We are really enjoying this as another piece of cardio. I like to do a circuit where I spend a minute on each piece of equipment and then do rounds of that for like 20 minutes. This thing is good quality and works great. The only negative to this is not the actual equipment but the price. If you have the budget for it then it is worth it. I also like the options to attache it rack or wall. We went with wall to get even more height. The resistance can be pushed up pretty high and it can be a tough workout.

This review is more from my wife. She loves this thing and all it can do. I will say that they advertise it does a ton but really to me the main things are reverse hypers, ghr, back extension, situps, and nordic curls. It is well made and once you understand how to set it up then it is not hard and goes quickly. For the money I think it does a lot. Also this is one piece of equipment and not 5 taking up more room.

We really like the fixed ez curl bars from Titan. I think this is one of their more quality products. We enjoy being able to just pick them up and go as opposed to the previous adjustable ez curl bar we had. They are also urethane so no rubber smell. I like the bar diameter as it is a nice thicker grip. You can buy them as a set or like us one at a time.

While I have a PR5000 with Ares 2.0 I love having a second PR 5000 as a "clean" rack. I again went with 6 post and 93 inch height and 41 inch depth. I thought if I did it over I would get clean rack and separate functional trainer so instead of selling things and doing that just kept the ares 2.0 as smith and functional trainer and got another rack as the clean rack. This is great as we were able to choose another color as they have good color choices. Also with the 3x3 and 1 inch holes we were able to add some attachments from other companies.

We love the rep products and especially the PR5000 with Ares 2.0. This is not only a good rack but also a good functional trainer with a large weight stack (since we went with upgrade for the stack). We like the choice of colors and the fact that it is essentially 3x3 with 1 inch holes it has worked for some attachments from other companies. We like the choices of heights and depth and went with 6 post with 93 inch height and 41 inch depth which gave us a lot of room. I think the price is also really good for Rep compared to other brands.

We really like this machine. I think it is a good value. The weight stack was larger than the other brands. I have v2 and the v3 is even better as it has more range of motion and gives better stretch at the beginning for leg extension.

We love this machine. It has a very large weight stack and bands can be added. The range of motion and height is great. It was a straight forward assembly. I think the price is great on it. I love that for rows you can use a seat and not have to do it from the floor. It is very nice to have this as a separate piece and not have to use the one on the rack/functional trainer.

We have been overall happy with this piece so far. It was the only one we could find from the normal home gym manufactures we buy from. It has an issue with range of motion where when doing tricep extension it is fine but on bicep curls it can be hard to get a full stretch before the plate stack hits back down. It does have a good weight stack. Also it has a nice shroud over the weight stack that looks nice and provides a cup holder and phone holder etc at top. This feels very solid and it operates very smoothly.
