  I was hesitant to buy, but happy I did.

  I ended up getting the MaxPro, the Wall Track, and the Bench. I'm happy with each, but here's how I'd rate each.MaxPro Device:It is great. I am still in the breaking-in phase of the cables. The lighter weights have smoothed, the heavier ones still have a little settling, but are pretty good already (only few weeks in). If they didn't improve, I'd be fine with it. I'm a neat freak and hate clutter so I really love that this device takes up no space to use or store. I have bowflex selectteck dumbells which don't take up too much space. But this is even easier to change weights and isn't 100 lbs making it hard for me or others to move out of the way. You can really workout anywhere. Regarding no eccentric force: there is just enough for the light weight resistance. And for the heavy weights, to be honest, I think I prefer the no eccentric. For instance, yanking a heavy dumbbell to my lap to do a bench press is just not appealing anymore like when I was in my 20's, I'd rather not risk pulling an odd muscle because I want to get a heavy bench press in. I'm not ruling out dumbbells forever, I'll likely switch things up, but I’m glad I gave this a shot. What is important is doing the work and whatever motivates you is the right program or equipment. Sometimes a new device can make it fun and gets you invested again. This will likely stay my primary device given it's flexibility and low footprint. And it is just so easy to get some sort of work out in (which is always better than nothing); it weakens the excuse factors. Give it a try.Wall Track:You can get by without it, but I highly recommend you get it. It just opens up the list/types of workouts you can do immensely. Sure there is the door mounts, but I think they should be considered for traveling. You could live with the door mounts if you didn't have to regularly remove them. My box came with two so you could keep one at low and high position and be okay. But if you are considering the wall mount at all, just do it. It's better looking than the door mount for one, and it will add any angle to your workout, switching position in seconds. In my opinion, you do want the two door mounts up at all time or the wall track. You can do plenty of workouts with the device alone, don’t be deterred, but including the mounts will replace a gym membership.Bench: The product itself is really nice. I got a black Friday sale so I am going to keep it. I've only just started using the MaxPro system so take this for what it's worth. I think the Wall Track is a must and the Bench is a nice to have. I feel like I can do pretty much everything I want to do with the Wall Track. The bench is there if I want to do more of a traditional-style Bench Press. I see the benefit for that. Don't get me wrong, the app has a ton of exercises to do with the Bench. This is just how I see the value for my workouts. It can easily be the opposite for you.In closing: I know this is expensive, but cancelling a membership for a year at most gyms already covers the cost of this equipment. It's worth that investment to have the options at home. I permanently cancelled my gym membership 5-6 years before covid, doing P90X / Beachbody stuff (which has a great streaming library – check it out too). I haven't missed the gym at all, in fact have been better off physically and financially. And now I'm adding this. I'm way ahead in the cost factor and can add thoughtful things in the future to my home if I wish. Think about the time you spend traveling to/from the gym, time spent in the building and locker room, or waiting for equipment. I'm a working parent and all those time factors became the bigger investment than the money. Cancel your gym. Look for a sale. I'm not saying to buy this, that this is the only option, I'm saying you will be happy with it. And given my suspicion of what the average person does at a gym, this will be just fine for better than 9 of 10 people. Also, if you’re unfamiliar with cable equipment at the gym, download the MAXPro app and look at the exercise library.

  Honest Review - Pretty Impressed

  I wanted to wait to write the review till I got through the majority of possible work outs. So far I am very impressed. I have a gym set up at my house (free weights and a bowflex sport), and was looking to clear out the bowflex to make some room. Here are a few comments:- The resistance is legit. Its a little Jerky and takes a little getting used to, but once you break it in its solid.- Yes the resistance is only concentric. Which in my opinion isn't that big of a deal. Coming from someone who has been working out for a long time, you can absolutely get a great work out.- Not every work out is perfect, I still use my dumbbell free weights for certain exercises but very surprised by the versatility.- I am 6'2, wish the width for feet was a little wider but not terrible. Squats are just a little more narrow that I am used to.The App is ok, nothing special but seems like its getting better. it does have work out routines that you can follow which is super helpful. I would definitely recommend getting the Maxpro bench to make it that much better for bench press. I am using the door mount right now and its working fine for lat pull down and other pull options.Overall the work outs have been great, I am a month into using it and pretty happy with the purchase. If it was more expensive I would think twice about buying it. If I had unlimited space and money I would consider getting something like Tonal, but this is a really good option.

