I love these parallettes. I think in my lifetime I’ve been around every type of parallette imaginable: from PVC, to wood, to steel. These are the best I’ve used. The aluminum body makes these lighter than wood! The cork on the bottom is anti slip on virtually all surfaces. The powder coat in the aluminum is nice and has a good texture with or without chalk. And if it’s too chalky or sweaty cleanup is a breeze. They are stable at the base and do not roll across a wide range of hand positions, which can be a problem on other brands. Lastly, they stack pretty evenly for easy storage. Love these and I am planning on buying the larger size when they are available again. Highly recommend! I took off a star for value, but it’s closer to 4.5 stars if you live in the EU, where these are made. The cons: These were hit by the tariffs but like oak club they arrange a pre-paid tariff shipping option via fedex. Also, they’re expensive and have fairly limited runs. I’m guessing the Aluminum shortage due to the Iran situation will not help with availability either.

I had an older pair of these that come in red. I got rid of them for the new abmat pads. Someone mentioned that you will get stains on these pretty easy. It’s probably better now that they are come in black. I think the value to performance is great. The name is accurate, these pads will dampen sound quite a bit. I had these on a 5th floor apartment in NYC, never once got a noise complaint.

Upgraded from the Shogun sports metal sled. This is a must have if you are 1) Doing sled work 3X a week or more 2) Your terrain is mostly asphalt or NOT LEVEL 3) You’re in a residential neighborhood with a lot of neighbors and noise is a concern 3) You hate the idea of loading an reloading a metal sled everytime you use it 4) If you want to easily switch between workout partners on a single sled All of the above is DOABLE on a metal sled, but the sled will not do any of the above as well as the tank can. When I bought one I knew I was a buy-it-for-life piece and it has proven itself as such. There are some accessories that are kinda mandatory. If you need to maneuver the tank into corners or areas, there’s is a wheel attachment that lets you do that. Get it, it’s pretty solid. If you want to load with some weights, you can add the weight horn. Lastly, a belt squat strap or similar for pull work. I have a rope setup and a strap that just lives on this thing. If I had an indoor dedicated turf strip I’d probably just keep a metal sled to save money but then I’d be paying for the indoor space and the indoor heat. Not saying it will be a wash but there are hidden costs to dedicated spaces in gyms. Lastly, since this is on wheels, I’ve been able to use it over snow and compacted ice. While not optimal, it helped me keep using the sled well into the winter months. Which would be impossible in a metal sled. Great product and I don’t expect to ever sell it.

These are thrown in for pretty cheap when you get a rack from rogue. That’s probably the only circumstance in which I would not buy second hand. The design is basic and universal, so there’s not gonna be a lot of variation between manufacturers. Stores well and out of the way. Initially had these vertical on the rack but when my programming changed they went on the storage unit.

An extremely well built and versatile cardio bike. This was a lifesaver during the pandemic. I bought a refurbished one that had a crack in the frame. Not a great first impression. However, their customer service was pretty exemplary and got me a replacement within a few days, no issues 4 years and counting. I think the value you can get out of this bike is phenomenal. The ability to flip the screen over allows you to use this to run yoga or other non bike sessions without needing to use a screen in the room. And let’s be honest, if not in the gym, this is very likely to be in the den/office/nook/ extra thick hallway. So there may not be a convenient TV to cast from the app. The variety of programming is why I gave it 5 stars for value. It’s high quality video production with a big music library. So if you like jamming to royalty free music, this is not the bike for you. The build is pretty solid as it has survived several large bodies going through weight loss journeys on it. This bike is also for people that like to add attachments/accessories to things. You can buy so many parts aftermarket, this is the jeep of exercise bikes. I have mini fans, seat sliders, and bunch of other items. The world’s your oyster on this one. Get the plus over the regular. You will also forego having to bend down and adjust that tension knob constantly since the plus is automatic.

A very good loadable mace. I would recommend this one or the Weckmethod one for anyone interested in starting mace/club work. The metal feels solid even though it’s hollow to lower the overall weight to allow for lower weight additions to the mace. The lock is tight and I am not concerned about flying weights when going full speed. Great starter mace to see if you like it enough before buying a set, fully recommend. Even if you hate it, I’d imagine it’s easy to sell on marketplace or EBay since it’s so light and cheap. Update: forgot to mention the metal version has a knurled raised grip (not full knurling but enough to grip securely without chalk)

Well crap, I had a review but got a call and lost my text. This product is so good, I’m gonna do it twice 😎 Excellent value slant board. Has a nice 30 degree slant. I needed something that was light to move around and stored easily. Pretty much everything in the gym needs to be portable and storable due to space constraints and usage by other members of the family. This fit the bill. I have a pair of resin wedges from ATG that are heavy AF. I get the need for stability but the weight to strength ratio was off. Most of the boards I’ve seen are either heavy metal, resin, or plywood/wood. That’s just not gonna work in a 1 stall garage space. The grippy strip is aggressive and definitely makes you feel more secure. Best portable slant board IMO

Great design, though this will not the best value step up. Pretty sure you’ve seen the value option at your local hyrox/CF gym. You can get these shipped fairly easily with the tariff situation via fedex. As with most of the reviews I have, I needed something portable, stackable, and with neat storage. The fact that this is designed with all those factors made me pull the trigger. Very happy that they also asked me about personalization of the colors. Ended up matching to my rack. For me this is worth it, but I would never add to a commerical gym/box, maybe a private studio with private coaching clients. The other review is correct this will scratch your powder coat a bit. I think I would only recommend for the true home gym or if you need to match a certain aesthetic.
