On the surface this seems like a boat anchor of a leg press. The platform is small. The seat is what moves. The stack ain’t big. When a Y had for sale and no buyers I figured telling them it wasn’t worth $100 was a statement not a negotiation. $100 later it was in my gym and we moved out for a more versatile leg press. It is great to teach people to drive through a floor and the narrow plate forces a ton of quad focus. Now permanently on loan to a local Special Olympics team it’s still got life.

If you’re a bumper person, these are a really nice piece. They look really good, feel great in hand. And take a nice bounce. Do seem a little thicker than I’m used to in other brands but they also don’t have a big bevel cut.

Extremely overbuilt and will take any abuse someone throws at it. See multiple with the stickers warping, but that’s about the worst shade I can throw.

Some would say one brand is better over another. Folks - they are the same. In photo are York and Rogue. Tell me the key difference? These are functional and a reasonable price for new hex heads. I have not seen coating breakdown quickly in any of the gyms that have, and all are commercial spaces with heavy usage.

A really nice piece and I see as on par with any other brand. Never had a concern at 370 BW using, upholstery lasts, and the linear system is very nice compared to hinging models. If you find used, jump on it immediately!

Nothing crazy or that sets apart from any other slam ball. If you need it’s a solid grab. Cheaper options exist, and I’ve had great luck with the Amazon ones.

I own two of these benches and both are on loan. A lot of great concepts on the bench in the way it breaks down, and Rick would build any added safeties or amenities you wanted. A great and grippy pad as well. Knocked because I’ve had to repair welds more than once on a bench, and some of the fits require some precision or touch up drilling. All that said, I’ve benched a grand off them multiple times so it’s not like I didn’t trust them.

Other reviews are spot on. Know why these are always available on market place? Because they suck. Look good. Look cool. You’d think “how can Titan possibly screw up a clone like this?!?”, but they found a way. With a footprint bigger than needed, long loading arms that don’t seem up to the task, and “my first J-cups” catching the weight, it’s a train wreck for any serious amount of load. Buy the better option now if you plan on loading it up. Every gym I personally know that has bought has changed pieces.
