Old school iron. There isn't much to distinguish these from any other metal plates out there--in fact, I wouldn't be surprised if they were generic plates packaged and resold by Fringe. I will say the glossy coating is a nice touch and it has prevented rust from accumulating on them despite being stored in my humid garage. Generally speaking, if you are in the market for standard weight plates, shop around for the best price or purchase them second hand when possible.

These are versatile j-cups with multiple useful applications. Fringe Sport originally created these for thier Sim Gym, which is a wall-mounted functional trainer and half-rack, to create more clearance when racking and unracking barbells. I don't have a Slim Gym, but I ran into a clearance issue when I mounted my Mammoth Belt Squat and Swan Neck to the rear base stabilizer on my PR 5000. Ultimately, I purchased these to preserve the space inside of my rack for bench pressing (I just like benching with my head facing away from the garage door), but I found a secondary use for them as handles for my Mammoth. Design-wise, these j-cups are very heavy duty and come standard with two Magpins that can be utilized for other purposes when the j-cups are not in use. The j-cups also have built-in hooks which allows them to be stored vertically on an open upright. Overall, this is a cool product with several practical applications.

Thanks to the Mammoth (with kickstand and dual weight horns), belt squats have become my go-to squat variation for leg days. Though there is some forward pull, because of the longer lever arm I've found that the feel is comparable to similar units I've used in commercial settings. Fair warning--it does require some experimention to find a position for the fulcrum that works best for your anatomy and preferred stimulus. If you want the movement to provide a stimulus that is closer to a barbell back squat, then setting the fuclrum slightly above the knees seems to work best. Alternatively, if you want to achieve a greater quad stimulus, you can place the fulcrum higher, mimicking the path of a pendulum squat machine. I highly recommend biting the bullet and upgrading to the kickstand and dual weight horns for the best experience. My only gripe is that Fringe has yet to produce a handle bar for it--it is awkward to use without something to hold onto, and it requires some creativity and/or third party hardware to find an adequate solution (pictured: Rep PR5000 rear stabilizer + BoS Junction/Stand Rack Connection + Fringe Swan Neck for the center mount, and Fringe Slim Gym J-Cups + Rep Utility Weight Horns for the Handles)

This a great SSB for a home gym setting. I own the V2 SSB and it has held up astonishingly well over the 4 years of use. The padding is super comfortable around the neck and shoulders and the shaft is built like a tank. My only issue was with the handles, which are slightly uneven, but it has not been noticeable during everyday use. I'm confident this thing will last a lifetime.

A great leg extension/ leg curl machine to round out leg day. My first impression when unboxing and assembling this machine is that it was built to last. Build-wise, the uposltery is nice and grippy, and the padding is both firm and comfortable, much like other offerings in its price range. Additionally, the tubing is heavy-duty, making it very sturdy under significant loads. Even after a year of regular use, this piece has held up very nicely. Performance-wise, much has been said about the dead zone at the start of movements, where there is little or no resistance, but I've learned that this can be eliminated by placing a 25lb plate on the weight stopper. In terms of overall value, I would say Titan's leg ext./ leg curl machine is positioned somewhere between entry-level and premium, which is consistent with its $ 800 – $900 price tag. That said, Titan regularly runs promotions where you can pick one up at a discount (as of April 12,2026, it is priced at 30% off on their website), making it a very compelling option. Overall, I am very happy with this unit — I do not regret the purchase and do not see myself replacing it soon.

High-quality, well-priced GHD. I've used this piece twice a week for the 5 years I've owned it, and it's held up with very little wear and tear. The build quality is on par with that of the equipment I've used in commercial settings, powerlifting gyms, and upscale CrossFit boxes. As a 5'10 male, I've used this unit across a range of movements while weighing up to 230lbs, and it has never budged during use. The pads are comfortable, and the exterior uses the same grippy, non-slip material that is featured on Rep's line of benches. Finally, the trolley operates smoothly with no maintenance required, making the footplate easy to adjust.

While this product is innovative and I respect the creativity that went into making it, for me, it created more problems than it solved. What I found through real-world use is that the convenience of unracking dumbbells from the top of the ROM was outweighed by the complexity and precision required to re-rack weights under significant fatigue. Further to that, set-up time was an issue for me-- the process of positioning my barbell and bench in a way that would allow me to comfortably unrack my dumbbells was time consuming and cumbersome. Finally, as others have stated, the feeling of the handles is very offputting when working up to heavier loads, which I feel compromises my grip and limits my ability to focus on moving the weight efficiently. That said the product itself is well-built and I had no concerns that it would fail when used as prescribed.

What can I say that hasn't already been said about this rack? I've had this unit (4-post, 93" x 43") for more than 3 years now, and it really is the crown jewel of my gym, and I'd argue it's one of the best 3x3 racks on the market. In terms of build quality, the welds, coating, and fit-and-finish are top-notch. Performance-wise, it is over-built and will take anything you throw at it. Rep's ecosystem of attachments is only matched by Rogue's, and its modularity means it is compatible with basic attachments from most other vendors (so long as they don't have closed ecosystems). Overall, this rack is durable and versatile — it is built to last and will grow with your evolving training needs.
