I got the BOB with the Dane 2.0 package I ordered. It is as good as any smith machine on any of my previous racks. Easy and quick install. I do not feel the seams between the posts which was a concern. The clamping mechanism is quick to get a bar setup. I just leave one of my bars in there. Few issues that are not show stoppers, but are good to know. It would be great to include another pair of mag pins for adjusting the bar starting height. I have to move it to the safeties, move the mag pins, re-hook the bar, then move the safeties to the new position. Specifically with the Dane 2.0, if you keep the top support with the Fringe Sports sign, the bolts get in the way of the hooks when racking and unracking. (See picture) This is only an issue for squats and I am 6’2” so others may not have the same issue. I could replace the sign support with the lower crossbeam without the sign, but I just work around it. Overall I am happy with it.

I used this to train for my first 100 mile bike ride. I replaced my old trainer with this because I wanted the direct drive option. I paired this with the Zwift app so that I could join the cycling community while working out at home. I found myself favoring workouts on this instead of going out on solo rides. My first one broke at about the 3 year mark. At that time I was using it on a daily basis for 45 minutes to an hour. I called Wahoo, and even though it was out of warranty, they offered to take it on trade in for a discounted replacement of a newer model. Their customer service was awesome and I would highly recommend them.

I purchased these in January 2026 to add a bumper plate option to my home gym. They were on sale so I only paid $1 per pound before shipping and $1.40 per pound after shipping. They are a great bumper plate option for the budget friendly gym owner.

I have owned my SelectTechs since around 2005. At the time they were revolutionary for adjustable dumbbells. They are very durable as long as you do not drop them on the floor. In the past few years, they are starting to have a few minor issues with plates sticking when adjusting the weight.

I really enjoy my Wall Control. I have two panels right now and probably will add another 2-5 as I continue to build out my home gym.

Bought this bench before I got in to the Home Gym community. I specifically bought it for the preacher curl pad and leg extension. It is a solid bench and good for the lower price for a basic bench. I really like the pop pin track adjustments on the back and the seat. The gap between the back pad and the seat is very wide but I can work around that with my lifts. The preacher curl pad does not allow you to fully extend your arms when the leg attachment is attached. You must remove it and it is a standard bold/nut combo not a quick release. The strength curve on the leg press/leg extension does not feel correct. If you are going to purchase this bench for a just a bench, it is a solid bench. I would not purchase it, like I did, for the attachments.

Purchased these in December 2025 to replace D Handles that came with my rack. Very versatile and work with any motion that I use them for. No issues with them getting in my way. The one drawback that I have found is that the rubber handles collect and hold dirt so it is best to clean them frequently.
