Okay, so this IS NOT a commercial piece of equipment, let's get that out of the way entirely right now. But, it helped me recover from knee surgery, so it'll always have a place in my heart. We bought it prior to having a home gym, per se. We always had a treadmill (living in a perennially wet climate, we liked having the option for indoor cardio), so this just went next to the treadmill. It felt cheap. It is cheap. In every sense. Bare bones, and low cost. But definitely did what it was supposed to do. The problem was, we took it partially apart to get it into the moving van and after we moved into our house, it never worked right again. So if you buy this, don't ever take it apart. We tossed it out, but after some time, my knees are getting cranky again. So we decided to get another one about 2 years ago. It was just too flimsy for us now that we are accustomed to having a great home gym. So we donated it to the parish priest and ended up with a Precor commercial recumbent bike. The difference is startling. And we paid $400 for the used Precor while this thing is retailing now for $200. That is a no-brainer if you can move the awkward Precor to get it into your home (or similar, I see sub $500 commercial pieces around me all the time). I paid $119 the first time I bought this bike, but I paid $249 the second time, the value is no longer there.

This was... ok. I paid $49 for this when I first bought my PR 4000 rack. At 2x the price currently without any additional design changes, and given you can get the far superior Kleva version on Rep's website for $40 more, this is a HARD PASS. Not sure why they have doubled the price on this but I would not do it. It was fine to use, I suppose, but having gone to Kleva years ago (before the Rep collab), just wouldn't feel right using something like this again.

I owned the Fitness Reality X Class 1500lb Light Commercial Utlility Bench as my first adjustable bench when I Amazoned a gym together in 2019 for the first time when we moved to AZ. It also had a leg developer that I bought separately. Altogether, the thing was just under $500. You can get so much more today for $500. But I knew little at the time about the home gym game, wasn't a serious nerd back then. What I did learn about this bench when I got it in was how unreasonably tall it was. I want to say it was between 20" and 21" and clearly was designed by a giant or by someone who had no idea about lifting. For starters, no lehhhhg draaaahve from flat bench, and I felt like a child in a Dennys booth trying to put my feet into the leg developer. The bench was well constructed but the vinyl was slippery and the overall use was horrendous. I quickly learned from my mistake and sold it off for a hefty loss and started down the Rep and Rogue bench road to bench perfection and have not looked back.

Absolute trash. Don't believe the influencers who would have you believe you could recreate a commercial gym experience with lever arms. They're heavy. They're awkward. They take up so much space that you almost have to leave them on a rack or find an unused spot to keep them close by. The lever arm makes most of the things you'd use them for absurd. The only thing they are good for is actually using them as jammers, but most of us don't train something like that regularly, or can at least approximate that with a viking press attachment on a landmine. The best day I had in my gym was the first time I went in there and realized that these were gone. I really, really hated these things. For the price and all of the stupid additional things (Vendetta stuff, Kaizen stuff - remember that dude?), it will definitely overrun the cost of an actual commerical machine. I hope this message finds at least one person who is thinking about doing this and warns them off. Then, I'll have fulfilled my mission of keeping people from this idiocy. Stay away.

I had this bench to replace the Rep Fitness AB 3000 1.0. This was essentially a clone of that but had rubber feet on the bottom, which allowed me to stay under the bench without it moving on my platform. At the end of the day, the other major problem that I had with it, and why I sold it, was the lack of a cage on the FID sliding portion of the bench. It was not able to be stood up, and that is a huge drawback since space is a premium and I'm squatting in the cage half the time and need to move around the rest of the gym between sets. The padding was essentially the same as Rep's at that point. I'm not sure if they have the same clean grip vinyl that Rep has moved to, but this bench was essentially a copy of that one, so my guess would be they're made in the same factory or close to it. The one other thing I didn't love about the bench was being unable to remove the foot holds. That kept me from being able to really dig in on incline or flat.

This wasn't a great purchase. Having to put it together sucked. And it was just a handful of skinny pieces of unfinished wood. It did what it was supposed to do, which was as a pedestal for my Echo GHD. Once I dumped that, I dumped this. Would recommend a softer material for a box, since no way in hell I was going to jump on this thing and beat up my shins. Pass unless you have to hard fan-boy Rogue with every ounce of strength in your CrossFitting body.

I had this on my wall for a couple of years and I used it mostly for ab work. As far as using it for GHRs, the games box that was under it was not 100% aligned, or something like that, because it always moved just a touch off the box, which was unnerving to deal with it while trying to build up those hammies. I ended up selling it because it just wasn't working as intended, and I figured I'd get a GHR to replace it but never quite got around to it. I don't believe I'd use a proper GHD if I had one. So I haven't bothered trying to find the space in the gym for it.

I think this came with my Fitness Reality XLT rack that I had when I first started my gym. At least I don't recall paying separately for it. Either way, it was fine and got the job done. It was easy to screw on the rack and it rotated, which is exactly what a landmine attachment is supposed to do. It's not sexy but you're not paying for sexy if you're getting a budget rack ecosystem off of Amazon. But if you need a simple set up, or something to attach to a 2x2 rack, then Bob's your uncle.
