For the price you can't go wrong. This obviously won't replace an adjustable bench, but if already have one and are looking from something for overhead press, triceps extension, or even a bench for cable seated rows, this will check those boxes. It's easy to assemble, has good wheels for moving around, is light but durable, and the vinyl is top tier quality. I don't think there's any other similarly priced utility bench on the market that offers this level of quality and performance. Probably one of the best things Titan has produced.

The downside is that this piece of equipment is designed for only one movement (nordic curls). However, it checks every box if you're looking for something with a small footprint to hammer your hamstrings on leg day. I have an earlier version that couldn't store upright, but I believe this has been remedied with new iterations. The wheels make it easy to cart around my gym and the storage peg on the back provides a nice counterweight so you don't tip the machine over. The vinyl is high quality and grippy which is must for this type of machine. The leg rollers will hold you in place and I've never felt unbalanced using this machine. Given that many competitors in this space take up a lot more room, I would highly recommend this piece for those just starting to build their home gym out or for those that have a small footprint to work with. Nordics are absolutely S tier hamstring developers and there are lots of variations you can use to scale according to your abilities. Before I got a leg extension/leg curl, I was using this machine exclusively for hamstring isolation movements on my lower body days.

Bought this piece because of the functionality and price point. I've since upgraded the pulleys that came with the unit from nylon to aluminum. The nice thing is, the standard build of this unit is just fine and if you're looking to upgrade, the 1 inch holes allow for Titan or other brand attachments. I upgraded the safeties from what came with the unit as well as the aforementioned pulleys and also put on a pair of jammer arms. The result is an all-in one rack that cost a fraction of REP or Rogue. However, it does come with some tradeoffs. The spotter arms that come with the unit are extremely short and while they are adequate for bench press, I'm not sure I would trust them with heavy rack pulls or squats. Also, note that the overall design of the machine makes squatting inside of the rack almost impossible. You'll be extremely close to the pulley system when you're racking or unracking the weight. However, I'm nitpicking. The pulleys are smooth and the system itself is extremely sturdy. If you already have weights and don't mind unracking and racking the weight, I think this is a terrific option. Ritfit gives clear assembly instructions and while it is time consuming to build, it never felt frustrating or overwhelming. Shipping and ordering was also extremely easy. I'd say this is a good introductory piece or supplemental piece if you already have a more robust squat stand from a major brand.

Initial impressions: one beefy boy. Way more sturdy and overbuilt than I expected. It came almost fully assembled which was a huge plus. Wheels aren’t great. Stores upright and the adjustable headrest is a cool feature I can see getting a ton of usage out of. The padding is a slight step down from REP but still quality. Tons of nice details. Won’t be my daily driver for bench press but I’ll be using it for all my accessory stuff.

If you've ever wanted a smith machine for your home gym I can't recommend this piece enough. Lat pulldown and low row both are smooth and you can easily swap out for aluminum pulleys for an even smoother experience. The smith machine isn't the most top tier on the market, but that's a tradeoff you're going to have to make given the price point. There is virtually no knurling to speak of on the bar, and it isn't counterbalanced, so there is a starting weight. However, if you use 3 in 1 on the poles, the smith machine function is smooth and uniform. The safeties work just fine and there is an added pullup bar, landmine attachment, and band pegs. Overall, this is complementary if someone already has a traditional rack and is looking to integrate a smith machine into their routine. It's a viable alternative but keep in mind that it does carry with it a footprint that is almost the same as a power rack, so you will need ample space. Using some DIY, I was able to rig this system to support a homemade belt squat. So there's a huge degree of versatility here for an affordable price point. For the price, it's well built, but just don't expect Rep or Rogue like build quality.

Ohhhhh Titan. What can I say? This box is an absolute tank. The first one that arrived was almost impossible to adjust. No matter how much 3 in 1 oil I put, the tubing just would not go down without using a rubber hammer. I reached out to customer service and they sent me a replacement at no charge. The second one is easier to adjust, but it's still extremely heavy and awkward to move. That being said, it will absolutely support you during box squats or whatever else you are looking to use this for. Because I have two, I've been able to use them for elevated belt squats. There's a lot you can do, but maneuvering them around your home gym is a pain and really takes away from their practical utility.

Absolutely one of my favorite additions to my home gym. For $300 you can't go wrong. I've been able to simulate countless commercial gym movements with this piece. Incline chest press, overhead press, lever squats, reverse hypers, shrugs, flat chest press, lat pulldown, low row, etc. The fact that the arms can be used individually or connected just further adds to the variety. While the overall suggested weight capacity is somewhat low and the weight horns don't really allow for stacking a ton of bumper plates, I think this is one of the first things I would recommend after a power rack/bench/barbell/dumbbells. It requires some creativity but there's just so much that can be done with this one piece. Not to mention it doesn't take up that much real estate.

This is one beefy boy and is probably the most "commercial" piece of equipment in my home gym. It comes in a giant crate and took about 6 hours to assemble by myself. Once complete it probably weighs about 800 lbs, so be sure where you want it. It takes up a little more than a horse stall in terms of space. The leg press is smooth but the bearings do generate some noise while lifting. The leg press gives a total range of motion and allows for adjustability on both the back pad and leg plate. Because of the angle, the weight on this leg press feels heavier than its precor counterparts. The hack squat is just as smooth and will allow most lifters to get a full range of motion (although for some it may be just short of full ATG). Customer service kept me informed throughout the process and the price point when I purchased it was extremely reasonable. I'd highly recommend for anyone looking to get a leg press hack squat combo that is on the higher end of home gym quality. One last thing to add is the calf block is a nice touch and because of the long shoulder cushions the machine can also be used as a reverse hack squat.
