actually this really opens the door for my camelbak/soloflex collab where I've got the dial a plate system but the center of the grip is hollow and has a tube clipped to your shoulder so you can hydrate without stopping
They used like 60 dollars worth of stainless Swedish steel, add in the equipment, manufacturing and the fact that they would need to hire people with pretty high hourly rate the mugs would need to be outrageously expensive. Would not make sense for them to scale up production and then look like clowns once the hype and people who want to buy 300 dollar mugs (plus like 100 in shipping) are gone. They are defiantly losing money on the 300 they made.
I thought the CEO said they were losing money on each unit. No way for us to verify but likely true plus it takes staff away from producing actual equipment. They should’ve reached out to a factory in Asia and had them produce and get a volume discount at 5,000 mugs or whatever quantity they needed to hit. They still could do so…
The decision makers at Eleiko are idiots for not listening to customer demand. Guarantee people would happily pay whatever they want to charge for the mug.
If there's a 15lb or 10lb mug that actually is useable, I would definitely buy it! The fact that some fitness company hasn't marketed this as a new "mug club" is crazy
@@cooluser23I looked it up and it looks like a random brand of insulated bottles. They're also pretty overpriced, by the looks of it. At least these mugs seem a bit more unique, but I would like something better designed before I buy one - namely, I'd want more capacity, a safer design (to prevent wrecking your teeth), and/or adjustable weights.
CNC machine time is not cheap, even when you already own the machine. Most of the people screaming "I'd buy one" wouldn't actually buy one at the price they'd have to sell it at to make a profit.
@@dwaynesykes694 True, except that they're already seen proof twice now that the demand is NOT being overhyped. They sold out twice. Obviously that demand isn't unlimited, but they can certainly profit off making more.
its quite literally.. not printing money. mugs are often cheap. most average people wouldnt pay the asking price of a dense steel CNC milled mug. high material cost, high manufacturing cost. you cant just pop these things out on a belt. sure if you built an entire factory around it, but who knows in a month when hype dies down and now you just have a mug factory.. theres a reason they made 300 and not 300k.. its a timely process.
The idea that you're getting in some muscle stimulus throughout the workday with this heavy mug, constantly seeing their branding and associating them with weights... it's great product. They should keep doing limited runs every few months, or package them with an order of barbells/equipment over a certain price. Or just drink your coffee with a mortar and pestle.
honestly if they sold these mugs not only would I buy multiple of them myself, but it would create brand loyalty like a gateway to their other products.
I don’t think this would define them as a mug company. It’s just an accessory and if they only made one type of thing like this everyone would still know them as an equipment company. Just cause Xbox makes a mini fridge doesn’t make them an appliance company lol.
Rather than the Xbox mini fridge, which was made by another company licensing the design from Microsoft, I'd say that it's more appropriate to compare it to how Nintendo still makes trading cards.
@@Alexanderthegr800 See, that's precisely it! Nintendo started out as a card company, and they still make and sell them (in Japan only). But anyone would say that they're a video game company when asked.
I just came across this product 11 gauge steel 3 x 3 updates with articulating arms, and it uses weight stack and plate loaded and you can utilize both stacks. To me this is heaven the answer we've all been looking for can't wait to see this thing come out and some reviews on it before I pull the trigger
I like it. It shows the humanity behind the brand. Often times high-end brands in any industry take themselves too seriously, and don't offer up any humility - let alone a mea culpa when something goes wrong. The backfired launch makes me like the company more.
So definitly funny that this video came out after he met with the people at Eleiko.... So I think a lot of people do not seem to understand why this triggered such frustration with the Company. It has nothing to do with having a limited/exclusive product. It was entirely how the Company acted towards their customers and then responded to the frustrations. I really think they don't understand how much goodwill and brand value they damaged in the response. I know this is a luxury brand at the end of the day and so ultimately it probably won't matter as many people cannot afford their products.
Won't they lose money on producing mugs over bars? It's a cool novelty item but it's not practicle. It will most likely just stand on a shelf and collect dust where as a dumbell will be picked up several times per week and benifit your health.
