Compact and simple tool that just works. It is well built, feels great in the hand with individual finger wells, UHMW plastic protects your barbell, and the rounded foot makes lifting a fully loaded bar light work. It's obviously not as stable as a full-size deadlift jack but considering how compact this is and how easy it is to store on your wall, I'll take that small instability every day of the week. This is a no brainer for a home gym. I especially like that REP is collaborating with smaller companies to bring their products to a larger market, everybody wins.

There simply isn't anything to knock on this bench. It is well built, heavy duty, and stable. The pad is both firm and has sticky vinyl. It comes in a variety of color options to match with your gym. While it is fairly heavy, the knurled handle and wheels make it pretty easy to move around, though micro adjustments can be challenging. The front foot pad leaves you room tuck your feet. The ladder style allows quick adjustments and every angle you could want. REP paid attention to the details; both the handle and the adjustment knobs are knurled, and the ladder has laser cut angles. The bench can be stored upright and is pretty stable in that position. One of the features that stood out with this bench was the ability to add attachments. I will likely add the REP leg attachment at some point. It's an all-around great adjustable bench that doesn't break the bank and is a great addition to any home gym.

I've had this bike for around 4 years now and I feel like the novelty of the programming has worn off and neither I nor my wife use it as much as we used to. That being said, loading up a ride and having the bike automatically adjust both the resistance and the incline based off what you are seeing on the screen is pretty dang cool. My wife also likes to do manual rides as warmups, but I pretty much exclusively use one of the programmed rides. The variety of rides, locales, and trainers are pretty great. Once you find a trainer you like, you'll start looking for other rides they've done as they can be quite motivating. The reason I dinged the value is that to take advantage of the greatest features of the bike, you need an ongoing membership, and it gets quite pricey, especially if you want to have multiple users so you can track your rides individually or have them automatically sync with Strava. And the reason I dropped a star on build quality is because my electronics burned out right at the end of my warranty and despite still being covered, I ended up having to pay for a diagnostic, even though the parts were covered. The tech told me my issue was common because the bike remained powered on full time. He recommended I unplug it or use a surge protector to cut power when not in use. Shortly after my issue, NordicTrack issued an upgrade that put the bike to sleep when not in use, which I assume was to address the issue I experienced. I still cut power when not in use as I'm not sure if I would pay to fix it now that it is out of warranty.

This is usually a staple in every gym with a cable tower. I was surprised to find the one from REP was competitively priced so why wouldn't I go with a reputable brand? Build quality is as expected. It's a standard rope from a reputable company at a competitive price.

Multi-grip bar is a versatile and quality accessory for your cable tower. The bends in the bar allow a more comfortable and natural grip when doing moves such as curls and press downs. My wife even uses it for lat pulldowns, but it is a little narrow for me. As expected, this bar is built very well and lives up to REP's quality standards.

Heavy duty strap that is very versatile which enables you to perform several different exercises. The strap is heavy duty, feels nice, and the stitching is very solid. I bought this strap for cable crunches but realized how nice it is to use for other movements where a rope might be used such as tricep pushdowns and face pulls.

Got this to work on grip training and it is perfect for that application. It holds more weight than I could ever load and the build quality is fine for what it is. This is a standard design and does what it's supposed to. As usual, Titan offers a budget option that is simply good enough for most people. I've personally never had an issue loading plates or clipping a carabiner, but I suppose it depends on the carabiner you're using. As a climber, I have just about every size and shape out there.

This is my first experience using a Gym Timer but the Rogue Echo had some compelling features that made it stand out from the pack, especially since it was priced competitively compared to other budget brands. It's a good size for a home/garage gym. It's very bright, clear, and easy to read from anywhere in the garage. You can control the volume of the alarm which is a nice feature. I was a little disappointed with the app that controls it, I was expecting a little more modern interface with easier to program controls. Unfortunately, it was basically an electronic version of the physical remote. Speaking of the remote, I'm not sure who laid out the buttons, but it seems like they put them on without much thought to how the clock would be used. Buttons that control similar options should be grouped together but they are spread out all around the remote which leaves me hunting for the button I need every time I pick up the remote. That being said, it has all of the most popular timers prebuilt and you can create custom timers as needed.
