Got my first set of these off FB marketplace. Lettering just had a little bit of discoloration from being kept in a non climate controlled garage. Loved them so much I picked up a 2nd set at HomeGymCon 2024. Good quality at a fair price.

Picked this beauty up at HomeGymCon 2025. Added it to my Golf Work Bench/weight plate storage rack. Even though it has 5/8th in hardware, with a simple larger washer I was able to attach securely to my PR 5000 Crossmembers.

Bought these as I wanted Red/Black squat rack. So I got the red Crossmembers from Rep as I really wanted true 3x3 but did not want to pay for Rogue prices and Bells of Steel nor Titan (at the time) had a red option. So now they are part of my 10 post "franken rack" (Rep, Rogue, BoS, Black Widow, & Titan parts). I then reconfigured my design once Rep came out with storage shelves and used the extra crossmembers to make a plate tree and then turned it into a very over the top Golf Work Bench with plate storage, drawers and baskets for storage. Only issue I had was a few scratches in the paint upon arrival. I emailed Rep and they sent me some paint to repair the scuffs to help prevent rust and corrosion.

If you like Deep Dish style plates and can find these, they work well. Paint is starting to chip but I bought used for $.25/lb in 2018 when starting my gym and I still have them because...they work.

It holds weight well. The end caps being plastic will eventually get ripped off which is a bummer, but will still function as described.

Its a Rope, only issue I had was plastic end started to come off after awhile. Not a deal breaker but no need to break the bank on a Battle Rope.

I had a hard time finding a treadmill that: 1. Had a big enough motor for long miles or higher user weight capacity so I know it will last 2. Did not require a membership or need to be connected to internet 3. In the $1000 or less price range (price may have increased since purchase date of 3 years ago) 4. Could fold for space savings This is a bare bones treadmill that hit all those marks. Only thing I did not like was the handle speed/incline adjustments as I will hit them should I get to close to the console changing the incline or speed slightly. Only other issue I had was running the wires through when assembling, it was better than some other devices I have had to to the same but always annoying.

Mine are at least 20 years old. Just had to refinish due to rusting after being in non climate controlled environment. Again, I am not sure how you can say weight plates do not perform. My only issue would be is if you are getting new ones off the site, I had flaking issues of the paint and no longer have those so, if buying new, I would spend same amount elsewhere, if buying used on a discount, they are fine.
