The Coop score came and went. We’ll miss you.

A "smart gym" that isn't that "smart"...you did a good job at pointing out why most home gym owners would pass. Nice review though!

I'm sure there is a place for this "smart gym."There is also free fitness videos on you tube.🤷🏾‍♀️ I'll stick with my barbell, squat rack, adjustable dumbbells, and cast iron weights, it just can't be beat. Great video though, I like seeing the latest gadgets.

So basically streaming iFit to a tv and using your own weights seems much more practical?

As a former fitness equipment technician I can assure you that most of NordicTrack equipment is not built for commercial purposes hence why you don't see any of their equipment in any commercial gym

way too laggy for a $3000 device

I’ll never get sold on the whole smart home gym thing. Lemme push that steel any day

Coop is slowly going from Garage Gym Reviews to Studio Apartment Hipster Gym Reviews.

Request: Mirror is coming out with their own dumbbells that are supposed to integrate with their technology. Would love to see a review of these.

I guess I'm the ideal Vault buyer. I've ordered this and it's not here yet, but I'm excited about it even after viewing this negative review. I can deal with the smudges using a capacitative glove - I'll just cut off one finger, maybe store it inside the vault. I'm just looking to get stronger ahead of some athletic challenges, but I'm a hundred pound woman - I'll probably not need more than thirty pound weights for my purposes. I don't want mirror feedback for privacy reasons, so the flaws, aside from the costs, aren't really flaws for me.

Been waiting for a review like this. Thank you!!!

Aside from Tontal, Peloton and some Smart Rowers, all these tech-equipments look gimicky and trashy.

For 3 grand I got a full rep fitness home gym including plates bar bench and pr-5000 rack plus accessories

Coop at 3:20 you said that NordicTrack designs commercial equipment. I’ll admit those dumbbells and kettlebells look really really nice but that’s actually false. If you read the fine print of NordicTrack’s warranties none of their equipment is rated for commercial use. They like to use the “commercial” tag for marketing purposes but you’d never see their equipment in an Equinox, Gold’s Gym, YMCA, etc.

The future is equipment-agnostic workout tech. Smart collars that you can put on any barbell, sensors for your shoes, etc that infuse workout tech into the equipment you already have. It's a smart camera that you mount on the TV that's already in your gym with a platform that works with the phone that's already in your pocket.

I dig the clean lines on this system, but as a weightlifter I would never consider owning a smart gym. These are obviously being marketed to beginners, or the middle aged man or woman who wants to excercise, not train.

Technology like the new iPhone is outdated after the first 12-36 months. It looks like these new smart gyms that are software heavy have a very short lifespan until they will be outdated. My dumbbells aren’t getting any smarter, but they sure aren’t getting outdated every 3 years ;) #FoodForThought

That's so dope. Nortic track never let me down.

Maybe slow down on the "Smart" gym product reviews. Not all of us are ready for it, nor do we want it. Watching 1 or 2 of these things per month would be fine, but most of us want to see real gym products. Speaking of... how about Rep's wide pad upgrades for their adjustable benches? Is a 14" pad on a quality FID a game changer or what?

Given how heavy the dumbbells go it's just a mirror vault for doing your laterals

I’m very meh on this one. They could have just put a set of powerblocks in there for better value and range on the kettlebells and dumbbells. I feel like this is just a way to try and boost the already underwhelming subscription service. I’ve never understood the need for those I’m the world of a non-interactive live service. I can get literally any program I want from KZfaq if there isn’t going to be interaction.

I see these in hotel rooms as amenities, etc. I think people who are inclined to work out at home are going to realize they already have gear and probably a laptop or phone for a class/routine/program etc. and mirrors that are just mirrors are cheap. I think the Titan CEO had it right actually. Sensors and cameras and software on your own gear with your own weights is probably the sweet spot.

Finally getting into a financial situation where I can afford a home gym and I'm struggling to figure out what to do haha. Right now I just figured start off with an adjustable bench and adjustable dumbbells until I can afford something a bit more built out haha

Good review, thank you

Coop, I never hear people talk about the warranty. On a lot of this type of stuff if you buy any of these mirror or cycles with monitors built on they only warranty with the original owner and zero warranty comes to the second owner. So if you try to save a few hundred buying used keep in mind you lose the warranty completely!

Looks like a giant iPhone! Lol! I have a Norditrack treadmill that I love but was penalized in my warranty because it’s located in my garage. Don’t know if they will do the same thing with this. I’m hesitant now with purchasing treadmills, bikes from Norditrack or even peloton if they will void the warranty if the product is set up in the garage

Love this series - I know this is kind of outside the realm of this but any thought on reviewing the Nintendo Switch ring fit? Sort of seems like a family smart home gym but never messed with it. Would love your thoughts if it sounds fun

Love your work GGR

As an Airbnb add....seems like it would do the trick. Would you recommend something else for a minimal work out add for an airbnb?

