Gronk/Ironax Seated Chest press

I bought the Ironax Chest Press two months ago and have been blown away by the quality and performance. It’s easily one of the best pieces in my gym, and for the price it’s very hard to beat. What I like most is the resistance curve, which really biases the stretched portion of the lift. The handles are set at a great angle, the width and convergence feel perfect for my liking, and the machine gives a really solid contraction in the pecs. The footprint is also relatively small compared to many other chest press machines, and it feels very stable during use. If I had one small wish, it would be for a pedal to start the movement from a slightly higher position rather than the very bottom of the range of motion. That said, it’s not necessary to get a great-feeling lift. One thing worth mentioning is the price difference depending on where you buy it. I paid $800 CAD at Treadmill Factory (around $600 USD), while the same machine sells for about $1400 USD on Gronk Fitness which is more than double. At the lower price it’s an incredible value. At $1400 USD it’s still a solid machine and arguably worth it, but it’s definitely less of a “no-brainer” value pick at that price point.

Very nice well built piece. It has a good feel and you feel even resistance throughout a rep. I wish tgeee re were more options for hand placement and you may have to get in a stretc He ed position to get in t get s machine. Very nice looking. Priced reasonably.
