- I have had this Costco functional trainer for 5 weeks now and it has really surprised me! I was saving up for the Rep Arcadia before I found a great deal on this Inspire FTX and I have not regretted it.

Costco has a very similar one ON SALE for $999. This is $400 off and the website says it is until 3/10. It is the Centr 2 FTX (looks very similar.. maybe it was rebranded?)
It was rebranded. Their was a buyout about a year ago.
That sounds about right. Thanks!
Thank you for that informative review. I purchased one last year for $999. The delivery was botched, but the machine works great and I am enjoying it a lot. It is "super smooth" like you mentioned. I'm still sorting out the best exercises for me to do on it, especially for chest.
Thank you for watching. It is a solid machine at a good price. I have moved it to a corner and removed the pull up bar because if my short ceiling and even like that it’s solid.
I hope you find the chest exercises. I only do flys for chest on it and haven’t experimented too much for that. One day I will set a bench up in front and try to do some chest presses.
Thank you Mark...good review
I’m glad you enjoy it! Do you also have a first name for your first and last name like I do?
yep.....of course I am old enough to remember when it wasn't an issue. Now I go to pick up my pizza and I tell them my name. 20 minutes later they figure out it was there on the shelf the whole time, with the name on the order. They thought somebody wrote it down wrong.......
Sounds annoying. I hope it doesn’t happen again
I thought that was a curl bar? Seems like a legitimate functional trainer for the price. Thanks for the review
I haven’t used it as a curl bar but I’m sure it would work! I’ve been really happy with the functional trainer so far. It’s been better than I expected. And no problem I hope it helped
Thanks Mark, a very good review! With the pulleys at their highest point could you measure the distance from the floor to the bottom of the carabiners? I also have been looking at the Arcadia and several others.
Thank you! I have slightly bigger carabiners on and it’s about 64.5” from the floor to the bottom of those
It’s about 67.75” from the floor to the bolt the carabiner hooks to
@@MarkNealJr Thank you Mark. It is higher than I expected. It's still in the mix of finding the best trainer for me.
@ChangelessNow I had analysis paralysis when I was looking for a functional trainer and even told myself I was gonna save up about $2k for the Arcadia but it’s nice having the extra ~$1300 after getting this one used for $800
I get that Mark. I would prefer one of the Rep trainers but there is a point where it is hard to pass up a dramatic price difference. The Centr 2 FTX is currently $1399 at Costco. That's about $600 more than you paid for your Inspire and the same amount less than the Arcadia. I expect to have whatever I buy for a long time which does justify price differences to some extent. At the same time I don't think there is a wrong choice.
Nice review Mark ! What in the future would be replaced on it ? Cables,pulleys ? Trolleys ?? .thanks
Thanks Bill! I was considering upgrading the pulleys to metal ones but it’s already very smooth with the plastic ones it comes with so I don’t know if it’s worth the money to upgrade just yet. If I used it long enough the pulleys and cables could need to be replaced but I think it would be a while before that happens.
No need to pulley upgrade. It is super smooth already after applying lube. Better to get microadjustment weights.
@SuperMerlot good point. I’ll have to look into those micro adjustments!
Can you upside down the pull up bar? How tall will it be if you did that?
I tried but could not get it to fit sadly. I ended up moving it to another spot and leaving it off and it’s been good.
Im not home but I can check the height when I get back.
How do you do lat pulldowns with nothing keeping you down like that? 😅
I don’t think it gets heavy enough to not be able to 😞
@@MarkNealJr Dang
actually Im able to put my feet under the lower support bar so that helps@@TylerSinden
How tall are you?