Basically, if it suits your need. I got this because I want a mirror in my garage for working out and I'll put the adjustable nordic dumbbell on the bottom and find space for towels maybe water bottles. $2,000 now.

Nice hair cut Coop

Smart gyms will be the future for commercial premium gyms and the wealthy. The cost of a standard home gym is still pretty expensive for the average person. Sure the cost of the tech will go down with time, but the cost of purchasing and shipping weight will never really change, so adding a tech factor that you will need to update, maintain, have more potential maintenance, as well as failures makes it not ideal for the average user. Smart home gyms remind me of the bowflex machines. They can do a little bit of everything, and maybe someone who doesn’t do much but wants a small footprint for working out will get this, but it will never be the standard. Iron and steel will remain king

They didn’t really commit to the yoga folks or the weightlifting 🏋️ peeps. It’s stuck uselessly in between. I would rather they dump the yoga crap and add a bar with more weight options! For the price it’s not a great fit for most home gym folks. Thanks for the reviews! I’ve been lifting casually for around 6 months and I’ve already outgrown the weights in this unit.

I got the Nordic track vault the tempo hydrow and just ordered the tonal

The lack of weight is especially frustrating when you consider Nordic track already makes an adjustable dumbbell that goes up to 55 pounds.

This thing is on clearance for $999 now, does that make it worth it?

Would you recommend it at $999 for the Vault Complete? It’s on close out and I’m thinking about it.

Maybe they can add integrated updates to the software like Tesla, as opposed to Apple where you ‘need’ a new phone every two years...

My Own Opinion: People who are serious about significantly improving their own health/physical capabilities and performance are not going to be interested in a lot of the 'smart gym' all in one solutions that are coming onto the market nowadays.

I don't hate it but someone starting off is better off going w a 1) pair of running shoes, 2) pairs of 20 and 30 lb dumbbells, and 3) simple mat for ground work

Coop don’t believe I’ve seen you review or even mention the “Ironmaster IM2000” is that something you’d be interested in looking into.

Tonal is the King of all smart gyms! Nothing can come close to Tonal!

Coop, tell me more about the sexy wooden wall-bar in the background.

I thought those dumbbells were tracking something for that price. I use the iFit treadmill with the heart monitor and it's great but I might as well just use the iFit videos on the tv with regular dumbbells instead of this.

What ever happened to the review for the Force USA All In One Trainer?

Do a fitness watch review🥺🔥

Let's see a bodybuilders, mma fighters and boxers use these tech savvy machines.

Oh look. Another disposable product. Once it's obsolete you get to replace it. Or if you get a power spike in your home you now have a brick since not every home has surge protection. Strangely iron never gets obsolete and is not subject to power surges.

I don't think they sale this anymore.

Thanks for the review. Much appreciated. Do you have some where that reviews all of these the mirror, tempo, tonal, etc all in one place?

I gues im old fasioned, i just dont get all this tech for a simple thing like working out, just reminds me of that scene in rocky where drago is working with scientists and rocky is punching a piece of meat. Now tech and learning is the guide to getting better, but grinding and mindset instead of looking at a computer while your training just doesnt do it for me. If i were to advice ANYONE to do some bodyweight training and cardio and they want to have something that uses tech to keep them motivated... Just get a switch with ring fit, for like what 400euro together your done? cheaper second hand. Probably tracks it much better for the price then a thing like this does. Friend that has it does climbing, and another does kung fu/climbing and they say it is great for cardio. Great video, just shows its not for me. Hope you get to that ATX brand (golden barbell) you commented to me about a week orso ago =] Cheers coop

Best to get a bullworker i got it can do my whole body I have got good toning and fat loss since having it since last year for only 200 get that folks

Coop can you review the Bodycraft RFT functional trainer / power rack combo?

Is it okay to deadlift in a squat rack?

Smart gym equipment is dumb. If you really don't know how to workout, join a small gym that offers HIIT or crossfit classes and learn the exercises for about 6-12 months. Then cancel the gym membership and build your home gym with dumbells, kettlebells, barbell and bumpers, plyo boxes, an air runner, bench and power rack. That's all you need. Do the same circuits you learned from your gym and do new circuits that you learn from youtube, which is FREE. Don't spend on expensive smart home gym equipment. Be smart!

doing storage work as well, and smart side lacking but doing basic needed job

Where did you get that "American Made" banner????

3k is way to much. For less then half that you can have a full rack set up and adjustable dumbbells. And with all the KZfaq resources for programs i really dont see their videos as a seeking point.

Seems a LOT cheaper to head over to say Walmart spend a little for an adjustable dumbbell set(and kettlebells if you need them ), buy some bands and a yoga mat and then stream work out videos on KZfaq while you exercise in front of a mirror 🤔

do you guys like latex free resistance rubber bands?