A whole bunch of entitled people don’t understand how limited releases work and can’t comprehend a company choosing their own production desires & vision over mass meme hysteria.
This is missing a lot of the reason people were and still are upset. The website was down for 2-4 hours. They had a back door link that they were picking and choosing who to give that link to. In the only instagram response they never apologize for the poor preparation. Or inconvenience put on the customers. An overall lack of accountability has been demonstrated and it’s disheartening and disappointing.
good thing i am a machinist and can make one exactly looking like theirs for probably around 20-50€ material cost xD. Gonna do one with some brass accents maybe
They could do limited yearly runs with the year of manufacture printed on it, sort of like how hallmark dates yearly collections of Christmas ornaments. Since the demand is so high, have a sign up that fills the order list randomly from the signup list and limit only 1 order per person. Then the mug production has a limited time so its not using too much manufacturing capacity from the barbells, etc. But ultimately, it seems they're missing an easy market segment. I'm surprised rogue didn't jump on this. Crossfitters would die to have such CF swag all over their houses.
Baldwin, actually. A company that went out of business, but were made in Kansas City. I have a few Ebbets Field Caps as well, but they got bought out recently and I've heard their quality went down quite a bit.- Coop
What was NOT mentioned by Coop was that some people received a special link that was functional. Others received links that DID NOT WORK. The reason why there is so much anger is that we were LIED TO. They pretended that it was an equal chance of getting the mug, when in actuality, only the ones with the link containing "lithium" in it would actually work and the others would not. . Don't know if Coop just didn't do his research or he is ignoring this key fact and being a shill. Many of us feel like we were kicked in the teeth became we were not "the chosen ones" that got the functional link. If this was an equal sale, then the limited release would not be an issue. However, when you LIE to people and only provide working links (with lithium in this link), that is a major issue. It is outright deceitful.
@@GarageGymReviews Thanks for the reply. It is pretty frustrating to wait for hours pressing refresh while others found out about the "lithium" link and were able to pick one up. Betrayal is the only word that comes to mind.
After this Eleiko Heavy Mug debacle and I can assure you, as a frequent gym goer and life long lifter I will never purchase another Eleiko product again. Mainly because I can't afford anything they sell and I had never purchased anything from them before anyways. SoOoOo anyways..
They should bore that out more to make it 15lbs. Then do a 10lb and a 5lb version. This is definitely a product that people would buy. The empty yeti I carry around with me everyday is over 4lbs. At 5lbs, they would find customers who aren’t buying it for exercise, but for an heirloom quality mug. People love high quality materials and beautiful machining.
Honestly the reaction from people on reddit and even some on this video are insane, its like nobody has ever been through a limited edition of anything before, this is all standard, even the whole thing with the links and some people getting sent some that work and some that dont, its all random, thats how these limited editions work. when you are selling 150 at a time and you are getting tens of thousands of people trying at the same time, there has to be some way for the website to diferentiate who gets what. you werent lucky enought to get it so just leave it at that, its an awesome april fools joke and we are lucky they made 300 of them in the first place
so they sold you overpriced, overengineered , in real life useless product that you didn't even need and their community loves them for it ? my god they are genius , I think we should look more into this and maybe make phones 20 times as heavy or car that barely moves as heavy as it is! without a joke genius move from them, the power of internet and knowing their community paid so well
FYI - I saw the reference to the 'leak' by Rogue. They did actually presale it for 72 hours in January, for a total of 20kg :) This is quite the trend. I was just @ Rogue HQ, and the prototype looked awesome!!
JD Gym Equipped was limited run too. I was able to get one and requested an extra aggressive knurl and a center line on my handle. I like his version because he didn’t utilize bolts on top and bottom of handle. He also has a much more utilitarian version of a Yeti with a barbell handle grip that is a 20oz capacity. I got a few of those too
Just looked at the website and they are taking pre orders But $180 for the 17lb and $219 for the 22lb No thanks. I can do a lot of stuff with that much money then buy a gimmick mug lol.
