for anyone else wondering it's $2100 for the unit without accessories and it goes up to $5022 if you want a pair of them with all the accessories if I had the money to go for something like this I'd definitely support the company without a subscription based model and with openness towards universal accessories (shown by using the simple carabiner). The only disappointing/unforgivable thing is the lack of android support, but hopefully that's actually on its way.

That seems reasonably priced. I paid around that much for my rep ares, rack, and accessories. Stuff like this is the future for sure. I personally would wait till this stuff gets more reliable. With my rep ares if something breaks it's a cable and a pully which are cheap fixes...something breaks on this it's a whole new $2000 machine.

Bought this after watching your video, and used it for the first time today.. It a totally new way to train with the eccentric mode that really gets a great workout. Definitively worth the money.
I have a pair and they’re some of my favorite pieces of kit. Unfortunately the cost will likely keep a lot of people away, I know I was hesitant having never used it before but after spending a few months with them I can see the value prop with everything included. Have been using these more than my selectorized lat pull down/adjustable cable column.

Yeah, between Costco savings on the FTX, 90lb pair of power blocks, bells of steel bench and trap bar, Amazon power rack and cheap plates/olympic bar on Facebook marketplace, my home gym is still cheaper than buying a pair of these and I can still buy a leg press/hack squat machine and still be under the price of these.

This is one of the coolest innovations in gym technology in my lifetime.

$2100. I didn’t hear the price mentioned ONCE. - Sliding rack mount, $249 - Adaptive rack mount, $159 - Fixed rack mount, $99 - Bar mount, $59 - Travel platform, $199 - Travel suitcase, $349 Wish it wasn't battery powered, but very cool. Battery specs: - 1700 mah - 140 W charging max Plus, I don't trust the no subscription promise. Companies go back on this every second of the day, then act as if they are doing us all a favor.

I think it's fairly priced, but want to see the reliability before giving up my Rep Ares. If you read their website the amount of resistance you use greatly impacts its battery life which makes sense. They only tested it between 40-100 lbs....which makes me think using it at 200 lbs very long is a stretch. When this becomes reliable technology I'll jump onboard. Makes a lot more sense than a cross functional trainer and easier to move and use when traveling.

Not a good investment. Unless, I suppose, you can't afford a house with space for a real gym.
@11:06 I've tried the ARX half a dozen times until the business that used it went out of business because it is just such an expensive machine. The guy that purchased it has truly become the strongest man I know and having tried it just blew my mind on how it can create that load... I see myself purchasing them just on that recommendation of the similarity to an ARX, but this thing looks like it'll fill so many voids in home gyms or when you're traveling.

ARX accommodates every inch of leverage-advantage. The full-strength one can exhibit at near extension of a fresh ARX negative leg press rep is >1,000 lbs for almost anyone. People don't know what sustained full effort is until they've tried ARX.

@@lazur1 Just to be clear, I wasn't knocking ARX for the ability to train folks. It's an amazing system... The pricing model doesn't work for the common consumer. A regular r person isn't going to afford to have one in their home gym and it's not a straightforward as it seems to be able to run a gym and be truly profitable on ARX. Sure people are doing it but at $100 a session just to keep the lights on It's unaffordable or only for folks with deep pockets. The product mentioned in the video at $2,000 has a much more manageable price as an ex gym owner, I could manage to make that worthwhile. For most clients being able to change that strength curve is going to create hell of adaption for the muscles. Not ARX adaption but a strong stimulus. If I were still running a gym I could literally pay an employee an extra $10,000 a year versus having the sunk cost of paying for a specialty piece of equipment. Honestly with the overhead of a place like 24 hour fitness or planet fitness they could afford to bring ARX in because they have the kind of overhead that would make sense. From a training perspective, the first time I tried ARX, I had such a massive energy output It rivaled Any workout I'd done in the past. I felt so bad. I checked my blood sugar and I took a glucose tablet and I'm not diabetic lol. I am the biggest ARX fanboy and I'm just saying the money don't work for the common person. But if you added that device above in the video plus a kbox for eccentric training, you're going to produce amazing strong athletes at a fraction of the cost.
Finally a company understand what we need a cable system in a garage gym that can attach to a rack. Great job. I have been waiting for this product in a few years now. I have seen a few simular but they did not do the job. Ancor, vetruvian, maxfit.....and so on👌👌👌👌👌👏👏👏👏👏❤❤️

