Another great review, Jay! So ready to see the Prime Fitness Prodigy HLP Selectorized Rack vs. Functional Trainer comparison! Any hints as to when we might expect it?

@jaycruz.threefold Жыл бұрын

I’m getting to it! For the most part they are very similar. There are obvious things that are different but I wanna try and provide new info!

@Logan-kb5yu Жыл бұрын

I got one of the early units, it looks like there’s a few changes they made since then. One thing I didn’t like was not having enough adjustability on the ankle pad up/down. In a personal training setting I had people in between 2 of the 3 adjustments. I ended up drilling 2 more holes for the pop pin to latch onto.

@jaycruz.threefold Жыл бұрын

I’ve noticed that they keep changing the design as time goes on in a few of their units. It’s good that they do that instead of just pumping out the product as is. I haven’t needed to have the extra settings as you’ve mentioned but I do see how they would be good. Might consider doing that if needed

@devin3863 Жыл бұрын

I like this concept of being able to change the resistance profile. Have you tried plates on position 2 and 3 together or would that make it like position 1?

@jaycruz.threefold Жыл бұрын

It still works with different combinations. The drop off is a little less in different combinations but position 2 and 3 end up being mostly the same as position 1.

@MetalsForBrunch Жыл бұрын

awesome machine but I would go with the weight stack version of this. love the combo for this machine.

@ottawafrank Жыл бұрын

Some plate loaded machine really fall short on the "weight profile", as in there is very little resistance at the bottom of the leg extension and then its very heavy at the top. Do you feel like the prime with its 3 weight horns fixes this issue for both the leg extension and leg curl? Does the resistance feel as good as on a dedicated cable+weight stack machine?

@jaycruz.threefold Жыл бұрын

When you place the weight at different positions the weight profile does change a lot. If your reps are slow and controlled the the variances are perfect. If you’re trying to speed through the reps the weight feels weightless in the different positions for different ranges of motion. It works, as long as you’re working out correctly. Paced movement is what works best

@mcgKW Жыл бұрын

They should make a plastic thing at the entrance of the seat slots or whatever you called it so it's more stable.

@jaycruz.threefold Жыл бұрын

There is some UHMD plastic there but it need to be just a few millimeters thicker to make it snug. It’s pretty stable once you’re locked in

@stevefridman Жыл бұрын

With the way that the ankle pad attaches (single attachment point), other machines have a ton of flex. Does the ankle pad flex on this one?

@jaycruz.threefold Жыл бұрын

It flexes just a little. Maybe 1/4”. I agree that the center attached pads have less wiggle but unless the cable is coming from directly below the lever they will all have some kind of very slight imbalance

@freshman-og4dp 2 ай бұрын

Why did you not consider the weight stack version? Was it because of the weight limit that you can put on the machine? Usually the weight stack ones are more stable than the plate loaded version of most machines on the market i believe?

@jaycruz.threefold 2 ай бұрын

I did consider it but I had so many of the silver Rogue plates it didn’t make sense to pay the extra for the selectorized version. For multiple clients the selectorized is probably better. Once you use the machine a few times it levels off just fine. Also, the weight limit on the stack was a consideration. Most people won’t max it out though

@michaelsofine 6 ай бұрын

Haha the first gym I worked out in didn’t have a 35 and when I finally saw one I was like what is this!? They are uncommon for sure.

@jaycruz.threefold 3 ай бұрын

Yeah I have 2 sets but there really isn’t a good use for them. 25 and a 10 makes more sense to me. Cost wise as well

Would you go with this one or the hybrid unit with the selectorized stack after having this one? Also, what’s the widest and longest measurement of this one?

@jaycruz.threefold Жыл бұрын

I might actually choose to go with the selectorized. The convenience is unmatched for a selectorized. As long as you’re using it right outgrowing it would be pretty difficult. MEASUREMENTS: LEG EXT: 58L x 49W x 49H in. LEG CURL: 76L x 46W x 49H in.

@arkham5018 Жыл бұрын

@@jaycruz.threefold the selectorized hybrid is def what I’m leaning toward. It seems to have a bit smaller of a footprint too. I have room for one more machine in my garage and it may be it. I bet the lead time for a selectorized would be crazy long though

@Docmcfly233 10 ай бұрын

Is it worth the price currently at around $4500… I can afford it but idk if it is worth and maybe I should just buy a cheap selectorized option, my total gym has cost 5000 this would basically double my spending in one purchase. I have limited space so I have no machines or cables at the moment.

@jaycruz.threefold 10 ай бұрын

If you’re questioning it, than I’d say go with a different option. If you’re looking for cheaper but still good and with multiple uses, EliteFTS makes a leg curl/extension combo that you can also use bands on as well as do seal rows on

@Docmcfly233 10 ай бұрын

I have issues with low back from auto accident. I avoid heavy squats/deadlift, I need something that can hit legs with no stress on low back and not do 25+ reps. This seems to have best force curve. The one you mentioned is like the cheapo ones with no tension at the bottom of movement. Also I was going to do legpress/hacksquat/pendulum squat/ but I like leg ext/curl because it puts little stress on ankles and knees. I need to figure out if it’s worth the space. This machine seems bulletproof and durable and it’s the only one that fits my needs perfectly. But price for function (only does two things) makes me hesitant. Do you have an aff link for prime?

I was debating whether to get this machine but ended up getting incline press instead. The wobbliness is rather disturbing! I hope the incline press isn't wobbly too!

@jaycruz.threefold Жыл бұрын

Once you’re on it and once you put weight on it, it’s fine. I might unload the weight and see if I can loosen the bolts to hep it settle. It could possibly be how it meets the floor where it’s placed. Maybe my floor is crooked. 🤷‍♂️ Thanks for the watch and support!

@@jaycruz.threefold Super helpful video! Now I know I should get some 35s, and that it's possible to dismantle the machine (my gym will be on the 3rd floor of my house). I've watched your review of the Prodigy HLP Selectorized, and that made me decide to add it to my order! I also bought the Prime lateral raise, pec dec/rear delt, and incline press. Did you happen to get any of these machines? If you did I would be excited for your detailed review!
