These " 'x' years later" videos are very important and more valuable than first impression and initial review videos, imo. People often do not have the chance to test fitness products out before buying them, and these companies generally do not have very reliable return and warranty policies
Hope to see more of these videos in the future so that future users can understand how the structural integrity, aesthetics, and/or function of gym products hold up over time
the issue here is we don't know frequency and amount of use in the 5 years. big difference between sitting idle 5 years and daily use by a family
YES!!! The functional trainer idea is 100% what I want for this. I want a really compact functional trainer for my house!
What do you think about the Zeus Fitness V2.0 XT Folding Rack?
I never understood the preference for 1" holes other than what some think is a cool factor. 5/8" pins and bolts are ridiculously strong and the advantage of 1" spacing is much more practical.
I love my PRX folding rack. Glad I got mine when I did, as I got the 1" holes and the color I wanted (now discontinued). I would have jumped on the full cage folding rack if I didn't have one already. Being able to still use the garage for parking is a must. Worth the investment, imo.
You’re the man Coop! Thanks for the content, as always
Great review and also being able to offer alternate solutions👍🏾👏🏾
I have a Rogue Monster Lite rack. I have not come across a single attachment that I wanted that was not available in 5/8".
Hi Coop, love the video (and the channel as a whole)!
Could you please review the new Major Lutie Lightning F35 Folding Power Rack? I know the quality of Major Lutie isn't the greatest, but I'm really intrigued with the ability of the post width to be adjusted to allow for wider cable flies as I can't stand doing flies with cables on normal power racks with widths of 47"/49". Thanks!
When evaluating racks for purchase (black friday). It wasn't that PRX was more expensive than others (although they were) but their shipping costs were REALLY HIGH. By the time you were done it ended up being more than Rogue. (and more than a $1000 more than Rep). And PRX is closer to me than Rogue is.
Their shipping costs are just brutal, it has to be hurting their sales.
Even being accessories it can be like "whoa, what? how much to ship this?"
5/8th inch are absolutely better. More adjustability, stronger than any human would need, AND attachments are less expensive.
Ya but our boy has to shill so therefore 1" mo better
Love the honest review….BUT…….. Why does he keep reviewing PRx and Nike? Idk if he’s getting paid by PRx but would love to see NEW equipment on here more.
Love the review but man Coop doesn’t put out that many videos a month and then when you talk about repeats it’s just kind of annoying. (Not hating just my personal opinion) we’ve all got one.
Either way great review like always (honest and thorough) but we know PRx is good 👍 and expensive. NEXT……………..
I love my PRx rack. I had to keep my garage parking due to weather and vehicle security, and this rack is the fastest and easiest to deploy and allow me to still park cars in my garage. I also have the wall mounted weight plate holders, a wall mount for my bands, and a mount for my dip bull horns.
I workout at home only one day per week and the rest of my gym sessions are at my commercial gym, but after 3 years of weekly use everything still functions like new.
I only set up my garage gym during the pandemic because of the government arresting people working out at gyms and parks where I live, and I am glad I have my high quality home gym that allows me to still use my garage for my cars.
Great video! As an OG fan of PRX(Shark Tank) it appears they no longer want my dollars. Coop, for all of us fans of 1 inch holes, can you do a video of best accessories for us? PRX can kick rocks. Thanks again!
Love your videos! Can you review the new Rep Fitness Arcadia Functional Trainer?
Nice review GGR Team. I looked into these when I was putting a gym in a NYC condo. I ended up going with stands that I could throw in a closet along with a iron master bench for the ability to do pull ups. I will say, I agree with PRx going with 5/8 for more adjustment. I think they have a good point with the shear strength of 5/8 as well, if > 15,000lbs was applied to that rack at any angle its getting ripped off the wall, and If your not already on the ground level, that's where its headed.
I can't stop watching review videos 😂
Can you do a review on the wall mounted Athena???
Is by chance on your list to review, The F35 folding from Major Fitness?
I’d really like to see what you have to say about it. Thanks for all the great content!
Not having that mounting plate the entire way across presents a problem for someone who does not have common stud spacing the plate across the back kind of addressed that now the end user has to put up back boards on the wall just to mount the rack which potentially makes this more expensive
Was up coop hey have you done a video on the bullbar?Ilooking for a foldable pull-up bar and would love to see you do a review on it.
i have the rogue folding rack and love it. 40" gives plenty of room for rings and i flip the safety arms in and square/ bench inside. not crazy about the folding but i bought it for $400 on facebook and it's practically new so im happy.
for functional training the best i've got now is crossover symmetry and other bands. i'll consider getting a cable system when i like what's available. rogues solutions are too much for the 3-4 exercises i do with a functional (lat pd, crossover, shoulder, tri overhead) of which i can do all with my cables/bands.
