Certainly it will!

Also, does it have a pause button?

The dimension are adequate, I am 6ft2, long legs and size 12 shoes and have no complaints. Unless someone told me, in a blind test I wouldn’t really notice comparatively

Yes, the play button is also the pause button, just not labeled as such.

Awesome. Ordered mine! Thank you

Thank you! Check out my RUclips shorts page - I have a more in depth video on the dumbbell spotters/stand.

Unfortunately, I don’t think you would be able to get it upstairs since it’s so heavy and awkward to carry, but as you mentioned, I would also imagine the stepping on the stairs at higher speeds of the stair climber would be loud enough for neighbors to hear. Not ridiculously loud but still probably loud enough.

The dumbbells have 10LB increments on the weight selectors but if you visit their website you can get the add on plates to achieve the increments of 2.5 LB (1.25 plate each side) and 5 LB (2.5 LB plate a side). This is for each handle/dumbbell

Glad you appreciated that, thankfully I was still within in the Amazon return window other I would have buried it in my backyard too!

Don’t think I can paste a link in the comments but from the Amazon product page - CRC Extreme Duty Open Gear & Chain Lube 03058 I literally just sprayed it on any visible parts of the chain I could between the stairs, the overspray made a huge mess all over the stairs for sure. Just kept rotating the stairs after a few sprays each side till the chain was fully lubricated (ish).

@@TheJungleGymRUclips Thank you! I also wanted to ask, how have you kept it looking brand new? Mine has scuff marks all over it but yours looks shiny and spotless. Did you clean it or polish it with anything?

I think the video camera makes mine look much better than it is! I wouldn’t say mine is scratched or dinged but when you see in person you can see it’s not spotless for sure, I definitely don’t do anything besides wipe it down with all purpose cleaner once every few months

Thank you! I hadn’t seen anybody else give a in depth review of this, especially not with a years worth of use to boot, so hoping it highlights this as a viable long term home gym cardio option.

Thanks for the feedback! Especially comparing the costs as of today, I don’t really see how STEPR would be a good option for most people. There will always be people who have the specific need for something small or technology forward, or might even prefer smaller steps. I have had quite a few requests for a gym tour video, so will have to bump that higher on my filming priorities!

Great video. Me and the wife are building out the home gym and really want a stairmaster but couldn’t wrap our head around paying the steep prices of the stepr and other competitors. I think we will give this one a shot!

Thank you. And Yes for the price it really can’t be beat, especially adding the cheap warranty for the piece of mind - worst case solution they give you your money back or a replacement. But I’ve used mine a ton with no issues so have been overall very happy. Hope it goes well for you!

I am definitely planning to do an in depth one in the next few months! There was definitely alot of planning and thought in the selection of the specific rack components, equipment, and overall layout of the gym to make it all best bang for buck/space.

That’s a great question and the answer is straps yes, versa grips kinda. In my experience versa grips on both hands you have to rotate your wrists alot to “roll them under” a bit more and that’s when you do hit the cage, but if you are doing one arm rows for example and have a free hand it makes it easier to tuck. Straps were just fine with both hands just have to use a shorter area to tuck them under your hand due to the bars. Hope this helps.

@@TheJungleGymRUclips thank you very much!

I had the Titan Fitness urethanes, they were the same as the Rogue ones at my gym. They were good dumbbells but the knurling on these Pepin’s is better than any at any gym I have used in my whole life. I have a few more reviews I’m filming now for some other gym items, eventually I will get to that power rack and/or a gym tour so I’ll try to get that on the list of upcoming videos! Thanks for watching

Do you mean how is it standing up?

Yep they have a rolling time frame for pre-orders. While filming this video I think it was July/August timeframe. Still worth the wait

Oh yeah, it’s “locked” in and spring loaded. And Even if you push the selector pin out, you would have to also simultaneously slide the selector down the rail and overcome a lot of weight/friction force in order to lose any weight plates. you would have to have a 2 point failure which is practically impossible

So I take it you have owned both?

@@narigon3942 No.. but Titan asking price is terrible...... when you have better and cheaper choices on the market..

Coming soon!

Where’s the review?

@corywarren2143 coming out next week!

Glad I could help! Based on their other 2 products I own I thought this one would at least be comparable functionally, and even if it was a one-off malfunction, for it to happen to quickly into its lifespan and under really normal use, does not make me recommend this one.

That makes total sense and is honestly great advice to people equipping their gym on any budget, unless money is literally of no object! I fell into “trial” category with the stairclimber and the leg press I bought. The stairclimber has lasted a year and I’ve been using it a ton so if it ever breaks I know paying more would be worth it.

Hey there, I have a RUclips Shorts video on my main channel that goes over that setup in more detail. Regarding your second question, I can’t speak to that question since I’ve only ever mounted completely horizontally. I assume they can be placed on an angle dumbbell stand but there might be some impact to racking and unracking with friction between the weights due to the angle. But also probably dependent on how much of a an angle.

