I appreciate that they’ve considered other ecosystems. I bought into Rogue 7 years ago, but there are a lot more companies making home gym equipment now and versatility is way more important today.
The options the home gym enthusiast has today, even compared to two years ago, is INSANE!!!! Just look at all the cable towers that have come out in the last year or two. This is golden era for home gym!
I JUST converted my 108” rogue monster 4 post with the REP L shaped crossmembers to a gull wing shaped half rack with plate storage. It’s slick and takes up half the room. The L shaped members fit the rogue uprights like a glove. I’ll post some pics when I get around to it. Adonis and a smith like trolley system are next on the list. Upgrading my titan leg ext/curl v2 to a selectorized one-hopefully by REP-is on the next tier of the list And finally the reppins adjustable DBs fall somewhere in between. Good things ahead!!
I am a huge REP fan. I have a fully decked out PR-5K with the Ares 1.0. I also have 5 bars from them as well and am totally happy with the entire setup. I also have the REPxPepin dumbbells on pre-order. Can’t wait for those to come out. No need for a commercial gym, just walk right out to the garage. Thanks for the great review. Keep after it!
@@socksforchristmas411 Absolutely NOT. I love every piece. If anything I wish I could afford the Ares 2.0. The updates are awesome! I am in my gym 5 days a week so this equipment has gotten plenty of use. GL on your equipment search.
Stumbled upon a product called UClips earlier today and was hoping you guys had reviewed them. They might not warrant a stand alone video but they might be a decent home gym accessory. They look pretty versatile, I would like to see Coop test the functionality. Love your work guys
2 of these for a squat rack would be perfect. Coop you are asking all of the right questions! Additionally, when you make your review please test to see if the prime foot plate for low row would fit on this!
Don't know what equipment you are refering to. But they do have another channel that reviews a lot of cardio equipment. "Garage Gym Reviews Everything" Perhaps it is there (or will be released there).
I would absolutely love to see what you could build out of two of these. You mentioned a squat rack, and I'm sure you can add a pullup bar across the top - what else??? Also very interested in your review of the functional trainer, especially two of them from a dual-Adonis, and how they compare with something that is specifically meant to be a functional trainer, such as FreeMotion machine (which costs roughly the same as two of the Adonis machines). I'd be very interested to see if you thought you could get the same functionality from two Adonisis (Adoni??) as you could a FreeMotion Genesis Dual Cable Cross. Thanks!!!
I would love to see if you can add an upright/crossmember and make it into a squat stand. Probably not gonna shell out for dual Adonis but would like to save some space.
Super high quality, I just can’t help but feel like they missed an opportunity in making it more compatible with an upright for use as a rack. The way it’s caged obviously has its limitations, but even just being able to run cross members to something other than another Adonis would’ve made it more versatile
Could you review a cheaper-end multifunctional weight bench that can do both decline crunches and back extension? Products such as the Finer Form Multi-Functional FID Weight Bench. Love the content, great work!
We need an Adonis Lite. Slightly shorter, a little less depth and anchorable to a concrete wall to reduce the footprint. It would get a Lat/Low Row into smaller gyms
That sounds a lot like the wall mounted Athena, which btw I'd love to get but I would prefer to have a plate loaded side and a selectorized side on the other end, unfortunately REP don't sell such a setup and buying the rep Athena system by itself does not support a 4 post variant for the plate loaded version, which sucks badly
Might be a little too picky, but would love to see a stainless steel front upright option. Would be worried about that powder coat wearing with the pulley going up and down and the Pegasus being placed in different spots.
Hey Coop!! Have you seen/heard of the Force USA C10? Apprently it comes out this month. I heard it has a (sliding) bench that actually turns into hack squat/leg press machine!
Is there enough space to work around the footplate to do functional trainer exercises on the floor... Say a weighted cable crunch? Or are you gonna have to scoot way back to get away from the footplate and lose cable travel?
I want to know if they plan on selling those mag pins by themselves?!?! I hate to buy some Fringe sport magpins for my Rep rack just to have Rep release those later.
As a US machining manufacturer, if REP brought their manufacturing in house, or Made in USA, I would buy them, its not much cheaper for Made in China anymore, until then it's Rogue for me.
Can 6’ pull up bars be attached to this? What is the depth of the Adonis between the uprights? Ie what length crossmember would I need in an adjacent rack to be of equal depth?
This on eof those attachments that make me wonder if buying Ares was the best choice. I live the Ares but when using attachments cables become a lot let useful because you can't slide it down to be able to do rows for example or anything that requires the cables to be moved down. It's one reason I never use my ISO Arms, they're a pain to put on and you have to remove them to move cables down. I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone complaining about this. I guess there's no way around it, and may be there's no point in complaining, I just wish I knew that. I still love my Ares, except when I see a nice attachment like this.
I've seen similar comments about the ISO Arms. Coop mentioned at the end something about a new design for the Arms possibly in the works. Does that sound right to you?
@@kyles8391I wouldn’t say I’m ready to invest in another ISO arms, but Coop gave me another idea he mentioned on another video and that is to buy a couple uprights and set them up just for the ISO arms and possibly other attachments. While looking I actually found a solution that is sold exactly for that.
Don't know if you saw Coop's review yesterday of the new PRx jammer arms. I was stoked when Coop featured them in an earlier prototype video because they include a pulley option where you can pull through a cable from your rack. But PRx priced these arms at $1500 and that's without the pulley option which they said would come later in the future at some point. It was a cool concept though, especially being able to use the weight stack from your cable system instead of separate plates.
I would like to see rep come out with a lat pull/ low row without the added half functional trainer. It seems like there was a lot of compromise on this product. I have a twin athena at the moment. Adonis 2.0...?
Please connect it to a rack with an Athena and let us know how different they feel and also what rack depth matches. Seems like Adonis depth is excessive.
I was so amped up and typing so fast on my 1st comment to you that I spelled Gymcrafter's wrong, sorry Tim, I should've proofread it before sending, I was hot though, sorry
So we’re looking at about $5000 by the time it’s all said and done? Who can afford a home gym anymore if that’s the going rate (tonal/virtruvian/others, etc)?
I'm not in the market for one of these and don't have the space for it, but I've dropped a pretty penny on my gym equip. If I factor the investment in my health, time saved traveling to and from the gym daily over years, time saved by having generally more efficient workouts, not having to deal with the toxic immature gym crowd, ability to exercise with my wife and kid, the ability to work out at home while the baby naps... it's a no-brainer. Worth every pretty penny.