So excited for the review! One of the coolest products I have seen in a while and it totally makes sense that engineers from DJI made something like this.
wow this looks amazing. definitely top on my wishlist
I love the idea, but I REALLY wish it had a dial to select the weight. Analog controls are better in the gym imo.
Very cool. I love my Tonal because it takes up so little space, but if you have a rack, this makes a lot of sense.
Ive been waiting for magnetic resistance training devices where you can dial in the weight precisely but this is as close to that as probably safer. awesome tech
These are pricey for sure but still are amazing/gamechanging tech. 'Free' content idea: I'd love to see a homegym set up with a pair of these as a core. Outside of traditional deadlifts and maybe squats, 400lbs of resistance from a pair is more than enough for the majority of lifters and for people who don't/can't have a traditional home gym setup with mats/power rack/barbell. The maneuverability of these make them way more versatile than a tonal style set up.

How long will it last, though? I have some plates we picked up used on the 70s. Use them all the time.
Last thought; an idea might be for them to offer a sturdy vest with attachment (like a weight vest but no weights needed) so that with something to elevate like 2 chairs you could use this for the equivalent of "weighted pushups" similar to bench press when you travel, or to possibly replace any need for barbells at all even at home, if one likes using this instead of live weights

A grabbed 2 Unitree Pumps for under $350 total, on sale. Not nearly as heavy duty as this, but is has door anchors. I'm really enjoying them.
awesome stuff
I look at something like this and think, how can I attach it to my rack attached standing leg curl? My prone leg bench? My Sorinex Bulldog pad? If you used something to elevate your body, you could potentially use this for belt squats. The possibilities are limitless.
Very interesting. I'm curious how long that thin rope lasts and if they will have replacements for it.
Great review. Coop how did you anchor the black 3x3 upright that you attached the Beyond Power Voltra to? Is it attached to the floor or table? Being able to have a single 3x3 upright you could then use for dips, resistance work from this or using a leg roller for split squats seems really useful
Very interesting product and loved the review. Would be nice to see what the app features are like can you build a workout within the app that way you don't have to spend too much time changing the load on the screen. Also, do we know how long the battery will last and cost to swap it etc? Is the screen prone to cracking if you drop an accessory on it? Is this something you would have to be careful of when using it?
The parachute mode seems interesting as a way to auto regulate resistance based on your power (like actual dropsets)
I'm so glad we get to see a review of this soon. I looked at it recently and it seems awesome but its way too expensive to blind buy.
Couldn't wait to see your review of this. I don't think this is the answer for cable machines, but certainly is moving innovation forward in the home gym space. Too bad the pricing. If it was $2500/pair, I would jump all over this. Also. I wish these companies would stop with this subscription model. It's clouding the actual cost of the items.
The heavy negatives is an exciting prospect. For curls the only thing similar using standard cables is cheating the weight up with a bit of leg power then strict form on the eccentric.
How long does the battery last with regular usage and the price of replacing it?
Whoo! I've been waiting for this review! Thanks so much!
Hey Coop! Would you do a review on the body solid pro weight assist dip chin up machine? Ive lost 56 lbs so far using an all in one gym plus Nordictrack select weight dumbbells, Rep Ez curl bar, Rep ab3000 2.0 bench. I am Interested in a dip station but still to heavy to do all of my body weight for dips or chin ups. I saw this machine online and thought it would be great for building up to full body weight exercises. Thanks for all the great content! Jim
My first thought watching those deadlifts.. that bar is eventually going through that screen when you let go :D
I think I'd stick with a Unitree Pump. It only goes up to 44lbs of resistance, but they're only ~$300 USD. I bought a couple when they first launched and they served me very well until I got my Rep rack with Athena. This has better control of features, but that price tag is a huge limiter.
@sethcohen582

I totally agree about the unitree pump. The other thing that I am struggling with is I don’t own a rack (no room for one). So the mounting options for this device seems to be a bit limiting. The unitrees can mount to just about anything including doors, and the fact that you can sync several of them together with all of the features that Coop demonstrates in this video seems to be a better value. I just checked, and the unitree’s are going for around $200 now, getting 6 of them (240lb max) would cost 1/2 of this device with what I think is a ton more mounting flexibility. I guess a downside for the unitree would be the battery life. However, for me, it’s not that big of a deal to simply charge them every two or three workout sessions.

