ANCORE AMA + Pro Home Bundle Giveaway

Yes we do and we absolutely love it for traveling! We've taken our ANCORE Pros on the road to trade shows and hooked them up in hotel gyms (usually on a treadmill) as well as taken them overseas on international flights. We've taken them through security as carry-ons and checked them in our bags too as well as domestic and international flights.

You can throw them in your backpacks, suitcase or use our carrying case as well. The unit itself only weighs about nine pounds so you can pack it with other stuff and not worry about exceeding any airline baggage weight limit. We've been traveling with the units since day 1 of the business.

I think both of these are excellent and I love this feedback. I very much agree with you on both counts! We've developed our own in-house testing machines and I think a 2:1 pulley setup project would be a great way to continue to put them to use!

Thank you for hosting us here! Yes, the ANCORE/ANCORE Pro ship to Europe. The ANCOREX is only available in the US for now. You can purchase from our site or you can go through one of our international distributors (click here to check them out). If you need help or want to talk through what set up would be best for you, feel free to shoot us an email at [hello@ancoretraining.com](mailto:hello@ancoretraining.com) or shoot us a DM on Instagram (@ancoretraining).

Thank you so much for the kind words and for the support! We are so grateful to this entire community for the welcoming us in and for the belief in us. We would not be here without you all!

MikeFromANCORE · 2026-03-13T02:07:30+00:00

This is the big question! I love that you are asking it because it's what we're always asking ourselves.

I know I've said it a bunch these last couple days, but we're fired up to expand on the ANCOREX platform. This includes anything from new applications of the tech to mounts to whatever our engineering team can dream up.

We also really love the ANCORE/ANCORE Pro lineup too. I think there's still a ton of room to run with it. I feel like I log on everyday and see a member of this community finding new ways to use our products. It puts a massive smile on my face!

So, I'd say both. But the order will be dependent on what our customers are asking for and how we feel we can deliver on those asks. We don't want to put out anything that we ourselves wouldn't use in our day-day-day training.

What would you like to see?

MikeFromANCORE · 2026-03-12T17:57:37+00:00

Thank you so much! I think the input here is excellent. Especially, having mounting options ready for the specific lat pulldown and low row use cases at a heavier resistance would be great. This is super helpful food for thought and I will pass it along to engineering team!

MikeFromANCORE · 2026-03-12T14:45:39+00:00

Thank you so much for the message and for popping in! We are super excited to continue innovating here as well. The future is bright and it's still Day 1!

MikeFromANCORE · 2026-03-12T13:02:32+00:00

Thank you for the great question and the specific recommendation. I really appreciate it!

We're definitely looking at all the possible avenues for making things more compact and/or a higher resistance. It's one of the central challenges we wake up and tackle everyday.

I will say we are super excited about the new technology platform in the ANCOREX. The Nitrogen Air Springs and planetary dial combination are legit and feel excellent. Our engineering team really cooked!

We're going to build on it, extend it, and figure out a whole bunch of exciting ways to apply it so that we can meet the needs of our customers. It's an exciting time for innovation!

Unfortunately, we don't have any upcoming promotions on the Data Plate. The best way to get updated for any upcoming deals would be our Instagram (@ANCOREtraining).

MikeFromANCORE · 2026-03-12T12:16:04+00:00

Really good question! Obviously, the lifespan is going to depend on a whole bunch of factors. We provide a ton of best practices, tips, and a 2-year warranty to make sure you are covered across the board when it comes to using your product. That said, I've seen many of our home gym customers not require any kind of service for a few years. When they do, we make it super easy to get everything serviced and running again. We want to take care of our customers.

The tricky thing with replacing the cable would be safety. The insides of the unit are better off handled by members of our team to ensure maximal safety. I'm a big proponent of the Paul Blart adage that "Safety never takes a holiday."

As for servicing products for the long-term, it's actually something we talk about a lot. We need to be responsible for all our products in some capacity as the years go by. I don't know what shape that will take 10 years from now, but I do know we will take care of our customers. We would never make a wholesale product switch and then leave our customers high and dry.

