The build quality is solid - they're made for commercial gyms so they can take a beating. I like the diameter of the handles and I prefer the flat sides to a round pro-style dumbbell. The knurling is passive. You can definitely find a less expensive set of dumbbells though, if you prefer that over a pair of adjustables.

This works fine and the build quality isn’t bad, but it’s overpriced. If I could go back in time I would’ve just bought the Voltra by itself and bought a Darko quick mount instead of this.

I bought the Beyond Power Voltra I after selling my old squat rack with a dual-pulley plate-loaded functional trainer because I wanted to laterally upgrade to a nicer 3x3 rack, specifically a Titan X-3, without giving up cable functionality. The Voltra has been a great solution because it is far more space efficient while also being more versatile than a plate-loaded rack-attached functional trainer. It not only fills that role well, but has also improved other parts of my setup by letting me replace or upgrade movements I was already doing, like using it for more Rogue Rhino-style belt squats instead of relying on my Fringe Sport Mammoth belt squat. Overall, it feels less like a compromise and more like a smarter, more effective home gym setup.

These are really nice. I’m going to start replacing my old cast iron plates with these. They’re space efficient and good for loading the bar up heavy. Plus the color looks great! However, adding the color definitely makes the wait time longer FYSA.

TRX is fine. I’ve used the straps quite a bit, but it’s definitely overpriced for what you get. You could the same stuff with some rings from Amazon.

I’m not a huge fan of this yoke. The crossbar is too thin, I don’t like side loaded yokes and the feet/ bottom rails can Easily catch the ground while you’re running or when you drop it.

These are a fun project for a home gym/ strongman nerd. Or you can usually find people selling them on FB marketplace. And they’re a ton of fun to train with!

This thing is dope! It’s slightly less polished than the MBPC Stone of Steel, but it’s way cheaper! If you can find someone selling one of these, get it.