What is the pull chord made of? The chord material looks like woven nylon or poly. This would be the most likely part of product to fail. If so, how expensive would a new pull chord cost and would it be a DIY replacement?
Using this with a squat rack. With no other weight on the rack, what would be the best option to weigh down the rack while using these?
great, i might have to get a crossbar for my power rack so i can attach it to the floor and use this for weighted pullups...
Is the cable long enough that you can have the travel-board on the ground and overhead press with it?
You should review the Unitree pump
Looks great for reverse squats, I’ve been looking for a good solution for that.
This is exactly what Ive wanted for a long time! Price is a bit out of reach for me, especially for a pair. But I hope they come down.
Can you do static holds with this one? If so, if you raise it on 100 and hold it, will it be 100 or what you set the lowering weight to be?
The ability to change loads like that is HUGE ! This would be the best rehabilitation tool .
This thing is incredible. I hope the app is well designed to keep track of workouts.
If you were to lose control and the handle flies out of your hands, any Chan’s of the display getting wrecked ??
I could see this in retirement homes. If people can attach a “rack”/frame to a wall it would easily allow older folks to have a functional trainer in their room.
When the most revolutionary thing cost as much as a decent budget home gym set up x.x lol
love it
If you have two of them, and attach a barbell, would you be able to get 400 pounds of resistance total? 200 per each side? Or is there a reason where the weight distribution would be different and not actually 400? If so this could be great for heavier deadlifts, squats, bench, etc

Great idea but there is few similar products for fraction of price. The only reason you would buy one of resistance pulleys is to avoid paying whole price of the standalone cable station (that is around 2.5k for 100kg stack). I know the size also matters but then if you can fit a power cage then it's also cheaper to get power cage with cable pulleys (yes they build them). Don't get me wrong, if that device would be for 20% of current value I would for sure consider getting 2 for my power cage. 🤞 they will lower the cost by removing the screen and battery just to have a pure mechanical device that is affordable.
This product looks insane
DJI engineers have done some amazing things. They recently revolutionized the 3D printing home market with Bambu Labs. Real innovation and great quality, I feel like DJI was the start of China getting in the game for high end electronics.

Friday GGR! Best way to start the weekend :) Lets go!
I truley think this product or one similar will be the next essential versatile option same as a dumbell/barbell/cable. There are just too many applications for this. One thing I hope they program would be the inverse of band tension, replicating what something like Prime equipment can accomplish.
Have you tried belt squatting with this?
I can totally envision people putting this in the van life builds. Personally i would have it atach to the outside of the van or when you open the door it attached to the inside(not on the door)
Anyone know what make are those standing light bars in the background?
What about Sole SRVO? No subscription, universal carabiner attachment, but only $1650.
Being able to change the concentric and eccentric weights is a game changer, but I can't justify that price. I'll be interested to see how low the price can eventually go.
Very impressive product and as always, great review. Still. With how much gym cost has dropped, at least in my area, would it be cheaper to go to a gym?!
This could be really awesome for traveling actually. Looking forward to the comparison Coop!
looks really advanced, i however will have to keep using my Amazon resistance bands at that price point

Had been waiting on that review for some time! Once they come out with a 400lbs V2, it'll be an absolute must-have. Still gonna probably grab a pair of 1s as is.
I'm very curious about electronic resistance trainers. But I have yet to see one that makes sense. The Voltra is $2,500 for 200 lbs of resistance -- not a good deal. They show people hooking 2 of these to a power rack, which gets you 400 lbs, but costs $5,000!! Note that the mounts are extra, at least $250. Also, the "cable" is string that looks like it would be worn out in weeks, and costs $100 to replace. The battery is $400 ($800 for a pair) to replace. Altogether, looks like it would cost around $3,000 over the next couple of years to maintain one, or $6,000 to maintain two of them.
My home gym is just a pull-up bar and a pair of rings. I wll never spent about 5k to have something like that. But it's cool though. I think not much people will buy it for that price but we'll see.
Off all the things you dont need in a homegym this is up the list
I'd never get this for rdls, the rom is already limited by the plates being too big and this seems to start even higher, surely you aim to increase flexibility as much as possible in your hamstrings.
The cyber security in IoT is a bad joke, to hear that this doesn't require an internet connection and subscriptions is gold. And if you don't believe me look up this story about millions of 'smart' toothbrushes DDoS-ing a bank server. Anything connected to the internet is vulnerable but not everything is protected.
