If this came out 1.5 years ago, I might have purchased a Rogue setup instead of Rep Fitness. The 90" height of Rogue would have been perfect. The 80" Rep is a little shorter than I like and the 93" wouldn't fit with the lat pulldown attachment (Ares 1.0 wasn't good enough for me compared to lat pulldown + athena).
@@path4061 The 90 inch I assume was based on sweet spot of most basements from older houses. Same for me, i have 93 inches w/o mats and finished celling
@@brandonv8721same. I have 95” between floor and crossbeams in my unfinished basement. After 1” double OSB board platform and 3/4” stall mats, I have 93” to play with. That means the 93” REP, which is 93.9” with the Ares 2.0 is just ever so slightly too tall. I actually considered carving back small passes in the cross beams for the cables to pass through. But for not too much more, I can just buy a Rogue which will fit. The biggest issue and only reason I’m still debating is the footprint of the Rep is smaller because they have a 16” width between the back two posts and middle posts, whereas Rogue requires a 24”.
Thanks Gluck - appreciate what you do. Just finished putting mine together 2 days ago. I got the standalone twin stack. Thought I’d share my thoughts in case it helps anyone. Gluck is right: build quality is very high. Feel is as good as you will get. I particularly like the way the low row feels. Attachments are very good, although the pulldown bar is quite heavy. My wife could not change it by herself. Now for some real talk: this thing is a beast. It took me 3 hours just to move it all from the garage to the basement. Assembly took multiple days. This is not a small project. Yes, I was able to do it myself. No, it was probably not a good idea. That said, if I built another one with a partner, it go much faster. Packaging was great but tons of material to dispose of. I was able to pay the driver to help me unload the boxes off the pallet and take the pallet with him. I have very mixed feelings about the shrouds. If you get them, MOUNT THEM FROM THE INSIDE. instructions did not cover this, but if you try to mount them from the outside they will get scratched. You can take them off if you don’t like them but there is a small bracket on the bottom crossbeam that will stick out. Still not sure if I like the look. Unfortunately, because of the mounting bracket, if you don’t order them up front I think it would hard to add them later. I do not like the trolleys. They are not just 2 hands. You need to stand square, use 2 hands and 3 fingers on each hand. They are VERY heavy. Yes, very smooth. But heavy and cumbersome to the point where my wife probably cannot change them. I seriously doubt she can lift them overhead. There’s overkill, there’s Rogue and there’s these trolleys. I do wish the starting weight was even lighter for shoulder cuff movements, particularly rehab type movements. The starting weight (20, feels like 10) does move smoothly and is very useable. Practically, a lighter starting weight would probably be too light to work correctly, so there’s a trade off. I wish the shrouds had built in storage for handles and attachments. There isn’t an obvious, clean way to integrate storage, which I think is a miss from Rouge. Overall, a very good piece of equipment for serious training. If you are on the fence on the shrouds, skip them. Some beginners, lighter weight class, older and female lifters might prefer a true functional trainer for lighter weights and ease of changing pulley height. Hardcores will not be disappointed. Hope this helps someone.
You forgot to mention the surprise rogue gives you, you showed it but didnt mention it! The 3x3 Strips that were used for packaging! I already had one for my echo GHD, but 2 more to put up behind the rack makes for excellent storage! $130 worth of 3x3 strips and they dont even tell you its included! I love it! Thanks for the review! You've helped me decide what to buy many times!
Whinnie is 100% on point. The slimmer green is absolute 🔥🔥🔥. Also great review. That is an awesome eco system. It is great to see REP and Rogue go head to head in an equipment arms race! Keep killing the videos!
Just assembled my FM Twin this weekend. I already knew it was a great purchase but this solidified that decision even more! Thank you for the quality content
I am REP Ares 1.0 owner and absolutely love it. However, if I was still in the market for a rack and functional training, I would absolutely look at this one. It looks fantastic. I love the beefy trollies and long cable travel. Also, I am with Winnie….. the GREEN looks amazing!!!! Thanks so much for the great review.
I ordered the Ares 2.0. 1. Rep was able to apply a lot of feedback to the design. Rogue does not have that benefit. 2. Rogue Monster safety straps do not come off the upright, so they would be a pain with the front pulleys. 3. The Rep rack is 8” shorter in length (24” vs 16” rear), which is important in a small gym. 4. With the shrouds, there is no way to increase weights on rogue with smaller increases than 5 pounds front and 10 pounds rear. Rep has 5 pound adder weights built-in to accomplish this. 5. Rep has the labels for the effective weight while Rogue uses the actual weight. I prefer less math at 4:00 a.m. 6. The lat pulldown pulley is higher up on the Rep rack than Rogues due to 93” vs 90” crossmembers. 7. I had a discount making Ares 2.0 much less expensive. 8. Rep ships the rack ASAP and Ares in October vs Rogue ships their version as one unit meaning no power rack for 6-8 weeks.
