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.

For a budget bumper plate, there's not much to complain about. They look good, the metal hub allows them to slide on/off the sleeve easily, and they are just a couple millimeters larger in diameter than my cast iron 45s which means that if you load both versions, the bumpers should hit the ground first. I'm pretty sure Gluck did a very thorough review of all bumpers and their build quality, and how the hub was connected was the biggest differentiator between the plates. In a home gym, I'm not worried about long term durability, these should never fail. The one thing to be aware of is the 10s are very thin and prone to warping, especially if dropped. I would not recommend dropping a bar with only 10s, they are likely to deform.

Titan offers a very budget friendly kettlebell that has a traditional shape, and available weight increases in 5lb increments. I personally purchased singles in 10lb increments from 15lb thru 75lbs. I'm very pleased with these but to be fair, I've never used any other type, so I have nothing to compare them to. The one thing to be aware of, which doesn't affect functionality at all, is that the lighter weights have the branding and weight painted or stamped on both sides while the heavier ones, starting at 50 or 55, has a stamp on one side and just the weight molded into the back side. I found this hard to read when the molded side was visible, so I took a white marker and filled in the depression, making that side much easier to read. You can see in my pic the difference between stamped and molded side. If you're looking for an affordable kettlebell, give these a try.

I do NOT recommend purchasing these change plates. They are rubberized on the inside of the hub and make it damn near impossible to slide on and off a bar. When these first arrived, I spent like 20 minutes sliding these on/off in an attempt to wear down the inside and make more room for them to fit onto the sleeve. Even after that, you are still sliding rubber over the sleeve which increases friction and doesn't allow them to slide smoothly. Once I realized Titan sold 10 bumper plates with metal hub, I replaced all of my change plates with 10lb bumpers, 5lb cast iron, and 2 1/2lb cast iron. Far better user experience.

For the premium features these offer, they are one helluva deal. As much as I would have liked to support the original, I simply could not justify the expense. These offered nearly identical features for a fraction of the price. The only difference between these and the original is that these come with 2 levers. However, I highly recommend only using a single lever. One lever holds enough for most use cases and is much easier to snap on and off. Snapping the second lever in place makes it super tight and increases the holding power but unsnapping is very difficult, particularly because when both levers are snapped, there is very little gap to get your fingers under to release. Once I realized you could get by with only snapping one side, I've never locked them both in again. This dramatically improves the usability of the collars. Oh yeah, and the integrated magnets are fantastic. I've glued magnets on my old collars but having them integrated is much preferrable.

These are a great addition to any home gym. The rings themselves are very smooth and feel great in the hand. The straps are wide and sturdy, and the adjustment mechanism works as expected. However, I had to ding it on build quality because they skimped by not providing incremental markings on the straps so you can quickly adjust each side to match. I used a white marker to put my own marks on the straps but if I were buying again, I would just buy a different set for slightly more money that already has markings on them.

Pound for pound, these are a solid cast iron plate that is both affordable, has a classic look, and all the weights were within tolerance. Unless you're a weight plate connoisseur, these are a good way to build out your plate collection without breaking the bank.
