I will never ever buy a single device that is subscription locked so this is a dream. There's been a few devices I was very interested in, but the subscription is an instant NO.
100%
this. People need to fight this to stop companies from subscription leak.
I think even the fact that you have to get an app to use it is bad enough and would stop me buying it.
Don’t need a subscription for a 300 dollar cable machine, and mine has max capacity of 500lbs lol.
whats your whoop username?
for anyone else wondering it's $2100 for the unit without accessories
and it goes up to $5022 if you want a pair of them with all the accessories
if I had the money to go for something like this I'd definitely support the company without a subscription based model and with openness towards universal accessories (shown by using the simple carabiner). The only disappointing/unforgivable thing is the lack of android support, but hopefully that's actually on its way.
Well tbf anyone getting this likely uses an iphone. That crowd is more willing to drop 2K on something like while the rest of us are highly sceptical with pricing like this
@@YunisRajab That's not true, maybe true in the US but outside the US not at all.
@@YunisRajab what a dumb comment.
That seems reasonably priced. I paid around that much for my rep ares, rack, and accessories. Stuff like this is the future for sure. I personally would wait till this stuff gets more reliable. With my rep ares if something breaks it's a cable and a pully which are cheap fixes...something breaks on this it's a whole new $2000 machine.
If its the same cats who did DJI they for sure will add Android support, as its not something foreign to them.
I have a pair and they’re some of my favorite pieces of kit. Unfortunately the cost will likely keep a lot of people away, I know I was hesitant having never used it before but after spending a few months with them I can see the value prop with everything included. Have been using these more than my selectorized lat pull down/adjustable cable column.
Same. Cost will go down over time. Weight will go up. This is just the start. - Coop
Dang Brandon, well that's quite a testimonial!
Looking forward to your review as well.
how is it for lat pull down? Was thinking of getting Athena + lat pull down for my PR5000 but don't think the lat pull down will fit in my 96" garage. This seems like it could be a good option
I heard about them from your channel. Waiting till I recover from a surgery to get at least one. A pair would be pretty sweet too though.
Bought this after watching your video, and used it for the first time today.. It a totally new way to train with the eccentric mode that really gets a great workout. Definitively worth the money.
"Open the pod bay doors, Hal."
"I'm sorry, Coop. I'm afraid I can't do that."
This machine is perfect for me. I used to be a personal trainer and I want to start doing it again on weekends, traveling to clients homes. This would be soooo much easier than lugging around dumbbells and bands
Amazing product but its price is insane. If it were less than a 1000 perhaps an argument could be made but 2100 is more than most people's emtire home gyms and more than most independent functional trainers.
Yeah, between Costco savings on the FTX, 90lb pair of power blocks, bells of steel bench and trap bar, Amazon power rack and cheap plates/olympic bar on Facebook marketplace, my home gym is still cheaper than buying a pair of these and I can still buy a leg press/hack squat machine and still be under the price of these.
It's 5000+ for the set. Unless you are only going to use one, which makes zero sense.
ISSUE is start up company w terrible warranty. U blessed w lots of space either extra rooms or basement. this product is for people living tight in NYC, San Fran small spaces that lost a ton per square foot. they r not housing functional trainers. @@cv2633
@@chrisjefferis1930 and the required bolted-down rack also takes up floor space and money
Others had a different take than I. I see great value in saving floor space. MY ISSUE is limited warranty for only one year- if the product was warrantied for 3 to 4 years ( steel is warrantied way longer I see more value). w this u can spend 5k buying a set and if it BREAKS after just 13 months its a big loss of cash. @@chrisjefferis1930
This is one of the coolest innovations in gym technology in my lifetime.
I don't comment on many videos but this was very informative and the most innovative piece of equipment reviewed for home gym owners. I have already added to the cart for my home gym! TKs Coop
@11:06 I've tried the ARX half a dozen times until the business that used it went out of business because it is just such an expensive machine. The guy that purchased it has truly become the strongest man I know and having tried it just blew my mind on how it can create that load...