This would be so cool to get. But, one thing you mentioned is a real danger with this - breaking a tooth; this thing being so heavy and wobbly, definitely has the inertia and mass to do it. All it takes is a bit of wrist weakness and instead of drinking, you'll get a dentist bill...
I'm trying to think what the easiest way at home to DIY this. The best I can think of is taking a flower pot, filling it with cement, and sinking a regular coffee mug into it while it's still wet. Not sure how you'd attach the handle, other than knocking the coffee mug handle off and crazy-gluing it to the pot.
Second idea would be taking an insulated coffee mug, removing the insulation and adding cement. Would be hard to get up to 20lbs though, unless it was unusually large
It would be such a good training… i do judo for 17 years now… i also work in it, so i often have a mug in one hand, scroll through code with the other one and just try to find out, what’s going on… such a mug would be really useful… have to make one myself…
Hilarious, I met some of the marketing team at a fitness trade show and heard this tale first hand. I remember seeing this advertisement when it was live and of course missed the sale. Great video.
I absolutely love this, never heard of the company but this is awesome. I dont need a 20lb mug that only holds 3ozs but man they hit on something cool here! However id love a 9 or 10 or 12lb mug that holds 8 to 10 ozs and had a half ass lid for travel and using around a shop or job site. Very very cool idea and video!
Too bad lead and food is a bad idea.. could make it twice as dense as steel if it was lead filled. Tungsten is even heavier, and food safe, but.. expensive.
I would be so hype if they made a Stanley cup shape, but make it hold a reasonable amount of liquid, and make the entire bottom part billet steel so its still heavy
Heres something you may find interesting. :) The name of my country has nothing to do with the interesting and delicious bird ''turkey''...... .....but the name of the bird does have a connection with the name of my country, let me explain. :) Name of my country has always been Türkiye, it's been known as such since around the 1200's. The name it self has a suffix, '' -iye '', that is Turk-iye, where the -iye suffix means 'land of/belonging to', just like the Latin suffix of '' -ia '', which exists in such country names like Austr-ia, Austral-ia, Latv-ia, Roman-ia etc etc again meaning 'land of/belonging to'. Many would remember the country Czechoslovak-ia which changed it's name to Czech Republic and a few years ago changed that to Czechia (that is Czech-ia). The Latin suffix -ia probably originates from Turkish -iye as Turkish is much older, ancient Turkish been over ten thousand years old. Spelled in different languages in different ways to phonetically resemble '' Türkiye '' we got various spellings like; Turquía (in Spanish), Turchia (in Italian), Turquie (in French) Turkei (in Germn) and Turkey (in English) all trying to resemble the pronounciation of ''Turk-ia'' thus Turkiye. Mind you this was way before the animal we currently know as 'turkey'' was found by the europeans when they explored the north americas. The bird was first sent to europe from north americas in the year 1519, so up until that point there was no bird named 'turkey'.... ...they came across the bird and thought it was a specie of the fowl/chicken they had been buying from the country of Turkiye at the time, so they named the bird ''Turkey Fowl'' meaning ''Turkish Chicken''..... ....just like how a dog breed is known as German Shepherd (because it's from Germany), American Bulldog, British Terrier, Greek Harehound etc etc. In time you don't get to call the Greek Harehound as simply as ''Greek''; or you don't call the British Terrier as ''British''; or the German Shepherd as ''German'', but in time the Turkish Fowl started to be called just ''Turkey'' and later ''turkey'', and has been going on for hundreds of years. Now in modern times, this is causing confusion, especially when we have people across the world unable to point to their own country on the map, this ''confusion over the naming'' needed to be corrected. So my country decided to rectify this confusion that has been going on for so long and corrected the name to Türkiye, which it always was. Basically we didn't change the name of our country, we changed the mistake made in the English language. : ) So, there's some tid bit information for you to have a great day, if you read upto this point you have a great night too, ohh just have a wonderfull life. : ) Best wishes. ;)
Its refreshing when companies stick to their vision and dont sell out just for the sake of money. You know if any large company put this out they would milk the concept for all its worth, thered be limited editions, collabs etc. But also I wish they did go in on it cause I want one lol
I get they don’t want to be in the mug business, it could easily tie up half their machines cranking these out. That doesn’t mean they can’t hire a contract manufacturer to pump these things out. This is the first I’m hearing of this and now I want one. Maybe a bit lighter, I need more than 3oz of coffee in the morning.
well now i want two ! I never knew this existed , i do not drink coffee . but i want two of these now ! Because you can't have just one ! Weights come in pairs , because most of us have two arms .
