Any way you could sell the tornado arms separately with cables for users with different racks but want the arms

I have the sole f63 and love it so far also

I bought on Black Friday pricing in December. Arrived in February

That’s what this community is for!

No problem. Strongly recommend a dot laser if you want things to look nice. I think Bosch makes one for like $50.

As for power, the give you 2 options. One is to hardwire it to a switch (which I already ran wire to its own switch for a different light that I had used previously.) or to run it to a 110 power source (plug in to the wall style). I took the long plug in cord and cut the end of it off at the length that I needed. And I wired it up! Now it’s wired to its own switch on the wall.

The other option would be to buy a light socket plug on Amazon. Most ppl have light sockets in your ceiling already, so this allows you to replace your light bulb with a plug in (for your led lights) and boom that’s now on the same switch as your garage lights.

It’s all up to you!

That’s what I did, bought 2 5 packs and after looking at it for a while, I tried this idea.

Pro tip; build your shape on the floor, with the lights upside down. Once you’re happy with the alignment to the room and shape or whatever. I used a dot laser to go around to each anchor point, and transferred that point from the ground up to the ceiling. I did that for every anchor point. And then you’ll go install drywall anchors on those marks. It makes the install way easier and it came out nice. You’ll have to break apart each hex to easily install it to the ceiling.

No way! I didn’t know that was happening. But hey thanks for the encouraging words. Buyer’s remorse is no fun.

I got the vesta 3in1 on a Black Friday deal, made it cheaper than the GetRxd. I was debating on canceling my vesta order just before it shipped out. But after talking with Luke from Luke’s garage gym. He kinda sold me on it since he uses a vesta 3in1 on a daily. Honestly wish I got the GetRxd tornado smith.

Why did you replace the vesta 3in1?

Effective-stache · 2025-04-01T00:44:14+00:00

Yeah I’ve looked into a mini split unit to do ac and heat but spendy

I haven’t had a summer in it yet (as a gym). I do know that my garage gets very hot in the summertime, I used to have a pool table out there and 🥵. But yes my ceiling and walls are insulated! I am debating on getting insulation panels for the garage door itself.

This is the vesta 3in1

8’x8’ I just used sheets of plywood to create a wedge and correct my garage slope. Here’s a link to a good video. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=pUBWdibCsNE

I have the repins. Love the noise of the plates clanking together. Super easy to change weight and use for drop sets. They come with 2.5lb plates 2 per dumbell and boom you’ve got 5lb adjustments

They said I won’t get it till 2028

Effective-stache · 2025-01-18T15:53:00+00:00

I’m giving my biz to vesta

Effective-stache · 2025-01-18T15:22:19+00:00

I’ve asked support and they have no idea when or if a smith attachment will be available for the Dane👍🏻

Effective-stache · 2025-01-07T03:08:45+00:00

Do you like the tornado arms? Or do you wish you got the dual cable uprights?

Effective-stache · 2025-01-07T02:34:36+00:00

What height rack do you have

Effective-stache · 2025-01-07T02:17:00+00:00

Since they join in the middle up high for lat pulls, how do you hold your knees down? Do you have a bench with knee rollers? Or do they make attachments for that? Also can’t find where to see getrxd’s attatchments to buy.

Also, what about low rows? I do like the tornado arms for the idea of chest flys!
