Makes me wonder why REP doesn’t sell selectorized machines and other plate loaded equipment. You see these other up and coming companies like Bolt Fitness, which has a bunch of equipment and not just mainly power racks, benches etc. I like REP and enjoy my power rack and adjustment bench from them, but I also feel like they could grow even larger with more of a selection of different equipment. I’m sure there’s a reason why they don’t make more, but I’ve never heard you or anyone else talk about that.
I just got in my $7000 order from REP, got their PR 5000 with Ares attachment, bench, barbell and a big plate set. All in thanks to your review of their products and while I just set it up and used it twice now i must say it is great quality and i love it.
I remember when REP announced his belt squat accessory. It had very sharp edges and I made a review on instagram telling them that this was dangerous since someone could faint or fall and hurt themselves with these edges. They immediately released another version with these edges covered by a rubber protector. And now they have a different model without these edges and totally covered, which shows that this company listens to its customers. Good for them!
I'm sooo happy I found this channel in 2020! After the pandemic shut down my gym I was super depressed. My diy equipment wasn't cutting it and I had no idea about what to buy or what to look for. I mean I had the foam puzzle mats from walmart 🤣 I had never heard of a horse stall mat and The only company I knew about was rogue. Then I find this channel and rep fitness and now after a lot of overtime I have an awesome garage gym that I love training in and I'm stronger now than I was pre pandemic! Coop keep up the great work, your reviews are great and I always watch them before I buy new equipment.
Any company that is truly about the consumer experience will always appreciate feedback, good and bad, but especially bad. These days these corporations get involved with these huge investment firms and things stop being about the quality of products and the consumer experience because they have access to all the funding they need. Everyone's first step in big purchases should be researching a company's investors. If the consumer is keeping them up you know it is very likely a great company.
Got the REP PR4000 Ares setup. Have to say, it's AMAZING. Literally an all-in-one, can-do-anything, setup. They did finally upgrade from that FisherPrice handle to a decent standard style handle.
Just received their AB-3000 adjustable bench and it is perfect for me.Kudos not only for design, price point, and construction, but there were so many pieces already assembled that many companies would have just sent the parts and pieces. I’m a REP FAN FOR SURE! Thanks guys
I agree. As a former product specialist at a distributor and magazine reviewer, I always found the mainstay of questions and criticisms from the public or pros to be valuable. A handful of people behind the design, production and assembly can't think of all potential outcomes. Not all companies are as responsive or flexible towards feedback. It's a great credit to REP to know they're listening and not resistant to making changes.
For the people that own the original FT5000. You can take your pulley trolley and flip it upside down. This raises it a few inches in the high position so you can get the tricep push downs done. You’ll have to either cut the cable shorter or shorten it by pulling further through the connector on the back of the trolley. It worked for me.
I mainly wish REP would come out with taller uprights to compete with Rogues monster rack. I got the 5000 rack and tried to overhead press in it and was unable to at 5’-9”. Also having more strongman. Style of equipment would be awesome.
Would love to see a knurled pull up bar option from Rep. Also I think a rack attached Ghd or reverse hyper would be awesome too. Love that their safety straps don’t have as much flop in them! A little more then I’d like but seriously considering picking up a pair when they drop.
That was a nice video and I very much liked the tour of the Rep Fitness showroom. By the way you the trim down very well and showed some gains of strength in the deadlift showdown.
Coop, can you compare the selectorized lat low row with the selectorized Athena against just getting the Ares? I am trying to choose and keep going back and forth.
I've been looking at options for Nordic curls, and I was hoping they'd talk about the one in the video a little bit. Awesome seeing the other pieces though, great work!
Sucks I can't pickup my orders anymore. I'm literally 10 minutes away from here (Denver). First order from Pennsylvania was lost and went to backorder😡 Went with Rep during the pandemic, very impressed with the quality.
Can you review and compare the GIANT northland open trap hex bar to the REP open trap bar? The price difference is pretty significant and most of the features are similar but as for the functionality I want to know if they are comparable. Thanks Coop, keep doing what you do.
i bought a safety squat bar but it was delivered to the wrong address, they said they are working on it. cant wait to get started with my new bar!!! hurry up REP
I'm pretty sure Rep was sued by Rogue for stealing the look for their products, look of advertisements etc... So it was funny hearing them say they were getting into patents. Also REP if you are not selling your equipment in stores and not paying the stores to sell your equipment, you should offer free shipping! That or put a store in our town we can go drive to and pick it up. It's common sense.
Coop, did they change the weight stacks on the FT-5000 so that they’re even numbers? Small detail but curious to know. Also hoping they got rid of the sticker top plate. Waiting to buy this puppy but want to wait for v2!
I’ve been waiting for a leg extension attachment for the ab-5000 forever! Rep teased about it in a Reddit thread a while ago. I really don’t want to use one of the many community “hacks” out there to make it work, but I really miss leg extensions and my patience running low!
I'm looking to upgrade to a full cage and want something I can have both a lat pulldown/low row, and a functional trainer pulley system. Can you have both with all rep fitness cages?
Wondering is you can review some of granite fitness’s products. I’ve been looking into their power racks. The series 22 seems to be the best budget option. But the ‘3x3’ is designed for all their extra pulley attachments etc
Hey Coop love the content dude. Is there any way you could do a review of the "H2 Smart Fitness Trainer". Seems like a real cool piece of equipment and seems to havee no reviews here on youtube.
I love how Coop is so unafraid to ask the tough questions and is honest with the Rep guys about things like the handles on the ares. Keep it up Coop!