I'm surprised with some of the negative reviews. I was so impressed with the kzfaq.infoUgkxMwYg0MOXR4M-oGeyBsNSYe1aPOUoRH6D cage that I got the lat pulldown attachment that goes with it. It is equally outstanding. I don't have one complaint other than putting it together is a job. The instructions and packaging of the parts are very well designed and organized. Also, I stripped and damaged the pull down cable the first day, admitting it was my stupid fault, and they quickly replaced it at no charge. I'm 6'5, 280lbs and fit in the cage just fine. Glenn B

I normally don’t comment on your videos, but this product is so shitty and so extremely overpriced I had to write it down and share it with y’all. 3K?!? Are you guys kidding?!? This is the worst thing since

What flooring is that?

Just buy dumbbells up to 30 pounds from Walmart. Oh… and order a how to workout book for beginners from Amazon. What a waste of time and money. Horrible money grab

Any Black Friday sales for good adjustable benches?

No one who owns this will get any gains.

I'll stick with the Tonal

There's this thing called youtube... I swear it does the same thing. And you can literally get dumbells at Walmart that are that light. Just buy a nice home gym for that much geeeeez

These so called smart home gyms will be very popular along with flying cars in the very near future.

Ever had an object, band, or weight get away from you while working out. Now think of that happening while using these expensive mirror touch screen gyms. Lots of shattered screens, screens that break in their own from Poor quality. And then it just sits in a corner or is free on Craigslist.

meer review

Great review 👍🏾 Actual product 👎🏾

I'm still glad i bought my loadable olympic dumbbells instead of actual dumbbells it just always seems like such a waste of money and space with individual sets..

What happened to the “Coop score”? This thing is trash. No different than the nordictrack ski my parents had in 95’ which was used as a clothes hanger.

Meh....they are about 18 months too late. Peloton hit a "home" run because they were able to take advantage of the timeframe of the pandemic. The touchscreen looks very nice and an improvement over Tonals cellphone interface IMHO. Instead of the individually-weighted dumbells and kettlebells they should have Instead included adjustables. What they've included is not nearly worth $1k. The fact that the integrated camera isn't yet working makes this whole system half-baked. Not even close to being worth the price not knowing if or when the camera will be working.

Круто, привет с России

It’s just a big phone that’s all, big whoop

Tonal

fuck the 4k price tag and useless tech.. id buy a regular free standing mirror with storage all day long of similar design...

For the Algorithm!

I think coop is too nice. This product is absolutely overpriced for what it offers.

$3000 for a few dumbbells' and rubber bands plus a useless app. I'll pass.

It looks like a giant iPhone. I don't need any more iPhone in my life. Back to the ol barbell, ey

Coop, you're cool but this is Total waste of money! Buy a mirror from Lowe's and some power blocks and KZfaq for free.

Don't buy any product from nordictrack. Big regrets

It kinda looks like a giant iPhone 😂

useless and made by one of the companies with the poorest customer service... No thanks

Absolute garbage company and products. Look up the reviews on their parent company.

Man. This thing sucks

This is a complete joke compared to tonal

You keep saying it's a great product, except, everything you show us is a reason not to buy! LOL savage

Just looks like an overpriced cabinet tbh

Nordic track is pure garbage 🗑

WASTE OF MONEY

🇫🇷 Après achat et utilisation : Les moins = - La qualité de l écran tactile est peu réactif et d une résolution très mediocre (lors des vidéos apparaissent des pixels). L'éclairage est faible on ne voit pas clairement et pour couronner le tout le coach est sur un fond noir... - il n'y a aucune possibilité de créer son propre programme personnifié, en y ajoutant uniquement les exercices qui nous intéresse, bref la grosse grosse déception ! - il n'y a que des cours coaching , nous sommes obligé de suivres les cours de 30 à 45 min en entier, il est possible de mettre en pause mais impossible d' avancer ou de faire retour lors du cours !!😮 - les cours ifit sont speed et surtout et uniquement en anglais !!😭 A quoi sert la traduction française lors des exercices !!? Vous vous voyez allongés a suivres et lire en même tps ?? N'importe quoi.😓😰 - l interface🤮 ne propose pas youtube, google chrome,...impossible de lire des vidéos.. Ou d'autres applications.. Vous avez qu'une possibilité c'est de prendre l abonnement ifit et rien d'autre ! Sans abonnement les cours sont cadenassés. -Vous ne pouvez pas ajouter vos musiques préférées. 🎶 - aucun port USB. 💦 - possibilité du Montage a 460 euros environ 😮😓!! Les += Le meuble est en acier, très lourd robuste, faut être a 2 minimum attention aux escaliers en cas, de livraison. Impératif livraison ds une pieces de vôtre domicile !! En définitif je déconseille cer article. Peu de liberté réellement, du forcing sur un abonnement mal adaptés sur cet article. J'en suis très déçu. J'aurai du me contenter d'un meuble bas pour mes altéres , d'un écran tactile fixer au mur cela est bien olus avantageux
