Bam!!! You guys are killing it AGAIN!! I have always wanted this for rows!! I think somehow we can use this for T-bar rows too? Thank you for always coming up with brilliant products!!! Lastly, your post-end credit shots are WAY better than Marvel movies, hands down!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Thank you! Some people are catching on to our post-credit scenes haha... we try to create some of the best equipment in the world, and have a bit of fun while doing it. Glad you're enjoying both.
Pretty dope guys. Nice way to take something basic and add versatility.
REP, go ahead and send Brandon a utility seat so we can get a thorough review.
That just might be the best utility bench on the market all time. I know of 2 people that are ordering it to replace their "R*GUE" Version already. Here's what stands out for me. The assorted holes and ability to hang it, handles and how you recessed the pad to sit nicely on it. Well done!
Another reason why I’m waiting for Rep UK delivery before re-building my home gym 😊 brilliant looking product! Especially excited for the Nordic curl feature 👌🏻
Same boat for me!
Utility Seats are already pretty useful. The pad on this one makes it even more so.
Can't wait for this to arrive! Thanks!!!
I’ve been waiting for this! Awesome!!!
Been waiting for this one! Looking forward to it
AWESOME!!!! can't wait for ordering this!!!!!
some great work here. you guys are on fire
LET'S GO REP FOR THE WINS !!!!!!
Let's goooo!!!! Thank you!
Really appreciate these kind of deep-dive videos when you release a new product. This is just good quality service, thanks fellas.
That's just awesome!! 🙌One of my most anticipated products of yours, seems to be worth the wait! Placed my order as soon as a saw it was finaly available on the website! 🎉
You guys really did a great job with this piece. Congrats!
Thanks John! Took our time and got it right.
Love this, just purchased, gives lots of options for the home gym rackie guys like moi
love the leg press
Just bought one this morning!!!
Any instructions on how to attach it to the iso arms for a leg press ?
Order placed 👏👏👏
HAHA Been following REP for a while so caught the name switching 🤣
Haha... you found the Easter egg for those who know us... good catch!
Ordered after seeing the email- been waiting for this. Then saw this video and ordered a leg roller 😄
Nordic curls ftw! The leg roller can be used for so much more too.
Niiice… luv the compatibility with racks as we can’t get the Rep racks in NZ yet. Hoping for access to the utility seat sooner than later!
Thanks Craig! We have a partner in Australia not sure if they ship to NZ though. repfitness.com/pages/international-distribution
A suggestion maybe for the next version. Maybe make a hole in the center similar in order to do the belt squat like the squatmax. And then a cap/knob for when we want the full platform.
I tested it out at the Moreno Valley location this weekend and its pretty freakin sweat as far as utility seats go. I would have added a third thumb screw hole for storing it where the pad sits a few inches lower than the band pegs but is still attached to the seat, because otherwise you still have to find a place to store it. I'll likely store it in in "wall" mode at the back of my rack like a logo cross member piece.
Did you try lying face down on it without the soft pad?
I'm using mine a table for all the take out I order
Is there any particular reason why the leg press function with the ISO arms would not work with any of the the cable attachments, particularly the side load athena?
If you add a rectangular cross bar down the center of the underside of the seat to allow a pendulum to be attached via pop pin, this could be the best, cheapest, and most space saving version of a reverse hyper.
Or maybe you could achieve the same results using the lat tower and a dip belt
@@Radioactivechemist I thought about this as well. Only concern I had was lack of support for the chest and handles. What do you think?
@@Weopnduck I was thinking of just using band pegs or utility horns either on the uprights or on a drop down safety (if the utility basest is is on the safety spotter arms). As far as chest support goes I don’t think it would need to hold a heavy load so pretty much and flat solid piece of material that can overlap the utility seat and can support 50 or so pounds should work. Is it necessary to have chest support? To be honest I have never used a reverse hyper.
You are guys are out-innovating Rogue yet again! One question though. How is it compatible with both 47" and 49" power racks? Are the side flanges extra long to bridge the gap for 49" width rack?
Looking forward to you opening up European distribution! :) Is it possible to buy some free posts/feet this could be attached to, so it can double as a flat bench?
Ordered 😂 damn y’all killing me
But in the best way!
@@REPfitness so are we gonna see some new monos this year? I’m hoping for a design like the mutants snap roller
will it fit a Titan Fitness TITAN Series 3x3 rack?
Trading names? Seat looks sick!
🤣 lmao the last few seconds
I heard and see it's compatible with 47" and 49" outside width racks....Is it compatible with 48" wide racks?
Interesting. I'd like to see a bit more in depth review before purchasing. Seems like ROM is limited/awkward with the leg press. Also, for seal rows how did he reach that far down to pick up the bar. 🤔
I know you can’t state definitively, but what’s your opinion on if this would be viable on a domestic competitor’s 2x3 safety spotter arms?
can I use the seat with iso arms for leg press on the apollo rack?
