It’s amazing how something so simple can be one of the favorite things in my rack. Storing two bars overhead is so useful. With all the color options, nothing is improve. And the hand written thank you letter that comes in every package shows just what thought goes into Darko’s business.

I absolutely love this unit. I have it paired with the Nighthawk bench. Extremely easy to set up, simple to move, and solid. What I like: 1. Leg extensions are amazing. I wasn’t sure I’d like not having a back, but it’s not an issue. 2. Simple to move. Whether attached to a bench or standalone, it easily moves around the gym. Way less footprint than the used commercial unit I had previously planned to purchase. 3. Strength curve is consistent, and paired with my Ares 2.0, it’s amazing. I haven’t tried plates or bands, so won’t comment on consistency there. 4. Overall adjustability lets you set exactly where rollers fit you. What could be better: 1. It’s well documented the default config can hyper extend knees. For me, I had to add a block to hold the starting position about 1.5” out. I also leave the cable to my Ares 2.0 a little slack. Combined, they let me get into positions for leg curls without hyper extending. Neither is a showstopper, but given the price, I wish there was an adjustment built in to compensate for this. End verdict: I love this unit. I have been able to adjust for every criticism. While I wish I didn’t have to, it wasn’t hard, and having this unit really has been great for the gym.