That’s the beauty of the new collab, enjoy!

I’ve seen people use zip ties, the weight of the dumbbells and/or cradle is enough to keep it in place since you have to lift the dumbbells vertically anyways out of the cradle, so there isn’t enough side to side force to move it. Haven’t needed anything else in 9 months

Thank you, I will definitely be doing a tour in the near future. The stand I talk about in more details in one of my RUclips Shorts, head over to my channel videos to see the one about the stand!

@@TheJungleGymRUclips Thankyou!

Feels like a concept 2 clone it was designed to be, but with a couple glaring caveats that I think need to be addressed - should have this review posted in the next week or so, stay tuned!

1. I will say for movement with normal speeds they are silent, if you are throwing them/moving them really fast/changing gravitational direction quickly then they will have some noise. This is a byproduct of the interlocking weight plates which need some small tolerances in order not to stick 2. The weight increments don’t make any noise because they are “locked” in via a spring pin rather than interlocking like the normal weight plates 3. Yes, they only come in pairs so you put 1.25 on each side for a total of 2.5LB increment and same for 2.5 each side for 5LB increment, so it is completely and evenly balanced. 4. Sorry I am not familiar with Nuobells new upgrade/design but I think GGR just did a recent review, hope you can find the info you are looking for there

Hey, I think that’s a fair point. In trying to keep my videos short compared to a lot of the other gym equipment creators, I am leaving technical details to a minimum for people to check our product specs on the corresponding website(s). That being said I will consider adding some basic info in the coming reviews, thanks for watching.

Hey thanks for the heads up, I can’t find it. Would you mind going to my channel page > about tab, and emailing me the link?

Thank you, I am still trying to fine tune some production and editing logistics on my end and hopefully the videos will only continue to get better in terms of both content and quality. Stay tuned!

They work great, I have no issues or complaints whatsoever with them. They don’t change the feel or the weight distribution of the dumbbell, And they definitely don’t fall off or anything…

Where do you store the 5lbs adder weights when not in use? Is there a spot for them in the cradle?

There is not a spot for them on the cradle. I have some hitch pins nearby that they sit on, since they have a “U” shaped cutout and slot right on top of the hitch pins. Band pegs would also work

I am sorry to hear that, that has not been any of my experience whatsoever. Have you reached out to Pépin for any suggestions on the plates sticking or flying off as you say? I can’t imagine David would be able to help you if you sent a video. They have a lifetime warranty too

I have these too and have none of those experiences

I plan to do some quick walk through via RUclips Shorts paired with a more in depth full video walkthrough in the coming months. Stay tuned for those

Yes. Please. It looks like your rig is well thought out. No issues with the DYI dumbbell rack getting in the way of lat pull-downs or anything?

None at all, I made it the perfect height to where the dumbbell spotters have about 1 inch gap above my knees during lat pulldowns, but still low enough to comfortable rack and unrack heavy weights from the cradle when I am standing. It has worked perfectly for as long as I have had the whole rack and dumbbell setup!

Yep, I meant it was more similar to an OPB vs. a normal dumbbell. The volcano knurling (not sure if people would know what that was) has the perfect depth and peak, which feels just my OPB. Most dumbbells I’ve used in my life, even in commercials gym, are more passive

@@TheJungleGymRUclips Nice. These really look like the most durable and affordable adjustables ever created

To be honest I don’t do wrist curls often so I can’t speak too much to it, but I went and tried and you can get a full ROM

@@TheJungleGymRUclips Thank you!

Inspire SF3 it’s the smith machine/trainer combo. Have had it for 2 years and love that too. Eventually I plan to do a long term review of that’s one too

@@TheJungleGymRUclips I can't wait for it to come out. I have to look into this one, I originally wanted an SCS but got the FT2 because of space in my store!

@michaelmarcano9200 my buddy snagged a great deal on the FT2, I already have a lat pull so I only needed cable crossover. This was before REP and everyone started making rack integrated functional trainers

You can use straps on these, I have for heavy rows and heavy RDLs.

@@TheJungleGymRUclips thanks!

These are more heavy duty, go heavier, and don’t take that long to adjust. If you’re not wanting to lift more then 90 then sure you have no need to get these.

Nuos blow.

These are super fast to adjust, what are you talking about?

Nuos suck compared to the Pepins. They are a toy compared to how the Pepins are designed, materials used, and built.

There is no comparison. These blow nuobells out of the water.

Check out my channel, I posted a RUclips Shorts video about it! It is really just dependent on the height of the dumbbell stand/rack you have them on.

The side supports actually make it much easier to do this exercise and also hammer curls because in both exercises the side supports allow you to use a neutral grip so it’s actually more comfortable than a traditional dumbbell fitting both hands around the dumbbell head