Forgot to mention a few things like easier 1 handed trolley movement, better cable starting points on the top and bottom - smaller pulleys, and uni-lateral movement as an option. Just more function in the footprint.
#2- I replaced the bolts in my safety straps with hitch pins (Basement Brandon has a video on this) and they are now quick and easy to remove. I know this doesn't help you, but it might help someone else.
Thank you 😊 I would quite love to see more direct thoughts between the twin and the single, but I think the footprint of the twin is going to be a major selling point for a lot of people.
Dude, you are the 🐐. I intend to put this in the gym at my work but I was a little nervous about how it would hold up. After watching your (as always) awesome and thorough review, I think it will hold up no problem and will be a great replacement for a functional trainer, lat pulldown, and low row. Thanks for all that you do! 🫡
Compare Twin to Single Stack You told me to tell you if I wanted to see that comparison so consider yourself told. Keep up the great work. Love the channel.
I have to say this is the most impressive and well thought out rack I've seen! I can't think of anything I don't like about it! Thanks Gluck for the review!
Awesome review. I’ve been saving for the REP Aries 2.0 but I think I’ll go with rogue instead. I’m big on American made products. I’ll make sure to use your affiliate links when purchasing 😉
Great review, the cable travel and footprint info was extremely useful and having the back of the rack open due to the stacks being on the sides is the deciding factor for me.
I emailed Rogue regarding the option to remove the 8 x storage pins, since i don't need them. They say they could remove it from the order but not lower the price. There is about 300-400 $ worth of storage pin on there. Price could be lower without the pins.
Hahaha I might already be a pro. It's why we don't comment on build time and difficulty as much anymore. After you've done it way too many times it becomes robotic and our experience isn't realistic to others.
Something to aspire to! I’m on a Rogue squat rack and was thinking of saving up for a separate functional trainer but these integrated systems are just too good and this one seems like the best based on your review. I would love to see a comparison between REP’s and Rogue’s dual stack integrated racks though. Great job as usual!🎉
I'm just gonna say it. Gluck's is better than that other Garage ____ _____ channel. I'll take Gluck's innuendo over the Garage's creeper mustache any day.
Would like to see how Rogue incorporates an updated version of the Rhino. It's a big deciding factor if I should invest in the plate loaded or twin stack. I really love the convivence of the weight stack, but I do love the Rogue Rhino equally as much lol.
I'm also interested to see how well the new Rhino incorporates into the Plate Loaded Single. Shouldn't be hard (they intentionally designed it to) but there's def a few things they need to get right.
Looks awesome. I have the Rep Ares 1.0 and it works just great. If I was buying all over right now it would be an option, but to sell and upgrade isn’t worth the hassle (time and money) to upgrade and get some added quality and minimal benefits. ares 1.0 works just fine for what I need. But this one does look good.
Gluck out here doing god's work! Thank you for this review!! Also, I appreciate the mag pin safety strap suggestion. I had thought of this and was going to buy the Straydog Strength safety strap (which can be attached/detached like a jcup) but the mag pin solution is much cheaper!
Gluck -- random question. I think I see you using the ghost roller jcup. If so, was that a recent order? Recent orders (post rogue acquisition) are commenting that the quality is suspect; specifically it doesn't lay flush against the rack. Any insight there?
Those are Ghost rollers and a few years old but were bought post Rogue acquisition. We have a roller J-Cup breakdown vid that has them in it. See if that helps ruclips.net/video/Cd2WIALMv3k/видео.html
Good luck, or Gluck as some say, on waiting for the Aries 2.0 for comparison. I pre-ordered maybe 2 weeks after announcement, using your affiliate link of course, and I've now been given a mid November ship date. Rep has given me 2 x $100 gift cards for the delays and their deepest apologies
Now Rep+Rogue just need to discover the Smith machine so they can match the all in one systems. Some claim that the all in one systems sell ten times the simple racks. That is a lot of sales that those two companies are not taking part in.
I think smith machine attachments will probably be the next wave of popular attachments. There's already the VTS/VTS Lite and Bells of Steel's version (coming soon).
I can see the value, but that's so much more than I'll ever use. I've done the Maximum Effort thing, and it was fun for a season; now I'm just trying to stay south of Dadbod in less than 40 minutes, 3 times per week.