  Versatile, tiny footprint, safe workout, solidly built. GREAT PRODUCT!!!

  In short:Space Saver- you could get a weight machine, and you can probably do all the things Maxpro can do, but you dedicated the room to the machine. You have a home gym, but that's it. With Maxpro, I have a room I can use for weight training, yoga, sewing, Guitar Hero...Versatility- it can do everything a weight machine or a Bowflex type machine would do (but taking up a fraction of space). Dumbells- sure, I thought about getting hundreds of pounds of metal, but then, doing a lateral pull would be an issue. Maxpro provides training in any direction! I love doing those punching exercises, as well as squats, and lateral pulldowns. All in one small package. Amazing.Safety- I'm not worried about any weights dropping, or something snapping (whether it be a cable or my neck :O) Maxpro feels so safe.I'm a mechanical engineer, and I research stuff to death before I make a decision. Yes, one of those people. When I was searching for a home gym, since I got rid of my gym membership... I wanted something versatile. I'm also kind of person who want options, but I'm not a buff guy. I looked at big names like Bowflex and Nordictrack. I looked at their home gym setup, and also their nifty dumbell sets. They all had major issues. If you see the photo of my Maxpro setup, it doesn't really get in anything's way (other than the mat, which is 4'x8' for your reference). If I had spent the same money getting one of those conventional home gym setup, my tiny room would be full with the setup! I didn't want this gym towering over me in this multi-purpose room I use for hobbies, and many other things. Even the smallest setup would have taken something like 6'x4' PERMANENTLY. Maxpro does wonders in that area. It takes next to no space. You need space to workout, but except for that 10 minutes a week (:O), the space is yours!Build is great. It's substantial. It reminded me of Iron Man... It's all aluminum... not that Iron Man would have been built with Aluminum, but Maxpro feels great. It feels solid, quality made. You get what you pay for (in a good way!).I notice that some people think this is expensive. I mean, for the same price, you could get a towering hunks of metal that will sit in your room, taking up maybe 6'x6' or more permanently. Maxpro did everything home gym did in a small packaging. If you want more hunk of metal, why would one buy Mercedes when you can get a semi-truck for the same price?I also find some people don't like the whole concentric exercise, etc. There's very informational video on the Maxpro Facebook site, and it's not a sales pitch- they're just saying that different exercises serve different goals. I'm not a big guy, and I work out to stay healthy. I didn't notice anything less because of concentric exercise part. In fact, I'm much big of a fan of it now. One big reason is, it doesn't feel like the machine's going to explode. What I mean is, when you use a weight machine or Bowflex, there's this huge energy build-up. Even the cheap elastic bands are going to store energy when you're extending them twice the original length. Imagine bench pressing 200 lbs with a dumbell or a weight machine, and you can't drop it safely, or something snapping, and there's no one spotting you. That's going to come crashing down and do something- at the least make horrendous noise, or at the worst injure someone or your dog. With Maxpro, you put in the effort, but without feeling like something is going to break or explode. I love that.And there's this cool App. There are many exercises you can search (almost too many) for. It also has these "coached exercises." It feels just like a personal trainer, and the video eases you into using Maxpro seamlessly. I'm in the process of trying all of it to see which I like the best, and just to get used to using Maxpro. I say those coached exercieses should be the first thing you try if you get Maxpro. Maxpro connects to your phone's bluetooth, and it counts the reps for you, etc- pretty nifty.Overall, I'm a big fan. It's compact, versatile, easy to use. It feels solid built, unlike some questionable products. I wrote this lengthy review because I'm convinced that Maxpro made a great product, and they definitely deserve the attention!