Positive energy is like a boomerang. What you send out comes back!
Hey Coop/GGR, during the Black Friday livestream you mentioned you had the Keppi Bench5000 in-house for testing/review, any estimate on when are we going to see that video come out?
Really looking forward to seeing how that bench stacks up since it seems like such a good deal on paper.
Can you do a comparison of the force usa folding rack and the major lutie folding rack with the cables?
Handy to still park in the garage, it’s -30 today in my part of Canada 🇨🇦
Do you insulate and heat your garage so you can work out in it?
Please do a video comparing leg extension/leg curl machines!
Curious your thoughts of this prx vs the bridge built phoenix.
I like the PRX concept but it’s too overpriced. No thanks.
It won’t effect the price you pay but it will allow us to keep coming out with these videos for you 💪
They are American made 🇺🇲💪. That's why they cost so much. I'm in manufacturing and materials are through the roof. I feel some of this is price gouging.
Buy once, cry once. Quality costs money.
@@CornFed_3 Rogue has great gear priced better. They are standard of quality. What makes PRX different is the movement but I doubt their quality is superior to Rogue’s.
@@gugy68, I’m a Rogue fan myself, I was just stating. PRX is a solid choice for a lot of people out there.
Im just building my own. saw it on tiktok. drew it in cad, got some 75mm square tube from a scrapyard and a 16mm drill bit. will probably cost me 200$ to build. Even the smith machine attachment that doubles as a cable weight cart costs like 50$ to build. Like honestly if you have a welder buddy just have the parts laser cut bent and sent from a local job shop. way cheaper and not illegal
I have one of these and 1000x yes to the pulley weight stack idea. Please please please PRX make this
I’d like to see every space saving/foldable rack compared video. There are so many offerings, it can be hard to make a choice.
Whats your opinion on the force usa folsabke racks/cages? Better to stick with the rogue?
Please do a review on the PRX fold-in one rack… can’t seem to find any
We park our cars in the garage because we love cars as much as you love your gym stuff. But we're also here to watch your videos cuz we like home gyms, so please be nice
I have a PRX with 1 inch holes, I prefer the 1 inch because I have the dip bar from Rep that goes on like J cup on each side and it fits perfectly so I don’t get that wobble, I was looking into the Rep safety spotter arms so I can get the flat table and connected to this. I just haven’t looked into it much further yet
By the way, I do have the PRX dit bar but the whole thing wobbles back-and-forth when I’m using it and I didn’t like that so that’s why I got the rep individual set.
Also the reason I chose this over the rogue foldable was because I have a little cement curb in my garage that goes up like 4 inches and the rogue /rep fold over like a page in a book and it would not set flush to the wall. The prx rack lifts up and over my little garage curb along the bast of the wall
After a 13 minute video all I remember is Coop likes 1 inch holes and PRX stuff is a little pricey 😂
Hey Coop, I am considering this rack and have a question about the compatibility of accessories. I am wondering if I will run into issues finding accessories that are compatible with a 3x3 upright with 5/8 holes. It seems that 5/8 accessories could be more readily available for a 2x3 upright. I could be way off, but figured I would ask because I have never seen you talk about this. My thought is 1” holes go with 3x3 uprights and 5/8 holes go with 2x3 uprights. Do you think I will run into compatibility issues? Thanks!
Coop, I am in the market for a folding rack. Can you do a video of which folding rack is the best on the market?
Coop, what wall paint color is this garage?
Does anyone make a cross member with holes that would attach to the uprights for adding accessories at whatever height you want?
Nobody does space saving solutions (combined with quality and convenience) like PRX
I got one like 4 months ago before the new version was available for the upper mount to the wall and it pulls on one side or the other against the wall. I think I need to buy the new upper wall mounted bracket. Other than that it’s grea!
I've actually been wanting to put something like this in my office. The garage gets way too hot during the summer, so something like this that I can easily fold up out the way indoors would be perfect. On their site the pro is actually $999 right now...looks like I just might have to go for it.
team Bridgebuilt (standard squat rack) here :) pull up bar is a stud bar (Large). I regret nothing.
I have a 15 year old that I want to build a garage gym for and this is the only folding option that I’ve seen or heard of
5/8 Gang
Holy Foldable PRX Rack Batman!
$1600 for just uprights and a few crossmembers, no thank you.
Coop could you please review RooLox barbell collars by abmat?