I see myself purchasing them just on that recommendation of the similarity to an ARX, but this thing looks like it'll fill so many voids in home gyms or when you're traveling. Thanks for the great content
ARX accommodates every inch of leverage-advantage. The full-strength one can exhibit at near extension of a fresh ARX negative leg press rep is >1,000 lbs for almost anyone. People don't know what sustained full effort is until they've tried ARX.
@@lazur1 Just to be clear, I wasn't knocking ARX for the ability to train folks. It's an amazing system... The pricing model doesn't work for the common consumer. A regular r person isn't going to afford to have one in their home gym and it's not a straightforward as it seems to be able to run a gym and be truly profitable on ARX. Sure people are doing it but at $100 a session just to keep the lights on It's unaffordable or only for folks with deep pockets.
The product mentioned in the video at $2,000 has a much more manageable price as an ex gym owner, I could manage to make that worthwhile. For most clients being able to change that strength curve is going to create hell of adaption for the muscles. Not ARX adaption but a strong stimulus.
If I were still running a gym I could literally pay an employee an extra $10,000 a year versus having the sunk cost of paying for a specialty piece of equipment.
Honestly with the overhead of a place like 24 hour fitness or planet fitness they could afford to bring ARX in because they have the kind of overhead that would make sense.
From a training perspective, the first time I tried ARX, I had such a massive energy output It rivaled Any workout I'd done in the past. I felt so bad. I checked my blood sugar and I took a glucose tablet and I'm not diabetic lol. I am the biggest ARX fanboy and I'm just saying the money don't work for the common person.
But if you added that device above in the video plus a kbox for eccentric training, you're going to produce amazing strong athletes at a fraction of the cost.
Finally a company understand what we need a cable system in a garage gym that can attach to a rack. Great job. I have been waiting for this product in a few years now. I have seen a few simular but they did not do the job. Ancor, vetruvian, maxfit.....and so on👌👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏❤❤️
Just get a cable machine... it's a rack with cables attached, oh and it costs less and you can do more with it.
@@FEV369
Just get a complete homegym with cables like the monster G6, it costs only as much as a single voltra but it replaces a powerrack with pullup and accessories like a dip station + a dual adjustable pulley
wow this looks amazing. definitely top on my wishlist
I love the idea, but I REALLY wish it had a dial to select the weight. Analog controls are better in the gym imo.
These are pricey for sure but still are amazing/gamechanging tech.
'Free' content idea: I'd love to see a homegym set up with a pair of these as a core. Outside of traditional deadlifts and maybe squats, 400lbs of resistance from a pair is more than enough for the majority of lifters and for people who don't/can't have a traditional home gym setup with mats/power rack/barbell. The maneuverability of these make them way more versatile than a tonal style set up.
How long will it last, though? I have some plates we picked up used on the 70s. Use them all the time.
This thing would be perfect for the space station
awesome stuff
Very cool. I love my Tonal because it takes up so little space, but if you have a rack, this makes a lot of sense.
So excited for the review! One of the coolest products I have seen in a while and it totally makes sense that engineers from DJI made something like this.
Ive been waiting for magnetic resistance training devices where you can dial in the weight precisely but this is as close to that as probably safer. awesome tech
Very interesting. I'm curious how long that thin rope lasts and if they will have replacements for it.
Very interesting product and loved the review. Would be nice to see what the app features are like can you build a workout within the app that way you don't have to spend too much time changing the load on the screen. Also, do we know how long the battery will last and cost to swap it etc? Is the screen prone to cracking if you drop an accessory on it? Is this something you would have to be careful of when using it?
The parachute mode seems interesting as a way to auto regulate resistance based on your power (like actual dropsets)
$2100. I didn’t hear the price mentioned ONCE.
- Sliding rack mount, $249
- Adaptive rack mount, $159
- Fixed rack mount, $99
- Bar mount, $59
- Travel platform, $199
- Travel suitcase, $349
Wish it wasn't battery powered, but very cool.
Battery specs:
- 1700 mah
- 140 W charging max
Plus, I don't trust the no subscription promise. Companies go back on this every second of the day, then act as if they are doing us all a favor.