As a hobby welder and machinist, I can't see a solid SS machined mug being any way profitable. 4in solid 304ss round, 12in long is $315 and 42lbs. If it's 316ss it's $380. Plus the machining labor and welding. I don't ever make stuff from SS because it's sooo exp, unless I have to. Matching and welding SS is also more difficult.

Ya those idiot billionaires
It is really difficult to make a new type of product for a company, you need to have the whole process of production for it.
@@julienl.3327it’s a pretty simple design and they already managed to produce 300 of them. They could make more if they wanted
Right? Not wanting to be a mug brand is a ridiculous excuse.

I'd make it loadable with a top that has a straw/tube hole so you can get your breakfast reps in while drinkin coffee
Using tungsten it could probably be done. But it would be expensive af.
I'd guess it would be quite useless for coffee. Except if one likes cold coffee. Or you need to microwave the mug first to keep your coffee hot.

I want the mug. They need to shut down one of their barbell making places and make mugs for a year, so everyone that wants a mug can get a mug.
It would be such a good training… i do judo for 17 years now… i also work in it, so i often have a mug in one hand, scroll through code with the other one and just try to find out, what’s going on… such a mug would be really useful… have to make one myself…
Imagine explaining to someone that you broke your toe because you dropped your mug on it lmao. 😂
I got xmaster fitness knockoff, I can vouch that it is of good quality and its so much fun to have when drinking with friends.
Hilarious, I met some of the marketing team at a fitness trade show and heard this tale first hand. I remember seeing this advertisement when it was live and of course missed the sale.
Great video.
Good! Now you can get the adjustable one.
It's a rare thing for a company to say no to money being shoved in their face
That’s a dumb CEO. Turn down demand?
They should treat this as merchandise for their brand. like a cap, tshirt, mug, for the sake of brand loyalty
I absolutely love this, never heard of the company but this is awesome. I dont need a 20lb mug that only holds 3ozs but man they hit on something cool here! However id love a 9 or 10 or 12lb mug that holds 8 to 10 ozs and had a half ass lid for travel and using around a shop or job site. Very very cool idea and video!
Too bad lead and food is a bad idea.. could make it twice as dense as steel if it was lead filled. Tungsten is even heavier, and food safe, but.. expensive.
Time to live the Zoldyck Family lifestyle.
This thing is basically a weapon and a dumbbell at the same time🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I want one!! If Eleiko won't make more, Rogue should get in on that...
That’s a legit idea. I want a 10 kg mug in green.
Pro tip: if this item interests you and you are bummed you can't buy it anymore you can strap wrist weights on to get a similar effect 👍
I would be so hype if they made a Stanley cup shape, but make it hold a reasonable amount of liquid, and make the entire bottom part billet steel so its still heavy
I think that mug is sweet and would've loved to have added one to my garage gym.
Cannot wait for the Eleiko camel pack.
First coffee ,after side lateral raises. Solid product .
Hi coop , you haven't reviewed the eleiko prestera , and prestera attachments.
I'd really like to. I've used them, money not considered, possibly the most thoughtful rack ecosystem there is. - Coop
Omg, how stupid, lol. I guess people love it so the more power to them!
I need two of these
Thank you!
Another cool product that I don't really need but really want now!
Heres something you may find interesting. :)
The name of my country has nothing to do with the interesting and delicious bird ''turkey''......
.....but the name of the bird does have a connection with the name of my country, let me explain. :)
Name of my country has always been Türkiye, it's been known as such since around the 1200's.
