Inspire FTX Functional Trainer Review | Must Have Home Gym Equipment!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 3 авг 2024
- I bought my Inspire FTX functional trainer from Precor Fitness about 3-4 months ago. Now this function trainer is available for sale at Costco for more than $800 off what I paid for! At the price range of $1,300 I think this is the must have gym equipment for your home or garage gym. Now that gyms are closed again and who knows when they'll open again, I think having your own gym at home is well worth the investment. This is my review on the FTX trainer and why I picked this one over other functional trainers on the market. When I purchased this function trainer there were no review videos available and I hope I can help people during their search.
Thanks for watching!

Nicely done Vin. I bought one at Costco and couldn't be happier with it. It took me 2h16m to assemble it. The assembly is absolutely intuitive and if you need the manual it is well written. The quality of the trainer is outstanding. Significantly better than many that I have used in gyms. Smooth, well constructed, no cheap cost saving junk. Even the bench is quality. It sits in my garage taking up no space at all. I still park in front of it and can walk around it. I have been using similar trainers in gyms for years but, I keep finding new workout routines that I never thought of or could do because one the limitations of other trainers. This one is limitless. If you are looking for other presentations to do, I would be interested in what exorcizes you do by muscle groupings. I'm always looking for new things to improve my work outs. Thank you!
Been using a FT1 for years now and I absolutely love it. You showed a few new exercises I haven't tried yet, which I really like. This machine offers so many different exercises, in a relatively compact space, that there's really no need for any other equipment.
Awesome review my brother! This is exactly what I need right now for my entire family! I didn’t realize how much you can do with this kind of rack. Thank you!!
I have been on the fence of buying this and this sold me, thank you for the level of detail!
Dude you are awesome. You demonstrated everything in the app in seconds. Thanks a lot!!
Thank you! Your video and walk-through was far better than the instructional video from Inspire! We have this tower and I never knew I could do hamstring curls & a bunch of other exercises, you showed. Much appreciated!
Thank you! I appreciate your words! :) glad I was able to help
Thank you for showing exercises I did not know how to do on this type of machine: squat strap, assisted pullups, bench hamstring curls. Awesome video!
Seriously such a great video! Definitely showed me some new things to try on this machine and definitely glad I made this purchase. Thanks again!
Thank you for showing all the different exercises! Very helpful.
Thank you for the great video review !
Bought one after watching it and are very happy with the FTX functional trainer 👍
Thank you Vinh!! You did a great job with this review. Very well done and informative!
Dude, your video was not only informative but it was also inspirational. Thank you very much for the info on this gym. You got a new susbscriber
Thank you man! Appreciate you 🙏
@@vinhgeta is the weight enough in your opinion for the average joe to get in a good workout along with some free weight work? Not a bodybuilder, powerlifter or anything competitive just wanna stay fit as im getting older. Excellent review!
Have to agree with this comment. Great review, perfect examples and recommendations.
I came upon your page after I purchased the Inspire equipment. Thanks for the information and your tips!
Bro thank you for posting this. Your video is what I needed to get back into my work outs and I’m definitely picking one of these up.
Ayyyy get it bro! I’ve been busy but trying to get back on the grind too!
I bought this yesterday at Costco and my husband found your video today! We are even more excited to use this piece of equipment. Thank you for showing the versatility!
Price?
@@pokerdiver123 $1399.99 at Costco
Thank you so much, i just bought this and i can't wait to start, you have given me so many ideas, good video
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the comment!
Where did you get yours from? Because I’ve been looking online and it shows out of stock on Costco’s website
@@Arikos08 I guess it just went out of stock!
Yeah, i got it in costco, i got an email 5 days ago and purchased after watching this 📷 video
@@TheSpiritualLibrary how did you receive an email because I’m trying to get a notification when they are in stock.
What a great, honest review. Thank you so much!
I was on the fence about getting this but after your review I’m definitely ordering. Thank you very much!!
Glad I helped! Thank you for watching!
Great video and review. You gave some good examples of exercises that can be done. Very helpful review and demo.
