I've been very happy so far. I use it all the time. It's my go to for pulldowns over cable options as it feels amazing and the weight limit is unlimited. My staples are all pressing variations with individual arms, pulldowns, rows (individual arms, bar or cable. They are all great) , leverage squats on a single arm with a lineback attachment , belt squats. My B tier are things like laterals raises and hammer curls. I like the dip option but the set up and lack of support to hold you down takes them down a notch. Exercises I didn't like were flyes and bench presses with the bar as I just can't get under to even do them. I could use it for so much more but I have other options. I'm sure I'm forgetting other exercise I do as well. I flip flop between starting my presses from the small safeties and starting at the bottom. Things I'm not a huge fan of is that I've exceeded the weight capacity on single are movements like leverage squats and belt squats. It says the limit per arm is 380 I think. I've gone so far above that by going above 500 with no issue but on belt squats I have no room to even put more weight. There is an attachment coming so that will be nice as belt squats are amazing on here. I've used cable belt squat options and the squat max and this is way better. I wish there was a way to start and finish movements at the top with a barbell or even the individual arms as it feels so nice it use but just not possible to start and stop 500lbs squats at the bottom. I also with there was a way to lock the arms so they aren't always free motion or even the option to have them converge along a fixed path. That being said this is so much better than jammer arms. There is reportedly many attachments up and coming as well so I'm excited to see the future.

I bought this as my 2nd rack with a bench spotter to bench in and use for accessory stuff. I saved money compared to rogue and all the attachments fit perfectly between the 2. The only thing I find annoying is that the bolts are just a tad smaller than rogues for some reason. The wrenches struggle to catch perfectly.

I bought it in stainless when it first became available many years ago (7ish yrs I think). Rogue even cut it to fit the height in my previous gym. It's been flawless ever since. The top cross member being flush with the top is definitely a bonus I love. The stainless has been great. I keep adding on to it as time goes on.

I love this thing. I got sick and tired of the vts and got this on FBM. Its smooth, you can set your desired angle and it's just like having a dedicated smith with the built in safeties and latches. I have the one with the built in bar and I think it's more than good enough. It's a slightly bigger diameter which I like and the knurling is more than good enough. I've only run into the height issue on 1 exercise and that was an easy fix. It's extremely stable with basically no side to side wobble. As others have mentioned it is a little loud in use and a little short in height but those aren't an issue when you consider the entire package.

Complete disappointment. I've had the isolator for a long time and been waiting for this feature so I could stop propping up the seat with a pad. This was terrible. It was incredibly unstable and completely unusable. The isolator swayed a crazy amount under any load making everything terrible. It made for another expensive isolator attachment that got in the way and was disappointment no matter how I set it up. Larry tried to state it was only designed to hold the bench up but it made the isolator unusable when in use so what's the point of the product. I returned it immediately.

This thing is very solid and nice to use for whatever you use it for. Reverse hyper, GHD, GHD sit ups are my staples. I was not the biggest fan for back extensions. There aren't any handles. Things I don't like are the price l, the size and the weight. It's an absolute monster and moving this thing even inches is an event. With the new options coming out that angle and have quality of life features this will become obsolete.

Couldn't be happier. I sold my weight stack bells of steel lat pulldown station not long after getting this. I also bought a 2nd VOLTRA months later. I use this every workout for something. I have had zero issues. My 1st unit is over 1yrs old now with zero issues and haven't had to change the rope yet. I like it better than a weight stack as it's smooth and not jerky. I find new ways to use it all the time.

Overall pretty disappointed. This is now no longer in use as I found something better. If you don't sit on a bench and do movements, the entire rack and isolator move and or lift. I had to build a platform and strap the platform to it. It also gets in the way when you use a bench. I had to easier the area between the legs so I could rest a bench there.