The name it self has a suffix, '' -iye '', that is Turk-iye, where the -iye suffix means 'land of/belonging to',
just like the Latin suffix of '' -ia '', which exists in such country names like
Austr-ia, Austral-ia, Latv-ia, Roman-ia etc etc again meaning 'land of/belonging to'.
Many would remember the country Czechoslovak-ia which changed it's name to Czech Republic and a few years ago changed that to Czechia (that is Czech-ia).
The Latin suffix -ia probably originates from Turkish -iye as Turkish is much older, ancient Turkish been over ten thousand years old.
Spelled in different languages in different ways to phonetically resemble '' Türkiye ''
we got various spellings like;
Turquía (in Spanish),
Turchia (in Italian),
Turquie (in French)
Turkei (in Germn) and
Turkey (in English)
all trying to resemble the pronounciation of ''Turk-ia'' thus Turkiye.
Mind you this was way before the animal we currently know as 'turkey'' was found by the europeans when they explored the north americas. The bird was first sent to europe from north americas in the year 1519, so up until that point there was no bird named 'turkey'....
...they came across the bird and thought it was a specie of the fowl/chicken they had been buying from the country of Turkiye at the time, so they named the bird ''Turkey Fowl'' meaning ''Turkish Chicken''.....
....just like how a dog breed is known as German Shepherd (because it's from Germany), American Bulldog, British Terrier, Greek Harehound etc etc.
In time you don't get to call the Greek Harehound as simply as ''Greek''; or you don't call the British Terrier as ''British''; or the German Shepherd as ''German'', but in time the Turkish Fowl started to be called just ''Turkey'' and later ''turkey'', and has been going on for hundreds of years.
Now in modern times, this is causing confusion, especially when we have people across the world unable to point to their own country on the map, this ''confusion over the naming'' needed to be corrected.
So my country decided to rectify this confusion that has been going on for so long and corrected the name to Türkiye, which it always was. Basically we didn't change the name of our country, we changed the mistake made in the English language. : )
So, there's some tid bit information for you to have a great day, if you read upto this point you have a great night too, ohh just have a wonderfull life. : )
Best wishes. ;)
I’m seriously hoping they are sold out so I don’t waste money. 😂
Stupid not to make more. Every company sells merch to increase revenue and brand awareness.
Its refreshing when companies stick to their vision and dont sell out just for the sake of money. You know if any large company put this out they would milk the concept for all its worth, thered be limited editions, collabs etc. But also I wish they did go in on it cause I want one lol
Refusing to sell a product even after massive demand is a company sin in of itself. See Nintendo and its old games.
They could use them as trophies for powerlifting, strongman or BB contests. Sort of like a small version of the Stanley Cup.
They should have just done a kickstarter with preorders for limited edition with the edition number being the number of preorders plus a few extra.
I'm actually so tired of opening google to convert Lb to Kg or inches/feets to cm/m
finally a i can overload my beer curls as opposed to doing 100's of reps.
I can already see a problem with this. It's a massive hunk of metal. A huge thermal sink. As soon as you dump your coffee in it, it'll go cold.
I’ve never heard or seen this but now I want it.
It was in my cart and then the site froze and it never came back into my cart - all while i was in the process of checking out
Damn
I get they don’t want to be in the mug business, it could easily tie up half their machines cranking these out. That doesn’t mean they can’t hire a contract manufacturer to pump these things out. This is the first I’m hearing of this and now I want one. Maybe a bit lighter, I need more than 3oz of coffee in the morning.
well now i want two !
I never knew this existed , i do not drink coffee . but i want two of these now ! Because you can't have just one ! Weights come in pairs , because most of us have two arms .
Waffle irons to barbells to coffee mugs, sounds about right.
They mass produce them in China. There’s a company called “Top Master”. They sell for $100. There’s a 100ml/8kg shot mug too.
As a hobby welder and machinist, I can't see a solid SS machined mug being any way profitable. 4in solid 304ss round, 12in long is $315 and 42lbs. If it's 316ss it's $380. Plus the machining labor and welding. I don't ever make stuff from SS because it's sooo exp, unless I have to. Matching and welding SS is also more difficult.