Uncle COOP putting in the work. REP is/has and will continue to be #1 in my home gym purchases.
I just got in my $7000 order from REP, got their PR 5000 with Ares attachment, bench, barbell and a big plate set. All in thanks to your review of their products and while I just set it up and used it twice now i must say it is great quality and i love it.
how you liking it bro
my order is coming in this week I can't wait
I remember when REP announced his belt squat accessory. It had very sharp edges and I made a review on instagram telling them that this was dangerous since someone could faint or fall and hurt themselves with these edges.

Impressed with the deadlift competition. Coop putting in WORK!
NOFate247 showing love to Uncle COOP. I love the support of this community..

I am also stronger now than I was pre-pandemic and happy I found COOP and REP Fitness for me is #1 in my home gym.
This was a lot of fun, the seal row/seat looks pretty sweet. Coop sure does lift.
This was such a great interview and tour. Good stuff Coop
I was one of their clients that gave the feedback that the 5200 is a beefcake. It’s really nice to see how receptive they are of feedback

Huge respect to Rep to open themselves up like that. Definitely influences my view of the company and purchase decisions. Well done.

REP is consistently crushing it. There stuff may be imported but it is of a very high quality. I
This video just opened my eyes to a great company, can't wait to try some of their equipment. Thanks!
Loving the PR-4000, AB-3000 and Athena attachment from black friday shopping. Even the wife and kids are starting to use it.
Coop one of your best videos in awhile. Love rep fitness and their honesty. Glad you asked the hard questions.
8:30 “they’re never going to move” and they move haha
Yes, they moved, on video.
Love Coop’s honesty…and OCD-ness. Don’t change.
I loved every minute of this video, great work team.
The guys you have working at the So Cal location are dope
Thanks Coop. This video makes me want to buy Rep equipment even more now
Excellent interview, Coop! I liked learning about the company.
I love the idea of those offset jcups
Especially now that XII XI is done making equipment
Glad you asked some of the more uncomfortable questions.

"Coop does lift", love it man. This was a great video. Thanks for all you do.

