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

It might be a spring coil that is being wound when you pull. That would allow you to add extra coils to add resistance and would explain why it gets harder the farther you pull (the tighter the coil). They should lean into the dynamic resistance and give each puck (?) a resistance range instead of a static number.

This got me thinking. Cable, gear reduction, axle pushes on coil spring or magnets. Then each additional puck has connector to the axle and self-contained additional spring or magnet. Gear reduction is so you can have a long pull Theoretically it sounds pretty simple actually, but I don’t have the tools or materials for making a proof of concept

Or you could get two sets of quality resistance bands for about $60 and have essentially the same thing.. I mean what the hell are these companies thinking? $1100? I got a used powertec functional trainer for $250

A pretty cool compact home gym piece, that I've purchased is the maxPro system. One of the huge downsides is that it only offers concentric tension. But it is extremely portal and weighs 10lbs, you could definitely fit it in your carry-on.

Nice review Coop.

You should attach a band to the handle and pull on the other end of the band. This would help us visualize (by length of band) the amount of tension and change that occurs with distance from unit.

Same problem as bands: Many compound pulls & single joint lifts require LESS resistance at the end of the positive rep to enable a productive # of full-range reps.

Coop review the Keiser functional trainer please. My physical therapist has one- they’re so smooth.

Dude so ur a gym equipment collector! Nice collection!

Great stuff! Any Gym Clock reviews in the works?

Bands also have accomidating resistance and are super cheap.... aaaand you can go as ridiciously heavy as you want... aaand you can use them in comination with a barbell... aaand you can put them around a plate loaded machine in some instances... and they can be attached in even more places with some creativity and some simpel carabiners or hooks.

Hey there Coop! Long time subscriber! What are your thoughts on the Ancore pro

It's a great concept but for $1,000USD (for two) seems a bit limited in weight and exercise selection. Tbh it seems like using resistance bands would be very similar to everything this can do

Please review the new Ancore Pro! It looks like they've made some improvements.

I agree. Great concept. Needs refinement. Im not a big fan of variable resistance machines, wich in my opinion this kindof is. If they could make it a constant resistance machine i would consiter it more.

Great review. Any other companies making something like this?

Solid!

Do you have a luggage scale. That would be a decent way to get an idea how much resistance is offered.

Coop, I know it's still stupid expensive, but was just curious if you were able to try out the pro and if it's any better.

I would love a dual package, but like you said I can’t justify that price for it. I have a lot of Rogue equipment that I paid good money for but I this takes the cake.

Hey Coop. Have you ever used an exer genie/apollo trainer/isocrobic trainer. Some similarities and plenty of differences. More a replacement for a sled than a functional trainer however as the apollo trainer it was a functional trainer able to be used in the absence of gravity. The similarities of pulling a cable through a small compact device made me think of the exer genie. I only recently became aware of such a device and am curious as to why it is not more widely used.

I bought the set with the wall brackets. For a small space this can’t be beat

Coop! Have you looked at the Luxiaojun plates? I wonder how similar they are to your favorite bumper plates, the Klokov(?)

Kind of want these

Coop, you should review the MaxPro. It’s similar to this but would like to see what you think about it.

Holy smokes! I have a home built power rack with high/low cable system that can do all the same things (albeit a little less convenient)that costed me less than $550 (and that was with the current high wood prices). Love the concept, but that's mighty expensive.

My biggest concern would be. What to attach it to if you don't have and rack or something sturdy to attach it to? How long will the velcro last? How fast will come at you if it ever came lose or if the object it's velcro to? Would it take your head off or just give you a mild headache? And last, will we see this product on gym fails videos?

I'd like to see more about the mounting system, velcro doesn't seem like the best especially over time. Does it hook into the holes on the rack at all?

Great review, thanks! Have you found a small cable pulley machine that does NOT increase the force / resistance as you pull further from the device AND has resistance in both directions (pulling the handle away from the device and bringing the handle towards the device)

Thanks coop! I agree seems like you could spend the 1000 better elsewhere, but a cool machine!

Any log bar reviews coming in the future?

Could see the Ancore trainer being useful in a smaller studio commercial gym setting. Price is high, but it's more compact and affordable than a keiser style cable system.

So if it's like an elastic band in the way it applies force why not use an elastic band that it's not $1000? It could be interesting if it applied constant force.

Would be great if they could do one that you can attach to studs if you don't have a cage, as well as have a couple of 5lb'ers so it's more women friendly. That 10lb jump is not always use friendly as you're trying to gain strength. They took the idea off of the Bowflex Revolution. Their weight stack is the same concept.

When did Paul.Blart start a gym youtube channel. Great vid Blart.

I wish you would have commented on what the resistance actually feels like. It sounds like it has a band-like resistance especially since it has the characteristic of bands. There was a similar bowflex system that had disks and I think those were bands inside their disks. Regardless, this has the potential but it is literally half of a full on double stack cable system.

Having already invested in a Functional Trainer and a set of Monster Bands don't have a need but if I did and they were closer to $200 a pop I would be interested in at least considering them.

Hey Coop, could you review the Perch?

Would be awesome to have in a home gym but the price is crazy. Soon tho!

You could get two Rogue Slingers, pin loading add-ons for each, and two extra pulley attachments for about the same price.....

This + a TRX would be perfect for truckers trying to stay in shape. Add a weight vest and you're set!

looks good machine i was comparing it also with the digital version" Voltra Trainer" which too is mega expensive .

Great concept for space savings but the price kills it

pretty cool. didn't know anything like this existed. as someone working out in a home gym room barely large enough to rack a barbell, but who misses cable accessory work, this has a lot of potential. Hell, even the current price on it would be justified if it could go up to more weight (150lb+ instead of 65lb per side) I think. Don't $2000-$3000 functional trainers only go up to around that weight, while taking up a ridiculous amount of space and being impossible to transport? excited that i might finally be able to do cable loaded facepulls again for $1000, yay.

will you be reviewing that REP pr5000 half rack you featured in this video? I'm looking to make something similar but with the pr4000.

6:30: I love my Keiser FT... and my Tuff Stuff PS-245 FT (Athlean X)... and my Bodymasters Belt Driven Lat Pulldown... and...

Coop is probably the only owner of these things

What would be the advantage of this over bands? Bands are cheaper, easier to increment (especially with multiples), easier to move, more versatile, and take up less space. There is a good chance I am missing out on some advantage of these cable resistance things. If someone has used both please let me know.

Coop, will you be reviewing the max pro also?

Did you try putting the “pucks” on from the other one to see if you can increase resistance?

for sure could be a game changer with a lower price and heavier weight. Maybe design the middle portion to be larger and accept smaller/ larger pucks. If it was $550 for both it would be an instabuy for most

Might as well review golden dumbells as well. Small and compact! And you get one dumbell for $52,000

So what would you recommend for a better price point?

Hey Coop, what REP Fitness Rack and setup is that? It looks compact with a lat pulldown.

Sorry to nitpick but bands and this device are Progressive Resistance. Accommodating would feel like the same resistance throughout the movement. Out of curiosity, did you try doubling up the two units? Both cables to one handle or grab both with one hand. If so, how does that affect the resistance?

2:10 it'll use a spring. They're compact and increase with distance

I wanted one till I watched your video lol 😂 back to more searching
