This seems like a decent low budget alternative to the Tonal and the Speediance,etc. Not so high tech as the others obviously . My concern would be the durability and reliability of the electronics and the build. Seems like these types requires you to become a computer programmer to a degree in building workout programs,tracking progress,etc. No neg.resistance is a deal breaker and it appears gangly when folded up( with the vertical frame). I think Ill skip the programming curve and just get exercising on my Total Gym and resistance bands for now. Still,this machine seems promising esp.in the next generation or two. Thanks Dave for the interesting content and your winning personality!
I think I will stick with bands. I have door price and it seems that I can do much of what this gives it , expect I have to change bands and not turn a dial. Maybe when I am no longer poor i will hit something like this up. lol
How long are the cables?........Thank you for the video!! I'm looking for a device like this to use with my 93" weight rack. I want to stand up and mimic my arm swim strokes (butterfly and crawl) I have my pulleys mounted on top of my 93" rack. I'm 6'1". My total arm stroke range is 5'5".. are the cables longer than 5'5"? Not worried about negative resistance. I have wrist weights
Sorry I'm new to all this. Mind explaining what you mean by negative resistance? Does that mean it's not strong when it comes down like resistance bands?
It's a piece of junk. I'm one of those unfortunate backers of this junk! Do yourself a favor and stay away. Their customer service is the worst ever. They didn't care about anyone during the campaign. They didn't care about anyone asking for a refund. The unit is cheaply made. That backrest thing came with ripped on the side. An A4 paper is thicker than the material they used. App you asked? Even a kid would have made a better app than that. It is also supposed to control the tension of the motor but whatever you set, it's not changing anything. So you have to do it yourself with the knob. It's a junk. But the worst part of it is the customer service and the whole team behind it. Also, they promised to deliver back in December. But I received it last week. There are people still waiting for this junk. so, Stay away from Unitop and everything they will make in the future. I respect to these people reviewing it. But I'm sharing my honest opinion.
