I think rep has started producing really good bars. They make the best end caps in the business. This is a great bar with a good price for doing olympic lifts which is why I bought it.

I really like the abmat products in general and this is the original. I think it works great for situps but I bought it as a bit of a hack. I use it to make a great headrest for my leg press.

I got this bench just to have in this room for doing dumbbell and ez curl bar work etc. This is a great value as it is the least expensive Rep bench and all rep benches are good. It has good padding and grip. It is also adjustable to flat or incline.

This is a good solid bar. A bit heavy but that can be good for some people. This came with the ares 2.0 and it works great.

Value for these is going to be subjective but I really like them and find them useful. There are two main uses to me and they are for strongman training which I don't do but a cool way to do deadlifts from elevated bar position kind of like a block pull.

Typical straight bar that works great for triceps pushdowns etc. We got it from rep as part of our ares 2.0 and it has been great. It is very heavy and sturdy.

This has been a nice addition to the gym. It is very useful. I like the built in timers and option to customize. This has been useful for things like timing rest or entire workout and of course running a timer like emom for doing cardio circuits.

Basement Brandon recommended these and we are very happy with them. This is from Marcus at twisted barbell on YouTube and he did a great job. We have this red one on red bench and a blue one on the blue bench. Having our own gym logo on our equipment was a nice touch to the gym.