This was so helpful, especially the tip about getting it at Costco. Who knew. Thank you!!
No problem! Thank you for watching!!
You mightve just convinced me to pull the trigger and get this! Was debating for a while to stick to building a pulley attachment but knowing I can stack both sides on a lat pull down & even work my hamstrings.. Got me. Great review.
I still think it’s a great value but 👍 my favorite piece the garage gym
Great review. I own the FT1. I removed the metal logos and the ''nylon drapes'', which makes it a FTX lol. It's an amazing piece of equipment. I'm currently trying to make a ''leg press attachment'' to use with the horizontal bar that works with both pulleys. Good reliable machine, small footprint, smooth mechanisms, reasonable price. If you want quality with small footprint without having to buy some cheap crap or go all out on a 5000$ and up piece of equipment, this is a smart purchase.
Thanks for the review. Mine is coming in today so pretty excited to get that iron pump again!
Hello! I wanted to post up now that I've purchased one of these. First, your video was very helpful to my decision making process. Second, I have ZERO buyers remorse about this incredible machine. From ease of assembly to functionality, this machine is a MUST BUY that I absolutely love! One thing that most people haven't done that we did was put it in our 2nd floor home gym space. I carried all of the parts/components upstairs solo. Was it heavy, kinda, but not too bad at all. Once assembled, it's solid as a rock! I would easily recommend this to anyone needing a diverse piece of equipment. Even with the 2:1 weight ratio in the pulley system, I've not come more than about 60% of the way to the full weight of the stack and I'm strong. So there's plenty of weight to use! Smooth as butter too!!! Thanks for helping me conclude that this was the right machine for our needs!!
How tall are you? My husband is 6'...not sure he could use it?
Thank you for this. Awesome, thorough review!
Thank you for the comment! Definitely grab one if you dont have one yet! Good deal!
Great Review! Thank you for being so comprehensive.
Thanks for the review! Home gym is looking great!
Thank you! Looks like the FTX is a hot Costco product right now!
Thanks for the review! I am just getting started with a home gym and wanting to get into slightly better shape!
Wooow so many things you can do on it! I’m so excited to have one!!
Just got mine. Thanks for showing me more workouts!
You are AWESOME !!!! You have shown so many inventive ways to use the machine. You could be a trainer!
Thank you for watching! I’ll be posting some workout videos using this equipment.
I spent a month looking for the perfect home gym, I almost went with the Bowflex Xtreme 2 SE Home Gym. I went and tested it out and wasn't super excited about it then came across your video by accident thought everything you had to say was great, so I decided to get the Inspire FTX Functional Trainer. I was fortunate enough to find a company on OC Craig's List that buys bulk gym equipment from Costco and other places and gives great deals. I got it delivered, and setup new out of the box with heavy duty gym matting for the garage for $1,427 so I was really happy about that. The best thing though is I have tried about half of your demos and the machine is really nice and of great quality. For the price-point it is an awesome small home gym. Thank You for your video it is greatly appreciated, looking forward to doing all of them and getting back in shape and where I was before the VID. Thank Again Vinh!
Thanks for the video bro I am definitely gonna order mine today!
Just got mine today, it's back in stock in California. Thanks for the video. Very well made 👏
Congrats man! I love the FTX
Good stuff. I have mine coming this Saturday. Nice little add on to my garage gym
Thanks for the demo was thinking of buying one ,Great video
Just ordered mine off Costco was shocked by the free shipping. My gym is now complete. Thanks brotha for the awesome video!!
Enjoy it bro! Thanks for subbing too! 👍 more videos coming
Awesome!! My hubby just brought this from Costco and I will use this video! Thanks ❤️
Informative and helpful. Looking forward to the arrival of my FTX. Thank you.
Thank you for your comment! Hope you enjoy yours!
Great video Vinh. I just picked one up at Costco for $1200 with free delivery. I liked you demonstration of versatility.
I just ordered two days ago, i would of never known about this deal til I watched this video! Thanks G!