Nice. Now someone try out Utility Seat+Iso Arm+Leg Roller Leg Extension and let me know if it works
Too much Coop & Gluck = Take my money!!! Nice addition, but was not considering the ISO arms until I saw that leg press option. I used to do a hamstring/back workout on a box with a barbell, lighter weight, and would slowly rep the bar below foot level and back to standing for about 3x12 or so, thought of that when I saw this.
while i'm tempted to go with their ISO arms, they are limited in their articulation.. other 5/8" (i'm on a 4000) ISO arms allow for side-to-side movement as well, adding even more versatility -- @REP are ISO 2.0's on the horizon any time soon?
Looks like a bit of a headache to use for leg press. You'd have to take the handles off teh arm and then bolt down two weight horn attachments to it in order to use it how it's showed in the video. Hope someone comes up with a better solution than that but it's all I see now
Is there a simple way to set this up for Nordics with a PR-4000?
Sweet! I've been holding out for this vs DIY lever arm foot plate attachment over a year My only concern was storage, but I happen to have just expanded to 6-posts / you got me covered with the band peg 2.0's.
This one's gonna cost me, though - any chance you offer stealth-mode delivery to sneak past the wife?
Lol... for real though, choose a UPS/FedEx location as your delivery address and pick it up there ;)
To bad you cant have attachment on the bottom for belt squats or reverse hyper
Why can't we just store the utility seat on a bottom crossmember by putting utility pins through them?
Awesome! When and how much?

I literally just had my Rogue utility seat delivered today. I didn't know REP's was compatible with a 49" rack 😫
Many are selling their Rogue one's to get the REP! Just saying.😜
@@MacStrengthCo Easier to maneuver, pad options and more... sorry Carter. See if they have a return policy you can send it back under... "i don't like it" lol.
No 3/4 holes 😢. Sometimes I really dislike my bridge built rack.
easy fix with a unibit. I've done it one a few 5/8" holes upsized to 1".. super easy. Might be an option for you.
When will y’all release an in-rack belt squat compatible with the Ares or lat/row system?
Amen! I need this in the worst way!
It's in development.
@@REPfitness any time line estimates? Coming this year or later on?
Will trade rogue seat + cash for rep seat. No but seriously, killed this release.
*Arnold voice* - "No deal." ruclips.net/video/ajU548bGkJY/видео.html&ab_channel=CronoTrig
They should have put a hole in the middle for to use reps belt squat. Missed opportunity 😢
I have the rogue utility seat. Will the pad work on it???
Not sure. Our Utility Seat Pad has an inset groove at each end to ensure the pad sits flush on the top of the Utility Seat.
@@REPfitness so that means there’s 2 points that sits lower than the rest of the pad right. So that also means that the pad majority won’t really make contact with the seat. Is that correct?
@@andycane007 If I'm following... most of our pad would sit flush on a flat surface. But it may put a lot of stress on the wood and break it. Best to just sell the rogue one and upgrade to what you want ;)
@@REPfitness did I hear correctly. You’re offering to buy it off my hands 😏. How kind of you good sir.
Why is this seat pad $100 while the FB-5000 cleangrip pad only $50. I bought that and bolted it to a 2x10 painted black and it does everything this seat would do for me (seal rows - we all wanted this for seal rows). Nice product, but c'mon - $350 for the top part of a flat bench?
It's a more complex piece to manufacture since the bottom isn't flat. It fits snuggly inside the recess of the Utility seat. Glad you figured out a workaround that worked for you though!
Why did you design this seat and not to be compatible with a rack that contains your most popular attachment the Ares or Athena ? Or a rack that has a RBS or Lat Low Row. Many customers are disappointed. I’d like to use it for leg presses, is there any work around ? Thanks
Are you talking about the part where they say it's not compatible? Because that is just about the storage option with the band pegs that they are talking about if I'm not mistaken. Not the bench as a whole.
@@cthomas025 Hi, as far as storage it can be stored in the front uprights not the back 16” uprights where my Athena is. I am mostly concerned about what they say on there web page under FAQ’s about the seat not compatible with a rack with the Ares, Athena, RBS, or Lat Low Row. I want to use it with the ISO arms for leg presses and they state it can’t be used that way if you and any of those attachments I mentioned above. So I’m so I am wondering if there is a work around to do the leg presses using the ISO arms and Utility Seat ? My bench I’m thinking would be able to be positioned under the ISO arms because my ISO arms would be placed higher than 17 inches up the uprights. What’s your thoughts on e we hat Rep says about not being able to do leg presses if the user has the Ares, Athena , Lat Low Row and RBS ? Let me know . Thanks
The only issue is storage. Ofcouse it works with ares since you can just move trolley away in front and use it.
@@rambojohn7118 I think you're looking at the FAQ for storage.
@@REPfitness No, I’m ok with the storage, I want to use the seat with lever arms and Rep clearly states No if you have the Ares , Athena , RBS or Lat Low Row .
Is there an inside joke where they switched names at the start? Please send me a free Trap bar if I'm the first to catch this.
🙃
Y’all don’t miss. Gonna have to pre order one! 🤌🏾🔥
Thank you!
