magnetic base is intended for metal gym equipment, there’s no stated way to attach it to plastic, wood, or other nonmetal surfaces. Compared with a basic stand that occupies floor or bench space, this mount can put the screen directly on compatible equipment, but it depends on having a suitable metal spot.

Usage tips

Before a set, place the base on a flat metal area and adjust the joint so the screen is visible from your position without reaching across moving equipment. For example, you could angle your phone toward you on a treadmill to follow a video, then reposition it for a bench exercise. Keep the phone within the listed size and clamp limits, and make sure the base is seated securely before you let go. If your gym equipment has no accessible metal surface, or you need a holder that travels between different kinds of furniture, a freestanding or strap-mounted design may be a better fit. It makes sense if you want hands-free viewing on compatible gym equipment, You may want to skip it if your usual machines lack a metal mounting spot.

Before you decide

Will it fit my phone? The listed range is 4.7 to 6.5 inches, with a clamp range under 3.2 inches. Check the phone-and-case width against that limit.

Can I attach it to any gym machine? The base is described for metal equipment. The listing does not specify an attachment method for nonmetal surfaces.

Can I change the viewing angle? Yes. The ball joint is described as adjustable through 360 degrees, allowing you to swivel and tilt the phone toward your workout position.

Is it worth it?

This is a purpose-built choice for someone who wants a phone within view while exercising and has metal equipment that can hold the magnetic base. The adjustable joint and stated phone range make it more flexible than a fixed-angle mount, while the silicone contact layer is a useful detail if you want to avoid direct metal-on-equipment contact. Its key limitation is where it can attach: if your workout setup doesn’t offer an appropriate metal surface, the magnetic design loses its main advantage. Choose it for compatible machines and hands-free viewing, choose a freestanding mount for a setup that needs to work across nonmetal surfaces.
