When I bought my house, the old owner tried to sell us a bunch of stuff. We replied "We would like everything except the elliptical please", and their counteroffer was "if you take the elliptical, you can have everything for free". The biggest downside was getting it from the upstairs office where it was (see picture) into the basement. Almost killed myself trying to do that solo. Anyway, now I own an elliptical. I actually use it sometimes, too. Despite hating the device, I can't give it less than 5 stars across the board, it was free, exceedingly heavy and well built, and works like an elliptical.

I wanted to love these. I wanted to be that rare soul who buys jammer arms actually gets a ton of use out of them. Unfortunately, I wasn't, and these currently sit disassembled on my gym shelf. The problem is that they're just so damn unwieldy. I added the gympin adapters for lateral movement, and the weight of the arms is enough that I just hate getting them on and off my rack, or changing the height. When they're on there, I really do like using them for the occasional movement. I haven't sold them though because I'm holding out hope. When I can expand my gym (which will be when my daughter no longer needs her play space in the basement), I'll pick up a cheap rack, some vendetta adapters, and like Marshall says in his review, be able to "do any machine exercise you want."

I really liked this, but ultimately sold it on Facebook marketplace. I just found that although I liked using it, I just used it so infrequently (once or twice a month, after squat days) that I couldn't justify it when I needed money for other gym equipment. I now rig something up with an adjustable bench and ancore unit, which isn't as good but it gets the job done.

I bought a standalone T-3 squat stand and added these to it to make a large weight plate display stand. Absolutely no complaints about them, really solid and well made.

These were my first adjustable dumbbells. Ultimately got rid of them. I have read that there is a recall on the ones I had because weights could fall off during use, never happened to me but motivated me to get rid of them. I also read that they break easily. I never had any unexpected drops with mine, although did bail from a couple failed benches. Mine didn't break, but I always worried they would. I think the big weakness is the whole mechanism. It's constructed such that even if you lift the minimum weight, the dumbbell has to bring its whole frame with it, so is probably poking 8-10" out on both sides of your hands. Gives some weird momentum.

Purports to turn any dumbbell into a kettlebell. I don't think it really does that, but it's a great piece of equipment. The reason I say that is simply that a dumbbell is not the same shape as a kettlebell, and very many kettlebell exercises just won't work with a large dumbbell poking out from the sides. I use an adjustable dumbbell, so the amount of length coming out the sides of the handle is generally pretty large That said, this gets a ton of use in my workouts because it works great for KB swings (you may just need a slightly wider stance), and that's an exercise I program frequently. It's always just faster to clip this onto a DB than it is to dig up a kettlebell.

This thing looks like an honest to God monstrosity. If you have one of those elegant, minimalist workout spaces this will wreck your day That said, it gets a lot of ironmaster attachments stored vertically. You'll have to do a bit of work to Tetris all your attachments on there since not everything will fit in every port, to and there are a few extensions (hyperextension attachment, I'm looking at you) that just don't go on. Once you solved the what goes where problem, though, excellent piece of gym organization equipment

I really like this calf raise. Is it expensive compared to a couple of 2x4s? Yep. That said, I would buy this again in a heartbeat. The curve feels really good on the feet, and feels like I spend more time focusing on my calves than on my for position relative to a sharp corner. The material grips great, the height is enough that I get to fill stretch.