No problem man! Its honestly the best value cable trainer out right now in my opinion. Super solid!
@@vinhgeta just waiting for my garage remodeled and hopefully I get this thing running. Cant wait! You recommend any mats for cheap? I’ve been looking at greatmats. They seem solid.
@@MoAntphonyMo look at your local tractor supply stores and find some stall mats! Very durable and affordable!
I wanted to come back and give you an update. This trainer is still a beast since we last talked and its been functioning super well! Haven’t had any issues at all along with my stall mats.
Costco Actually Has The FTX for $1100. It is a fantastic machine for the $. Does not take up a lot of space and is perfect for my wife and myself. We are in our 50's and do not need the extreme machines, the FTX allows us to keep fit at home at our leisure. Nice product
Great review brother I really appreciate it. 🤘
Great review - thank you!👏🏼👏🏼
Ive had mine for just about 2 months now. This is seriously the best deal in home gym equipment you can get. Great machine.
Absolutely love it!
Costco sells it with the bench for 1300
It's a steal.
@@Bendova215 yep. That’s what I paid for it.
Excellent review. Thanks
Man this looks great, awesome review! I saw this thing at Costco today, same price, at first I thought it was too expensive, after watching your review now I’m planning to bring this baby home!
Thank you for this comment because I was on the fence about this as well.
Great video I've got a different machine but can do all those exercises that's really cool of you to put all these variants on
Thanks for the quick overview.
Thanks! Exactly the info I wanted to know!
Great review! Thanks so much!!
thanks for the review! looks like a really good piece of equipment.
exactly what I wanted to know about this equipment. very good review which showed different exercises.
Thanks for the comment! Do you have a FTX machine? I'm thinking about posting full workouts you can do only with the machine since so many people are commenting.
@@vinhgeta I am getting one delivered today from Costco. Yes I would be interested in work out videos.
@@ishkhan3996 congrats man! Enjoy it! I might do some videos so stay tuned!
I just bought this and am insanely excited to use it
Great Video! I just picked one up to supplement my dumbbells and squat rack. It works great and takes up very little space.
Thank you so much man! Cause of your video I'm talking my wife into us getting one. The only knock on the video is the cubs hat ;) no worries
Bro thanks for the Costco tip! You saved me hella money!
Awesome man! Ya I didn’t buy mine from there.. could have saved a lot of money 😅
You helped me pull the trigger. Great review.
You won’t regret it! Thank you for watching 🙏
Much love brother. Thank you
Great review man...was on the fence with this but you helped seal the deal - dope tat btw💪🏽😎
Thank you! Glad I was able to assist
Great video, thank you so much…very helpful I appreciate it!
Great video showing why a cable functional trainer is so great. I went with the XMark because I wanted more space between the pulley trollies.
Without a doubt, when I added my functional trainer to my comprehensive home gym, I added the most effective and safe piece of equipment I've ever used, better than barbells and dumbbells.
Selectorized stacks with adjustable cables take the "chore" factor out of lifting. It's easy for even beginners to work through an effective routine due to the initial low weight.
I have an identical strap you used for squats. I have had the hoist v6 functional trainer but now the force usa g6. In the 8 years I owned that strap I've never ever thought of using the strap for squats lol. Thanks for the idea, Great video and review.
Thank you!
Ordered one early this morning. Just under 1400 for me. Saw this video and good to know it should fit in my garage space a lot better.
Enjoy it! It’s a really good buy! Congrats
I have their scs. Absolutely love inspire. Such high quality and wonderful products
Very helpful video. Thank you
Loved the e review
Great video - Costco is selling till the end of May 2021 for 1199.99. Just ordered one and starting my journey. New subscriber!! 👍👍
Thats awesome! At $1.2k I dont think you can find a better deal. When I bought mine it was 2k delivered.. haha
Love the review, thanks man. I just ordered this from Costco for my home gym set up. I got it for ~ $1400 after tax, but it comes with free shipping and delivery. I have the same exact bench as you too, Rep AB-5100. Easily one of the best benches for home gyms IMO.