It's not connected (AFAIK) so it's hard for them to brick it - you'd need to install an update without reading the small print
I think it's fairly priced, but want to see the reliability before giving up my Rep Ares. If you read their website the amount of resistance you use greatly impacts its battery life which makes sense. They only tested it between 40-100 lbs....which makes me think using it at 200 lbs very long is a stretch. When this becomes reliable technology I'll jump onboard. Makes a lot more sense than a cross functional trainer and easier to move and use when traveling.
@@trollzone1 you think dropping 5200 on a pair of them is fair pricing? 🤡
@@jishani1not being able to afford it makes you a 🤡
@@trollzone1It's not about affording it. It's the fact that for the same price as this full system you can build a premium conventional gym that you will never outgrow and will last you the rest of your life, while this thing will likely be in the landfill within 10 years. Not a good investment. Unless, I suppose, you can't afford a house with space for a real gym.
I look at something like this and think, how can I attach it to my rack attached standing leg curl? My prone leg bench? My Sorinex Bulldog pad? If you used something to elevate your body, you could potentially use this for belt squats. The possibilities are limitless.
Great review. Coop how did you anchor the black 3x3 upright that you attached the Beyond Power Voltra to? Is it attached to the floor or table? Being able to have a single 3x3 upright you could then use for dips, resistance work from this or using a leg roller for split squats seems really useful
Last thought; an idea might be for them to offer a sturdy vest with attachment (like a weight vest but no weights needed) so that with something to elevate like 2 chairs you could use this for the equivalent of "weighted pushups" similar to bench press when you travel, or to possibly replace any need for barbells at all even at home, if one likes using this instead of live weights
@mikethestockimpaler3049 you could do this currently by attachment this unit to the chain attachment on a Kensui EZ vest.
A grabbed 2 Unitree Pumps for under $350 total, on sale. Not nearly as heavy duty as this, but is has door anchors. I'm really enjoying them.
You should review the Unitree pump
Looks great for reverse squats, I’ve been looking for a good solution for that.
The heavy negatives is an exciting prospect. For curls the only thing similar using standard cables is cheating the weight up with a bit of leg power then strict form on the eccentric.
When the most revolutionary thing cost as much as a decent budget home gym set up x.x lol
How long does the battery last with regular usage and the price of replacing it?
love it
Hey Coop! Would you do a review on the body solid pro weight assist dip chin up machine?
Ive lost 56 lbs so far using an all in one gym plus Nordictrack select weight dumbbells, Rep Ez curl bar, Rep ab3000 2.0 bench. I am Interested in a dip station but still to heavy to do all of my body weight for dips or chin ups.
I saw this machine online and thought it would be great for building up to full body weight exercises.
Thanks for all the great content!
Jim
My first thought watching those deadlifts.. that bar is eventually going through that screen when you let go :D
This thing is incredible. I hope the app is well designed to keep track of workouts.
Whoo! I've been waiting for this review! Thanks so much!
What about the smart trainer from Maiak? Goes up to 220 lbs I believe and it mounts on squat racks.
Don't believe it costs half your house either....
I saw that recently. But as far as I can tell, the Maiak machine is not available for sale yet.
great, i might have to get a crossbar for my power rack so i can attach it to the floor and use this for weighted pullups...
I think I'd stick with a Unitree Pump. It only goes up to 44lbs of resistance, but they're only ~$300 USD. I bought a couple when they first launched and they served me very well until I got my Rep rack with Athena.
This has better control of features, but that price tag is a huge limiter.
I totally agree about the unitree pump. The other thing that I am struggling with is I don’t own a rack (no room for one). So the mounting options for this device seems to be a bit limiting. The unitrees can mount to just about anything including doors, and the fact that you can sync several of them together with all of the features that Coop demonstrates in this video seems to be a better value. I just checked, and the unitree’s are going for around $200 now, getting 6 of them (240lb max) would cost 1/2 of this device with what I think is a ton more mounting flexibility. I guess a downside for the unitree would be the battery life. However, for me, it’s not that big of a deal to simply charge them every two or three workout sessions.