Looks like a quality piece, I like the aesthetics of it. Still not convinced on the starting low point though--seemed like a bit of a pass to say no issues, but here's this aftermarket mod required to actually even use strap safeties or otherwise no one can do cable curls with decent stretch. Even with them removed, standing away from the rack doing delt raises isn't the real test--it's curls right in front of it, and that looks like it'd be close for someone like 5'2".
I measured the height vs the Ares and it was within an inch. Not giving it a pass, the large trolley looks large and it is but the difference is negligible. Also we're both fairly tall so it's hard for us to comment on someone closer to 5'' though we do get our friends to test things all the time. There are a few clips of me in the vid curling off that upright though. It is an aftermarket mod but as I said, we don't really use the straps and have consistently critiqued them.
Rogue doesn’t live up to their lifetime warranty. If you ever try to make a claim, customer service gives you the runaround and ultimately deny it. This happened with an Ohio Power Bar purchase I made. Don’t let the “warranty” influence your buying decision.
Haha I know that’s what you meant but you said “but if your wife’s not smarter than you, like mine is”. So that’s saying she’s smarter than us! But I know that’s not what you meant! Great video though! Wish this was available back when I bought my Rep PR4000 two years ago. I wonder if Rep will slightly decrease their price since they obviously can knowing their stuff comes from overseas.
Great review! Looks amazing. It's too bad I don't have the space to upgrade my rack to anything beyond a short 4 post. I'll have to make due with the Dialed Motion Sidewinder which are shipping out soon (thanks for the great review on that one too).
Technically this was filmed before my Ares 2.0 arrived (it comes in in a few days) and I don't recommend things I haven't tested thoroughly. No worries, that review is coming soon too!
Looks awesome, wonder if there will be leg attachments at some point. Would love to see a hack squat, leg press option like the force USA c10 has if you add their sliding bench.
The only reason this isn't a $6,000 add on is because REP entered the chat. Without REP they would still be throwing it to the customer and not releasing new products. Understanding that I'm sticking with REP.
Congrats on the baby! Great review. I have been waiting on this. Is there room on the middle uprights to have the 50 Cal Trolley's so I can use my short lever arms inside the rack? It looks like the weight stack takes up too much of the 16" of spaces to where I would not be able to access the trolley to move it up and down.
I am sure there are a lot in this community that wishes this was available 2 years ago.
Definitely. Though waiting probably means we got a much better product in the long run.

😁😁😁
Great review! Looks amazing. It's too bad I don't have the space to upgrade my rack to anything beyond a short 4 post. I'll have to make due with the Dialed Motion Sidewinder which are shipping out soon (thanks for the great review on that one too).
Haven’t watched yet but I’m already pissed if Gluck ends up liking this more than my Ares 2.0, which is delayed til mid December 😢
Technically this was filmed before my Ares 2.0 arrived (it comes in in a few days) and I don't recommend things I haven't tested thoroughly. No worries, that review is coming soon too!
Compare the single stack vs the double!
It's an impressive rack and system. I just can't justify the 3k price over the Dane to consider the purchase.
Rogue FM Twin vs Single plez!
Looks awesome, wonder if there will be leg attachments at some point. Would love to see a hack squat, leg press option like the force USA c10 has if you add their sliding bench.
The only reason this isn't a $6,000 add on is because REP entered the chat. Without REP they would still be throwing it to the customer and not releasing new products. Understanding that I'm sticking with REP.
The correct green
Bodysolid has the best warranty. Lifetime warranty on all parts including pulley's and cables on their gpr400 power rack cable attachment.
Check out the MAXUM Sx2. It has the smith plus these cool articulating arms. I’m trying to decide between this Rogue, the Ares 2.0 and the Maxum.
They need to hurry up and announce the FML Twin. I know it’s “confirmed” but I’m getting close to selling my RML 690 and getting a Fringe Dane.
Really want this, buts it’s too tall for my old basement
Congrats on the baby! Great review. I have been waiting on this.
Is there room on the middle uprights to have the 50 Cal Trolley's so I can use my short lever arms inside the rack? It looks like the weight stack takes up too much of the 16" of spaces to where I would not be able to access the trolley to move it up and down.
Yeeeea buddy!!
I'm likely to get the single stack because I want to get the drop-in rhino as well.
Are you going to do a vs. against Rep? Would like to know which you would recommend all things considered
Seems like that's what people want to see so we'll definitely work towards doing a head to head comparison.
Awesome video as always. Still wonder if you can pull out a long pulll pin were shrouds are at at back of middle post?
Maybe sell some of your benches to recoup the cost? You can only curl two benches at once anyway.
I'm about to ban you from the channel...
