So I got this from a friend that had to move so the price I paid was nothing compared to him. I have two of these bolted together allowing you to really fill out a large dumbbell set that I’m still working on. Overall the price for storage equipment is a lot and it has always been a deterrent for me but the organization is really important in home gyms and this definitely gets that job done. I do think the spacing is a little wonky though for rubber hex coated dumbbells as they get bigger.

This is a nice little short bar that is good for standard exercises like curls, rows, presses it just isn’t rackable. It was something I bought back in 2019 when I wasn’t as experienced with equipment and didn’t realize that it wouldn’t fit on a standard rack but I have kept it and pull it out every now and then if I need it. Also would probably be good for a beginner as well learning how to do some basic movements

This was a game changer for me with Bulgarian split squats and inverted row variations. Everyone has experienced putting the rear foot on the bench and how uncomfortable or awkward that is. As someone who has rolled their ankles many times in their youth trying to use the bench was just never good for my foot. Once I got this piece I never had to worry about that again and it is just a much safer item. I totally recommend it in the home gym

This is the daily driver bar, it is used mainly in my gym for squat, bench variations, overhead press work, rows etc. the knurling is great and the quality of it stands out when observing the bar. Can’t recommend it enough

Big fan of these kettlebells I’ve used them for various exercises and will also use them on my free standing pulley system for rows and pulldowns.

I like this piece a lot but the one thing that is a defect on mine is the piece that holds your weight and swings was off. There is a piece under the padding that is supposed to fit flush with that separate piece, but when I was putting mine together it doesn’t line up and I had to force it to fit. If you were to look closely at mine you’d see the screw is cockeyed but somehow it hasn’t broken or failed on me, however I am worried that when I need to take it apart it won’t go back together. I think this is just how a company like Titan does things to be honest and sometimes a person will just get that one unlucky piece. Other than that though it is a good piece for what it is intended for.

These are what I have for my 45s in iron in the home gym. They are reasonably priced and definitely get the job done but they aren’t pretty in any way. The only thing I’d say that is bothersome is I have 1 pair that must have been put in a weird mold because it came out cone shaped and looks visibly different on the bar when it’s next to the others but that is what you get for something like this is what I’d imagine. Other than that though I’d say they are solid for just gripping and ripping!

This is a good budget friendly piece that I got when I first started the gym. I do think these days there are probably better versions of this piece but I’d say this is still viable. Plate loaded piece that can definitely hold a decent bit of weight. I’d say my only gripe with the piece is that you can’t lift the foot pad a few notches higher when doing leg curls there is a point where it just won’t let you go any further.