The fixed mounts that he didn’t show could screw into just about anything that can take the load
Feel the same way. This thing is great for people looking to add cable flys to their rack
If you have two of them, and attach a barbell, would you be able to get 400 pounds of resistance total? 200 per each side? Or is there a reason where the weight distribution would be different and not actually 400? If so this could be great for heavier deadlifts, squats, bench, etc
445 with weight off the bar
I truley think this product or one similar will be the next essential versatile option same as a dumbell/barbell/cable. There are just too many applications for this. One thing I hope they program would be the inverse of band tension, replicating what something like Prime equipment can accomplish.
Using this with a squat rack. With no other weight on the rack, what would be the best option to weigh down the rack while using these?
I would love to see Coop review the Isokinator by Koelbel Research.
Been waiting for this review
What is the pull chord made of? The chord material looks like woven nylon or poly. This would be the most likely part of product to fail. If so, how expensive would a new pull chord cost and would it be a DIY replacement?
I'm so glad we get to see a review of this soon. I looked at it recently and it seems awesome but its way too expensive to blind buy.
Can you do static holds with this one? If so, if you raise it on 100 and hold it, will it be 100 or what you set the lowering weight to be?
This is exactly what Ive wanted for a long time! Price is a bit out of reach for me, especially for a pair. But I hope they come down.
dji guys makes a dam good stuffs
Is the cable long enough that you can have the travel-board on the ground and overhead press with it?
Friday GGR! Best way to start the weekend :)
Lets go!
This product looks insane
Have you tried belt squatting with this?
If you were to lose control and the handle flies out of your hands, any Chan’s of the display getting wrecked ??
Couldn't wait to see your review of this. I don't think this is the answer for cable machines, but certainly is moving innovation forward in the home gym space. Too bad the pricing. If it was $2500/pair, I would jump all over this. Also. I wish these companies would stop with this subscription model. It's clouding the actual cost of the items.
Sickkkkk
looks really advanced, i however will have to keep using my Amazon resistance bands at that price point
That I pretty similar to the box a Phantom 4 comes in.
Make a bench with attachment points that use that
Very impressive product and as always, great review. Still. With how much gym cost has dropped, at least in my area, would it be cheaper to go to a gym?!
The ability to change loads like that is HUGE !
This would be the best rehabilitation tool .
The features and convenience are pretty cool. Hiwever wish they didnt include the touch screen and it was just a few buttons like on a remote. They could have a movile app with all the extra tweaking and features instead.
Can you use it 90° tilted? Does the screen tilt as well?
Mini tonal without the screen. Basically tug of war with a motor.
I can totally envision people putting this in the van life builds. Personally i would have it atach to the outside of the van or when you open the door it attached to the inside(not on the door)
Great idea but there is few similar products for fraction of price. The only reason you would buy one of resistance pulleys is to avoid paying whole price of the standalone cable station (that is around 2.5k for 100kg stack). I know the size also matters but then if you can fit a power cage then it's also cheaper to get power cage with cable pulleys (yes they build them). Don't get me wrong, if that device would be for 20% of current value I would for sure consider getting 2 for my power cage. 🤞 they will lower the cost by removing the screen and battery just to have a pure mechanical device that is affordable.
Being able to change the concentric and eccentric weights is a game changer, but I can't justify that price. I'll be interested to see how low the price can eventually go.
2100 usd. In Canada that’s 2832CAD. I’ll be honest, it may be awesome but so is 2832 dollars worth of bars/plates/ free weights/ kettlebells …. Ideally you need two “VOLTRA 1” units at 5664 dollars. So that’s even more free weights.
But this is not for everyone. If you travel a lot it's perfect, if you don't have space at home for a home gym (like an apartment etc) it is good.
Personally I live in an apartment and travel a lot for sometimes a week or 2 in a van into the middle of nowhere, so being able to have something like this would be amazing.