Rep is thinking outside of the box..Got to respect it
Great Job Coop! Rep Fitness is the real deal!!!
What an awesome facility! 👌
Thank you Sokun!
Those adjustable benches look sick
I love the adjustable bench and barbell. Got lots of use out of them with no issue.
The video I never thought I needed 👏
OKAY REP FITNESS!
I mainly wish REP would come out with taller uprights to compete with Rogues monster rack. I got the 5000 rack and tried to overhead press in it and was unable to at 5’-9”. Also having more strongman. Style of equipment would be awesome.
I need that utility seat now. Time for some rows
Great video. Love seeing what goes on behind the scenes and the guys behind the company.
Great video
I used to live within walking distance of their new HQ. Wishing I had stuck around that hood now. ;)
so REP is going to offer replacement handles for people that have already purchased the Ares? That would be great.
Coop DOES lift. I was pumped watching that. Get it buddy
Awesome video, that place looks amazing. Love Rep, love Coops videos
Yep I'm eyeing up the GHD. REP building some good stuff!
A rack mounted GDH system would be AMAZING
Would love to see a knurled pull up bar option from Rep. Also I think a rack attached Ghd or reverse hyper would be awesome too. Love that their safety straps don’t have as much flop in them! A little more then I’d like but seriously considering picking up a pair when they drop.
REP needs to make a stand alone Lat pull down seated row
Coop dominating that smedium shirt (; haha looking good bro. Great vid
I competed against Adam in a crossfit competition a year ago in Thornton CO. Dude is one insanely fit human.
That was a nice video and I very much liked the tour of the Rep Fitness showroom. By the way you the trim down very well and showed some gains of strength in the deadlift showdown.
Coop, can you compare the selectorized lat low row with the selectorized Athena against just getting the Ares? I am trying to choose and keep going back and forth.
Absolutely a needed comparison
I want that seal row bench attachment!
Very interesting, thanks GGR !
Please REP, ship to Europe !
Did I hear correctly that the updated handles will be shipped out to all previous Ares owners?
Dang Coop is strong. Rep is a great company. I hope to have access to their products soon in Canada
Man their build quality is top notch
I've been looking at options for Nordic curls, and I was hoping they'd talk about the one in the video a little bit.
Awesome seeing the other pieces though, great work!
Nice video!
Recently bought the Ares and I’m underwhelmed but watching this makes me want to give their equipment another chance.
What don’t you like about it?
Love the Omega, Coop. Good taste!
The J-Cups need to be sold. Now. Not going to be cheap but I need them.
Oak Club has the only other set like this that I've seen, but they're crazy expensive. I'd love to see what price point Rep could hit
Sucks I can't pickup my orders anymore. I'm literally 10 minutes away from here (Denver). First order from Pennsylvania was lost and went to backorder😡 Went with Rep during the pandemic, very impressed with the quality.
Rep fitness needs to make a leg extension/leg curl rack attachment ASAP
Can you review and compare the GIANT northland open trap hex bar to the REP open trap bar? The price difference is pretty significant and most of the features are similar but as for the functionality I want to know if they are comparable. Thanks Coop, keep doing what you do.
Can you please make a review of the SQUATZ APOLLO fitness board? Thanks Coop
I want the utility seat!
I’m gonna get that open trap bar at some point
Just occurred to me that you guys don't have any hyperextension seats reviews. Would love to see some of those before buying one.
Omg is that utility bench gonna double as a leg press platform for the iso arms?
I don’t even know why I like watching these. No one even ships, here, to Alaska
They will at some point in 2023 start to ship directly to us europiens
Happy days to come
Weird that this video came out AFTER their deadlift competition from a few months ago. This is old footage.
i bought a safety squat bar but it was delivered to the wrong address, they said they are working on it. cant wait to get started with my new bar!!! hurry up REP
I'm pretty sure Rep was sued by Rogue for stealing the look for their products, look of advertisements etc... So it was funny hearing them say they were getting into patents.

That or put a store in our town we can go drive to and pick it up. It's common sense.
They need to come out with pop pin safeties so you can just slide it up and down
Bring your product range to UK.
Please ship international or have suppliers based outside of the USA. We want your equipment - Aussie home gym fan 💪
I was just in Denver after new year and now am away back in Indonesia. Why didnt I know they have an office there.
Coop, did they change the weight stacks on the FT-5000 so that they’re even numbers? Small detail but curious to know. Also hoping they got rid of the sticker top plate. Waiting to buy this puppy but want to wait for v2!

Wish they shipped to UK.
The quality v price point would be unmatched here.
I'm looking to upgrade to a full cage and want something I can have both a lat pulldown/low row, and a functional trainer pulley system. Can you have both with all rep fitness cages?
Looked like fun!! I’m wondering what Coop is taking to keep up with 4 kids. I’ve got 2 and damn that’s a struggle.
Wondering is you can review some of granite fitness’s products. I’ve been looking into their power racks. The series 22 seems to be the best budget option. But the ‘3x3’ is designed for all their extra pulley attachments etc
Nice omega seamaster
Hey Coop love the content dude. Is there any way you could do a review of the "H2 Smart Fitness Trainer". Seems like a real cool piece of equipment and seems to havee no reviews here on youtube.
I wonder what coop did with all the gym stuff he bought over the years.
Great Charlie Willy Wonka reference 😂
Coop, were you drinking a Guinness prior to your workout? That is hardcore!
Will the seal row bench work on safety spotter arms? With Ares, I would need to take it outside the rack.
What shorts is Coop wearing? I can’t find any like them. I want a pair.
Man if only they offered the 4100 in clear grind…
What's up with that Nordic Curl bench by REP in the video!? Very interested but no mention of it and I do not see it listed on their website.
Really wish the shipping to Canada was free, or a sale on the benches, I have had an AB4100 in my cart for 2 months now and I can’t pull the trigger
Here in Australia the only REP importer doesn't have the full gamet of products. a bit sad.
on the subscription list for shipping to europe 😄
That's great you freaking invented every thing and India and Japan are fart toads. I love your shirt 👕.
When is the new FT5000 coming?
What's the name of the center mount lat pull down rack that COOP freaked out about at 1:49
Rep sale weight machine why I don’t see it on the website
First. I'm from colorado spring you in Denver. Yes
What is name of the one at 11:46?
Floor glute ham?
I really wish they would expand the AB-4100 bench colors to all other products! Great video otherwise.
