Hey Coop - Great review. I purchased this and installed it a few weeks ago. Absolutely love it. One thing I want to add to your review - not sure if it was mentioned in the comments, but with the long straps on each side - you can adjust the handles on straps to any height you want not just top and bottom. The pulleys are always top/bottom but the long strap and handles allow you to pull/push from any height. This feature makes it a lot more versatile. Actually its a pretty great feature that probably kept cost down. Just wanted to put that out there.

@SMS38i 11 ай бұрын

I have this and am very happy with it. I use a small corner of my garage for a gym, 10 x 8 ft. And I sometimes need even that space for temporary storage. This was exactly what I wanted. I have a prx fold up rack on one wall, the Amazon version, and this Anker 3 on the other wall. It’s the perfect slim setup. I use it mostly for back and arm exercises, have done leg/glute and chest. It’s not great for chest flys as Coop explained. And you cannot do weighted pull ups, it will just pull you into the uprights. But regular pull ups work fine. If you have tons of space, of course you would not get this one. But if you want to park your car in your workout space, or have a small multipurpose room/apartment, this is perfect. Put this next to a prx or space saving rack and you have everything you need.

Nice functional trainer. Many home gyms have specific attachment points, so this is not really a problem. The adjustable rail attachment points is a "nice to have" feature. You can almost always adapt your exercise to the fixed attachment points with a little thought and ingenuity. I'd weld up a cross bar with two attachment points so you get the full weight of the stack. Nice review, and more in like with what home gym owners like to see.

@onecargaragegym 11 ай бұрын

The Archon dual cable station weight stack is superior to this one IMO. Yes it only has a single column, but it's an adjustable column unlike torque's. It also has a heavier stack, is narrower, and has a shallower depth. I have one and it's great.

@timjohns8547 11 ай бұрын

I just bought this unit and love the compact wall space, this gives us so much more floor options in our exercise room for it to be a multi-functional room. Went together nicely and the directions were very good and easy to follow. Now it's put together, BUT... I really wish there was an Owner's Manual that showed all the different routines it can do. Many will be basic but I'm sure there are many that I'm missing because of not having this manual. That being said, do you know of a manual that may be similar to this style of unit that I can download and use to help guide our complete workout routines? Does anyone know of a manual out there? TIA

Using the lower pulleys and pulling the arms up toward the sky targets the upper chest, not lower chest and Vice Versa, using the high pulleys and moving the arms downward like on a cable cross over, this targets the lower chest. Just letting you know for the future because you really are gonna want to get this right. Take Care

You could technically put 2 or 4 eyelet bolts into a stud on either side and give yourself 2 extra middle heights for extended pulleys though. You just get some additional nylon wheels off amazon and carabener and some extra wire to run through them but yeah, a total oversight. Hell they could have built in 2 additional middle height connection points. Then sold a kit! Come in torque, do better. For what it is, a bit spendy.
