For the price and quality, these urethane-coated plates are hard to beat. They’re incredibly easy to move and handle. I had all bumper plates for years but recently bought these to use exclusively with my rack while keeping the bumpers for my plate-loaded machines and lifts from the ground. I definitely didn’t need them but now that I have them I really love these plates. You still get that satisfying plate-on-plate sound that a lot of lifters love without it being as aggressive as steel plates. My wife lifts a lot less weight than I do so the smaller and lighter plates are much easier for her to handle. That’s made these even more enjoyable for both of us and honestly made the purchase that much sweeter. Highly recommend these. If I were starting over with no plates at all I’d go all in with these.

These are solid! I had the gen 1 version of these a few months back, but sold them and got the newly released gen 2. These are priced very well and fringe always has some sort of discount that can be added. I primarily use these outdoors for high intensity interval training. They still look brand new and take a beating on my outdoor concrete area. Highly recommend if you need some slam balls.

These are fine, they work as intended and do a great job. That said, there are a lot of far cheaper options that do the exact same thing. If I was starting over, I’d just get generic medicine balls. I ended getting these because I was making a large order with Rogue and it made sense to take advantage of the shipping rate I was quoted for my bulk order.

I’ve had this piece for several months now and I gotta now say the Temple Of Gainz Pendulum Squat is the machine I didn’t know I needed. The versatility of this machine is what really sets it apart. The weight horns are removable and the foot plate is fully adjustable on both the horizontal and vertical planes. It also has forward and backward adjustment. You can make the entire machine more compact so it takes up less space than a 4x6 stall mat. You can also run both weight horns or just one side. That makes it possible to tuck this thing into a corner and really maximize your space. This machine is a 10/10. It’s incredibly smooth with minimal to zero stability issues depending on your loaded weight. And did I mention that it absolutely destroys your quads? You won’t need a ton of weight to get a brutal workout. I also absolutely love the placement of the brace handles. They engage my core more than other pendulum squat handle placements I’ve used. You’re also not limited to a fixed counterweight since you can add plates and/or band resistance with the band pegs installed. If you can catch this on sale then it’s an even sweeter deal. That said, I wouldn’t have any issue paying full price for it. If you’re in the market for a pendulum squat this should absolutely be on your list of options imo.

I’ve had this machine for a few weeks now and after a handful of workouts I’m genuinely impressed. I previously owned the Temple of Gainz V3 and before that I had a Titan plate-loaded machine. I’ve been searching day and night for a seated leg extension/leg curl option that was within my budget, and this has thankfully checked all the boxes. The range of motion is smoother, and the steep seat angle feels much, much more comfortable and natural. I could immediately tell the difference with this being a 1:1 machine. Not that that was super important to me but it happened to come with this piece and now that I have it, I dig it. When comparing the leg extension to the seated curl, this machine really shines with the extension. The leg curl does its job but the strength curve is a bit off with the heaviest resistance coming at the bottom of the movement. Nevertheless, I still get an amazing stimulus in my hamstrings and if you do slow eccentric/concentric reps, your muscles are going to BURN. I don’t know if having the Titan plate loaded machine for several years made any difference in my evaluation because I really enjoyed that machine and this weight-stack version feels very similar to it. Assembly was a DREAM compared to most of the other machines I own. All the pulleys were preinstalled, the cables were already routed and I just had to connect a few pieces. It took less than half the time I expected. Pricing was the cherry on top. This was originally going for $2,899, which I wasn’t interested in at all but Titan recently marked it down to $2,499. I worked a few angles and managed to get mine for slightly less than the original $2,200 out-the-door price, so for that, I’m ecstatic. The build quality is solid, and I feel confident it will last. Lastly, and very important to me personally, my wife LOVES this machine. She was indifferent about the TOG piece, but once I got this one in and she tried it, she said, “We’re keeping this one. I love it.” Wins all around.

This is my first rower, but I’m not new to rowing. I was deciding between this and the Concept2, and ultimately the Rogue won me over because of the storage ability. Being able to fold it up and tuck it away was huge for keeping the limited open space in my gym actually open. When it’s time to use it, I roll it to the center of the gym, knock out some conditioning, and when I’m done, it stores behind my pecdec and StairMaster completely out of the way. Storage aside, this thing is badass. It performs as expected and then some. There’s absolutely zero wobble while rowing, it feels incredibly sturdy, but it’s still light and easy enough to move around. The oversized wheels are great and make rolling it around seamless, and the color scheme looks sleek as hell. It’s just an all-around great rower. If you’re working with limited space and/or don’t plan on keeping your rower out all the time, the Rogue Rower is definitely worth a look.

I knew this thing would be big, but it exceeded expectations in the best way. It’s ridiculously overbuilt and I mean that as a compliment. There’s absolutely zero wobble when doing dips. The knurled handles look and feel fantastic (close to Colorado knurling), and being able to fold/store it out of the way when it’s not in use is clutch. I hesitated at the price but after using it and holding it, I'm happy with it.

I needed a small but mighty storage rack for my little arsenal of kettlebells. Amazon had a ton of cheaper options, and I almost grabbed one just to check this off the list. Then I stumbled across this rack from Gronk Fitness. What ultimately sold me were the dimensions, it was exactly what I needed for my limited space, and as you can see from the pictures, it fits perfectly. It was a little more than I originally wanted to spend, but once it arrived, the price was absolutely justified. The rack feels solid and well-built, includes padding to prevent metal-on-metal contact with the kettlebells, and assembly was ridiculously easy. You could probably hand the instructions to a child and they'd figure it out. At the end of the day, it's just a storage rack…but it's a damn good one. I love it. Small footprint, sturdy, well thought out, and exactly what I needed. Highly recommend!