Rep definitely has very high quality benches and very competitive prices! Especially compared to Rogue! My friends have Rogue benches which are very expensive but I like my Rep ones better!
Is it worth it? I can get it for $1,000 flat from a wholesaler.
@@raulfloresLTTP it’s very well worth it. I’ve had it for months and I use it in almost every workout. Super versatile
Gio C Thanks bro I think I’m getting it especially since I’m getting it new for $1,000
Yes bought mine about 1 year ago. I have it outside in patio and cover it when it rains. Solid piece and smooth lever arms. Quality for the money!!! 10+
Awesome review. Good and very detailed bro.
Appreciate it bro!
Great intro to the cross trainer. Very informative.
Mine will be delivered tomorrow! Can't wait.
congrats man! You're going to love it.
Awesome review bro, thanks for the insight
No problem! Thank you for watching!
You just got a new subscriber! This video was amazing and it helped a lot of people based on the comments. Inspire Fitness should send you the FT1 to review because you definitely increased their sales!! I was trying to decide between the FT1 and the FTX. The store that I was looking to buy from had the FT1 for $2600 and the FTX for $1900. Thankfully, I came across your video while doing my research only to find out that Costco has the FTX, bench and 1 year subscription for $1300. You helped me make my decision!!! Of course, the FT1 is better but I can’t justify paying an extra $1300 just to get a straight bar, ankle strap and sport handle and no bench or subscription. I can’t thank you enough and I look forward to seeing more great videos from you!
Thank you Tina!! Glad I was able to help influence your decision! It would be super nice if inspire did send me some new equipment haha. Thank you for subscribing and there will be definitely more videos of this equipment
Just bought for 1k from a rehab center that closed down. They threw in a bunch of medicine balls, 3 tier dumbbell rack, and some other items. Can't wait to try it out tomorrow! 👍
Nice score!
Thank you so much for sharing!
I appreciate the review, I'm looking for a solid piece of cable equipment for my home gym business this is helpful
It’s a really good choice for the price!
Nice gym setup I like the black walls!!
I have an inspire FTX functional trainer. It is an awesome solid cable machine that will expand your resistance and strength training to a new level. I love it
Very Informative. Thanks dude
Thank you for the video and explanation. 2 Thumbs up. You got yourself a subscriber. One suggestion; try getting a tripod or a stand with gimbal so that when you carry your recording device around, it stabilizes the video images
Appreciate it man! Looking to invest into a humble eventually!
Great video Mr. Tran
This is more of an instructional video of things to do with a functional trainor. I'd like to hear more of a pro and cons of this verses other FTs like Rogue or Fray.
I agree. Looking for the review that is was labeled as. Not how to use a functional trainer
Awesome vid man, very informative. Did you install yourself? If so how difficult was the installation process? Would love to see full workout vids from you in the future using this machine!!
I had the FTX installed with delivery however, I've heard its not very difficult to install yourself!
awesome review bro, good stuff
thank you bro!
Thanks for the information 👍
I do prefer a decent squat rack + high low pulley attachment. But this one definitely is a good alternative, especially more space efficient cause a squat rack and barbell takes a lot of space. The thing is barbell benchpressing, barbell squating, deadlifting, military press, are just the best exercises out there and the cable versions aren't the same.
Great job Vinh
Thank you for this
Dude, I bought one because of your video. Thank you. Your production of this video is quite good. BTW your background music is too loud.
Thanks for this amazing video 👍😀
Thank you!!
Good review, wish I picked this up when Costco did their sale for this for under 1000.
$1000?!? That’s a steal! Even $1300 is still a good deal
Thank you so much for this review! I just wanted to double check, can you do hip thrusts with this?
Great review.
Thanks for this, I’ve been looking at their machine but the one that has a smith machine
No problem! Smith machines are great!
good review man
I want this so much!! Sold out on Costco canada. I hope they come back in stock, I also need to convince my partner that we need it haha
Thanks for your review. My only concern is the leg training lol. I wish it had leg extensions and press but it looks worth the price/value!!
Great video!