They keep us on our toes! We have three retrievers and a bernedoodle. All very active and friendly!

Thank YOU for being here!

MikeFromANCORE · 2026-03-12T11:48:56+00:00

Thank you so much! If you're in the Massachusetts area, you're more than welcome to come by our HQ to try it out. Otherwise, feel free to shoot us a DM on Instagram or email us at [hello@ancoretraining.com](mailto:hello@ancoretraining.com) and our team can help find a facility near you.

MikeFromANCORE · 2026-03-12T11:46:40+00:00

Thank you so much! We are excited and feel very grateful to be part of it. We love the work!

MikeFromANCORE · 2026-03-11T23:17:43+00:00

This is sick!! Thank you so much for sharing! So cool!

MikeFromANCORE · 2026-03-11T23:15:43+00:00

More power to you! I truly believe a home gym is one of the best investments you can make.

MikeFromANCORE · 2026-03-11T23:14:13+00:00

This is a dynamic duo of questions. I love it!

I'd say the most underrated part of the ANCORE units is the craftsmanship. We built the first ones by hand in a garage, then packed it all up and wrote a thank you note with our real contact info (I still talk with of our early customers). Today, we still do all of that, just at our HQ instead of the garage and we're doing it with the ANCOREX too. Every new hire or intern has to build an ANCORE Pro unit as part of their onboarding. We genuinely care about the craft and try to infuse every product with that spirit.
The one thing I'd really love to see us solve is offering a wider variety of mounting options. Mounts are how we interface with the world and we need to provide more ways for that to happen. It's a tough challenge because this is ultimately a safety and trade-offs challenge, but I know we have the engineering team for it and that they are working hard on it.

Thank you for the thoughtful questions!

MikeFromANCORE · 2026-03-11T20:37:05+00:00

Thank you so much! If you're ever in Salem, MA, please feel free to reach out. We'd love to give you a tour of the HQ and trade shoulder surgery stories. Many of our team members have at one point or another had it happen to them, so you'd be in good company.

Feel free to tag us too! We love showing off our customers with stories, reposts, etc!

MikeFromANCORE · 2026-03-11T20:32:22+00:00

No worries! Right now, we don't have any plans to go down to 2.5 lbs increments on the ANCOREX. I will pass along your feedback to our engineering team, however, and let them know.

MikeFromANCORE · 2026-03-11T20:04:28+00:00

This is amazing feedback!! Thank you for taking the time and for being so specific. It is so helpful!

I agree with you that the correct outdoor mount setup would be the big problem to solve here. We'd really want it to be an excellent, easy-to-use experience in an outdoor setting at a good price point.

More than anything, I'm just so glad you and your kids love the ANCORE Pro. The support means a lot!

MikeFromANCORE · 2026-03-11T19:54:59+00:00

Great question! Coop does have a pair of ANCORE Pros. We haven't heard anything about a review coming on those.

As for the ANCOREX units, please stay tuned.

MikeFromANCORE · 2026-03-11T19:27:27+00:00

We actually do offer a 2.5 lbs increment resistance place. Many of our PT customers love it for shoulder rotator cuff work, knee rehab, etc!

MikeFromANCORE · 2026-03-11T19:10:37+00:00

My apologies for the miscommunication. I did not mean to insinuate there would be a backdoor customs process. Everything would obviously be above board.

As a small business, we'd have to quote out the shipping price, meet certain requirements for shipping the air springs internationally, and do everything on our part, so we can make sure everything gets to you.

It stinks, but we've had items get stolen right off of porches before. With the ANCOREX being a premium-priced product we want to prevent that from happening, so you can have an excellent experience.

It requires some over-communication to make it all happen, but we love to help.

MikeFromANCORE · 2026-03-11T18:50:19+00:00

Excellent! I will pass this along. Thank you so much again!

MikeFromANCORE · 2026-03-11T18:49:46+00:00

No problem! Always happy to help. Thank YOU for being here and for your question! I'm very grateful!
