This is one of those things that makes my neighbors wonder if i should be in an institution when they see me carrying this around in my backyard. I found some Hulkfit spotter arms that I can use on this to use as an outdoor rack for benching when the weather gets nice. Got a great deal on this. Fringe’s customer service was excellent as always!
I got this as my “beater bar” and it’s probably too nice for that but I’d rather sacrifice a less expensive barbell for things like landmine work. This is an excellent value.
This works much better for me and is much more comfortable than trying to find the “sweet spot” on an edge of a bench. The sleeve kind of moves around a bit and I’m not sure of its purpose other than to show the branding. I may just remove that.
Having this is definitely better than not having this but it does move around a bit on me which is very annoying. Would be nice if you could attach it to the barbell in some way with maybe a Velcro loop or two.
The Echo Bike is a BRUTAL workout. It is very well made but the monitor could use a backlight or color or something. I’m sort of glad I have this but using it is just punishing cardio. The upside is that you can get in a great cardio session in a relatively short period of time.
Like all Concept 2 equipment, it’s designed and built well. Nothing fancy or dazzling but it totally delivers as an indoor bike. It’s very adjustable for a wide variety of users. The only real negative in my opinion is that I don’t find the seat very comfortable so I put a pad I got on Amazon on it.
I really love this piece of cardio. It, along with the RowErg, are the kings of “fun” cardio in my opinion. It’s also nice that it doesn’t take up a lot of space. Mine is bolted to the wall and is very secure!