Wow didnt know they changed the prx rack to 5/8” holes. I have the version 1 model and it has 1” holes (which i prefer)
It will be nice to have a test of the MAJOR FITNESS FOLDING POWER RACK LIGHTNING F35
The lack of 1” options is a bad call IMO, especially the fact that they’ve transitioned from having that as an option to now standardizing only on 5/8s. Is it overkill? Perhaps, but the fact of the matter is that part of the benefit of modern 3x3 racks is the interchangeability of attachments (setting aside imperial/metric). There are attachments out there that simply don’t come in 5/8s, come in 5/8s after the fact, or have design compromises at 5/8s (like requiring a channel support instead of a single pin through). Going this route, PRX removes a large swath of options for their customers down the road. You can adapt 5/8s attachments to 1”, you can’t go the other way.
I get that you have used every rack but that does not change the strength of the metal. Pretty sure people buy the 1-inch hole rack because they think it is the more premium rack when it is just in your mind. 1 in is extreme overkill for anything that you are doing on a weight rack.
Short bar, squat rack size PLEASE,SOME RANKING😊
In Norway this is ca 1/2 of a mount sellary. So pretty expensive. The fold away thing is the only reason to bay this.
LETS FN GOOOOOOOOO
I’ve got a one car garage and I’m thinking this is the only way to go for space saving.
I love this stuff I just can’t afford it lol
very weld done & he prefers 1" holes. :P
I have stopped myself from ordering multiple times from Rogue because of the shipping.
What did you want to get?
$1200 + Shipping vs $460 for the X3 . More than triple the price. Whatever tiny, inconsequential advantages this may have over the X3, no way they are worth triple the price. This is a rack for people who have so much money they don't care to waste it.
I'd worry that in the future you'd have to replace one or more of those gas springs. They have a limited lifetime.
Free shipping isn't free. You're paying for it. It's just built into the price.
I have a super-small space, so PRx was really my only option back when I built in early 2021. I will say that while I was very impressed with the build quality on the rack itself...the J-cups and spotter arms were garbage. Horrible fit, awful welds, and only had UHMW on some of the surfaces. Haven't been able to justify replacing them yet, but they're on my list (once I buy the million other things my gym still needs).
Hola hermanito saludos desde Córdoba Argentina por favor podrias habilitar subtitulo al español gracias un abrazo gigante
Bought my PRx rack during Black Friday deals on 2023. Got the pro rack for an advertised price of $899. I had to pay over a $1200 due to there damn shipping they charge. It is ridiculous. They would not budge on shipping whatsoever. They claim that other big fitness companies charge more for their product but have zero shipping but if you compare hand and hand like this rogue or rep. Rogue and rep have far better all around equipment for cheaper and with free shipping.
We all prefer once inch holes coop 😉
I see what you did there 😂
God I wish I had the vertical space to install this.
Hmm, maybe if I punched a big hole in the ceiling. 🤔
Wouldve got it if it was 1 inch holes
If anyone wants the 1” holes, let me know. I have the black PRX Pro folding version 1 (shorter version with no pull-up bar). I want the black 5/8 version. So if you want to trade hit me up! Only would need to trade the uprights because the brackets are interchangeable. (Live in California)
If you are going to make a home gym. Make a home gym that you want to work out at. Saving space is not a major problem, the objective should be making a home gym you actually feel like using. So probably get a full power rack.
Get a half rack
Space saving is king for me, but man, should I really care if I have 1 car in a 2car garage? 😅
Once PRx goes to free shipping then they will be worth it.
Made in US, but robot weld and paint ≠ no financial incentive to customer. Ok.
I agree, who actually parks in their garage and lets their car take up precious gym space!?
Yeah almost 500$ US to ship to Canada, that's too bad.
want a made in usa rack, but complaining about the price... come on man
I think you should "Cooperize" this by mounting someone else's 1" uprights and do a video!!
So, why to put a misleading title?
You are not using it for 5 years, it's just a re-do of the same content.
The concept is bad, if you use it, it stays, if you fold it, you are not using it :)
Was looking into it, but, after 5 mins of thinking, understood that it's going to be 99.99% of time unfolded
I put mine down and up every time I use it so I can park my car in the garage.
"five ach inch holsh"
No way someone thought this video was a good idea
No thanks. I'm su cker for quality but these 5/8 inches ain't it. This is a casual rack priced as a hardcore high quality rack. 5/8 inches holes is BETA. The 5/8 attachments will bend if I put the weights I do in these. So, my advice: if you are going to spend on a nice rack. Get a 1 inch rack, like a real man.