It's a niche product for a niche audience. And compare it to the Tonal or Vitruvian and the prices aren't too far apart either (and this one has no subscription)
@@TheAnglan it’s not perfect and it doesn’t make sense. Are you paying 5664 dollars…. Doubt it. If you play in the nfl it makes sense, for a normal person you grab resistance bands and a Trx for travel.
What do You think about the TYTAX-T3-X HOME GYM?
I want constant change in resistance with timed reps like an arx
Really interested in the negative being heavier, as is supposed to be really good for development. I hope these turn up in gyms, as I do not want to pay a few grand for one.
This could be really awesome for traveling actually. Looking forward to the comparison Coop!
Check out the synapse CCR
DJI engineers have done some amazing things. They recently revolutionized the 3D printing home market with Bambu Labs. Real innovation and great quality, I feel like DJI was the start of China getting in the game for high end electronics.
When tonal first came out I was asking if I could move this in a vanlife type situation. They said no. This is gold just for the mobility of it all! So excited!
Buy one rack pillar and add a drawbar to fit your 2" towing receiver and store on a roof rack when not in use?
Or mount a single rack pillar cut down inside of van?
Or maybe they make a wall mount?
Good luck!
Is there an app to control it easier and monitor your workouts ?
Wow these are expensive! 😵. Super sick product. I was thinking I could mount two off my 6’ storage rack to get a wider distance for flys. Ha, at $4200 for two I may hold off for now 😂. Love the product though. Thanks coop!
For flys, I was thinking of attaching my safety arms sideways and sticking these on the ends.
Thats a great idea! My rack is a 2x3 so I can't put my spotter arms in that orientation. Gah! @@larrysanderson9796
What about Sole SRVO? No subscription, universal carabiner attachment, but only $1650.
They shuuld make a wall instalation for these. On wood and or on concrete.
Off all the things you dont need in a homegym this is up the list
Wonder if that screen can survive getting smoked by a dropped handle…
Maybe we'll see what happens in that scenario in the full review!
I've thought about that too. Potentially why their handles are carbon fiber and not metal. - Coop
@@GarageGymReviews review it soon. This is one of the most intriguing products I've seen. It basically make my rep ares seem obsolete...assuming it's reliable and give the same continuous force. I know some devices like this don't.
COOP Guys its Garage Gym from Hi Reviews
Great review
Anyone know what make are those standing light bars in the background?
I am baked af and amazed by these. I need to buy this. Fuck having a bucnh of metal in my living room
The cost of two should be on par or close to the cost of functional trainers. I'm either getting the Rep Fitness Arcadia, Athena, or this.
The cyber security in IoT is a bad joke, to hear that this doesn't require an internet connection and subscriptions is gold. And if you don't believe me look up this story about millions of 'smart' toothbrushes DDoS-ing a bank server. Anything connected to the internet is vulnerable but not everything is protected.
2100 for one is actually insane lol. They can keep it
Someone’s gotta find a way to hook these up to a cable stack w/ like a gym pin or something. Would open up insane capabilities
Damn, this thing is awesome
Is that an old Baldwin Denim hat? I have one of those, and it's been a long time since I've seen someone else with one. I don't even think you can get them anymore, because I don't think Baldwin Denim exists anymore.
I'd never get this for rdls, the rom is already limited by the plates being too big and this seems to start even higher, surely you aim to increase flexibility as much as possible in your hamstrings.
Had been waiting on that review for some time! Once they come out with a 400lbs V2, it'll be an absolute must-have. Still gonna probably grab a pair of 1s as is.
We need color options (black at least) and protection for the screen. Then they can take my money. Until then, I'll patiently wait...
Damn! If it has a long life span then you could install a single rack at home, get one of those and completely ditch the gym subscription! Pretty damn sweet, even though the price tag is......isch!
Insane price. For that money (in the home gym space), better not be dependent on electronics to work...or have any plastic....IMO
Does anyone know what jacket coop is wearing from arcteryx?
My home gym is just a pull-up bar and a pair of rings. I wll never spent about 5k to have something like that. But it's cool though. I think not much people will buy it for that price but we'll see.
A Compact Bowflex!
