REVIEWS
Mikolo Falcon Functional Trainer Review
A wide, shallow functional trainer with a simple 1:1 mode for heavier pulls, but assembly polish and missing OEM lat/row supports are the tradeoff.
Major Fitness Drone 1 Power Cage Review
A budget all-in-one cage with inside safeties and a plate-loaded cable system, but cable smoothness and long-term loading limits are the tradeoff.
Speediance Gym Monster 2 Review
A compact smart home gym with electromagnetic resistance, interactive classes, and dynamic training modes, but limited by a 220-pound max resistance.
XMARK Commercial Lat Pulldown + Low Row + Single-Stack Functional Trainer Review
The XMARK single-stack cable tower nails the functional trainer feel, but the 2:1 low row maxes at 110 lbs effective and the lat pulldown isn’t as smooth as it should be.
REP Fitness Ares 2.0 Review
Ares 2.0 turns a REP rack into a full dual-stack cable gym, but the cost and rack-only compatibility change who it really makes sense for.
Vesta Pioneer Series Power Rack Review
A premium-looking all-in-one with an excellent Smith machine, but the 2:1 stacks and shroud geometry limit heavy lat pulldowns and belt squats.
Force USA FTR Functional Trainer Rack Review
The Force USA FTR combines a true 3x3 power rack with a dual-stack functional trainer and articulating arms in a compact footprint.
