With the Ironmaster DBs you definitely need somewhere to store the change weights and locking screws, and this handles that well. The top surface works great for changing weights, and the storage shelf holds most of my full Ironmaster ecosystem including the 120lb and 165lb add-on kits, locking screws, KB handles, and Micro Plate Kit. The wheels are nice occasionally, but it mostly stays put since it's loaded down with a lot of weight. Small thing, but being metal is a bonus as I have magnetic hooks attached that hold a plate math spreadsheet I made for the DBs, KBs, and mace. Works well, but the price is hard to justify unless you're already deep in the Ironmaster ecosystem like I am.

Bought this because I wanted a power bar to complement my Rogue Ohio Bar. A cool-looking barbell in the black and gold color scheme, and the tolerances seem great and are definitely a step up from the Ohio Bar, most noticeable in the duller thud it makes when hitting the floor. However, I don't like the knurl on the bar I got. The cerakote finish is the only option available, and on my bar it feels filled in and isn't grippy at all. My initial plan was to use this as my main bar and relegate the Ohio Bar to secondary duty, but it ended up the other way around.

Great bar. The first barbell I purchased for my gym in 2021 and it has held up extremely well. I'm only knocking build quality down to 4/5 because it rattles rather loudly if you drop it, though that never really bothered me. You can't beat this quality for the price.

I hate it (in a good way). Conditioning work can be absolutely brutal on this thing. Works decently enough for steady state rides too but definitely shines for intervals/max effort type work.

For transparency, I no longer have this piece of equipment in my gym for space reasons, not performance ones. I wanted to leave a first review since there's nothing here on it yet. The standout quality is how smooth everything is. The cable system (lat pulldown, low row) and smith bar are genuinely impressive and much better than I expected going in. With the belt squat, pull-up bar, and low row footplate add-ons (which I'd consider must-haves), this machine covers pullups, cable rows, lat pulldowns, belt squats, and smith work extremely well. Build quality is more mixed. It shakes at heavier weights especially if you're using it for barbell work. But the J-cups use a double-hook design which I found more annoying than useful and the spotter arms are only really practical for bench, being too short for squats. There's also no hole numbering on the uprights (I fixed this with magnetic numbers inside the tubing). The cable system starts around 35 lbs, which is too heavy for some exercises, and you're locked into their attachment ecosystem with the tubing size (though they do offer a wide range). The price adds up fast once you factor in the must-have accessories. If your workouts center on what this machine does well, it's excellent. Just go in knowing the cost of entry and its limitations.
